Nissan buying 34% of Mitsubishi Motors for $2.2 bn

Nissan stocks in Tokyo soared almost 5% on May 13, 2016, a day after the automaker said it will buy a one-third stake in scandal-hit Mitsubishi for $2.2 billion

Nissan threw a lifeline to Mitsubishi Motors on Thursday by confirming plans to buy a 34 percent stake in the scandal-hit automaker, with the deal valued at about $2.2 billion according to a regulatory filing.

The news comes after Mitsubishi was plunged into crisis following bombshell revelations it cheated on fuel-economy tests for years.
