Foxconn is not looking to buy out Sharp shareholders. Rather,
the company would inject 389 billion yen into Sharp in exchange
for new shares, after which it would hold a roughly two-thirds
stake, one of the sources told the Journal. (http://on.wsj.com/1QwXBX7)
Foxconn has also offered to buy 225 billion yen worth of
preferred shares held by Sharp's two main banks, Mitsubishi UFJ
Financial Group Inc <8306.T> and Mizuho Financial Group Inc
<8411.T>, people familiar with the matter told the Journal.
