According to sources in the Japanese media, Apple seems to be paying close attention to the deal between Foxconn and Toshiba. Most likely, Apple will buy shares of Toshiba to avoid monopoly from Foxconn.
Radio NHK (Japan), Friday (14/4), said that Apple is considering to partner with Foxconn in the business acquisition bid Toshiba - one of the flash memory chip manufacturers the world's largest.
Accordingly, Apple is expected to invest billions of dollars to hold a 20% stake in Toshiba. This will undoubtedly diminish Foxconn's profit margins, but the shares will ensure that all of Toshiba's operations remain under US and Japanese control.
This information somewhat relieves the tensions and concerns of the Japanese government regarding the transfer of many sensitive technologies from Toshiba in particular and Japan in general to foreign investors, especially Foxconn, The Taiwanese company has a close relationship with China.
Page Reuters said, Foxconn has joined Toshiba repurchase auction right from the first round. This has raised national security concerns over Japan, partly because Japan-China relations have not been softer after much sea tension.
The NHK news came shortly after Toshiba Corp.'s Western Digital group issued a warning that plans to sell Toshiba's chips would result in a breach of the joint venture agreement. At the same time, Western Digital wants to be granted exclusive rights to negotiate in the deal.
However, Toshiba's sale of chips is needed at this time to cover its debt-laden operating losses in the United States, and to address the current crisis.
According to NHK , Toshiba has narrowed its list of four investors, including Broadcom, SK Hynix, Western Digital and Foxconn. However, sources said that Apple may have participated with 10 votes in the first offering of Toshiba, so Apple can still participate in the next round if Toshiba expand the list.
Page Bloomberg reported, Toshiba's shares fell more than 5% on Thursday 6 (14/4) by business segment was forced to stop the chip to deal with Western Digital.
