The tendering pact between Oasis Management and Bain Capital's Kakaku.com bidding vehicle expired on 20 August, but Oasis says it won't tender into the rival's ¥3,570 offer unless it rises to ¥3,640 a share, a floor that keeps the vehicle's KDDI-contingent offer competitive ahead of the rival tender's close on 27 August.
Japan's communications ministry and privacy watchdog accepted LY Corporation's final report on fixes to its 2023 data breach, closing off a compliance obligation that outlasted the original disclosure by nearly three years, though the one-page filing says nothing about what the regulators actually checked.
The Tokyo-registered issuer is pulling ¥35bn of two-year, ¥55bn of five-year and ¥30bn of ten-year unsecured bonds from a ¥500bn debt program that had ¥350bn of headroom left before this filing.
PayPay plans to buy 70.2% of T&D Financial Life from T&D Holdings for cash, a move LY Corporation says would make the insurer a specified subsidiary. The structure is not a clean buyout: OneIM Indigo is set to buy 14.9%, T&D plans to keep 14.9%, and closing is scheduled for October 1, 2027, subject to approvals, an IFRS transition plan and other conditions. For PayPay, the logic is plain enough: it wants life insurance alongside cards, banking and securities for its more than 74 million registered users.
