Huawei prepares to offer smart device system Honor to a consortium of purchasers in an effort to guarantee its survival amidst debilitating United States sanctions, according to a declaration released late on Monday. 

“The acquisition represents a market-driven investment made to save Honor’s industry chain,” Huawei stated in a joint declaration launched with a group of more than 30 Chinese dealerships and representatives. 

“It is the best solution to protect the interests of Honor’s consumers, channel-sellers, suppliers, partners, and employees.”

The sale statement comes as Huawei’s customer organization scrambles to survive following harder sanctions levelled by the Trump administration on the Chinese business, consisting of procedures that take objective at the Chinese telecom giant’s international chip supply.  Terms of the offer weren’t revealed, however a Reuters report released previously this month stated the offer might bring more than $15 billion. Once the sale is total, Huawei will not hold any shares in the brand-new Honor business, Huawei stated in a declaration.

Honor is a Huawei sub-brand that offers low-priced smart devices created for more youthful customers within its native China along with abroad consisting of Europe and South East Asia. The seven-year-old business ships 70 million phones each year, according to the declaration. Honor items typically depend upon Huawei’s innovation and some Honor phones operate on Huawei’s cutting-edge Kirin chipsets.

“Huawei’s consumer business has been under tremendous pressure as of late,” the business stated in the declaration. “This has been due to a persistent unavailability of technical elements needed for our mobile phone business.”

“This move has been made by Honor’s industry chain to ensure its own survival,” Huawei stated.

The purchase will be made by a brand-new business called Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co, according to the joint declaration. It was established by the abovementioned consortium of purchasers and a tech business called Shenzhen Smart City Technology Development Group Co, which was formed by the federal government of the Chinese city of Shenzhen.Â
