During an extraordinary shareholder’s meeting on Tuesday, October 24, Toshiba won shareholder approval for its sale of Toshiba Memory to a US-South Korean consortium.
The consortium includes the state-backed Innovation Network of Japan, the state-owned Development Bank of Japan and chipmaker SK Hynix of South Korea.
Last month, Toshiba picked a group led by investment fund Bain Capital as its buyer for the world’s second-largest maker of NAND flash memory chips used in smartphones and PCs after a chaotic, months-long bidding process.
The meeting did not address options for a scenario in which the sale of the memory chip business does not go through. Toshiba President Satoshi Tsunakawa said, “What happens if we cannot sell Toshiba Memory is a hypothetical question, but we will need to consider various measures depending on environmental changes. We will continue to focus on selling the unit, avoid delisting and improve our financial standings.”
