Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ("Mitsui", Head Office: Tokyo, President & CEO: Tatsuo Yasunaga) announced that Mitsui has deconsolidated Sims Metal Management ("Sims"), a metals and electronics recycler, from an equity accounted investee. The background of the deconsolidation is that Mitsui has lost a portion of its directors nomination right to the board of Sims due to amendments to Sims' constitution which have passed at Sims' general meeting held today.
As a result of the deconsolidation, a profit of about ¥21 billion is expected to be recorded in Mitsui's full year consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2017. A part of this profit was included in Mitsui's latest forecast announced on November 2nd, 2016.
