TOKYO -- The government-owned Development Bank of Japan is considering taking up to a 10% interest in a proposed joint venture between Fujitsu's personal computer business and China's Lenovo Group.
Fujitsu and Lenovo are in negotiations with a goal of reaching an agreement by the end of the month. One proposal is for Lenovo to take a 51% stake and Fujitsu at least a one-third interest in the venture, with the remainder going to the DBJ. Fujitsu and Lenovo could also seek investment from elsewhere.
