TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's embattled Toshiba Corp said it would continue negotiating with three bidding groups for its prized memory chip unit, failing to seal a deal by its self-imposed deadline of Thursday.

Toshiba's board met earlier in the day to review a $17 billion offer by a consortium led by Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC), as well as bids from groups led by Bain Capital and by Hon Hai Precision Industry.
