Japan's Sharp says Hon Hai has not proposed resuming tie-up talks

[June 25, 2014]  OSAKA Japan (Reuters) - Japan's Sharp Corp said on Wednesday it has not received a proposal from Hon Hai Precision Industry Co to resume discussions about the Taiwanese company taking an equity stake, after talks on an equity tie-up ended between the two.

Hon Hai Chairman Terry Gou told a Japanese magazine in an article published this month that his company was still interested in investing in Sharp.

Sharp Representative Director Tetsuo Onishi told a shareholders' meeting: "At this time, we have received no proposals."
