Sharp to issue $2 billion in shares to finance buyback, research

TOKYO (Reuters) - Sharp Corp said on Friday it would raise up to 216 billion yen ($2 billion) by issuing new shares and a private placement, using the funds to buy back shares, and on R&D in the fields of 8K and AIoT - an area combining artificial intelligence and Internet of Things.

The Japanese company plans to buy back and cancel 200,000 class A shares, it said.
