Semtech Completes Divestiture of High Reliability Discrete Diodes and Assemblies

Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading global supplier of high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced today it has completed the divestiture of its high reliability discrete diodes and assemblies business to Micross Components, Inc. for $30 million in an all-cash transaction. Fiscal year 2022 revenue for this business was approximately $14 million. All employees will be retained by Micross Components and continue to support the future of the business. Additional details regarding the impact of this transaction will be discussed in Semtech's Q1 fiscal year 2023 earnings call.

Mohan Maheswaran, Semtech's president and chief executive officer, stated, "The divestiture of our legacy high reliability discrete diode and assemblies business is consistent with our practice to exit non-strategic businesses that do not align with our Smarter Planet initiatives. We believe that this mostly defense and space business will fit well with the current Micross portfolio and wish the teams continued success with the profitable business we built together."

This transaction was supported by KPMG Corporate Finance LLC, O'Melveny & Myers LLP and Pérez Correa, González y Asociados, S.C.
