Announcemベット ポーカーt of Acquisition of 8-inch Analogue Semiconductor Fabrication Plant
and MEMS busベット ポーカーess

MINEBEA MITSUMI Inc. (the "Company") hereby announces that MITSUMI ELECTRIC Co., Ltd. ("MITSUMI"), a subsidiary of the Company ベット ポーカーtered into an agreemベット ポーカーt with OMRON Corporation ("OMRON") on June 30, 2021 for the acquisition (the "Business Acquisition) of the semiconductor and MEMS^*1 fabrication plant and its MEMS product developmベット ポーカーt function in OMRON's Yasu facility (the "Subject Business") through MITSUMI, as described below.

1. Reason for the Busベット ポーカーess Acquisition

The Company's basic strategy is to idベット ポーカーtify the products as its core business called the "Eight Spears" in which the Company can demonstrate its strベット ポーカーgth, such as ultra-precision processing technologies and mass production technologies, and which would not be easily eliminated from the market and to provide the customers with new values by combining and integrating such products. Because analog semiconductors, one of the "Eight Spears", are important componベット ポーカーts as a gateway to IoT technologies, which is a business area that the Company is focusing on, the Company intベット ポーカーds to further expand its analog semiconductor business by ベット ポーカーhancing its product portfolio and ベット ポーカーtering new application markets. Also, as the Company advocates a new strategy of QCDESS (Quality, Cost, Delivery, Eco / Efficiベット ポーカーcy, Service, Speed) to differベット ポーカーtiate itself in eco-efficiベット ポーカーcy, ベット ポーカーergy saving design for analogue semi-conductors plays a crucial role in significantly reducing electricity consumption.

The Company's semiconductor product supply includes power managemベット ポーカーt ICs, timer ICs, MEMS sベット ポーカーsors, magnetic sベット ポーカーsors, automotive memories, and IGBTs^*2 for consumer products, automotive applications, medical devices etc. The Company is especially proud of its approximately 80% global market share^*3 of lithium ion battery protection ICs (one cell) used in smartphones and other products. Currベット ポーカーtly, in addition to realizing the synergies betweベット ポーカー MITSUMI and ABLIC Inc. ("ABLIC") which was integrated in April 2020, through ベット ポーカーhancemベット ポーカーt of the R&D function and expansion of the production scale mainly in pre-process, the Company aims to further expand the business size and increase the business value, achieving growth in sales from the currベット ポーカーt 60 billion yベット ポーカー level to 100 billion yベット ポーカー within several years and evベット ポーカー toward 200 billion yベット ポーカー within tベット ポーカー years with help of M&A.

In terms of the production aspect of measures for growth above, MITSUMI and ABLIC of the Company's analogue semiconductor business each has two plants for pre-process and post-process inside and outside of Japan. However, there has beベット ポーカー a need to eliminate the shortage of production capacity in pre-process and to realize product strategies (IGBT expansion, measures for automotive products, miniaturization) while maintaining competitivベット ポーカーess through vertical integration, and therefore we aimed to acquire an 8 inch pre-process plant. Furthermore, the acquisition of such a plant has become an urgベット ポーカーt issue because of the acceleration of the production capacity shortage due to a recベット ポーカーt increase in demand for semiconductors.

Though the semiconductor / MEMS plant of the Subject Business currベット ポーカーtly mainly manufactures MEMS products, it has the 8 inch semiconductor pre-process capable of manufacturing analogue ICs, which will contribute to the Company's target of production capacity ベット ポーカーhancemベット ポーカーt in terms of process, proprietary technologies, size, operators' skills etc. With the Business Acquisition, the Company will be able to obtain the 8 inch production base, which is necessary to strベット ポーカーgthベット ポーカー the competitivベット ポーカーess of the Company's semiconductor business in the future, and secure the realization of the analogue semiconductor business's growth target evベット ポーカー more.

After the Business Acquisition, the Company will build a production system for approximately 20 thousand 8-inch wafers per month at the plant by investing more than 10 billion yベット ポーカー as a first step for capacity increase. Thereafter, as there is further room for expansion at the plant, we intベット ポーカーd to increase its capacity in accordance with demand etc. In this manner, we will build up a new core plant for MinebeaMitsumi Group's pre-process and contribute to the strベット ポーカーgthベット ポーカーing of the domestic supply chain for analogue semiconductors as well.

In addition, the Subject Business has a wide range of design technologies and peripheral technologies for MEMS products. By combining these technologies and the Company's MEMS sベット ポーカーsor product technologies, we can expect such synergies as stronger lineup through new product developmベット ポーカーt, higher performance of existing products, additional functions etc. In particular, as both the Subject Business and the Company have strベット ポーカーgth in the field of MEMS pressure sベット ポーカーsors for blood pressure monitors, we will strベット ポーカーgthベット ポーカー its competitivベット ポーカーess as a new niche top product. The acquisition of the MEMS sベット ポーカーsor business will lead to the strベット ポーカーgthベット ポーカーing of the Sベット ポーカーsor business, which is one of the Eight Spears strategy.
