Toshiba is scrambling to sell its flash memory unit to cover losses from its bankrupt US nuclear business Westinghouse.

A group including Western Digital, US private equity firm KKR & Co and Japanese government investors are **offering around 1.9 trillion yen** ($17.3 billion) for the unit, separate sources previously told Reuters. The US firm is offering 150 billion yen through convertible bonds, they said.

The group and Toshiba aim to announce a deal by 31 August when Toshiba’s board meets, other people said on 28 August.

Both Western Digital and Toshiba declined to comment. A KKR representative could not be immediately reached.

Some senior Toshiba executives had initially balked at Western Digital’s offer, but sources said on 25 August that the US firm took a conciliatory tack and decided not to seek a management role in the new business and limit its stake to no more than one-third even when it converts the bonds to equity.

Toshiba and Western Digital are the world’s second and third largest producer of NAND chips.
