Toshiba was seeking around 200 billion yen ($1.76 billion) from Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp, Mizuho Bank and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank to fund a restructuring in the wake of a $1.3 billion accounting scandal, separate sources said earlier this month.

Toshiba last week said it granted Canon Inc exclusive negotiating rights to buy its medical equipment unit after a hotly contested auction, with one source with knowledge of the talks putting Canon's offer at more than $6 billion.
