Panasonic and Sanyo Aim to Merge by End of Year

Two Japanese consumer electronics companies, Panasonic and Sanyo, said Friday that they were pursuing a merger, a deal that would bring together two well-known brands with combined annual sales of more than 11 trillion yen, or $111.5 billion.
In an announcement that had been widely expected, Panasonic and Sanyo said they would discuss making the much-smaller Sanyo, which has been struggling for years, a subsidiary of Panasonic. The companies hoped to complete a deal by the end of the year.
“We aim to share both companies’ management know-how and business resources while collaborating with each other, thereby creating a global competitive foundation which will maximize corporate values of both Panasonic and Sanyo,” the companies, which are based in Osaka, said in a joint statement Friday.
Panasonic did not say how much it planned to offer for each Sanyo share. Koya Tabata, an analyst at Credit Suisse, estimated earlier this week that Panasonic could offer as much as 140 yen, or $1.43, for each Sanyo share, according to Reuters. That would value a deal for the whole of Sanyo at as much as 862 billion yen, or roughly $8.8 billion.
The consumer electronics industry is reeling from a sharp drop-off in sales, as shoppers worried about global recession and shaken by the turmoil in the stock markets keep their wallets shut.
While the problem has affected companies around the world, Japanese exporters must also deal with a strong yen, which makes their goods more expensive. Rising competition from rivals in South Korea and China has also increased the pressure on Japanese manufacturers to consider mergers.
Panasonic, the leading maker of plasma televisions, is particularly interested in acquiring Sanyo because of its leading position in rechargeable batteries, which are widely used in cellphones and laptop computers.
The deal would also allow Panasonic to enter the solar market. Sanyo is a leading maker of solar cells, behind rivals like Q-Cells of Germany and Suntech Power Holdings of ChinaFACTBOX: Japan's Panasonic to acquire Sanyo Electric
Fri Nov 7, 2008:
TOKYO (Reuters) - Panasonic Corp said it aims to make Sanyo Electric Co Ltd its subsidiary, creating Japan's largest electronics maker.
Following are some key facts about the two companies:
* PANASONIC CORP:
