Sumitomo Electric Industries (5802 JP) is taking over to subs through tender offers. Both are light. Both this one for Techno Associe (8249 JP) and the one for Nissin Electric.
Both deals are light -slightly offensive, but in different ways. The Board decisions are more offensive than the actual prices, but it's Sumi Elec buying, so those are offensive too.
There's a history here. Sumi Elec went to 51% at an offensively low price (EV/EBITDA below zero) in 2019. But this is probably a done deal anyway.
