    TNMG is up 9.4% to $4.54 in pre-market trading on news that it agreed to sell its Japanese business in a $5.5 million CEO-led management buyout. The transaction is a concrete corporate event with disclosed consideration, and the relatively modest move is proportionate to the announced deal.

    WHYA 9.4% move is modest relative to a $5.5 million management buyout, though the deal is not necessarily a full-company acquisition.
