(Telecompaper) Sharp and Hon Hai Precision Industry have reached agreement on the latter's investment in Sharp. An initial agreement was first announced at the end of February, and it took a month for the companies to agree to the final terms.

The price per share is JPY 88, a significant discount to Sharp's more recent range of around JPY 130. Hon Hai will also acquire JPY 100 billion in new class C preferred shares in Sharp.
