Mizuho, Japan’s third-largest bank by market value, lost 4.6 percent after people familiar with the matter said it may start selling shares as early as this week..

The Citi corp is planning further dilute its share holdings. Most of the large corporations in US, Europe and Japan may sell shres in large chunks to cover their losses.
