Note 20 – Acquisitions and Divestitures

Wafer Fabrication Plant in South Portland, Maine

On June 3, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of onsemi's wafer fabrication facility and operations located in South Portland, Maine ("SPFAB"). SPFAB was purchased to provide additional 200mm wafer fabrication capacity for analog products to accelerate the Company's growth initiatives in the automotive and industrial end markets. This US-based facility, together with the Company's existing wafer fabrication facilities in Asia and Europe, will further enhance the Company's global manufacturing operations. The Company recorded the purchase of SPFAB as a business combination. Total consideration paid by the Company was $80.4 million and was funded by existing cash and advances under the revolving portion of our U.S. Credit Agreement. The SPFAB facility and assets were wholly acquired, and there is no remaining minority interest. The goodwill is assigned to the standard semiconductor products segment and will not be tax deductible. The Company also incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.5 million that were recognized in selling, general and administrative expense. The table below sets forth the fair value of the assets and liabilities recorded in the SPFAB acquisition and the corresponding line item in which the item is recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Due to a lack of data we are unable to provide historical financial pro forma data.

Privately Held Wafer Design Company

During July 2021, the Company acquired an interest in an early stage privately held fabless wafer design company by purchasing $10.0 million of preferred stock and a $5.0 million convertible promissory note. As the investment in preferred stock does not have a readily determinable fair value, it will be measured at cost less impairment, and adjusted to fair value if there are any observable price changes for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The carrying value of the investment at December 31, 2022 was $10.0 million with no observable price changes occurring during the period. The promissory note is convertible into additional preferred stock, has an interest rate of 3% and is due in July 2026.

Manufacturing Subsidiary Located in China

In December 2021, the Company closed a transaction to sell a manufacturing subsidiary in China for total consideration of approximately $41.5 million, which included a combination of cash and equity. The cash consideration consists of $15.2 million of agreed upon cash and a $23.3 million working capital adjustment while the equity is valued at $3.1 million, which increases the Company’s investment in the buyer to approximately 10%. The Company and the purchaser of the manufacturing facility have entered into an ongoing agreement in which the purchaser will continue to provide wafer -foundry services, on a preferential basis to the Company.

Management determined that the disposal group met the held-for-sale criteria and reclassified the carrying value of the disposal group to assets held-for-sale, which were previously included in prepaid expenses and other in the consolidated balance sheet. Upon closing of the transaction, Management derecognized the amounts previously classified as held-for-sale and recorded a gain on the sale of $9.5 million. The gain is recorded in other income in the Company's consolidated statement of income. Neither the buyer nor the manufacturing facility will be considered related parties after the transaction. The table below sets forth the major classes of assets and

liabilities that were previously classified as held-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheet and the gain recognized in other income on the consolidated statement of income:

Other Investment

In August 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to make an investment in Taiwan. The Company's investment is $5.4 million for 60% ownership of a company and is being consolidated into our consolidated financial statements. The purpose of the investment is to engage in the development of power modules for the automotive markets. The investment received Taiwan government approval in October 2021, and the Company made the $5.4 million payment in October 2021.

LSC Acquisition

On November 30, 2020, the Company closed its previously announced acquisition of LSC, a Taiwan-based supplier of “green” power-related discrete and analog semiconductor devices. The Company purchased LSC in order to include LSC’s “green” power-related semiconductor devices that are designed for power saving and low power dissipation to serve the power supply market, and to reacquire the 7,765,778 of the Company’s common shares owned by LSC, which was approximately 15% of our outstanding shares prior to the close of such acquisition. The reacquired shares were treated as a settlement of a pre-existing relationship and as a transaction separate and apart from the business combination along with the settlement of payables and receivables between the Company and LSC. The reacquired shares are included in treasury stock on the Company’s balance sheet. There was no gain or loss on the settlement of the payables and receivables between the Company and LSC.

The Company recorded the purchase of LSC as a business combination, with the Company owning 100% of LSC. LSC has been consolidated into the operations of the Company. The purchase price per the Share Swap Agreement was 42.50 TWD per outstanding LSC share. On November 30, 2020, the Company acquired the 307,371,139 outstanding shares of LSC for a total aggregate purchase price of approximately $453.4 million and total consideration of $154.0 million after adjustments for the settlement of pre-existing relationships. A portion of the LSC purchase price was funded by borrowings under the Company’s Credit Agreement.

The reacquired shares were treated as a settlement of a pre-existing relationship and as a transaction separate and apart from the business combination along with the settlement of payables and receivables between Diodes and LSC. There was no gain or loss on the settlement of the payables and receivables between the Company and LSC. The cash attributed to the reacquisition of the Diodes shares is presented within the financing section of the statement of cash flows.

The table below sets forth the fair value of the LSC assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on relative fair value at the date of acquisition, after measurement period adjustments, and the corresponding line item in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at the date of acquisition. During the period from January 1, 2021 through November 30, 2021, measurement period adjustments were made to inventories, property, plant and equipment, income tax payable, and accrued liabilities and other. During the period, the Company derecognized an estimated liability that was initially recognized on the opening balance sheet related to dividend payable accrual of approximately $12.8 million, reduced the previously estimated amount of a social insurance liability and an estimated information technology liability by $1.5 million, and recognized an additional income tax payable related to the reacquired shares in the amount of approximately $10.7 million. The adjustments to inventory and property, plant, and equipment were a result of refinements

to the preliminary fair value calculation in the amounts of $0.7 million and $4.8 million respectively. The Company also made adjustments to the preliminary deferred tax calculations as a result of the measurement period adjustments described above. U.S. GAAP permits companies to complete the final determination of the fair values during the measurement period following the acquisition date. The size and breadth of the LSC acquisition necessitated the use of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess a number of the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company engaged a third party valuation specialist to assist with the assessment of any intangible assets acquired as part of the LSC acquisition, and it was determined that there were no intangible assets as a result of the LSC acquisition. The table below sets forth the fair value of the assets and liabilities recorded in the acquisition and the corresponding line item in which the item is recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at the date of acquisition.

Savitech Acquisition

On February 5, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to invest up to approximately $14.2 million to acquire at least 51% of Savitech Corporation (“Savitech”), a fabless semiconductor design company located in Zhubei City, Taiwan. The Company made the investment in two tranches. The first tranche of $5.6 million, which provided the Company with a 33.6% ownership of Savitech, was made on March 4, 2020. The initial tranche was funded with cash on hand. The second tranche was also funded with cash on hand and paid in the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, in the amount of $8.5 million which increased the Company’s ownership to 53% of Savitech.

The Company recorded the purchase of Savitech as a business acquisition and consolidates Savitech into its operations, based on the voting model, with a non-controlling interest related to the interest the Company does not own in Savitech. The Company made its investment in Savitech in order to increase the Company’s integrated circuit business. Total purchase consideration recorded was $14.2

million. The goodwill will not be tax deductible. The Company also incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.1 million that were recognized in selling, general and administrative expense. The table below sets forth the fair value of the assets and liabilities recorded in the acquisition and the corresponding line item in which the item is recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet at the date of acquisition (in millions).
