From vultures to defenders, Japan private equity deals head for record year By Anton Bridge and Miho Uranaka TOKYO (Reuters) -Take-private deals in Japan are likely to hit a record high this year, exceeding the $40.3 billion total racked up in 2023, according to private equity funds and advisers, as companies bow to pressure to improve returns for investors. Japanese companies once feared private equity as "hagetaka", or vultures. Now they are increasingly open to buyouts and giving up their once-prized listed status in the face of calls from activist investors and the Tokyo Stock Exchange to overhaul capital management and cross-shareholdings. Private equity players say there is unprecedented interest from their backers in opportunities in Japan, with the spate of deals this year bucking a global slowdown in such activity. In the year to August 20, private equity deals totalled $27.6 billion, almost triple the $9.5 billion over the same period in 2024, Dealogic data shows. Prominent deals announced in the past month include Blackstone’s $3.5 billion offer for engineering staffing firm TechnoPro and EQT’s $2.7 billion bid for elevator-maker Fujitec. "We have an extremely rich pipeline of deals," said Kazuhiro Yamada, managing director at Carlyle Japan. "Of the more than 300 opportunities Carlyle Japan is seeing across its three core sectors, around 30 have a chance of closing in the next 12 to 18 months," Yamada said. The Tokyo Stock Exchange has set out stricter governance criteria, intended to make listed firms more attractive for investment, which is forcing companies to explore options including delisting. 3rd party Ad.

The bourse’s reform push, a response to Japan’s unusally high number of undervalued stocks, has sparked a slew of share buybacks, asset sales and management buyouts. PRIVATE EQUITY VS ACTIVIST INVESTORS Growing activist activity, which is seen as potentially preceding a go-private deal, is encouraging speculation on the stock price of targeted companies. "Particularly after activists come in, speculators can push the share price up so high that nobody could make an offer," said Akihiko Manaka, co-head of investment banking and head of M&A in Japan at Bank of America. The share price of Fujitec more than doubled in the three years between activist Oasis first targeting the company and EQT’s bid in July. The private equity firm’s offer was a discount to the market price. "By the time a company reaches the point of needing to privatise, it may be already too late to begin considering potential partners," said Kohei Fukushima, a director at EQT who worked on the Fujitec deal. To avoid that situation, companies are increasingly talking to private equity firms before management becomes the target of investors agitating for change, industry players say. "In some sense it has become a natural strategic option," said Eiji Yatagawa, a partner at KKR in Japan. "Some management are taking proactive action and considering privatisation even before activists become shareholders," Yatagawa said. Funds say that now up to around half of their discussions with companies are initiated by the companies themselves. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com.

"At the C-suite level, the general practice among PE funds is to at least give existing management a shot," said Jeremy White, partner and global co-head of M&A at law firm Morrison Foerster in Tokyo. Funds say Japan’s robust capital market supports later relistings and companies pursuing mergers and acquisitions and other funds also offer potential exit opportunities. "There’s a lot of capital to deploy in the industry and as a result, private equity firms’ positioning as potential buyers is strengthening," he said.

Japan finance minister aware of market concerns about fiscal health (Reuters) -Japanese Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato said on Friday he was aware of bond market concerns about the country’s fiscal policy ahead, in the build-up to an upper house election where the minority government is poised for another setback. Japanese government bonds plunged this week, sending yields on 30-year debt to an all-time high, after polls showed Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s coalition was in danger of losing its majority in the upper house vote on Sunday. "I’m aware of bond market views that the recent market movements reflect various concerns about fiscal policy ahead," Kato said, speaking to reporters after the meeting of finance leaders from the Group of 20 major economies in South Africa. "We’ll carefully respond to those market voices, carry out appropriate debt management and work to improve fiscal health to maintain market confidence," Kato said.
