The Kirin Holdings (2503 JP) Tender Offer to buy out minorities in Fancl Corp (4921 JP) closes today. Or at least the current one does. 
The original deal announced was light, and the stock has traded above terms since the announcement, with one fund buying up to 7.94%.
I expect Kirin to extend and bump next week, or bump/extend now, depending on their visibility on Fancl Q1.
