			<description><![CDATA[Tokyo, December 15, 2011 -  Effective January 1, 2012 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) will establish a new "Engineering Headquarters" that will comprehensively handle all company EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) operations by integrating related activities currently being undertaken separately by various business headquarters within the company. The move has three aims: to further strengthen the company's accumulated EPC technology and knowhow through integration; to respond swiftly to business opportunities involving large-scale infrastructure projects, which are now increasing in the overseas markets; and to boost profits from EPC operations while also providing support for business expansion of core products. The new business unit is also planned to function as a headquarters overseeing the company's solutions business, including smart community-related matters.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tokyo, August 4, 2011 - As previously announced on March 30, 2011,  Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT / TSE: 6501, "Hitachi"), Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TSE: 6503, "Mitsubishi Electric") and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (TSE: 7011, "MHI") entered into a basic agreement calling for the three companies to consolidate their hydroelectric power generation system operations by way of simplified absorption-type company splits of their respective operations and the transfer of those operations to HM Hydro, Ltd. ("HM Hydro"), a Hitachi subsidiary. Effective today, the three companies have formally decided to authorize their respective splits. Because the resulting declines in gross assets at the three companies correspond in each case to less than 10% of the company's net assets as of the close of the most recent fiscal year, and because the resulting declines in sales at each of the three companies are projected in each case to correspond to less than 3% of the company's net sales in the most recent fiscal year, some items and contents of disclosure have been omitted from this notification.]]></description>
