DC has been criticized for not swallowing MMC whole and gaining full control to force Mitsubishi to aggressively reduce its debt load to target levels of $9.4 billion (Yen1 trillion) by fiscal 2004. Under the agreement, the Mitsubishi Group, led by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Ltd., retains 34% share, as does DaimlerChrysler. It is enough to buy veto power under Japanese law without adding the debt to DaimlerChrysler's balance sheet. And the $2.1 billion purchase price (Yen225 billion) is easily covered by a sale announced the same day: Deutsche Telekom AG paid more than $5.3 billion for a 50.1% stake in DC's Debis Systemhaus GmbH. The company was sold for the specific purpose of raising money for future corporate takeovers. It is only money well spent if MMC sticks to its restructuring plan that calls for its labor force to be cut to 79,000 by fiscal 2004, from a 1997 peak of 91,300.
