Notice Regarding Company Split (Simplified Absorption-Type Split) of Part of the Chemicals Business to a Consolidated Subsidiary

Overview of Company Split

Marubeni Corporation resolved to transfer part of the Chemicals Division II business within the Energy & Chemicals segment to its consolidated subsidiary Marubeni Chemix Corporation by a simplified absorption-type company split, effective April 1, 2026. On the same date, Marubeni Chemix will absorb Marubeni Plax Corporation through a merger and change its trade name to Marubeni Innovexis Corporation. This split consolidates trading businesses such as solar salt, chlor-alkali, vinyl chloride, and inorganic chemicals to expand business domains, strengthen functions, promote DX, and aim to reinforce the medium- to long-term earnings base.

Impact on Shareholders and Financial Outlook

This company split is a simplified absorption-type split between consolidated subsidiaries; therefore, there will be no change to Marubeni Corporation’s capital stock, name, location, or representative. As split consideration, Marubeni Chemix is scheduled to issue 1,000,000 common shares to Marubeni Corporation. The revenue of the split business is 86,811 million JPY (fiscal year ending March 2025), and no issues are anticipated regarding the fulfillment of obligations post-split. The impact of this company split on Marubeni Corporation’s consolidated earnings is expected to be minimal.
