Intel to buy LG Semicon stake at up to $1bln-paper

SEOUL, June 21 (Reuters) - Intel Corp INTC.O of the
United States plans to invest up to $1 billion in LG Semicon
29890.KS to secure a 20-30 percent stake in the South Koreas
chip making company, Seoul media said on Sunday.

The influential Chosun Ilbo newspaper quoted a high-ranking
official in the financial industry as saying the two chip
manufacturers had completed the deal.

Officials at LG Semicon, a unit of powerful LG Group
1/8LUGG.CN 3/8, were not immediately available for comment.

The two parties plan to formally sign the deal next month,
the daily quoted the source as saying.

If true, LG Semicon would likely be excluded from proposed
big deals, or exchanges of business lines among large Korean
conglomerates known as chaebol.

Such deals have been proposed as one way to reduce
corporate Koreas problems. Many have suggested Hyundai Group
1/8HYGR.CN 3/8 would end up with the bulk of the car industry,
Samsung Group 1/8SAGR.CN 3/8 with semiconductors and LG with
chemicals.

The newspaper said Intel was also expected to take part in
building a semiconductor plant in Wales, in which LG Semicon
had planned to invest a total of $1.9 billion. LG has invested
only $350 million so far in the plant.
