Carlyle has agreed to do an MBO on Iwasaki Electric (6924 JP) where the existing CEO who is 65yrs old will take a 0.5% stake.
As a purveyor of specialist industrial lighting, including transition to LED lighting for public space use, the company's place in the ecosystem is not undesirable. But it isn't hugely profitable.
This smallcap takeout at an 86% premium is probably still too light. And the Shareholder Structure is interesting.
