A Crowded Offer For Toshiba Memory

The Toshiba memory unit saga gets more and more complicated. After failing to reach an agreement with Western Digital by the end of August, Toshiba said that it has signed an MOU to sell its memory unit to a consortium led by U.S. private equity company, Bain Capital and Korean flash memory manufacturer SK Hynix. The reported offer from this group is for about $22 B. At the same time, Toshiba indicated that it did not rule out a deal with other suitors, including Western Digital.

Bain Capital said in a statement that the consortium includes Apple as well as Dell. It also includes Kingston Technology and Seagate Technology. Bain indicated that it would honor the contractual terms of the Western Digital joint venture with Toshiba. Toshiba is said that be looking to wrap up the terms of selling its chip business to the Bain consortium by the end of September.

Note that the Bain consortium (without large players such as Apple and Dell) had been selected by Toshiba to take over its memory business in July, but Western Digital objected, leading to talks in August between Toshiba and Western Digital that resulted in Western Digital apologizing for strained ties after WD sued to keep the memory joint venture from being sold to rival bidders.

Western Digital has asked for international arbitration of any sale with a right to refuse approval of any offer that doesn’t respect its joint venture agreement with Toshiba. It filed arbitration requests on May 14 and July 5 this year. On September 13, Western Digital issued a statement about the Toshiba decision to engage again with the Bain group.

The Western Digital statement said, “We are disappointed that Toshiba would take this action despite Western Digital’s tireless efforts to reach a resolution that is in the best interests of all stakeholders. Throughout our ongoing dialogue with Toshiba, we have been flexible, constructive and have submitted numerous proposals to specifically address Toshiba’s stated concerns. Our goal has been — and remains — to reach a mutually beneficial outcome that satisfies the needs of Toshiba and its stakeholders, and most importantly, ensures the longevity and continued success of the JVs.”

WD went on to say that it was surprised that Toshiba would continue to pursue a transaction with the Bain and SK Hynix consortium without Sandisk (WD) consent. In light of the statement by Bain that it would honor Western Digital’s contractual rights in the joint venture, it remains to be seen if WD will also joint this now crowded collaboration, that includes rival Seagate Technology.

Bain names heavyweights Apple, Dell, Seagate as new partners in Toshiba chip bid team

Bain Capital has brought in Apple Inc., Dell Inc. and other technology heavyweights into a consortium seeking to buy Toshiba Corp.’s prized semiconductor unit, the U.S. investment fund said Friday.

The move, aimed at bolstering the group’s hand in its bidding war with Toshiba’s business partner Western Digital Corp., includes the addition of memory product maker Kingston Technology Corp. and data storage company Seagate Technology.

Toshiba said this week it had agreed to step up talks with the consortium, which includes South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix Inc. It is reportedly offering ¥2.4 trillion ($22 billion) for Toshiba Memory Corp., the world’s No. 2 manufacturer of NAND memory chips.

In a statement, Bain said the companies were prepared to “provide capital in a sign of industry-wide support for an independent Toshiba.”

The struggling Japanese conglomerate is seeking to sell the unit to raise funds to prevent a second year of negative net worth, which would cause it to be delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

But negotiations have been hampered by lawsuits filed by Western Digital claiming that Toshiba is violating the terms of their joint venture contract by seeking a buyer without its consent.

Bain on Friday criticized the legal action, saying “Western Digital’s position regarding their contractual rights is over-reaching and an attempt to frustrate the legitimate efforts of Toshiba to preserve an independent Japanese Toshiba Memory company.”

It added, “The newly capitalized company would continue to honor all the contractual terms of the Western Digital joint venture.”
