The company, whose activities range from laptops to TVs to nuclear energy, is planning to cut 6,800 jobs.
Investors sold Toshiba shares on Monday, leaving them down 10%.
Toshiba's president and vice-president resigned in July after the firm said it had overstated profits for six years.
Masashi
Muromachi took over as chief executive and president from president
Hisao Tanaka and vice-chairman Norio Sasaki also resigned in the wake of
the scandal.
As part of its restructuring, Toshiba will sell its
TV manufacturing plant in Indonesia. It is also looking for investors
for its healthcare business.
Toshiba, which was founded in 1875
and launched the world's first mass-market laptop in 1985, currently
employs almost 200,000 people.
It has lost about 40% of its value since news of the profit overstatement began to emerge in April.
