TOKYO, July 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LIM Advisors Limited (“LIM Advisors”), which represents investment funds that collectively own shares of NichiiGakkan Co., Ltd. (“NichiiGakkan” or the “Company”) (TSE:9792), today sent a letter to the Company with questions on the governance process and disclosures surrounding the proposed MBO of the Company announced on 8 May 2020 (the “Letter”). Questions were focused on the following key topics 1) conservative financial forecasts which understate the corporate value; 2) financial sponsor`s exclusivity; 3) independence of Board members after the Transaction; 4) financial advisor’s potential conflicts of interest; 5) low offer premium; 6) lack of clarity on buyout structure; and 7) policy on handling alternative bids for the Company. We believe that answers to the above questions will be of significant interest to all shareholders of the Company as well as the governmental bodies who have been working to promote Abenomics and restoring Japan as a global financial center.
LIM Advisors continues to offer an opportunity for the Company to elaborate on the issues via public debate. The full text of today’s letter is below and can be found at (https://www.limadvisors.com/press-release).
