Its limited visibility on the value of the memory-chip specialist was one reason it cited for its earlier restraint.
Follow @ugalani on TwitterCONTEXT NEWSToshiba said on June 8 that its board has decided to recommend shareholders accept a tender offer from a group led by Japan Industrial Partners.
The tender offer is expected to be launched some time from late July.
Among other factors, it cited limited visibility into the value of chipmaker Kioxia, of which Toshiba owns around 40%.
In recommending the offer, Toshiba noted the book value of Kioxia’s shares had fallen since its March announcement.
