According to Toshiba, a consortium led by Japan Industrial Partners private equity company effectively bought around 78% of Toshiba in a tender offer. This is an important step toward the completion of a $14 billion agreement to privatize the corporation.
This agreement effectively places control of the electronics-to-power stations manufacturer in the hands of domestic entities, bringing an end to years of conflicts with activist shareholders from abroad.
Otherwise, JIP is also supported by over 20 Japanese corporations.
Toshiba approved JIP’s purchase proposal in March, valuing the industrial group at 2 trillion yen ($13.5 billion). This decision was made with the belief that there were no possibilities for a greater offer or rival bid, even though some thought the offer price of 4,620 yen per share to be inadequate.
Toshiba has faced a string of difficulties, including incidents of accounting scandals, significant financial setbacks, and the imminent risk of being removed from stock exchange listings. Furthermore, the company has been entangled in a sequence of disputes related to corporate governance.
