<li>Reuters reports that Elliott has offered to pay around market price to buy <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/toyota-industries-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:4500:1" rel="noopener">Toyota Industries (6201 JP)</a> shares from holders who have agreed to tender.

<li>Elliott’s strategy is three-fold: increase its stake without launching an expensive partial offer, ensure the minimum is not met, and ensure Fudosan discloses, at best, a modest increase in acceptances. </li>
<li>Elliott’s campaign may work too well, and there remains a possibility that the tender offer fails. In such a scenario, the downside to a deal break price is limited.</li>

Reuters reports that Elliott has offered to pay around market price to buy Toyota Industries (6201 JP) shares from holders who have agreed to tender. The close is 2 March.
Elliott’s strategy is three-fold: increase its stake without launching an expensive partial offer, ensure the minimum is not met, and ensure Fudosan discloses, at best, a modest increase in acceptances. 
Elliott’s campaign may work too well, and there remains a possibility that the tender offer fails. In such a scenario, the downside to a deal break price is limited.

<li>At first glance, the disclosure of acceptances was an own goal, as the shares reached new highs, giving Elliott a gift to strengthen its call to reject the offer.</li>
<li>Alternatively, Fudosan’s disclosure could be a shrewd move to signal that its likely endgame (bump marginally above 3Q book value and possibly lower minimum) will succeed.  </li>
