TOKYO, March 1 (Reuters) - Toshiba Corp 6502.T is set to
announce the resignation of Chief Executive Satoshi Ttsunakawa
as early as Tuesday as he takes the blame for turmoil related to
its restructuring plan, Japanese broadcaster TV Tokyo reported.
Senior executive Taro Shimada will become the new head of
the company, TV Tokyo said.
Mamoru Hatazawa, corporate senior executive vice president
and a board member, and another senior executive, Shigeru
Fukuyama, will also resign, it said.
Toshiba said in a statement to Reuters that its board will
meet on Tuesday and the company will make an announcement if any
decision is made that requires disclosure.
But it also said the TV Tokyo report is "not grounded in
fact," and not based on any announcement by Toshiba.
