Et les grandes opérations d'offre secondaire sont rares, car il faut que plusieurs gros actionnaires se mettent d'accord pour vendre.
Je ne sais pas si je suis très clair, car je ne plonge pas là-dedans depuis longtemps x)

Offre secondaire c'est comme le marché de l'occasion en gros, les investisseurs s'échangent des titres déjà émis (c'est la très grande majorité des transactions car Nintendo émet rarement des actions).

Pour les actions croisées, j'ai lu que c'est une demande des autorités du marché japonais.

Je pense que les 2 sont vrais, à la fois faire plaisir aux actionnaires et maintenir le cours de bourse en annulant des actions.
Après les grandes opérations de type offre secondaire comme celle-ci reste assez rare chez Nintendo, c'est pour ça que j'ai fait un post.

Sorry if that's unclear :
There is a general trend toward reducing cross-shareholdings in Japan (companies owning shares in each other).
Nintendo is offering to purchase some to satisfy shareholders and limit the pressure on their stocks.
The goal is to minimize the impact.

Should be noted that these shareholders are not selling much of their Nintendo stock (in % of total shares)
• Nomura Trust is going from 3.6% to 2.2% (-1.4 pt)
• Bank of Kyoto from 4.2% to 3.3% (-0.9 pt)
• Only DeNa is selling a sizable amount from 0.75% to 0.25% (-0.5 pt)

• At the actual price, the secondary offering is approx. ¥295b worth of shares ($1.9b) or 2.8% of shares.
• While the shares from the buy back can't exceed ¥100b ($640m)
TLDR : Legacy shareholders are selling and Nintendo is stepping in with a buyback + cancellation

The following shareholders are selling:
- Nomura Trust - 16.15m shares
- Bank of Kyoto - 10m shares
- DeNa Co - 6m shares
- Resona Bank - 0.5m shares
• Price to be dermined between Mar 9 - 12
• Nintendo reserves the right to repurchase some of these shares between Mar 4 - Mar 5

Nintendo announces major share offering & buyback
• A secondary offering of 32.7 million shares (a few big shareholders are selling)
• A share buyback of up to 14 million shares (or ¥100b at most to be purchased by Nintendo)
• All shares bought by Nintendo will be cancelled
