Our customers rely on PCI for mission-critical operations, and continuity is at the center of how we will move forward. Mitsubishi Electric intends to retain our core management team and provide a long-term platform for PCI to continue growing and excelling. We will remain focused on delivering our commitments, advancing our product roadmap and supporting customers for the long term. With Mitsubishi Electric’s scale and complementary capabilities, we see an opportunity to invest more deeply, innovate faster and extend the value we provide across a rapidly changing energy industry.” – Dr. Fred N.

Through the proposed combination, Mitsubishi Electric expects to bring together PCI’s forecasting, scheduling, market management, and optimization capabilities with Mitsubishi Electric’s control technologies, system operations expertise, digital platforms, and global commercial reach.“PCI has built an exceptional business with trusted technology, deep market expertise, strong customer relationships, and an experienced management team. We intend to retain PCI’s core management team following closing and support the continuity that employees, customers, and partners value. Our objective is to build on PCI’s strengths while creating additional capacity for long-term innovation and global growth, as we further strengthen our smart energy area in response to customer needs shifting from equipment-level energy savings toward the optimization of total energy use through integrated demand-side management and market-based power trading.” -Soichi Hamamoto, Executive Officer (Associate) Group President, Energy & Industrial SystemsContinuity for customers and partnersPCI will continue to focus on providing best-in-class software solutions to our customers and partners, supported by reliable service, strong customer support, and successful product delivery and implementations. Customers and partners should continue working with their existing PCI contacts. PCI remains committed to delivering the same high level of service, expertise, and support our customers and partners expect from us.Mitsubishi Electric and PCI believe that preserving PCI’s management continuity and domain expertise will support stable decision-making and consistent customer engagement during the transition. Over time, and following closing and appropriate planning, the combined capabilities may enable broader energy-management, optimization, digital and control solutions, as well as expanded access to global markets.Continuity and opportunity for employeesPCI’s employees will continue to be led by the current management team during the pre-closing period. Mitsubishi Electric’s intention to retain PCI’s core management team following closing reflects the importance of PCI’s people, culture, market knowledge and operating capabilities to the strategic rationale for the Transaction. The signing of the agreement does not, by itself, change employee roles, reporting relationships, compensation or benefits.PCI’s leadership will communicate regularly with employees as the Transaction progresses and as plans are developed. The companies will continue to operate separately until closing, and integration planning and information sharing will be conducted through appropriate legal and governance processes.The Transaction is expected to close in 2026, subject to the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions. Upon completion, PCI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Electric.About PCI Energy SolutionsWe empower energy companies to continuously optimize all aspects of energy production, trading, transportation, and consumption.
