Troubled Japanese conglomerate Toshiba has said it is suspending its plan to split into two after last month's shareholder vote against the idea and will now weigh the possibility of going private.
The firm announced in a statement Thursday that its management team will lead discussions with private equity funds and other possible investors on potential offers.
The management team will separately develop a new business plan, which will also be announced before the meeting, Toshiba said. It was the latest setback for the engineering giant, which was once a symbol of Japan's tech and business prowess but has faced a series of scandals, financial troubles and shock high-level resignations in recent years.
Several major shareholders argued that a spin-off would only add to Toshiba's woes by creating more managerial posts at smaller units, rather than improving the firm's governance.
