TRYT (9164 JP) has recommended a tender offer from Carlyle Group / (CG US) at JPY880, a 34.6% premium to last close and a 135.3% premium to the undisturbed price.
Despite 26.7% below the IPO price, the offer is attractive compared to peer multiples and is above the mid-point of the IFA DCF valuation range.
The chance of a competing proposal is low, as Carlyle’s offer was the highest in the auction. EQT has provided an irrevocable (60.00% ownership ratio), which ensures a done deal.

<li>The exploration of the privatisation process is unsurprising, as Tryt was pre-rumour trading 69% below its JPY1,200 IPO price.</li>
