As of now, Micron requires to get the approval of the creditors, as well as court and regulatory approvals from U.S. to transfer Elpida’s assets- most likely sealing the deal in the first half of 2013.

Elpida was the last of Japan’s DRAM flash chipmakers which went into bankruptcy because of falling chip prices and multiple foreign competition and was unable to get a bailout from the Japanese government. The company was delisted from Tokyo stock exchange on March.

After completing acquisition, Micron will grab #2 spot as the largest DRAM Chips manufacturer, below Samsung Electronics.
