	Steel Partners in bid to buy Japan noodle maker - Boston.com
		Myojo executives said they were examining Steel Partners' offer but had not decided whether to endorse it.
		Steel Partners said it is happy with the performance of Myojo's managers and hopes to keep them in place after buying the firm, though mending relations if they oppose the tender could be difficult.
		Myojo, which is Japan's fourth-ranked maker of instant ramen noodles, estimates a group recurring profit of 1.76 billion yen for the 12 months ended September 30, up from 1.24 billion yen the previous year.

		As a major long-term shareholder of Myojo, SPJSF has engaged in meaningful dialogues with management and plans to continue to make suggestions and recommendations to Myojo's management and board of directors that are in the best interests of all Myojo shareholders.
		Myojo's management, however, should not wrongfully assume or interpret this to mean that SPJSF intends to leverage its large shareholding to coerce or manipulate management and corporate policies.
		Myojo wants you to believe that the lack of experience of SPJSF and SPV II is relevant to your decision as a stockholder of whether or not to tender your shares in the offer.
