A consortium led by private equity firm Japan Industrial Partners (JIP) has been granted preferred bidder status by Toshiba in a second round of bidding, though the conglomerate is still open to proposals from others.
JIP has asked multiple companies to join the consortium, including Orix (NYSE:IX) and Chubu Electric Power Co Inc.
An Orix spokesperson said the company has been considering the matter regarding Toshiba, but declined to comment further.
