TSE:8848
Chidori GK has contracted to tender all 50,507,600 Leopalace21 shares to K891 before the 30 October close, but can terminate if a funded rival bid at least 2.5% higher goes unmatched.
A regulatory change report shows Hikari Tsushin and UH Partners 2 will keep their combined 17.70% Leopalace21 stake out of K891's ongoing tender offer while agreeing to back a share consolidation and later buyback designed to leave K891 as the company's sole shareholder.
K891, a vehicle controlled by Hikari Tsushin, has filed a ¥1,000-per-share tender offer for Leopalace21 that would hand the bidder group 66.36% of voting rights at minimum, with Hikari Tsushin, MBK Partners and NEC Capital Solutions set to hold roughly a third each of the buyer's parent once fresh capital comes in after the offer closes.
