For Immediate Release
To Whom It May Concern
Mitsui & Co., Ltd. announces change to external director candidate
On January 31, 2006, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”) announced the proposed appointment of Mr. Gregory Clark as an external director. Subsequently, however, Mr. Clark has informed the Company that due to an increase in overseas commitments his schedule is such that it would interfere with his ability to attend meetings and carry out other duties as an external director at Mitsui. Mitsui regrets to announce that Mr. Clark has therefore had to decline the candidacy at this stage.
