What is a US investment company aiming for TOB acquisition of Akashi Foods' All Stocks?

As a matter of fuss in the second section of the TSE since today's morning, the US investment fund, Steel Partners Japan Strategic Fund has started to tender offer for Akashi food. It is so-called TOB. It is already the largest shareholder.

Meisei Foods side has already announced "I can not approve". It seems that we started examining countermeasures.

So, what kind of company is this investment fund called "Steel Partners Japan Strategic Fund" this time? I examined it immediately.
First of all, it was in 2004 that the name of this company became widely known.

As mentioned in the above article, we have tried to acquire 100% of outstanding shares as well as this time. I have failed in this case, but what will happen this time?

In addition, there are names in this place before this, in 2001.
