如前所述，Diodes将整合Greenock工厂和晶圆厂业务，包括将所有GFAB员工转移到Diodes。此外，作为多年晶圆供应协议的一部分，当TI转移到其他晶圆厂时，Diodes将继续从GFAB制造TI的模拟产品。工厂占地318,782平方英尺，月产能为21666片约当8英寸晶圆（或256000个等效8寸光罩层）。

“我们很高兴能够成功完成此项收购，并期待它会立即增值，”Diodes的总裁兼首席执行官Keh-Shew Lu博士说道。“此次GFAB的收购与我们的战略计划很契合，尤其是我们在汽车和工业市场的扩展计划。同时，我们也期待GFAB强劲的工程技术和额外的晶圆产能，将有助于我们未来收入和利润的增长。随着收购的完成，现在我们将注意力转向提升GFAB的制造工艺和产能，以助于我们的战略计划实施。”

他继续说到：“我们欢迎GFAB团队的加入，另外我们还要感谢苏格兰政府，苏格兰国际发展局和印弗克莱德区（Inverclyde）委员会，他们在整个收购的过程中大力支持我们。”

苏格兰内阁经济部长兼议会议员Derek Mackay 在谈到此项收购完成时表示：“感谢Diodes，TI，我们的政府和机构，以及我们的合作伙伴，共同努力促成了此次交易的成功。此次收购使GFAB工厂开启了新的篇章，而且Diodes还保证工厂继续生产和雇员的就业。我们期待未来与Diodes有更好的合作。”

印弗克莱德区委员会负责人兼市议员Stephen McCabe表示：“TI和Diodes能达成协议，这是一个好消息。毕竟此次交易困难重重，能如此快的完成，充分体现了两家公司的良好信誉。多年以来，TI一直都是印弗克莱德区（Inverclyde）商界的中流砥柱，我们希望顺利过渡到Diodes后，将继续成为印弗克莱德区（Inverclyde）商界强劲和朝气的代表。”

苏格兰国际发展局总裁Paul Lewis也对收购完成情况发表评论：“我很高兴亲身参与这个项目，并最终取得积极的成果。我们也期待与Diodes在苏格兰的合作。“

Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analog and mixed-signal semiconductor markets, today announced it has completed the transaction to acquire Texas Instruments’ (“TI”) wafer fabrication facility and operation located in Greenock, Scotland (“GFAB”).

As previously announced, Diodes will integrate the Greenock facility and fab operations, including the transfer of all GFAB employees to Diodes. In addition, Diodes is extending offers for permanent employment to 18 contractors who have been supporting the GFAB operation. As part of a multi-year wafer supply agreement, Diodes will continue to manufacture TI’s Analog products from GFAB as TI transfers into its other wafer fabs. The 318,782 square-foot facility has a potential capacity of up to 21,666 wafer starts or 256,000 8” equivalent layers per month, depending on product mix.

“We are pleased to successfully complete this transaction and expect it to be immediately accretive,” said Diodes’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Keh-Shew Lu. “The GFAB acquisition is well aligned to our strategic growth initiatives, especially our expansion in the automotive and industrial markets. We are also excited by the opportunity to add GFAB’s strong engineering capability and additional wafer fab capacity and anticipate GFAB will play a significant role in achieving our revenue and profit dollar growth goals. With the close of the transaction, we will now turn our attention to aggressively ramping new wafer fab processes and capabilities at GFAB to support Diodes’ strategic plan.”

“In addition to welcoming the GFAB team, Diodes extends our continued appreciation to the Scottish Government, Scottish Development International and Inverclyde Council, who have supported us throughout this process,” said Dr. Lu.

Commenting on the closing of the transaction, Derek Mackay MSP, Scottish Government Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, said, “I am grateful to Diodes and Texas Instruments for the way in which they have worked with each other and the Scottish Government and our agencies and partners to reach this successful conclusion. The acquisition of GFAB marks a new and exciting chapter for the plant, which will see continued production and employment in Greenock under Diodes. We look forward to working with Diodes for many years to come.”

Inverclyde Council Leader, Councillor Stephen McCabe, said, “It is excellent news that the deal has been agreed upon between Texas Instruments and Diodes. These deals can be complex and difficult, and it is to the credit of both companies that it has been concluded so quickly. Texas Instruments has been a strong and active part of the business community in Inverclyde for many years, and we hope that the smooth transition to Diodes will now see them become as much of an active feature of the strong and vibrant Inverclyde business sector.”

Also commenting on the completion of the acquisition, Paul Lewis, managing director of Scottish Development International, said, “It gives me great pleasure to see this project reach a positive outcome and secure these important jobs on-site. We look forward to working with Diodes as it establishes its presence in Scotland.”
