中国威能科技在起诉耐思派公司索赔 12 亿美元后股价涨停   2026-05-25

 

Shares of Wingtech Technology surged by their daily trading limit after the Chinese company filed a lawsuit in China against its Dutch chipmaking subsidiary Nexperia and five other entities, seeking damages of 8 billion yuan (US$1.2 billion) and requesting the court to restore its control over the unit.

 

Wingtech closed 5 percent higher at 17.01 yuan (US$2.52) a share on May 25. The broader Shanghai stock market rose 1 percent. Due to the Dutch government's restrictions on the firm's control over Nexperia, an audit could not verify its overseas assets and scope of the consolidated financial statements, so the bourse has implemented Special Treatment on its stock since May 6, warning of delisting risks and therefore reducing its daily price fluctuation range to 5 percent.

 

Wingtech filed a lawsuit with the Dongguan Intermediate People's Court in Guangdong province regarding the infringement liability dispute with the defendants, which are Nexperia, Chief Legal Officer Ruben Lichtenberg, Chief Operating Officer Achim Kempe, Chief Financial Officer Stefan Tilger, as well as two affiliated firms, the Jiaxing-based company announced late on May 22. The court has accepted the case.

 

The defendants' discriminatory actions have caused the plaintiff irreparable and significant losses, Wingtech stressed, adding that it is requesting the court to order the defendants to compensate for the damages in accordance with China's Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law of the People's Republic and other relevant laws and regulations.

 

Since the Dutch government intervened in Nexperia's operations in early October, Wingtech's stock price has plunged by about 63 percent, resulting in its market capitalization shrinking by about CNY36.7 billion (USD5.4 billion).

 

Wingtech also requests the court to order the defendants to immediately cease the infringing actions of executing or assisting in the execution of discriminatory restrictive measures, including the withdrawal of local judicial litigation in the Netherlands and the cancellation of the ministerial administrative order issued by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate last September under the Goods Availability Act.

 

If the defendants refuse to comply with the relevant requests, Wingtech has applied to the court to order the unconditional transfer of shares in Nexperia and its affiliated subsidiaries to it.

 

Wingtech will "exhaust all legal means to restore full control over Nexperia and protect the rights and interests of investors," the company stressed.

 

Wingtech bought Nexperia for over CNY30 billion (USD4.4 billion) to serve as its primary semiconductor asset in 2018. However, the EZK issued a ministerial order at the end of last September, followed by the Dutch Enterprise Court announcing the implementation of emergency measures, restricting its control.

 

Although the Dutch government later announced the suspension of the ministerial order, the Enterprise Court's ruling remains in effect.

 

Wingtech previously condemned the Dutch government for implementing a global operational freeze on Nexperia under the unfounded pretext of "national security," calling it an excessive intervention based on geopolitical bias.

 

Wingtech's net loss topped CNY8.7 billion last year, primarily due to the restricted control over Nexperia, which resulted in significant investment and asset impairment losses, it said in a financial report released at the end of last month.
