<ul>
<li>ENEOS announced its deal for <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/tatsuta-electric-wire-cable-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12509:1" rel="noopener">Tatsuta Electric Wire &amp; Cable (5809 JP)</a> 18mos ago. China approval took a while. Now they have launched. </li>
<li>The TOPIX Non-Ferrous Metals sector has returned 60%. TOPIX 50%. There is a new TSE Sheriff in town asking for PBR 1.0x. BVPS is up. Presumably, forward CF is up.</li>
<li>But the TOB Price is unchanged. That is disappointing. One reason why a higher price was rejected was that no other buyer approached to take over the company. 🤷🏻‍♂️</li>
