OCZ 股票在美國時間 27 日就已經 出現停止交易的情況，而這家公司在台灣時間 28 日凌晨 3 時左右正式發佈新聞稿，宣布申請破產。
在較早之前的報導，OCZ 不符合某些貸款協議的執行比例以及契約，因此根據 Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc.（HTGC）的書面指示，該公司所有的存款以及現金將由 HTGC 控制。
目前日本 Toshiba 集團已經正式對 OCZ 破產程序中的資產進行報價，OCZ 認為雙方大致上已經完成談判協議，同時所有重要條款已經獲得同意，至於這些條款將涵蓋商標以及員工的保留。在美國破產法令的相關法規下，Toshiba 的報價已經獲得破產法院的同意。
如果無法與 Toshiba 達成最後協議，OCZ 計劃在近日遞交破產申請文件，同時公司也會進行清算。
在這之前，市場已經有不少消息陸續傳出，同時 OCZ Vector 150 採用 Toshiba 19nm NAND Flash 也間接暗示了這些傳聞，只是雙方在沒有公佈的前提下，大家只有繼續猜測。
現階段相信 OCZ 將接受 Toshiba 所提出的協議，整筆交易最快將會在 11 月底前完成。Toshiba 目前缺乏控制器，OCZ 再擁有控制器技術但缺少 NAND Flash 的情況之下，若後者歸入 Toshiba 旗下，對於這家日本公司可能會是一件相當不錯的事情，這也將讓 Toshiba 成為另一家擁有傳統硬碟以及 SSD 的儲存廠。
截止台灣時間凌晨 3 點 06 分，OCZ 股價從 0.63 一路滑落至 0.1628 美元，下滑幅度高達 74%。
SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/27/13 -- OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCZ), a leading provider of high-performance solid state drives (SSDs) for computing devices and systems, today announced that on November 25, 2013, it received notices that Hercules Technology Growth Capital, Inc. ("Hercules") took exclusive control of the Company's depository accounts at Silicon Valley Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. As set forth in the Company's recent SEC filings, Hercules and the Company are parties to a loan and security agreement. As previously reported, the Company is not in compliance with certain of the operating ratios and covenants in the loan agreement. As a result of such action and pursuant to Hercules' written instruction, the depository institutions disbursed the cash in the Company's respective accounts to accounts under the control of Hercules.
The Company has received an offer from Toshiba Corporation to acquire substantially all of the Company's assets in a bankruptcy proceeding. The parties have substantially completed negotiations on an asset purchase agreement and OCZ believes that all the material terms have been agreed to. The agreement is subject to various conditions: the preservation of the value of the business, including the retention of employees, the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, the filing of bankruptcy petitions by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, Toshiba's offer being accepted by the bankruptcy court as the highest and best offer under the circumstances after an auction process conducted under the relevant provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and other customary closing conditions. The Company expects to file a petition for bankruptcy shortly after completing final documentation with Toshiba and Hercules, and to conduct the court-supervised auction process to attempt to maximize the value of the Company's assets and operations in an orderly process. More details will become available when the Company files its petition for bankruptcy.
If the Company is not able to agree to final documentation with Toshiba, the Company expects to imminently file a petition for bankruptcy and liquidate.
