<li>On 6 January, Bloomberg reported an MBO might be forthcoming at ¥450bn implying ¥6400. Bloomberg has trouble counting shares, so the real price announced later that day was ¥6,082.</li>
<li>I wrote about it that day warning of such, and suggested the price was not overly generous even at ¥6400 but that it might be difficult to block. </li>
<li>I thought I had followed up post-announcement but cannot see my piece so here's what I thought I wrote then, with follow-up thoughts.</li>
