What is Tender Offer Arbitrage Scanner?
The Tender Offer Arbitrage Scanner is a professional-grade analytical tool designed to uncover and evaluate active tender offers in the equity markets. By leveraging specialized search strategies, it identifies corporate actions where companies or third parties offer to buy back shares at a premium. This tool is a powerful addition to the ecosystem of Openclaw Skills, enabling investors to systematically find low-risk profit scenarios, particularly those involving odd-lot priority.
The skill goes beyond simple price alerts by performing deep-dive verification into SEC EDGAR filings like SC TO-I and SC TO-T. It synthesizes complex legal terms, proration rules, and Dutch auction price ranges into actionable investment reports. By automating the data collection and risk assessment phases, it allows users to focus on execution and portfolio management rather than manual filing searches.
Tender Offer Arbitrage Scanner Use Cases
- Detecting new issuer buybacks with confirmed odd-lot priority to guarantee 100% acceptance rates for small positions.
- Calculating potential returns for Dutch auction tender offers across minimum, median, and maximum price ranges.
- Monitoring SEC filings in real-time to identify third-party acquisition bids before they are widely reported.
- Evaluating the risk of proration in partial tender offers to determine if a trade is viable for larger capital allocations.
How Tender Offer Arbitrage Scanner Works
- Opportunity Discovery: The skill executes targeted searches across SEC EDGAR, InsideArbitrage, and Seeking Alpha to find active tender offers.
- Official Filing Verification: It automatically retrieves and parses SEC documents to confirm fixed prices, expiration dates, and specific clauses like the fewer than 100 shares priority.
- Financial Modeling: Using live market data, the skill calculates the absolute price spread, percentage spread, and annualized yield for each identified ticker.
- Risk Stratification: It identifies red flags such as negative spreads or unmet regulatory conditions and marks green flags like board recommendations.
- Priority Ranking: The skill ranks opportunities based on certainty of profit, prioritizing fixed-price offers with odd-lot advantages.
- Report Generation: A comprehensive Markdown report is saved locally, detailing the top recommendations and execution steps.
Tender Offer Arbitrage Scanner Setup
To deploy this skill within your environment, ensure your agent has access to web search tools and the ability to read external financial documentation. No specialized API keys are strictly required for the basic search, though access to a financial data provider improves pricing accuracy.
# Navigate to your agent skill directory
cd skills/tender-offer-arbitrage
# Ensure the agent has permission to save results
mkdir -p results
Tender Offer Arbitrage Scanner Data Schema & Taxonomy

| Expiration | The final date for shareholders to tender their shares |
| Yield Forecast | Calculated profit for an odd-lot position (99 shares) |
