TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's Panasonic Holdings said on Friday it will sell its entire stake in Panasonic Automotive Systems (PAS) to funds managed by U.S. private equity firm Apollo Global Management.

The transaction has a total enterprise value of 311 billion yen ($2.06 billion), subject to adjustments at closing, which is expected by the end of the first quarter of 2025, Apollo said in a statement.
