Dai-ichi Life eyes Y100 bln loss on TEPCO shares: source


    TOKYO (Reuters) - Dai-ichi Life Insurance will book a 100 billion yen ($1.2 billion) special loss for the business year ended March 31 after its stake in Tokyo Electric Power plummeted in value, a source told Reuters.

    Dai-ichi Life, the utility's biggest shareholder with a 4 percent stake, has seen the value of its holding slump by four fifths as TEPCO struggles to bring its stricken Fukushima nuclear plant under control.
