The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The 5-business-day price change period stipulated in the tender agreement ended because, in light of Kamgras 1's increase in its tender offer price, no proposal was made to Oasis to change the tender offer price. Regarding the clearances required to conduct the tender offer, progress was made through the prior notification filed with the Japan Fair Trade Commission, the acquisition of an exemption decision in Australia, and the prior notification filed in Germany, among other matters.
