Toshiba is going to be split into two, is this the end?

Toshiba has officially announced that they are going to be sliding themselves up into two smaller companies after many months of internal management issues. These two new Independent standalone companies will be publicly traded and will be infrastructure services covering energy, transportation, batteries, and other areas.

The original plan, which faced opposition from the shareholders and Toshiba, was to separate their infrastructure operations Which would continue under the Toshiba name. This great Japanese company has been facing a lot of increasing pressure over these recent years as there has been a series of scandals and management issues. Issues like them selling their semiconductor business for nuclear power, backfired.

Toshiba CEO Satoshi Tsunakawa said “After further engaging with key stakeholders and completing the additional analysis, we determined that separating Toshiba into two standalone companies and divesting certain non-core assets is in the best long-term interests of our Company and its shareholders, customers, business partners, and employees, The refined strategic reorganization plan creates two distinctive companies that are well-positioned to take advantage of their unique strengths and business cycles, We will be able to deliver these benefits while providing a clearer path to completion, reducing the associated costs, maintaining tax-free status and keeping to our stated timeframe of completing the spin-off in the second half of FY2023.

Investors did like the news and greeted with approval and said that their firms had built up considerable positions to make a change at Toshiba. And over the coming years, they aim to give ¥300 billion (around $2.6 billion) to shareholders as part of the plan. They will also be selling a 55% stake in AC business to a US Group.
