Tosei Corp (8923 JP)/GIC is attempting to use the Bain/MCJ playbook by indicating that the Sankei Real Estate (2972 JP) price and closing date (18 May) are final.
However, Tosei/GIC is unlikely to repeat Bain’s success, particularly given that Murakami entities' filing today shows that its ownership increased to 22.75%. 
It is likely the tender will fail. Murakami is likely looking to initiate an auction for all or part of Sankei RE post-deal break, replicating the FMH real estate auction.
