Nippon Sheet Glass (5202 JP) is now down to "pure arb." All approvals are in. All financing done. The remaining trade is to buy and hold until the cash settles.
I see no startling revelation when inspecting Guotai Junan International (1788 HK)'s s329 investigative reports.

Resonac (4004 JP) is spinning off 80+% of its petrochemical division. Crasus Chemical is unlikely to stay in MSCI. Definitely not Nikkei 225. Big selling on Day 1 at the close likely.

On the 20th January 2026, Skyworth (751 HK) announced an inter-conditional Scheme and concurrent listing of 70%-held Skyworth Photovoltaic (Skyworth PV) on the HKEx, by way of introduction.
The Dongfeng (489 HK)/Voyah (7489 HK)-like structure appeared fair. The challenge was that Skyworth PV's key comps were/are A-share listed, and Skyworth PV should trade at an H-share discount.
Currently trading right at the Scheme cash consideration, assigning zero value for Skyworth PV. Skyworth's share price is 22% below the pre-spin-off announcement price.  I can see this trending lower.
