TOKYO (Reuters) - Toshiba Corp (T:6502) said on Friday it filed an application to return to the Tokyo Stock Exchange's first section.

The Japanese company was relegated to the second section in 2017 after massive writedowns at its U.S. nuclear power business caused liabilities to exceed assets - a condition for automatic demotion.
