According to a report from ITHome, TCL Electronics announced earlier today that it will acquire 100% of the shares of TCL Communications. If you’re unaware, both are distinct subsidiaries of TCL Industries. TCL Electronics will acquire its fellow shares for around 1.5 billion Yuan, which is just over $211 million. At the same time, TCL Electronics sold about the same percentage of the shares in Maojia International help to TCL Industries at a price of RMB 2.5 billion (~$353 million) and TCL industries will pay this amount in cash.

The Electronics sub-division stated that the company believes that the sale is in the best interests of the company. According to the report, the company will focus on developing its own branded products. If you recall, the company is further establishing its presence as a smartphone maker. Nowadays we’re seeing good smartphones carrying TCL branding. The company owns the rights of the BlackBerry brand but ultimately has been working hard to establish its own identity in the smartphone market.
