On 29 October 2024, NEC Corp (6701 JP) announced a tender offer for subsidiary Nec Networks &amp; System Integr (1973 JP). They own 51% already. The price was too low. 
They need 15.3% and with crossholders, I expect they have another 4.7-5.7% of shares "in the bag." 
But a large sometimes activist owned 2% and bought another 4% on Day 1. That changes the calculus. Details matter.
