Yokozuna Grand Champion Harumafuji has admitted to assaulting lower-ranked Takanoiwa in a lounge bar.

A Mongolian newspaper, the Daily News, reported that when an advisory body to the Japan Sumo Association met on Monday, many members called for Harumafuji to be severely punished. The paper said both wrestlers would face tough measures.

The News MN website reported that the advisory body may urge Harumafuji to retire or suspend him from tournaments for a long time.

A man in Mongolia's capital, Ulaanbaatar, said Harumafuji beat Takanoiwa because the lower-ranked wrestler did not respect his senior.

Another man said he wants the yokozuna to continue his sumo career in Japan, and he hopes that a positive solution can be found to settle the case.

The investment, which was approved by the Uber board in October, would also trigger a string of governance changes at Uber that would limit some early shareholders’ voting power, expand the board from 11 to 17 directors and cut the influence of former Chief Executive Travis Kalanick.

The investment and board moves are supported by new Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi and come at the end of a year of scandals and change for Uber, including the announcement last week that executives covered up a major hack in 2016.

The consortium of investors led by SoftBank and Dragoneer Investment Group plan to take a stake of at least 14 percent in the ride-services company. The tender offer will launch on Tuesday, sources told Reuters, and investors have nearly a month to respond.

The SoftBank-led investor group will acquire two of the new board seats, with the remaining four going to independent directors.

Nearly all secondary transactions, when a new investor purchases from existing shareholders, come at a discount to the company’s valuation.

However, the 30 percent discount is steep given Uber’s plan to launch an initial public offering in 2019, said Phil Haslett, co-founder and head of investments at secondary marketplace EquityZen. Usually valuation cuts of this size happen when a company is at risk of being sold at a heavy discount, which Uber is not.

“It really comes down to a re-pricing of Uber’s value,” Haslett said.

Since it was valued at $68.5 billion more than a year ago, the company has been hit by scandals, including accusations of sexual harassment. It has also weathered federal criminal probes into software Uber used to deceive regulators and allegations of paying bribes to authorities in Asia, and a lawsuit by Alphabet Inc’s self-driving unit Waymo, accusing Uber of stealing trade secrets.

Most recently, Uber revealed that the data of 57 million Uber customers and 600,000 drivers had been stolen in a breach more than a year ago, and that the company had paid two hackers $100,000 to cover it up. Since then, governments across the globe have launched investigations into the incident. The scandal raised questions about whether SoftBank would try to renegotiate the deal for better terms.

But Uber said on Friday it had informed SoftBank about the data breach prior to informing the public. However, “our information at the time was preliminary and incomplete,” a spokesman said.

A person familiar with the matter said SoftBank would have already factored any negative impact from the breach into its negotiations with Uber.

Bloomberg reported the offer price earlier on Monday.

The profit of the country's three big banks has increased by 64 percent, the three medium sized banks by 67 percent; however, other small sized banks’ earnings have decreased by 26 percent. The savings of the thirteen commercial banks was MNT 15.2 trillion.

Although the legal framework for dual-listing was established in 2013, companies operating in Mongolia but listed on foreign stock exchanges were not able to list their shares on the MSE due to the absence of a dual-listing regulation.

Therefore, the MSE and the Financial Regulatory Commission (FRC) formed a working group to develop the “Provisional Regulation on Registering the Shares of Foreign-Listed Companies and the Shares of Domestic Listed Companies Dual-listing Overseas”, which was approved by the FRC Meeting on November 24, 2017.

Companies looking for a secondary listing are usually incorporated overseas and have their primary listing on their home exchange. Due to the fact that they follow their home laws and regulations, the secondary exchange normally provides initial and ongoing exemptions as per common international practice. Therefore, the highlight of this regulation is the enabling of the foreign-listed issuers that are being dual-listed in Mongolia to follow the laws and rules of their home exchange and for their reporting purposes, professional opinion such as those by international audit and legal firms are to be equally accepted as if they are provided by domestic professional companies. 

Accordingly, the most important requirement for foreign-listed companies looking to be dual-listed on the MSE is to have their primary listing on one of the 26 stock exchanges approved by the FRC. Given the company satisfies this requirement, the remaining procedures are designed to be simple and straightforward.

The approval of this regulation is a significant development milestone for Mongolian capital markets in that it will enable approximately 30 foreign-listed mining companies operating in Mongolia to be listed on the MSE, giving the Mongolian public the opportunity to share the rewards and risks of their businesses.
