We have learned exclusively from key supply chain sources that in order to cope with the most intense price upward cycle in the global memory chip market in the past five years, executives from a leading global PC manufacturer recently visited major global memory chip manufacturers, including Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron, and have reached initial supply guarantee agreements with these suppliers. The source did not specify which is the leading PC manufacturer, but industry analysts believe that currently the two companies most likely to have this bargaining power are Lenovo Group or HP. The global market share of Lenovo Group's PC business in the latest quarter was 25.5%, compared to 19.8% for HP.
