Sakata Inx Corp (4633 JP) and Toyo Ink Sc Holdings (4634 JP) are finally getting around to unwinding the rest of their cross-holdings from their decision 5yrs ago.
This is highly accretive. +10% on EPS this year on a weighted average basis and +16.8% on a spot basis. 
The reason is good governance and capital efficiency. A side effect is it shifts the shareholder structure more in favor of economic investors.

A change of pace with two infrequently discussed stubs in unwind territory: 
News Corp (NWSA US)  / REA Group Ltd (REA AU), and Jafco Co Ltd (8595 JP) / Nomura Research Institute Ltd (4307 JP).
and ...
two lesser-known stubs in set-up territory:  Iljin Holdings (015860 KS) / Iljin Electric (103590 KS), and Sakata Inx Corp (4633 JP)  / Siix Corp (7613 JP).



Preceding my comments on these holding company relationships are the weekly setup/unwind tables for Asia-Pacific Holdcos.
