59亿美元！佳能宣布收购东芝医疗设备部门 - 佳能,东芝 - IT资讯
3月17日消息，据外电报道，佳能与东芝周四正式宣布，佳能已同意以6655亿日元（约合59亿美元）的总价收购东芝旗下的医疗设备部门。
在会计丑闻曝光之后，东芝正欲通过出售资产帮助公司进行资金充足。该公司表示，如果出售医疗设备部门的交易能够及时完成，将在截至3月31日的本财年内给公司带来约5900亿日元的利润。
日本照相机和办公设备制造商佳能在上周获得了竞争激烈的东芝医疗（Toshiba Medical）竞拍的独家谈判权。制造X光设备和视力检查设备的佳能，在智能手机导致市场对照相机的需求极度萎缩的情况下，多年来一直试图进入高利润率的医疗设备领域。
在去年可追溯到2009年的会计造假事件曝光之后，东芝首席执行官室町正志（Masashi Muromachi）正试图对这家笔记本电脑和核设施巨头进行彻底的重组。此前，东芝已宣布将裁员超1万人，并计划出售亏损的笔记本电脑和家电业务。
消息人士周四透露，通过出售医疗设备部门获得的资金，将能够让东芝取消从三井住友银行、瑞穗银行和三井住友信托银行再贷款约18亿美元的计划。
不过彭博社在周四报道称，美国当局目前正在对东芝旗下的美国核电业务Westinghouse的会计问题展开调查，使得东芝此前13亿美元的会计丑闻远不能划上句号。据悉，美国司法部与证券交易委员会正在对Westinghouse涉嫌欺诈的问题展开调查。受此影响，东芝股价在周四下跌了近8%。
