Nippon Sheet Glass (5202 JP) is now down to "pure arb." All approvals are in. All financing done. The remaining trade is to buy and hold until the cash settles.
I see no startling revelation when inspecting Guotai Junan International (1788 HK)'s s329 investigative reports.

Resonac (4004 JP) is spinning off 80+% of its petrochemical division. Crasus Chemical is unlikely to stay in MSCI. Definitely not Nikkei 225. Big selling on Day 1 at the close likely.

On 24 March, Nippon Sheet Glass (5202 JP) outlined its restructuring plan to create a new NSG group. The minority cash-out price is JPY500. The AGM is on 26 June.
The gross spread has increased to 6.4% due to heightened vote risk from the significant re-rating of peers and the decent FY2026 results on 11 May.
However, the AGM vote remains low-risk as no activist has emerged, key shareholders are supportive, and the leverage remains precarious. 


Nippon Sheet Glass (5202 JP): Widening Spread Ahead of the 26 June Vote

<li>Following yesterday's Nikkei report, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/nippon-sheet-glass-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:9013:1" rel="noopener">Nippon Sheet Glass (5202 JP)</a> outlined its restructuring plan to create a new NSG group. The minority cash-out price is JPY500. </li>
<li>The third-party allotment to Apollo and the share consolidation require shareholder approval of the special resolutions at the late June AGM. The transaction will be completed in late November.</li>
<li>While the offer is light, the vote should pass. The offer resulted from a market check, and without it, there is a non-negligible risk that the equity will be worthless. </li>
