M&E Co. was established through organizational restructuring in April 2020, advancing profitability reforms in the Materials and Engineering business segments and establishing a stable black-ink earnings structure. Through this merger, the Company aims to achieve sustainable business growth, strengthen the production system for defense-related equipment, and accelerate technological development of gallium nitride crystals. Furthermore, corporate governance will be enhanced.\n\n### Overview of the Merger and Future Outlook\nThis merger will be an absorption merger with the Company as the surviving entity and M&E Co. as the dissolved entity, conducted as a simplified merger not requiring shareholder meeting approval. Since M&E Co. is a 100% subsidiary of the Company, no share allotment or compensation will be provided. Post-merger, there will be no changes to the Company's name, location, representative, capital, or fiscal year-end. The impact on consolidated financial results is expected to be minimal.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales (Consolidated): 248,556 million yen (Unknown)\nOperating Income (Consolidated): 22,824 million yen (Unknown)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (Consolidated): 17,961 million yen (Unknown)\nNet Sales (M&E Co. standalone): 51,315 million yen (Unknown)\nOperating Income (M&E Co. standalone): 6,206 million yen (Unknown)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (M&E Co. standalone): 5,238 million yen (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#JapanSteelWorksLtd, #CorporateRestructuring, #AbsorptionMerger, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Merger Effective Date: Scheduled for April 1, 2026\nConsolidated Net Sales (Fiscal Year ending March 2025): 248,556 million yen\nM&E Co.
