is located in Europe, based on Netherlands , Belgium , Luxembourg , and Luxembourg , and in the three working languages of Britain, France and Germany, it engages in investment and mergers and acquisitions across Europe.
The UK has long been the first stop for Chinese companies to invest overseas and is an investment portal. Chinese companies set up headquarters here to invest. In the past, they were very relieved, but now they dare not say they are relieved, and they are simply frightened.
The British government announced that due to the reasons of "national security", it officially required Chinese companies wholly-owned subsidiary , the Netherlands Anshi Semiconductor will sell the British chip factory Newport, which has been acquired, for the reason of "national security". Wafer Fab (Xinggang Chip Factory) has at least 86% of shares .
Since it acquired shares 2100% ten months ago, according to the requirements of the British government, Chinese companies can only hold up to 14% of the shares, completely becoming financial investors, and have no impact on the production and operation of British companies.
's previous acquisition price was US$87 million, with a contract of RMB 564 million. After the successful acquisition, Chinese companies also invested 160 million pounds of real money to repay debts and expand production, with a total investment of more than 200 million pounds.
Now that the child is raised, he has been taken back.
The National Security and Investment Act was officially implemented this year. Foreign M&A dealers need to declare the acquisition to the British government's investment security review department through a mandatory declaration or voluntary declaration system. The bill allows the British government to exercise the right of retrospective and intervention. Even the transaction approved at the time can be overturned many years later.
This brings huge uncertainty and risks to foreign investors in the acquisition of sensitive industry assets in the UK.
Newport With more than 50 years of experience in the research and development and production of silicon-based semiconductors, INMOS (INMOS International Co., Ltd.) established a factory here in 1982. INMOS is a British semiconductor company established in 1978. Later, it changed its ownership several times. STMicroelectronics , American International Rectifier Company, and Infineon successively acquired and integrated them. In 2017, the foundry factory Newport Wafer was established. Fab, determined to build a world-class silicon and silicon-based compound semiconductor wafer manufacturing company, and this move has been supported by the British government.
In 2019, Dutch Anshi Semiconductor (100% holding ) also became the second shareholder of NWF through investment and acquired it in 2021.
For this British semiconductor company, the reasons for national security seem a bit far-fetched.
In fact, the technology of the British factory is not advanced, and the 8-inch wafer process is not the most advanced. Don’t worry about acquiring advanced British technology. Dutch Anshi Semiconductor has After putting in production of a 12-inch silicon carbide wafer factory in Shanghai, China, with an annual production capacity of 400,000 pieces, it will be put into production in 2022;
Moreover, the most advanced third-generation compound semiconductor business in the UK factory has been divested, which is not within the scope of the assets acquired by Anshi Semiconductor .
As for the British government's business specifically mentioned by the British government, some measures can be taken to establish a firewall, such as divesting a separate production line, closed management of all computer systems, and not allowing information from the UK, etc., all of which can protect the security of the British government's business.
At present, British semiconductor companies are ready to appeal, but they are expected to have little hope. This merger and acquisition hit the gun and will probably be strictly implemented.
