The STAR Market Daily News reported on December 18 (by reporter Wu Xuguang) that after VeriSilicon announced the termination of its issuance of shares and cash payment for the acquisition of 97.0070% equity in Nuclei System Technology along with the associated fundraising plan, the company held an investor briefing today (December 18) to explain the termination of this major asset restructuring.
Regarding market concerns about strategic gap compensation, RISC-V field layout, stock price stabilization, and M&A progress, the company’s founder, chairman, and president Wayne Dai, as well as director, board secretary, and senior vice president of human resources and administration Shi Wenli, provided corresponding responses. They stated that the termination of this M&A restructuring would not affect the normal operations of the company, and future efforts will focus on deepening diversified cooperation to strengthen the company’s RISC-V field layout.
RISC-V Business Layout Plan Remains Unchanged
On December 13, VeriSilicon issued an announcement stating that the company recently received notices from the management of Nuclei System Technology and the counterparty regarding the termination of this transaction. On December 11, the board of directors convened and reviewed the proposal to terminate the transaction. The company stated that, following comprehensive and prudent research, it agreed to terminate this transaction. This matter will not adversely affect the company’s normal business operations or production activities, nor will it harm the interests of the company and all shareholders, particularly small and medium shareholders.
Regarding the specific reasons for the failure of this M&A restructuring, investors raised three consecutive questions to the company: “What were the specific points of disagreement between the two parties?” “Will Nuclei System Technology need to compensate the company?” “Why did the two sides not establish basic consensus at the outset of determining the acquisition intention?”
However, VeriSilicon did not respond to the aforementioned related questions.
As for the impact of the termination of this transaction, what investors are most concerned about is how to address the planned strategic gap in the “core processor IP + CPU IP” full-stack heterogeneous computing landscape that was originally intended to be completed through the acquisition.
