- Story Text:Toshiba Corp. said on Tuesday (December 27) it was considering booking a one-off loss of about 100 billion yen ($850 million) on a U.S. nuclear power acquisition made by its Westinghouse operation last year.
The Japanese electronics conglomerate said it would make any necessary announcements following a board meeting on the matter on Tuesday.
The potential loss relates to the acquisition of Chicago Bridge & Iron's (CB&I) nuclear business unit in October last year. CB&I and Westinghouse are involved in litigation over the calculation of working capital in the deal. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
