Bloomberg has an article today after the close saying Toshiba Corp (6502 JP)'s board will meet tomorrow to discuss the JIP bid, and the Special Committee will give its recommendations. 
The article suggests the Board may proceed with a vote. If they do, an announced bid could come as early as the afternoon.
