Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On May 9, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), Chongqing Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (the “JV Company”), a joint venture subsidiary of Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (the “Company”), entered into a lease finance agreement and a security agreement (the “Agreements”) with YinHai Leasing Company and China Import/Export Bank (the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the Agreements, the Lenders agree to provide an aggregate of RMB 400,000,000, or $62.76 million based on the currency exchange rate between RMB and U.S. Dollars on the Effective Date, of financing to the JV Company (the “Lease Financing”). In exchange for the Lease Financing, the JV Company agrees to transfer title of its assembly and testing equipment to the Lenders, and the Lenders will lease such equipment to the JV Company under a five-year lease arrangement, pursuant to which the Company will make quarterly lease payments to the Lenders consisting of principal and interest based on a repayment schedule mutually agreed by the parties. The interest under the Lease Financing will accrue based on the China Base Rate multiplied by 1.15, or 5.4625% on the Effective Date. The JV Company also agrees to pay an annual leasing fees to the Lenders equal to approximately $0.64 million and a security deposit of $0.78 million prior to the commencement of the lease. Under the Agreements, at the end of the five-year lease term, the Lenders agree to sell such equipment back to the JV Company for a nominal amount (RMB 1). The JV Company’s obligations under the Lease Financing are secured by the land and building owned by the JV Company (the “Collateral”). The proceeds from the Lease Financing will be used primarily for the acquisition and installation of the 12” fabrication equipment and other expenses of the JV Company relating to the completion of the fabrication facility located in Chongqing.
The Agreements contain customary representation, warranties and covenants, including restrictions on the transfer of the Collateral. In addition, the Agreements provide that if the Company does not make an additional $25.00 million of capital contribution to the JV Company within three months of the Effective Date, the Lenders are entitled to receive repayments of all outstanding principal and interest under the Lease Financing, plus certain penalties. The Agreements also contain customary events of default, including but are not limited to, failure to make payments and breach of material terms under the Agreements. The Agreements include certain customary closing conditions, including the payment of deposit by the JV Company.
The foregoing description is a summary and qualified in its entirety by the Agreements, copies of which the Company intends to file as exhibits to its next periodic report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
