<ul>
<li>The fact <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/toyota-industries-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:4500:1" rel="noopener">Toyota Industries (6201 JP)</a> is only 4+% through terms is an indication investors are unconvinced blocking this deal gets a good governance result. That's bad. </li>
<li>Remember TICO+Toyota Group were already unwinding cross-holdings. The original docs said they'd agreed. I doubt they un-agree. The transaction WITH buybacks WITHOUT takeover (or restructuring) has a BVPS of ¥28,855.</li>
<li>If the benefits of uplift are shared with Toyota and all Crossholders, they receive an extra ¥385bn and ¥159bn and post-deal minority BVPS is "just" ¥25,549. Best outcome? Deal break.</li>
