Kioxia Holdings Corp. and Western Digital Corp. have terminated negotiations on their proposed merger due to an opposition from an indirect investor in Kioxia, it was learned Friday.
The Japanese and U.S. chipmakers had been seeking to forge the merger deal by the end of this month, but they found it difficult to do so under the current situation where major South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix Inc., which holds a stake in Kioxia through U.S. investment fund Bain Capital, is persistently opposed.
