TOKYO (Reuters) - A consortium that includes Western Digital (WDC.O) is offering 1.9 trillion yen ($17.4 billion) for Toshiba Corp's (6502.T) memory chip business, which the Japanese conglomerate is trying to sell to cover losses from its U.S. nuclear business, sources said on Thursday.
Western Digital is set to offer 150 billion yen through convertible bonds and will not seek voting rights in the business, the sources who were familiar with the deal said.
The consortium also includes U.S. private equity firm KKR & Co (KKR.N) as well as the state-backed Innovation Network Corp of Japan and Development Bank of Japan, all of which will offer 300 billion yen each for the chip business, the sources said.
Under the proposal, Toshiba's lenders including Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp and Mizuho Bank would also extend around 700 billion yen in loans, they said.

Other Japanese companies will also invest around 50 billion yen to ensure domestic firms hold a combined 60 percent stake, the sources said, adding that Toshiba itself would keep a 100 billion yen stake in the business.
Bis Ende des Monats möchte Sharp sich einigen. Mal schauen ob das klappt, wenn nicht, dann geht es erstmal wieder südwärts.
