It was originally incorporated as Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications , and headquartered in London, England, until Sony acquired Ericsson's share in the venture on February 16, 2012. On March 26, 2020, Sony announced that it will establish an intermediate holding company called Sony Electronics Corporation that will incorporate the three businesses that comprise its Electronics Products & Solutions segment (Imaging Products & Solutions, Home Entertainment & Sound, and Mobile Communications) effective April 1, 2020.
