The favorite of the race for the right to buy Toshiba's assets related to the production of solid-state memory such as NAND, was still behind the scenes the American company Broadcom, which together with the Silver Lake Partners was able to break the Foxconn rate, offering the Japanese corporation about $ 23 billion. In addition, Japanese authorities to the list of trustworthy , and South Korean and Chinese bidders are considered to be undesirable partners.
Now Reuters, referring to the Japanese newspaper Asahi, reports that the investment fund INCJ and the state bank Development Bank of Japan could become co-investors of Broadcom in the acquisition of Toshiba's core assets. INCJ did not participate in the first round of the auction, but the representatives of the fund do not deny their interest in the deal, although only as a purchaser of a minimum shareholding. The participation of Japanese investors should put off the vigilance of Toshiba shareholders and government bodies, which are still not ready to share key technologies for national interests with foreigners.
INCJ has already been involved in the rescue of some Japanese companies. With the direct participation of the fund, a joint venture, Japan Display, was created that combined the assets of Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba, related to the production of small and medium-sized LCD displays. Among INCJ shareholders there are also large Japanese corporations like Toyota Motor and Sony Corporation, and there are more than twenty of them.
