USスチール買収ばいしゅう計画けいかく トランプ氏し “米べい政府せいふが「黄金おうごん株かぶ」取得しゅとく”

Regarding Nippon Steels plan to acquire US Steel, President Trump stated, We will have a golden share, managed by the President, indicating that the US government would obtain a special type of stock called a golden share, which allows the exercise of veto power over important management decisions at US Steel.

It will be interesting to see what form the final decision will take.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States CFIUS has completed its review of Nippon Steels planned acquisition of US Steel and reported its findings to President Trump.

The court procedure deadline is the 13th, and the contract deadline between the two companies is the 18th, so a decision is expected to be made soon.

Regarding this plan, President Trump stated at the White House on the 12th, We will have a golden share, managed by the President, expressing the view that the U.S. government will acquire a special type of stock known as a golden share, which allows the exercise of veto power over important management matters such as the appointment and dismissal of US Steel directors.

He also stated that Americans will hold 51% ownership.

It appears to indicate that the American side intends to have control over the management.

President Trump emphasized in a speech in eastern Pennsylvania on May 30 that Nippon Steel will invest $14 billion in US Steel in the future.

Regarding this, on the 12th, it was said that there is a wonderful company coming from Japan.

He said, We plan to invest $17 billion.

It is believed to refer to the amount invested by Nippon Steel, but the reason for the increase in the amount is not known in detail.

Nippon Steel has consistently aimed to achieve the acquisition through making it a wholly owned subsidiary from the very beginning.

It will be interesting to see how President Trump ultimately decides on the acquisition plan.
