Bain brings in Apple for last-minute $18 billion bid for Toshiba chip unit: sources
A consortium led by Bain Capital has made a revised last-ditch offer for Toshiba Corp.’s chip unit worth about $18 billion, bringing in Apple Inc. to help bolster its bid, sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The new offer comes as separate sources say the embattled Japanese conglomerate and Western Digital Corp. are struggling to strike a deal ahead of their self-imposed deadline of Thursday.
