Toshiba is very reluctant to show losses on the results of 2015 fiscal year, which ended on 31 March. Therefore, Toshiba began to look for buyers in the "non-core" assets before the end of the year. In March, Canon has agreed to buy a unit of Toshiba Medical, which manufactures medical equipment: X-ray installation, MRI scanners, computer tomography devices and more. The trick is that the transaction was carried out so rapidly that Japan's authorities do not even have time to open his mouth. So Toshiba before announcing the results of the year managed to hold on the balance of additional 665.5 billion yen, which is equivalent to $ 6.5 billion.
Approval by the Japanese regulator of transactions between Canon and Toshiba have happened just the other day, what informed the news agency Reuters. In general, representatives of the Japanese Fair Trade Commission (FTC) found no reason to refuse to conduct the transaction. However, the regulator expressed in that spirit, that much can not be done. Related Products :
