Toshiba, which continues to face management turmoil, announced on the 30th that it had received proposals from multiple investment funds for reorganization measures that had been solicited outside.
In the future, the plan is to enter into concrete discussions over the next several months, and attention will be paid to how it goes.
Toshiba is proceeding with an unusual procedure to solicit reorganization measures, including delisting of shares, from the outside in order to resolve the current management turmoil, such as having conflicts with so-called "shareholders who speak".
Regarding this, Toshiba announced on the 30th that it had received proposals as partner candidates from multiple investment funds.
Among them, the company said that "the degree of completion varies" and will start evaluating each proposal and will hold specific discussions over the next few months.
According to those involved, the public-private fund Innovation Investment Corporation of Japan, the domestic investment fund Japan Industrial Partners, and overseas investment funds have submitted.
On the other hand, among investment funds, consideration and discussions are underway regarding partners to form camps and investments from other companies, etc., and it is expected that there will be some twists and turns in the future toward the final proposal.
Furthermore, if the company becomes an unlisted company, it will require a huge amount of funds on the scale of several trillion yen, and because it has businesses related to security such as nuclear power plants and defense, acquisitions by overseas funds are subject to government regulations. There is a possibility, and attention will be paid to how the talks progress toward the realization of Toshiba's restructuring.
