Shame in Japan: Toshiba's nuclear power business Westinghouse is officially bankrupt
According to the latest report by the Japanese media, due to insolvency, Toshiba’s US nuclear electronics company, Westinghouse Electric (WH), has officially initiated the procedure for applying Article 11 of the “United States Federal Bankruptcy Lawâ€.
Toshiba provided approximately 700 billion yen in debt guarantees to Westinghouse Electric. It is estimated that the application for the application of the bankruptcy law would result in an additional loss of approximately 300 billion yen. The total loss may be as large as 1 trillion yen, approximately RMB 62.0 billion.
It is reported that Toshiba made this painful decision in order to prevent further losses. In addition, Toshiba will determine the loss as soon as possible, speed up the reorganization, and completely improve the business situation.
Major trading banks such as Mizuho Bank of Japan and Mitsui Sumitomo Bank also supported Toshiba’s bankruptcy.
In addition, Toshiba will hold an extraordinary general meeting on March 30 to discuss splitting the semiconductor business to form a new company. However, some senior executives are concerned that the application for bankruptcy may adversely affect this.
On April 11th, Toshiba will eventually submit its first three fiscal quarterly statements for the fiscal year 2016 that have been postponed again.
