Tenders of shares and options, equal to 207,044,870 shares, cleared the 158,716,000-share minimum, so K891, Inc. will buy all of them and, once settlement starts on November 9, become Leopalace21's parent with 63.35% of voting rights.
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.
Katitas's ¥2,000-a-share cash offer for Toubujyuhan has the board's backing and pledges from holders of 45.01%; if it succeeds, the company pays no year-end dividend and ends its shareholder benefit scheme.
Hulic's ¥295-a-share offer for the rest of Riso Kyoiku Group is a 41.15% premium, ¥25 below its 2024 price, with no majority-of-minority condition, and Riso's board backs it.
Holders tendered 9,057,536 JPMC shares at ¥2,270, above the 5,049,300 minimum, but the bidders will still need a share-consolidation vote before the planned delisting from the Prime market, with settlement starting October 13.

Amsterdam1 and Amsterdam2 raised their tender offer for Japan Property Management Center to ¥2,270 a share on September 14, but cut the shares they plan to buy and lowered the acceptance minimum after agreeing that Hikari Tsushin group shareholders, holding 9.93% of the company, would sit the tender out entirely, with 8.69% of that stake later sold to JPMC as treasury stock through a related entity.
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.
The Tokyo Growth-market holding company plans to put $3.5mn into a US solar installer that has been balance-sheet insolvent for three consecutive years, and it has already warned investors the shares themselves could need an impairment charge.
The Tokyo-listed asset manager confirmed its Six Senses Kyoto security-token offering and the underlying trust beneficiary interest transfer are complete, with revenue expected at 10% or more of last year's sales and profit at 30% or more of its five-year average, already built into next year's guidance.

The catch: ASIAN STAR's Hash Global-backed plan to tokenize Japanese real estate on BNB Chain is unusually detailed, but ¥217.0mn of the potential ¥439.0mn raise depends on later warrant exercises.
Urbanet approved the sale of a 274-unit investment apartment in Funabashi, Chiba, in a deal it says exceeds the 10%-of-revenue disclosure threshold, but contract signing is planned for July 2026 and handover is not until March 31, 2028. That leaves current-year guidance unchanged because revenue recognition is slated for the year ending June 2028.
JTM says it holds 55,211,107 RISE shares and equivalents, or 53.99% of the total, after the tender offer closed, replacing the former parent and pushing RISE into controlled-subsidiary territory.

Dualtap plans a company split on Aug. 1 that moves the business at The Residence Shirokane Suite into Dualtap Community for ¥220 million, subject to shareholder approval on June 15.

For the year ended November 2025, the business generated ¥309.0 million in revenue and ¥57.9 million in operating profit, which makes this more concrete than the average strategy memo.
