On September 30, Nexchip Integration unveiled its strategic plan to jointly augment Anhui Jingmei's capital alongside other investors, setting the price at 1.0758 yuan per unit of registered capital. In this initiative, Nexchip Integration proposes to transfer 100% of the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hefei Jing, with an estimated value of 908 million yuan, to subscribe to 844 million yuan worth of newly issued registered capital in Anhui Jingmei. Upon completion of the capital increase, Nexchip Integration's direct equity interest in Anhui Jingmei is projected to surge from 16.6667% to 32.1599%. Anhui Jingmei stands out in the semiconductor sector, focusing on the research, development, production, and sales of photomasks for process nodes of 28nm and beyond. The photomask business, which traces its roots back to Nexchip Integration's original operations, exhibits a high degree of synergy with the parent company's core business. This strategic move is designed to breathe new life into the company's existing assets, optimize the centralized and efficient utilization of photomask production resources, and further amplify the synergistic effects between wafer fabrication and photomask support services.
