Toshiba's policy of splitting the company into two to increase the value of the company was rejected at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on the 24th.
The gap between the company and the shareholders who disagree with the bill is deepening, and it is unclear whether the strategy to be summarized next will be understood.
On the 24th, Toshiba submitted a bill to an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to confirm the intentions of shareholders regarding the policy of splitting the company that was launched to increase corporate value into two, but it received the support of the majority. It was rejected.
Although it is not clear how much support has remained, Toshiba said after the general meeting of shareholders, "Based on the opinions presented this time, we will strive to build a relationship of trust with shareholders and take all strategies to improve corporate value. We will continue to consider alternative options. "
Toshiba announced a policy to split the company into three in November last year, and revised it to split into two in three months.
However, this time, it was rejected due to the opposition of shareholders who said things, and the gap between the two companies has deepened further.
Toshiba is expected to review its strategy in the future, and some shareholders have commented that the company should consider becoming an "unlisted company" by repurchasing shares on the market.
However, it is unclear whether the strategy to be summarized next will end the management turmoil with the understanding of shareholders and other stakeholders.
