MT Newswires Live05-28

Mitsubishi Materials (TYO:5711) has entered a final agreement to integrate its business related to the purchase of copper concentrates and the sale of related products into Pan Pacific Copper (PPC), a joint venture among JX Advanced Metals (TYO:5016), Mitsui Kinzoku (TYO:5706) and Marubeni (TYO:8002).

The integration will be implemented through a two-step absorption-type company split, under which PPC will establish a new wholly owned subsidiary to receive the business, with the transaction scheduled to take effect on Oct. 1, subject to regulatory approvals.

Following the integration, Mitsubishi Materials will hold a 32% stake in PPC, and PPC will become an equity-method affiliate of the company, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Thursday.

The company's board of directors resolved to proceed with the integration on May 28, 2026, following a basic agreement announced in November 2025.
