Regulation FD Disclosure
Sale of Wolfspeed to Infineon Update
As previously announced, Cree reached an agreement to sell the Wolfspeed business to Infineon Technologies AG in July 2016. The parties are continuing to work together to obtain the customarily required regulatory approvals in various jurisdictions, including foreign and domestic antitrust approvals, as well as CFIUS approval. The parties have submitted their CFIUS filing to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, and expect the statutory CFIUS review period to commence in the near term.>Cree continues to believe that the likelihood of closing the transaction remains unchanged, and Cree and Infineon target closing the transaction in February 2017.
The information set forth above includes forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Actual results, including with respect to the estimated completion date for the Wolfspeed-Infineon transaction, could differ materially due to a number of factors, including but not limited to the risk that the sale of our Wolfspeed business to Infineon may be delayed or may not occur; the ability to obtain regulatory approval or the possibility that such regulatory approval may result in the imposition of conditions that could cause the parties to abandon the Wolfspeed transaction; the risk that one or more of the conditions to closing of the Wolfspeed transaction may not be satisfied and other factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2016, and subsequent reports filed with the SEC. These forward-looking statements represent Cree’s judgment as of the date of this report. Except as required under the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, Cree disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this report if our views later change.
