(Mostly) Asia-Pac M&A: Lynas, Tietto Minerals, JSR, Shinko Electric, TDCX

Tally 50 – mostly firm, mostly Asia-Pac – transactions currently being discussed and analysed on Smartkarma. Inside is a timetable of upcoming key events for each deal.
No new deals were discussed on Smartkarma this week; although a Lynas Corp Ltd (LYC AU) / MP Materials Corp (MP US)tie-in (again) rumoured.
Key updates took place on: Azure Minerals (AZS AU), Tietto Minerals (TIE AU), JSR Corp (4185 JP), Shinko Electric (6967 JP), TDCX (TDCX US), and Hollysys Automation Technologies (HOLI US).

A weekly summary of key developments across ECM and Event-Driven names tracked by us across Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, India and Chinese ADRs.
ECM developments: Kokusai Electric (6525 JP) and J&T Global Express (1519 HK) lock-ups. HD Hyundai Marine Solution (443060 KS), ZEEKR (ZK US) and Sichuan Baicha Baidao Industrial (2555 HK) IPOs.
Event-Driven developments: Hollysys Automation Technologies (HOLI US), Shinko Electric Industries (6967 JP), Inageya Co Ltd (8182 JP), Hang Lung Properties (101 HK), Tietto Minerals Ltd (TIE AU).

Pasona (2168 JP)will pay out 10-20% of the extraordinary gain from the Benefit One (2412 JP) sale. It will take its sweet time doing so. For no apparent reason.
Hang Lung Properties (101 HK)‘s first-ever scrip dividend provides the means for the Chan Family to indirectly chip away at minorities.
Hollysys Automation Technologies (HOLI US) accountant resignation announcement is a nothing burger. An update on PRC regulatory approvals would be welcome about now though.
