Foxconn Delays Finalizing Sharp Deal

The video discusses the challenges in finalizing a deal between Foxconn and Sharp. Initial issues included contingent liabilities and concerns over Sharp's financial performance. Foxconn is reconsidering the amount it is willing to pay, particularly regarding 500 billion yen in new Sharp shares, and is negotiating the terms of an additional 100 billion yen payment to Sharp's banks. These unresolved issues suggest the deal may not conclude this month, raising concerns of a repeat of 2012 when a similar deal fell through.
