Coherent's Silicon Carbide Semiconductor 해시 게임 바카라 to Receive Billion in Investments From Denso and Mitsubishi Electric

• Coherent completes its previously announced strategic review of its silicon carbide 해시 게임 바카라 and plans to operate the 해시 게임 바카라 as an independent subsidiary
• DENSO and Mitsubishi Electric will each invest 0 million for a 12.5% non-controlling interest in the silicon carbide 해시 게임 바카라
• 해시 게임 바카라 to enter into long-term supply agreements with DENSO and Mitsubishi Electric to support their 150 mm and 200 mm substrate and epitaxial wafer demand

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a global leader in materials, networking, and lasers, today announced that DENSO CORPORATION and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation have agreed to invest an aggregate billion in its silicon carbide 해시 게임 바카라 (the “해시 게임 바카라”). The transaction results from the strategic review process announced in May 2023 for the 해시 게임 바카라.

Under the terms of the transaction, DENSO and Mitsubishi Electric will each invest 0 million in exchange for a 12.5% non-controlling ownership interest in the 해시 게임 바카라, with Coherent owning the remaining 75%. Prior to the completion of the transaction, Coherent will separate and contribute the 해시 게임 바카라 to a subsidiary. Coherent will control and operate the 해시 게임 바카라, which will continue to be led by Sohail Khan, Coherent’s Executive Vice President, New Ventures & Wide-Bandgap Electronics Technologies.

In connection with the transaction, the 해시 게임 바카라 will enter into long-term supply arrangements with DENSO and Mitsubishi Electric that support their demand for 150 mm and 200 mm silicon carbide (“SiC”) substrates and epitaxial wafers.

“We are excited to expand our strategic relationships with DENSO and Mitsubishi Electric to capitalize on the significant demand for silicon carbide,” said Dr. Vincent D. Mattera, Jr., Chair and CEO, Coherent. “After a thorough review of strategic alternatives for our Silicon Carbide 해시 게임 바카라, we determined that the creation of a separate subsidiary and the strategic investments from DENSO and Mitsubishi Electric, two leaders in SiC power devices and modules, is the best path forward to maximize shareholder value and position the 해시 게임 바카라 for long-term growth. The investments from our strategic partners will be used to accelerate our capacity expansion plans and help sustain our leadership position, while ensuring the development of a robust and scalable supply for the rapidly growing market for SiC-based power electronics, largely driven by the explosive growth of the global electric vehicle market.”

“We are very pleased to establish a strategic relationship with 해시 게임 바카라, which has a world-class track record in SiC wafer manufacturing.  Through this investment, we will secure a stable procurement of SiC wafers, which are critical for BEVs, and contribute to the realization of a carbon-neutral society by promoting the widespread adoption of BEVs,” said Shinnosuke Hayashi, President & COO, Representative Member of the Board at DENSO.

Dr. Masayoshi Takemi, Executive Officer, Group President, Semiconductor & Device of Mitsubishi Electric, said: “Demand for SiC power semiconductors is expected to grow exponentially as the global market for electric vehicles increases in line with the transition to a decarbonized world. To capitalize on this trend, we have decided to expand our SiC power semiconductor production capacity, including by constructing a 200 mm wafer plant in the Shisui area of Kumamoto Prefecture. We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with 해시 게임 바카라 by investing in this new SiC company, which will provide us with a stable supply of high-quality SiC substrates essential for our increased supply capacity.”

Market estimates indicate that the SiC total addressable market will grow from billion in 2022 to billion in 2030, representing a 28% 해시 게임 바카라mpound annual growth rate.

The transaction builds on 해시 게임 바카라’s more than two decades of demonstrated leadership in SiC materials. In recent years, the Company has aggressively invested to scale its manufacturing of 150 mm and 200 mm substrates to address this underserved market.

Over the past two years, Coherent has invested aggressively in capital and R&D for SiC as part of its 10-year, billion commitment announced in August 2021. The closing of this billion combined investment into the 해시 게임 바카라 will accelerate the Company’s capital plans in the coming years. Specifically, the investment will fund the manufacturing expansion of the 해시 게임 바카라’s substrates and epitaxial wafers and, in combination with the concurrent supply agreements, enhance its position in the market.

The transaction will enable Coherent to increase its available free cash flow to provide greater financial and operational flexibility to execute its capital allocation priorities, as it expects the aggregate billion investment will be used to fund future capital expenditure requirements of the 해시 게임 바카라.

When incorporated into electric vehicles and industrial infrastructure, SiC-based power electronics have demonstrated the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and accelerate the transition to a cleaner and more energy efficient world. Through the rapidly growing demand for SiC power devices, 해시 게임 바카라, DENSO, and Mitsubishi Electric will accelerate their contribution to sustainable energy consumption and the decarbonization of society.
