An announcement from Mandom ( (JP:4917) ) is now available.

Mandom has issued yet another amendment to its earlier notices supporting a management buyout, revising disclosures around its stance on competing acquisition proposals. Since November 2025, the company has been running a structured process to solicit alternative bids following a large-scale share acquisition move by City Index Eleventh.

During this process, Mandom received a legally binding letter of intent from KKR outlining a rival transaction, prompting the board to compare KKR’s proposal against the ongoing tender offer launched in September 2025 by Kalon Holdings. The company engaged both KKR and the tender offeror in detailed discussions about their respective value-enhancement plans and, after receiving a February 6 proposal to raise the tender offer price to ¥3,105 per share conditional on board support, undertook a careful evaluation of which option better serves long-term corporate value and shareholder interests.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4917) stock is a Hold with a Yen3318.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mandom stock, see the JP:4917 Stock Forecast page.
