Pokka Singapore rose on trade resumption as investors pounce on Japanese parent Pokka Corp's bid to buy out rest of unit for $0.66/share, valuing beverage maker at $55.4 million. Deal likely to go through as it's attractive exit option considering stock's poor liquidity (daily average volume over past 12 months only 35,053 shares), small market cap, offer's hefty 36.1% premium over last closing price and 62.6% over average price of last 12 months. Increasingly tough business outlook due to rising competition, which parent cites as one reason for buyout, implies stock has few catalysts on horizon, making offer palatable. Parent currently owns 72.8% of Pokka Singapore.
