The Tender Offer will commence on July 29, 2025 and will run until September 9, 2025. The Offeror will commence the Tender Offer to acquire all outstanding common shares and share acquisition rights (excluding treasury shares held by Topcon) with a tender offer price of JPY 3,300 per common share and JPY 193,400 per 7th Series Share Acquisition Right.1 Topcon is a global leader in the manufacturing of technology, leveraging its strengths in optical technology and precision measurement technology since its founding. Topcon is expanding its business globally with its unique DX solutions that combine advanced technologies such as IoT platforms and AI. Topcon is pursuing its long-term vision leading up to its 100th anniversary in 2032, and the Company has been implementing its "Mid-Term Management Plan 2025" covering the fiscal years 2023–2025. Under this plan, Topcon has pursued sustainable business growth and improved profitability by deepening its orientation towards customers, and as the next step, the Company aims to evolve into "New Topcon 2.0," a business structure that will further accelerate the competitiveness of the Topcon Group. KKR is making this investment predominantly from its Asian Fund IV. Topcon President and CEO, Takashi Eto, has agreed to tender his shares into the Tender Offer. Following the completion of the Tender Offer, Mr. Eto and funds managed by JIC Capital, Ltd. will invest in KKR-managed investment vehicles that will own Topcon. This series of transactions, including the Tender Offer, constitutes a management buyout. Additionally, funds managed by ValueAct Capital, a major shareholder of Topcon, have also agreed to tender shares in the Tender Offer and invest in KKR-managed investment vehicles that will own Topcon. For more details regarding the announcement, please refer to the full text of the release issued by the Offeror today titled, "Notice Regarding the Commencement of Tender Offer for the Shares of Topcon Corporation (Securities Code: 7732) by TK Co., Ltd. as part of MBO Implementation." Forward-looking Statements This press release should be read in conjunction with the release issued by the Offeror today titled "Notice Regarding the Commencement of Tender Offer for the Shares of Topcon Corporation (Securities Code: 7732) by TK Co., Ltd. as part of MBO Implementation." The purpose of this press release is to publicly announce the Tender Offer and it has not been prepared for the purpose of soliciting an offer to sell or purchase in the Tender Offer. When making an application to tender, please be sure to read the Tender Offer Explanatory Statement for the Tender Offer and make your own decision as a shareholder or share acquisition right holder. This press release does not constitute, either in whole or in part, a solicitation of an offer to sell or purchase any securities, and the existence of this press release (or any part thereof) or its distribution shall not be construed as a basis for any agreement regarding the Tender Offer, nor shall it be relied upon in concluding an agreement regarding the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer will be conducted in compliance with the procedures and information disclosure standards set forth in Japanese law, and those procedures and standards are not always the same as the procedures and information disclosure standards in the U.S. In particular, neither Sections 13(e) or 14(d) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended; the same shall apply hereinafter) or the rules under these sections apply to the Tender Offer; and therefore the Tender Offer is not conducted in accordance with those procedures and standards.

It also may be impossible to initiate an action against a corporation that is based outside of the U.S. or its officers in a court outside of the U.S. on the grounds of a violation of U.S. securities-related laws. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a corporation that is based outside of the U.S. or its affiliates may be compelled to submit themselves to the jurisdiction of a U.S. court. Unless otherwise specified, all procedures relating to the Tender Offer are to be conducted entirely in Japanese. All or a part of the documentation relating to the Tender Offer will be prepared in English; however, if there is any discrepancy between the English-language documents and the Japanese-language documents, the Japanese-language documents shall prevail. This press release includes statements that fall under "forward-looking statements" as defined in Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Due to known or unknown risks, uncertainties or other factors, actual results may differ materially from the predictions indicated by the statements that are implicitly or explicitly forward-looking statements. Neither the Offeror nor any of its affiliates guarantee that the predictions indicated by the statements that are implicitly or expressly forward-looking statements will materialize. The forward-looking statements in this press release were prepared based on information held by the Offeror as of today, and the Offeror and its affiliates shall not be obliged to amend or revise such statements to reflect future events or circumstances, except as required by laws and regulations. The Offeror, the financial advisors of the Offeror and the Company, and the tender offer agent (and their respective affiliates) may purchase the common shares and share acquisition rights, etc. of the Company, by means other than the Tender Offer, or conduct an act aimed at such purchases, for their own account or for their client's accounts, including in the scope of their ordinary business, to the extent permitted under financial instrument exchange-related laws and regulations, and any other applicable laws and regulations in Japan, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5(b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the Tender Offer period. Such purchases may be conducted at the market price through market transactions or at a price determined by negotiations off-market. In the event that information regarding such purchases is disclosed in Japan, such information will also be disclosed on the English website of the person conducting such purchases (or by any other method of public disclosure). If a shareholder exercises its right to demand the purchase of shares of less than one unit in accordance with the Companies Act, the Company may buy back its own shares during the Tender Offer period in accordance with the procedures required by laws and regulations.

How Will Prudential Financial Stock React To Its Upcoming Earnings?
POLAND - 2024/12/30: In this photo illustration, the Prudential plc company logo is seen displayed ... More on a smartphone screen. (Photo Illustration by Piotr Swat/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Prudential Financial (NYSE:PRU) is anticipated to announce its earnings on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. According to consensus estimates, revenues for the quarter are expected to be around $13.4 billion, indicating a 3% decline year-over-year, while earnings are projected to be approximately $3.23 per share, showing a slight decrease compared to last year. The U.S. insurance operations of the company will continue to be a significant contributor to earnings for this quarter. In Q1, the business experienced improved underwriting and reduced expenses, although certain areas faced weaker investment and fee-related income. The global investment management division of the company is likely to perform well this quarter as assets under management are expected to increase due to equity market appreciation, net inflows, and enhanced investment performance. The U.S. stock markets surged to record highs in late June, with the S&P 500 rising nearly 11% over Q2 2025 amid indications that the trade conflict between the U.S. and its key trading partners is easing. The current market capitalization for the company is $37 billion. Revenue for the past twelve months was $61 billion, while net income stood at $2.3 billion. Although much depends on how the results compare to consensus and expectations, recognizing historical trends could skew the odds in your favor if you are a trader influenced by events. There are two approaches to achieve this: either understand the historical odds and position yourself ahead of the earnings announcement or examine the correlation between immediate and medium-term returns following earnings and position yourself accordingly after the earnings are revealed. That said, if you're looking for upside with less volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative, having surpassed the S&P 500 and delivered returns exceeding 91% since its inception. View the earnings reaction history of all stocks Historical Odds of Positive Post-Earnings Return for Prudential Financial Here are some insights regarding one-day (1D) post-earnings returns: Additional information on observed 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns post earnings is summarized along with statistics in the table below. PRU 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return Correlation Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns A relatively less risky tactic (though not effective if the correlation is weak) is to understand the relationship between short-term and medium-term returns after earnings, identify a pair with the strongest correlation, and execute the corresponding trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D exhibit the highest correlation, a trader can take a "long" position for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Here is some correlation data based on 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D refers to the relationship between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns. PRU Correlation Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns Is There Any Correlation With Peer Earnings? At times, the performance of peers can impact the post-earnings stock reaction. In fact, the price adjustment might commence before the earnings are disclosed. Here is some historical data regarding the recent post-earnings performance of Prudential Financial stock in comparison to the stock performance of peers that reported earnings just prior to Prudential Financial. For a fair comparison, peer stock returns also reflect post-earnings one-day (1D) returns. PRU Correlation With Peer Earnings Learn more about Trefis RV strategy that has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (which combines the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000) to yield strong returns for investors. Additionally, if you're looking for growth with a smoother experience than an individual stock like Prudential Financial, you might consider the High Quality portfolio, which has outperformed the S&P and delivered over 91% in returns since its inception.

Rupee slips but sidesteps firmer dollar as flows dominate price-action
By Jaspreet Kalra MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Indian rupee dipped on Monday as month-end dollar bids from importers exerted some pressure, but the currency largely sidestepped the spillover from a firmer dollar, which traders indicated was due to the absence of substantial outflows. The rupee closed at 86.6650 against the U.S. dollar, 0.2% down from its close of 86.5150 in the previous session. While the rupee was trading marginally stronger in the first half of the session, it reversed course in the latter half as the dollar index rose. Asian currencies were a tad lower on the day, with the offshore Chinese yuan down by 0.1%. The rupee is "only reacting to flows" over recent sessions, and has found some support above 86.60, a trader at a state-run bank said, pointing to price action driven by foreign portfolio flows and corporate activity. India's benchmark equity indexes, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 fell 0.7% and 0.63% on the day, respectively, diverging from gains in most regional equities. The country's benchmark 10-year bond yield, meanwhile, ticked up to 6.3603%. Equities in Europe were mostly higher while the euro fell, after the U.S. and EU reached a trade agreement over the weekend and investors welcomed the deal with cautious optimism. The euro's recent price action "likely reflects more general U.S. dollar sentiment that was improving toward the end of last week, and we suspect (the sentiment) could extend further this week as investors' optimism over the U.S. economy improves," MUFG said in a note. U.S. economic data, including the closely watched non-farm payrolls report, will be in focus as investors gauge how far the optimism extends. The Federal Reserve, meanwhile, will deliver its policy decision on Wednesday and is widely expected to keep rates unchanged. Interest rate futures are currently pricing in a little over 60% chance of a rate cut in September, per CME's FedWatch tool.
