Tokyo - Arab Today

Bain Capital and a Japanese state-backed fund are in talks about teaming up to bid for Toshiba Corp.’s prized chip unit, sources familiar with the matter said.
The US private equity firm would replace rival KKR & Co. LP as the main partner of the state-backed fund and would be a minority investor in the consortium under the plan being discussed, one of the sources said.
Bain submitted a bid in the second round of the auction with South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix.
The current consortium led by the Japan Innovation Network Corp. fund is one of two frontrunners in the race for the world’s second-biggest producer of NAND flash memory chips.
The sources declined to be identified, as the talks were confidential. A representative for SK Hynix declined to comment. A representative for KKR was not immediately available for comment.
Western Digital, which jointly operates a key flash memory chip plant with Toshiba in Japan, has been planning to work with the Japanese state-backed fund and KKR in its proposal.
It recently presented an outline of its proposed bid to Toshiba, separate sources said.
The Japan-backed consortium is competing with US chipmaker Broadcom Ltd., which has partnered with US private equity firm Silver Lake. Some sources say Broadcom may have the upper hand as it has submitted a higher bid that is also likely to invite less anti-trust scrutiny.
The Japan-backed consortium was also seen on the back foot as Western Digital and Toshiba are at loggerheads over the sale of the chip unit, with the California-based firm claiming breach of contract.
In its bid, Western Digital initially hoped to gain a majority holding, but has agreed to limit its stake to 19.9 percent to appease the government, the sources said.
Toshiba is rushing to find a buyer for the business, which it values at $18 billion or more, to cover billions of dollars in cost overruns at its now-bankrupt US nuclear business Westinghouse Electric Corp.
