As such, some investors question the transparency of Toshiba's ongoing strategic review.\nAt least one private equity firm told the Toshiba committee tasked with its strategic review that a deal to take it private could be done at 6,000 yen a share or more, according to two people briefed on the review process.\nAnother private equity firm told the committee a deal could get done at around 5,000 yen a share, according to one of the people briefed on the review and another person.\nA price of 6,000 yen would value Toshiba at around 2.6 trillion yen ($23 billion) and represent a 32% premium to its average price over the past 200 days, according to Refinitiv data.\nIt would also be in line with the 6,000-6,500 yen range that some major shareholders including hedge fund Elliott Management have estimated as fair.\nThe Toshiba committee said last month it asked four private equity firms at what price a potential deal to go private could happen. The range of prices it received were \"not compelling relative to market expectations\" it said in a statement, without specifying the range or elaborating on market expectations.\nMultiple sources have said the firms included KKR & Co and Bain Capital.\n\"We are communicating with shareholders explaining the separation plan we announced on Nov. 12 as well as listening to their opinions,\" Toshiba said in a statement to Reuters. \"We will continue our communications with various stakeholders.\"\n'BEST ALTERNATIVE'\nThe outside director who heads the committee, Paul Brough, told investors splitting Toshiba was \"the best alternative\", and the committee would not change its mind even if the price levels were made public, according to a transcript of a Nov. 15 meeting with investors seen by Reuters.\nAsked by an investor whether shareholders could \"have a voice in the process,\" Brough said the committee hoped shareholders would agree the break-up offered greater value.\nReached via a Toshiba spokesperson, Brough confirmed his comments in the transcript but declined to comment further.\nSome shareholders have also taken issue with Toshiba's decision not to pursue talks with Canada's Brookfield Asset Management, one of the private equity firms, on a potential minority investment, according to several sources.\nThat could have seen Brookfield, which successfully turned around the conglomerate's bankrupt nuclear power business Westinghouse, take a minority stake and help overhaul the business, sources said.\nBrookfield did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\nToshiba's review committee has said it held more than 25 meetings with an unnamed \"party\", but the suggested transaction was ultimately deemed as \"challenging\" for shareholders to support.\nToshiba is now conducting interviews with shareholders through investor relations advisory firm Makinson Cowell to solicit opinions on the break-up, sources said.\nA Toshiba source, who declined to be identified, said it appeared some hedge fund investors won't ever be won over to the break-up plan.\n\"Certain shareholders would never be satisfied unless we agree to be taken private,\" the Toshiba source said.
