- While TMC resumed WDT’s access to
certain information stored on certain TMC databases, this order
will not affect TMC’s memory business, including TMC’s unilateral
investments in Fab 6 at Yokkaichi Operations.
Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) and Toshiba Memory Corporation
(‘TMC”), a subsidiary of Toshiba today received an order from the
Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco (the
Court) regarding the motion for preliminary injunctive relief made
by SanDisk LLC (SanDisk), a subsidiary of Western Digital
Corporation (Western Digital) (NASDAQ: WDC), relating to Western
Digital’s access to certain information stored on certain databases
owned by TMC.
The Court ordered, among other things, for TMC to resume Western
Digital Technologies, Inc.’s (WDT) access to certain data stored on
TMC’s databases. While TMC will comply with the order, it will not
affect TMC’s memory business, including TMC’s decision to make
unilateral investments in Fab 6 at Yokkaichi Operations.
Dr. Yasuo Naruke, Senior Executive Vice President of Toshiba
Corporation stated that, “While we are aware of the Judge’s ruling
today, we do not expect any of the current ongoing litigation with
Western Digital and SanDisk to limit us in proceeding with our
business plans. I am extremely confident in our decision to move
forward with timely unilateral investments in Fab 6 at Yokkaichi
Operations – which will allow us to maintain our position as a
leading player in the highly competitive 3D Flash memory
market.”
