This is 900mm new shares for ~US$1.6bn of which 40% (US$630mm) goes to internationals, 60% to domestics.</li>
<li>There's a bunch of index buying to do between now and end-October. More than I originally thought due to one recent data point.</li>
<li>The stock has NOT gotten crushed in the last two weeks despite indications the sellers wouldn't mind. That tells me this is priced except for print risk. </li>

Index Rebalance

<ul>
<li>There are nine trading days (including today) until the end of the observation period for the Sep 2026 Nikkei 225 review. Things should be really obvious by now. </li>
<li>Given recent volatility, they really aren't. I see two definite ADDs. Probably a third. That means three deletes. Policy-wise, two are easy. Intellectually, they are not. </li>
<li>Then there are capping trades. As of today there are two on tap. Intraday Friday there were three. I got a question about it so will math the math here.</li>
