T&K Toka (4636 JP): Bain Decision Time as Progress Made on a Pre-Condition

By Arun George

  • T&K Toka Co Ltd (4636 JP) has satisfied the precondition of selling its Hangzhou Toka Ink stake to hold less than 30%. The offer is targeted for early January.
  • Due to Dalton’s stake building, the shares have consistently traded above Bain’s pre-conditional JPY1,400 offer. Bain can either launch the tender with unchanged terms or bump the offer.
  • A bump is likely as, despite the irrevocables, satisfying the minimum acceptance condition is challenging. The Board will struggle to recommend the offer if the shares remain above terms. 

Ecopro Materials: Overshooting Share Price and Upcoming End of Lockup in December

By Douglas Kim

  • In this insight, we discuss the upcoming end of lockup in December for Ecopro Materials and why we believe Ecopro Materials’ share price will be much lower in 6-12 months. 
  • A combination of the potential inclusion in KOSPI Fast Entry plus the temporary ban on short selling of stocks in Korea has helped to push up Ecopro Materials’ share price.
  • However, despite this sharp share price run-up, we think the risk-reward is horrible on this stock in terms of bigger downside risk in the next 6-12 months.
