Holding the tail of 2016, Canon finally "touched" Toshiba. On December 19, 2016, Canon announced that Toshiba Medical has officially become its subsidiary and has obtained the necessary licenses from relevant competition regulators. However, I did not expect that in early 2017, Canon was fined by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce for the acquisition of Toshiba Medical.
On January 4, 2017, the Ministry of Commerce issued the first annual administrative penalty decision letter (Commerce Law Letter [2016] No. 965). The decision book stated that after the investigation, Canon’s acquisition of Toshiba Medical constituted a concentration of operators who did not legally declare illegal implementation. And does not have the effect of eliminating or restricting competition. According to Articles 48 and 49 of the Anti-Monopoly Law and Article 13 of the Interim Measures, it is decided to impose a fine of 300,000 yuan on Canon. Punishment.
Let me talk about the reason why Canon was punished - the concentration of operators, the so-called concentration of operators refers to the merger between operators, or the control and influence of other operators. If the combination of operators has an effect on the order of competition, such as excessive concentration of economic power and the emergence of a monopoly structure that undermines competition, it should be subject to adjustment by the anti-monopoly law.
On December 21, 2015, Toshiba finally decided to lay off large-scale layoffs due to a record 550 billion yen (about RMB 29.4 billion) net loss in FY2015: Toshiba announced that it will be in the poorly performing home appliance sector. With the company's early retirement and post adjustment, about 7,800 layoffs, plus the semiconductor-related departments that have decided to lay off employees, the total number of layoffs is about 10,600. Among them, it announced that it will transfer more than 50% of the shares of the medical equipment subsidiary, Toshiba Medical (Tomato City, Otawara) system to other companies (Toshiba Medical System's main business covers CT image and MRI and other easy-to-use image diagnostic devices, especially CT The device has a high market share in the Japanese market).
At the time, including the combination of Canon, Fujifilm, Konica Minolta and the UK investment fund have expressed their intention to acquire Toshiba Medical, Fujifilm is considered to be a strong competitor of Canon, but ultimately spent Canon.
