Core Viewpoint - Wingtech Technology's chair, Ruby Yang, has expressed concerns about ongoing instability in the global semiconductor supply chain, emphasizing the need for the company to regain control over its Dutch subsidiary, Nexperia, due to alleged violations of a bilateral investment treaty by Dutch authorities [1][2]. Group 1: Company Control and Governance - Wingtech demands the reinstatement of its shareholder rights at Nexperia, claiming that the Dutch government and certain executives are working to marginalize its role [2]. - A Dutch court ruling has suspended Wingtech founder Zhang Xuezheng from his CEO position at Nexperia and transferred voting rights to court-appointed trustees, escalating the conflict [2][3]. Group 2: Operational Impact - Following the court ruling, Nexperia's China operations severed ties with its Dutch headquarters, leading to a halt in wafer shipments to the manufacturing site in Guangdong, effectively splitting Nexperia into two separate operations [3]. - The European unit relies on Asian assembly and testing operations, while the Chinese side requires wafer supply from Europe, creating a dependency that prevents either side from fully replacing the other in the production chain [4]. Group 3: Legal and Financial Implications - Wingtech has issued a notice of dispute to the Dutch government, indicating potential international arbitration and compensation claims if no resolution is reached within six months, with Nexperia's internal valuation estimated at approximately $8 billion [5]. - Concerns regarding the alleged transfer of intellectual property to China are linked to a plan from 2020 to establish a new wafer fabrication plant in Shanghai, known as WingSkySemi (WSS), which was part of Nexperia's long-term strategy [5][6].
