It’s Official: Toshiba Now Private Company

As of today, Toshiba Corporation of Japan has been delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange, ending its 74-year history as a private company.

In October, a majority of Toshiba shareholders accepted a $14 billion buyout offer from a consortium of investors led by Japan Investment Partners (JIP). As a result, Toshiba has become a private company and was today delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Premier Market of the Nagoya Stock Exchange.

The company began soliciting buyout offers last year after a series of challenging losses in the last several years, with its board eventually selecting the JIP consortium.

Toshiba CEO Taro Shimada will continue to lead the company.
