SAN FRANCISCO, July 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C., on behalf of its managed funds and 
accounts ("Farallon"), today announced that it plans to vote for the 
shareholder proposals to Toshiba Corporation (Code: 6502) ("Toshiba") at 
Toshiba's 181st Annual General Meeting (Proposal No. 3 and No.4) (the 
"Shareholder Proposals"). 

Farallon has been a large shareholder of Toshiba since 2017 and has sought to 
maintain a continuous and constructive engagement with Toshiba's management 
team during this time. Farallon believes in Toshiba's potential and hopes that 
Toshiba will continue to take steps to maximize value for stakeholders in 
accordance with the company's "Toshiba Next Plan." 

Based on Farallon's review of publicly available information, including the 
information included in the Shareholder Proposals, Farallon believes that it is 
important that Toshiba seek to further strengthen its corporate governance 
framework in the interests of all stakeholders.  Farallon has accordingly 
concluded that it will support the election of the new director candidates in 
the Shareholder Proposals.  Farallon hopes that the director candidates, if 
elected, will provide valuable experience and perspective to the Board and 
management with a view to enabling mid- to long-term value creation in 
accordance with the Toshiba Next Plan.
