Due to dilution of existing shares, other Mitsubishi group companies (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Corp., and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ) had their combined holdings in Mitsubishi Motors fall to about 20% from 34% previously.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/nissan-to-take-34-stake-in-mitsubishi-motors-1463038142 | title=Nissan to Take $2.2 Billion Stake in Scandal-Hit Mitsubishi Motors | newspaper=Wall Street Journal | date=12 May 2016 | access-date=18 May 2016}}</ref>
