Rhea-AI Filing Summary

indie Semiconductor (INDI) entered a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement to sell its entire 34.38% equity interest in Wuxi indie Microelectronics to United Faith Auto-Engineering for RMB 960,834,355 (approximately $135 million based on the October 24, 2025 exchange rate), payable in cash to its subsidiary Ay Dee Kay LLC, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals in China.

The agreement includes customary representations and covenants that do not survive closing and no post-closing indemnification. Closing conditions include United Faith shareholder approval and approvals from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The agreement may be terminated, including if required approvals are not obtained within 18 months of signing.

Wuxi accounted for 42% and 38% of consolidated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and about 10% of operating expenses for each period; as of June 30, 2025, Wuxi represented roughly 10% of total assets and 2% of total liabilities. When criteria are met, Wuxi will be reported as discontinued operations; upon completion, indie will deconsolidate Wuxi and recognize a pre-tax gain or loss.

Insights

Corporate transactions analyst

Large divestiture announced; completion depends on PRC approvals.

indie Semiconductor agreed to sell its 34.38% stake in Wuxi for $135,000,000 (RMB 960,834,355) in cash to United Faith. The deal requires United Faith shareholder consent and multiple PRC market/regulatory approvals, creating execution contingencies before proceeds are realized.

Wuxi contributed 42% of consolidated revenue in the quarter and 38% in the first half ended June 30, 2025, but about 10% of operating expenses. That mix suggests revenue deconsolidation will materially change reported scale, while expense impact is smaller in the provided period. The agreement provides no survival of reps and no post-closing indemnity, which limits post-close recourse.

On meeting accounting “probable” criteria, Wuxi will be classified as discontinued operations. After closing, indie will deconsolidate Wuxi and record a pre-tax gain or loss. A termination right exists if approvals are not obtained within 18 months of signing, so timing depends on approval progress.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 27, 2025, indie Semiconductor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“indie”), through its subsidiary Ay Dee Kay LLC, a California limited liability company (“ADK”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with United Faith Auto-Engineering Co., Ltd., a publicly-listed company in the People’s Republic of China (“United Faith”), pursuant to which indie has agreed to sell ADK’s entire 34.38% of the outstanding equity interest in Wuxi indie Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese entity (“Wuxi”) to United Faith (the “Asset Sale”). The entry into a non-binding agreement with United Faith regarding the Asset Sale was previously announced by indie in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 19, 2025.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions and receipt of all required regulatory approvals, United Faith will purchase all of ADK’s outstanding equity interest in Wuxi for a total gross transaction consideration of RMB 960,834,355, or approximately $135 million (based on the exchange rate in effect on October 24, 2025), payable in cash to ADK, net of applicable local taxes.

The Asset Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants. The representations and warranties of parties under the Asset Purchase Agreement will not survive closing, and there is no post-closing indemnification arrangement for breaches of representations, warranties or covenants. The Asset Purchase Agreement’s covenants include obligations of (i) ADK to assist Wuxi to maintain its ordinary course of business operations during the period between signing the Asset Purchase Agreement and closing the Asset Sale, (ii) United Faith to use reasonable best efforts to obtain its shareholder approval of the purchase of all of the outstanding equity of Wuxi (the “Whole Transaction”), (iii) both ADK and United Faith to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Wuxi to prepare documents and make all filings necessary to complete the Asset Sale, and (iv) both parties to register the Asset Sale and the Whole Transaction with the relevant authorities, as may be applicable.

The Asset Purchase Agreement also contains customary closing conditions, including (i) receipt of shareholder approval of the Whole Transaction by United Faith’s shareholders and (ii) the receipt of all required regulatory approvals of the Whole Transaction, including approval by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

The Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated prior to closing (i) upon mutual agreement by both parties, (ii) by ADK, should United Faith fail to obtain its shareholder approval of the Whole Transaction, (iii) by ADK, should United Faith fail to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals for the Whole Transaction within eighteen (18) months of the signing date, (iv) by either party, should the other party materially breach any representation, warranty or covenant in the Asset Purchase Agreement; and (v) by either party, upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure (as such term is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) which effects continue for thirty (30) days or more, rendering a party unable to continue performance under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Asset Sale has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both indie and United Faith.

During the period between entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement and prior to closing the Asset Sale, the divestiture of Wuxi will meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations when indie determines that it is probable that United Faith will receive all necessary local regulatory approvals within the requisite period under applicable accounting guidance. Upon the completion of this potential Asset Sale, indie will fully deconsolidate the financial results of Wuxi and in return, recognize a pre-tax gain/loss, which would be presented in indie’s then Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, Wuxi accounted for 42% and 38% of indie’s consolidated revenue, respectively, and approximately 10% of indie’s consolidated operating expenses for each period. Further, as of June 30, 2025, Wuxi accounted for approximately 10% and 2% of indie’s consolidated total assets and total liabilities, respectively. Following any deconsolidation of Wuxi, indie will no longer include any financial results of Wuxi in its future consolidated financial statements. 

indie cannot assure you regarding the timing for the completion of the Asset Sale, that the closing conditions of the Asset Sale, including, but not limited to, approval of the Whole Transaction by United Faith shareholders and receipt of all required regulatory approvals, will be satisfied, or that the Asset Sale will be completed.

The foregoing descriptions of the Asset Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current Report”) and is hereby incorporated into this report by reference. The Asset Purchase Agreement governs the contractual rights between the parties in relation to the Asset Sale. The Asset Purchase Agreement has been filed as an exhibit hereto to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Asset Sale and is not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about indie in its public reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, the Asset Purchase Agreement is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, disclosure regarding any facts and circumstances relating to indie.
