Tokyo – Intel’s investment arm, Intel Capital, will provide Onkyo
with about $8.2 million in capital in exchange for equity warrants and
convertible bonds, Nikkei reported. The transaction is expected to close in
December.
In a related development, Onkyo agreed to include Intel PC chips
in future A/V equipment to reduce costs and provide Internet compatibility,
Nikkei said.
“We’ve got nothing to add to the news from Tokyo,” a spokesman said.
