ON Semiconductor Announces Receipt of Regulatory Approval for Acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor
26 8월 2016 - 5:15AM
Business Wire
ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ON) (“ON Semiconductor”) announced
today that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has accepted a
proposed consent order for public comment and has terminated the
Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period applicable to ON Semiconductor’s
proposed acquisition of Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc.
(Nasdaq: FCS) (“Fairchild”). Under the proposed consent order and
in order to satisfy the FTC’s remaining concerns, prior to the
closing of the acquisition of Fairchild, the FTC required that ON
Semiconductor dispose of its planar insulated gate bipolar
transistor (“Ignition IGBT”) business, which business generated
less than $25 million in revenue during fiscal year 2015. In
satisfaction of this requirement, ON Semiconductor announced today
that it has entered into a definitive agreement with respect to the
divestiture of the Ignition IGBT business to Littelfuse, Inc.
(NASDAQ: LFUS) (“Littelfuse”) and has also entered into a separate
definitive agreement with Littelfuse to sell its transient voltage
suppression (“TVS”) diode and switching thyristor product lines,
for a combined $104 million in cash. No manufacturing assets will
be transferred by ON Semiconductor in connection with the
divestiture of the Ignition IGBT business or the sale of the TVS
and thyristor businesses, and both asset sales are expected to
close on August 29, 2016.
The completion of ON Semiconductor’s previously announced tender
offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Fairchild for $20.00 per share in cash remains
subject to certain customary terms and conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase, dated December 4, 2015, as amended (the
“Offer to Purchase”), and other related materials by which the
Offer is being made.
The condition to the Offer relating to the termination or
expiration of required waiting periods under the HSR Act has been
satisfied. The proposed FTC consent order is subject to public
comment for 30 days and to final approval by the FTC, although this
will not affect the parties’ ability to close the transaction when
all other conditions to closing have been satisfied.
