The Toshiba conglomerate isn't having its brightest days ever. An accounting scandal, massive layoffs, and most importantly, Westinghouse's recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing have left the company's finances in an unenviable state. In response, Toshiba made preparations to sell off its healthy and profitable memory endeavors by spinning them off into a separate entity known as Toshiba Memory Corporation. Several interested parties have entered bids for TMC, and all might have been well for Toshiba, but Western Digital (who purchased SanDisk last year) felt that the terms of SanDisk's joint venture with Toshiba gave it some right to intervene in the sale. Negotiations have since broken down, and a whole lot of arbitration and litigation have ensued. The situation is still unfolding, but the long and short of it is that TMC remains unsold for the time being.
