TOKYO -- Nippon Steel said Tuesday that it will sell all of its shares in South Korean steel group POSCO Holdings to "improve capital efficiency" as it divests from a stockholding relationship dating back a quarter century.
The announcement, which came in a news release and a filing to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, did not elaborate on what improvements are expected. But the plan comes as Nippon Steel is pursuing a high stakes acquisition of U.S. Steel.
