HOUSTON, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitsubishi Logisnext Co., Ltd. (ML) announced its support today for a Tender Offer for the company's common stock by Japan Industrial Partners (JIP). Additionally, in connection with the Tender Offer, JIP has entered into a Master Agreement with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) related to the proposed purchase of ML shares owned by MHI and additional MHI reinvestment.
