Fujitsu has had various rumors about the mobile phone business since last year, but on January 31, it was finally decided to sell it to the investment fund Polaris Capital Group. The shares of Fujitsu Connected Technologies, a subsidiary of the Fujitsu mobile phone business, and Japan EM Solutions, a new company that succeeds the manufacturing subsidiary, will be transferred to a company newly established by Polaris.
