Toshiba flogs part of its chip biz
Japan’s troubled Toshiba plans to sell part of its chip business as it aims to recover from a $1.3 billion accounting scandal.
Early interest in the sale has been shown by the Development Bank of Japan as the state-owned bank has already invested in Seiko’s semiconductor operations.
The sale would exclude Toshiba’s mainstay NAND flash memory operations which are still doing rather well.
