In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, Renesas America and the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2026 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer agreed to file a registration statement (or a prospectus supplement to an effective shelf registration statement) (each, a "Registration Statement") with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable following the written request of Renesas America for purposes of registering the resale of the Acquired Shares, and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the date that all Acquired Shares covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been resold or (ii) may be resold without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration Rights Agreement also entitles Renesas America to require the Issuer to effect underwritten offerings of the Acquired Shares from time to time, subject to a limit of three (3) underwritten offerings during any 18-month period. The Registration Statement shall be automatically effective upon filing, if permitted under the Securities Act; otherwise, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the seventy-fifth (75th) calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies the Issuer that it will "review" such Registration Statement and (ii) the fifth (5th) business day after the date the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review.
Also pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Renesas America agreed that for a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date, Renesas America (a) may not transfer any Shares without first providing the Issuer at least fifteen (15) days' prior written notice and (b) may not transfer, in any single transaction or in any rolling forty-five (45) day period, more than thirty-three percent (33%) of the total number of Acquired Shares.
The Registration Rights Agreement further provides that, upon or as promptly as practicable following the Issuer's receipt of the Appointment Notice (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), Hidetoshi Shibata, the current Chief Executive Officer of Renesas Electronics Corporation, shall be appointed by the Board to serve as a Class I director of the Board (in such capacity, the "Renesas CEO Director") until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer after the Closing Date at which the Class I directors of the Board are elected. Unless waived by the Renesas CEO Director, the Renesas CEO Director will be entitled to cash and equity compensation in the same manner and to the same extent as other non-employee directors of the Board.
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.4 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
Except as otherwise set forth in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships between the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer. | |
