EQT said it will launch a tender offer to take Japanese classifieds and marketplace platform Kakaku.com private, valuing the company at 593.51 billion yen ($3.76 billion). The proposed transaction is a significant take-private deal and is modestly positive for deal activity and Kakaku.com shareholders. Market impact is likely limited to the stock and relevant Japanese M&A names rather than the broader market.
