# Elliott Calls on Mitsui O.S.K. to Tackle Undervaluation More Ambitiously

By Kosaku Narioka

Elliott Investment Management called on Mitsui O.S.K. Lines to confront the factors behind its undervaluation more ambitiously, after the Japanese shipper announced its medium-term management plan.

The U.S. activist investor said Wednesday that it remained concerned that the shipper's latest plan didn't go far enough in addressing the large unrealized gains from vessels and real estate on the company's balance sheet.

Elliott said the initiatives outlined in the management plan are positive steps toward improving shareholder returns and that it is committed to working constructively with the company to achieve a higher valuation.

The activist investor said in March that it had built a significant stake in Mitsui O.S.K., saying the company is materially undervalued despite its strength in shipping and its standing as a major owner of oceangoing vessels.
