Ryoden Details Mitsubishi Electric Ties, Stresses Operational Independence

The latest announcement is out from Ryoden ( (JP:8084) ).

Ryoden Corporation has clarified its relationship with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, which holds 36.08% of its voting rights and acts as both a major supplier and key customer, accounting for 17.7% of Ryoden Group’s purchase costs and 7.0% of its sales revenue. Despite this significant dependence, Ryoden emphasizes that it maintains managerial independence through clear role separation between manufacturer and agency, an external director from Mitsubishi Electric serving in an independent oversight capacity, and transaction terms set through negotiations based on market conditions.

The company detailed its main transactions with Mitsubishi Electric, including the purchase of products, the sale of components, and the receipt of rebates, with all pricing determined using standard market-based methods and individual negotiations. Ryoden also reported a negotiated sale of all its shares in Mitsubishi Electric Insurance Service Corporation, with the price set using both book value net asset and discounted cash flow methods, underscoring its effort to demonstrate fair dealing and transparency in related-party transactions to shareholders and other stakeholders.
