We conduct business with the following related parties: Keylink International (B.V.I.) Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Keylink”), Nuvoton Technology Corporation (“Nuvoton”) and Jiyuan Crystal Photoelectric Frequency Technology Ltd. (“JCP”).

 

Keylink is a 5% joint venture partner in our Shanghai assembly and test facilities. We sell products to, and purchase inventory from, companies owned by Keylink. In addition, our subsidiaries in China lease their manufacturing facilities in Shanghai from, and subcontract a portion of our manufacturing process (metal plating and environmental services) to Keylink. We also pay a consulting fee to Keylink.

 

We purchase wafers from Nuvoton and our Chairman and CEO serves as a member of the Nuvoton board of directors. We purchase wafers from Nuvoton for use in our production process and consider our relationships Nuvoton to be mutually beneficial. We plan to continue our strategic alliance with Nuvoton. We have an agreement to purchase approximately $47.0 million of wafers from Nuvoton that ends in the fourth quarter of 2025.

 

JCP is an FCP manufacturing company from which we purchase material and in which we have made an equity investment. We account for using the equity method of accounting.
