FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
MITSUI & CO., LTD. APPLIES FOR THE DE-LISTING OF ITS SHARES FROM THE LUXEMBOURG
STOCK EXCHANGE
Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (Mitsui) decided today at a meeting of its Board of Directors
to apply to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the de-listing of its shares from
the exchange.
1. The reason for de-listing
The trading volume of Mitsui's shares in the form of European Depositary Receipt
on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange has been extremely low. Therefore it is no
longer justifiable for Mitsui to bear the costs for maintaining the listing.
Mitsui believes that the de-listing would have no significant adverse effect on
the shareholders and investors as the shares will continue to be listed on the
most liquid stock market in Japan, the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
2. De-listing schedule
The application for the de-listing from the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will be
made by the end of May 2005, and the de-listing is expected to be completed,
subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the exchange concerned, by
August 2005.
