The process in the Toyota Industries (6201 JP) transaction is egregiously bad and lacking in  transparency. This deal, as structured, is block-able, even if bumped.
There's been a lot of enthusiasm for HK spin-offs of late (Zijin Mining (2899 HK) and MINISO (9896 HK)). I'm not convinced Dongfeng Motor (489 HK) deserves similar accolades.  
If you've the ability to borrow Aeon (8267 JP), this promises to be fun/interesting. If you're a long-only investor, it's more nuanced. And it depends on where you are post-tender.
