Mitsubishi Electric to retain PCI’s core management team and support continuity of operations, customer service, and product innovation

PCI Energy Solutions ("PCI"), a leading U.S.-based provider of enterprise software for energy management and optimization, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. The agreement was executed on August 20, 2026 (Japan Standard Time).

The Transaction represents a strong endorsement of PCI's business, technology, employees, customer relationships and position in the energy industry. Mitsubishi Electric intends to retain PCI's core management team following completion of the Transaction, enabling PCI to preserve leadership continuity, industry expertise and its customer-focused operating model while benefiting from Mitsubishi Electric's global scale, complementary capabilities and long-term investment capacity.

The agreement has been signed, but the Transaction has not yet closed. PCI and Mitsubishi Electric will continue to operate as separate companies until closing, which is subject to applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions. The announcement does not create any immediate change to PCI's day-to-day operations, customer support channels, account relationships, active projects, product access, or existing service commitments.

"This transaction is a powerful validation of the company our employees have built and the trust our customers and partners placed in us for more than 30 years. 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. Lee,

Founder & CEO

PCI develops and provides enterprise software supporting power trading, generation operations, transmission and distribution workflows, supply-demand planning, risk management, settlement and energy-asset optimization. Its platforms help utilities, generators and other energy-market participants manage increasingly complex operational and commercial requirements.

Mitsubishi Electric identified Smart Energy as a key focus area in its New Medium-term Corporate Strategy announced on May 29, 2026. 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 Systems

Continuity for customers and partners

PCI 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 employees

PCI'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.

Transaction timing

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.

Study: Heatwaves Increase Cough Urge, Which Salt Aerosols Reduce15.9.2026 15:15:00 CEST | Press release

New Study Indicates Non-Pharmacological Aerosol May Provide Therapeutic Relief for Respiratory Conditions Provoked by the Atmospheric Aridity Inherent to Heatwaves SC Therapeutics, with University North Carolina, Imperial College London, and Boston University, announced publication on Tuesday in Nature Scientific Reports of results from a multi-institutional study indicating that the aridity inherent in heatwaves increases cough hypersensitivity in human airways by collapsing mucus onto cilia in a manner common to chronic respiratory diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, and asthma. The researchers find that alkaline aerosols of magnesium salts reverse mucosal collapse for several hours, and reduce cough hypersensitivity as reflected in placebo-adjusted suppression of daily cough bout rate (59%, p=0.03) and persistence of suppression post treatment for 1 to 3 weeks in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 10 refractory chronic cough patients. “Paris recorded 5,764 excess
