According to a report by Bloomberg, activist investor Elliott Investment Management holds nearly 5% of Toyota Industries Corporation (6201.JP) and has pointed out to the Toyota Group that the proposed privatization price of 16,300 yen per share is too low, requesting alternative options. Toyota Industries disclosed that as of the end of September, Elliott held a 3.26% stake in the company, making it one of the largest shareholders.
