Accords définitifs entre Sharp et Sony pour une Joint Venture
Cela faisait un bout de temps c’était annoncé: la création d’une entité commune (Sharp Display Products Corporation) entre Sharp et Sony ayant pour objectif de produire et de vendre des dalles LCD de grande taille, mais depuis, plus grand chose.
C’est seulement aujorud’hui que les deux fabricants d’écrans LCD se sont mis d’accord, et ont enfin officialisé tout ceci.
On apprend notamment que Sony ne possède rien au 30 Juillet 2009 dans ce nouvel ensemble, mais qu’à partir de décembre 2009, Sony possèdera 7.04% des parts, puis les 34% initialement prévu vers la fin Avril 2011.
Sharp espère ainsi tirer profit de l’expérience de Sony, pour faire de son site de production (Sakai), le premier au Monde. Quant à Sony, il espère un approvisionnement stable, et surtout de profiter de la demande grandissante des téléviseurs LCD.

Sharp Corporation (“Sharp”) and Sony Corporation (“Sony”) today entered into an agreement (the “Joint Venture Agreement”) to establish a joint venture company to produce and sell large-sized LCD panels and modules.
On July 1, 2009, Sharp split out its new LCD panel plant located in Sakai City, which is under construction, and transferred it to Sharp Display Products Corporation (“SDP”), its wholly-owned subsidiary. SDP is scheduled to commence operations in October 2009. On December 29, 2009, as the first step toward the final investment ratio (66% by Sharp and 34% by Sony), Sony will invest 10 billion yen into SDP in exchange for new shares to be issued by SDP to Sony as third-party allocation. As a result of this transaction, SDP will become a joint venture company of Sharp and Sony on the same day. The Joint Venture Agreement further provides that Sony will make a number of additional capital injections to SDP subject to conditions set forth in the Joint Venture Agreement.
SDP will seek to maximize the advantages gained from using the world’s first 10th generation glass substrates to produce large-sized LCD panels and modules that deliver the industry’s highest levels of quality, cost and performance.
Sharp and Sony will further discuss joint development of components for LCD modules to strengthen their mutual collaborative relationship.
The execution of the Joint Venture Agreement will have no significant impact on the consolidated performance of Sharp for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2010.
For the forecast of consolidated performance of Sharp for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2010, please refer to Sharp’s announcement made today regarding consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2009.
