Notice Regarding the Transfer of MC Food Specialties Inc. Stocks to

Mitsubishi Corporation Life Science Limited by Corporate Divestiture

Mitsubishi Corporation ("MC") (TSE 8058; LSE MBC) hereby announces its decision to transfer stocks held in MC Food Specialties Inc. ("MCFS") to wholly-owned subsidiary Mitsubishi Corporation Life Science Limited ("MCLS") by means of an absorption-type company split, with effect from April 1, 2015.

Some details have been omitted from this notice as it covers a "simplified absorption-type company split" involving MC and its 100% consolidated subsidiary.

   1.   Purpose of company split 

MCLS already has two subsidiaries, Mitsubishi Shoji Foodtech Co., Ltd. and Kohjin Life Science Co., Ltd., both of which are engaged in the food science business. Bringing MCFS under MCLS will therefore allow MC to reinforce its management infrastructure for the food science business field.

This will be an absorption-type split in which MC will be the split company and MCLS will be the successor company.
