Japan Investment Corp (JIC) plans to sell JSR, a key maker of semiconductor production materials, to Mitsui Chemicals in a deal that could exceed ¥1.3 trillion ($8.2 billion), according to reports. The transaction would rank among Japan's largest corporate mergers in the chip sector and marks a notable exit for the state-backed fund, which took JSR private in 2023. A final decision is expected within November. The deal underscores consolidation in Japan's semiconductor materials industry as the government seeks to strengthen the domestic chip supply chain. Investors will watch for formal confirmation of the terms and any regulatory review of the combination.
