Japan Post Holdings Placement

The Japanese government plans to sell over 27% or US$8bn worth of Japan Post Holdings Co Ltd (6178 JP). The selldown was originally slated for 2019 but was called off due to negative press for Japan Post Insurance. Thus, this deal has been over two years in the making and comes nearly four years after the previous selldown.

We covered the IPO and previous selldown in our prior notes, links to which are below.
