ZakZak released an article about the current situation of the Square and Enix merger. Not much has changed, except the fact that Mr. Miyamoto (Square's largest shareholder) is more pleased with the current ratio of 0.85 : 1. That is, 1 share of Square for 0.85 shares of Enix.
The article revealed that Mr. Miyamoto is currently living in North America and contact with him has been slightly difficult. Also, the gaming industry is worried that this merger will turn out like the one of Sega and Bandai in 1997 which never worked out.
The merger ratio is still not confirmed and Nomura Securities Co., Ltd.. are trying their best to come up with the best ratio for both companies.
