We are appreciative of all the support provided by our shareholders, creditors, and vendors which allowed this combination to occur," said Ralph Schmitt, CEO for OCZ Technology. "The OCZ team is excited to be a part of an innovative company like Toshiba where we can continue to develop new and unique SSD technologies that position the Company as a solid state solutions leader in both the client and enterprise storage markets."

OCZ also announced that the company is currently going through a bidding procedure for its power management business and the transaction should come to a close within next few weeks. OCZ is also expected to reveal details, or at least more information, regarding the acquisition of its SSD business by Toshiba pretty soon.
