Toshiba Corp. plans to raise 600 billion yen ($5.4 billion) by selling new shares and will explore divestment of its Westinghouse-related assets in a bid to avoid being delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Toshiba’s board approved the transaction on Sunday and expects it to close in early December, the Tokyo-based company said in a statement. It will sell 2.28 billion new shares at 262.8 yen apiece, about 10 percent less than Friday’s closing price, it said in a separate statement in Japanese. Toshiba shares fell 5.8 percent in Tokyo trading.
