In accordance with information from the web, Sony will invest in financial trouble Olympus. Here is the extract:
"Sony is expected to approve a plan to invest around $642 million (50 billion yen) in Olympus. As the Japanese manufacturer of cameras, optics and reprography products is currently facing a trial for having hidden investment losses
for the past 20 years, it has been looking for a potential investor for
months. By injecting that capital investment, Sony will become the
largest shareholder. After rumors of a Panasonic investment in June, Reuters
confirmed from three different sources that Sony and Olympus are ready
to announce an investment that would represent 10 percent of the
capital. Olympus reported a net loss of $630 million (49 billion yen) for the
last fiscal year, mainly due to wrong financial decisions and the
repercussions of the past scandalous affaire.
Today, the company and three former high ranked executives pleaded
guilty. Over a couple of decades, around $1.7 billion of losses were
faked."
