Wingtech Technology, the Chinese owner of Nexperia, said it had received no meaningful reply after reaching out to the Dutch chipmaker’s headquarters for talks.
“It is deeply regrettable and puzzling that, despite our utmost sincerity, the Dutch side of Nexperia has not made any substantive response to our proposal for communication,” Wingtech said on Sunday.
The Shanghai-listed company did not disclose the details of its outreach efforts, but urged Nexperia’s headquarters to present “a constructive solution with goodwill” to restore Wingtech’s legitimate control over the chipmaker and fully reinstate the Chinese company’s shareholder rights.
Nexperia did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.
The statement came two days after Wingtech said it would use all possible legal means to regain control of Nexperia and pressure the Dutch government to take further action.
These developments signal that Wingtech is asserting its demands following the Dutch government’s decision to pause its intervention in Nexperia, although a ruling by the Dutch Enterprise Chamber on October 7 – which stripped Wingtech of shareholder control and ousted Nexperia CEO Zhang Xuezheng – remains in effect.
Nexperia, operating under interim CEO Stefan Tilger, said last week that it welcomed the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs’ move to temporarily suspend its executive order.
Following the Dutch move, China lifted its restrictions on chip exports from Nexperia’s Dongguan factory, which was initiated after the Netherlands seized control of the firm’s head office on September 30.
Beijing’s curbs, introduced on October 4, had jeopardised the stability of chip supplies to global carmakers.
The outcome of Wingtech’s efforts to reclaim control of Nexperia, which generates most of the Chinese company’s revenues and profits, remains uncertain.
Wingtech recently named Sophie Shen Xinjia, an experienced general counsel and a Columbia Law School graduate, as president, indicating that the company was preparing for a legal battle.
Legal experts said they anticipated a protracted fight, as Wingtech sought to challenge the Dutch court’s decision, the Post reported.
