Toshiba, which is exploring strategic options, said this month
it had received eight initial buyout proposals and two proposals
for capital alliances that would see it remain listed.
The bidders are now discussing an offer price range of up to
7,000 yen a share with Toshiba's shareholders, the people said,
representing up to a 27% premium to Toshiba's share price as of
Wednesday's close.
A separate source said the range of offers had been wide spread
and various conditions have been attached.
Toshiba said in a statement to Reuters that it would not
disclose details of the proposals.
