Mitsui & Co stock: Law firm probes Penske deal

Bleichmar Fonti & Auld said on November 11, 2026, that it is investigating the planned take-private merger of Penske Automotive Group by its controlling stockholders, including Mitsui & Co. The law firm said the transaction would acquire the publicly held shares for 212 US dollars per share in cash.

The announcement adds a fresh governance issue to Mitsui's planned investment in the automotive retailer. Bleichmar Fonti & Auld said it is examining whether the transaction complies with Delaware law and whether the offer provides fair value to public shareholders.

What the investigation covers

According to the law firm's Bleichmar Fonti & Auld announcement, Roger Penske and Mitsui together control 72.3 percent of Penske Automotive's voting power. The release also said Penske used a special committee to evaluate the merger and that the transaction remains subject to approval by public shareholders.

The law firm questioned whether the process protecting unaffiliated shareholders was effective. That is an investigation announcement, not a finding that the merger breached fiduciary duties. The transaction's outcome therefore remains tied to the shareholder vote and the legal and regulatory process.
