Item 8.01. Other Events.
On August 27, 2011, Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (the "Company") announced that it intends to exercise an option to acquire certain assets associated with a 200mm wafer fabrication facility (the "Purchased Assets") from Integrated Device Technology, Inc. ("IDT"). Under the existing foundry service arrangement with IDT, the Company has an option to acquire the Purchased Assets for $26 million, and this option is exercisable by the Company between September 1, 2011 and November 15, 2011. IDT has previously granted this option to the Company in exchange for the Company entering into the foundry service arrangement and a cash deposit of $5.0 million, which will be used to reduce the $26 million total purchase price. The Company expects to exercise such option prior to the November 15, 2011 deadline. The acquisition is subject to the execution of a definitive asset purchase agreement with customary closing conditions between the Company and IDT. The Company currently expects to sign the asset purchase agreement by the end of calendar year 2011 and close the transaction prior to January 31, 2012.
On August 27, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing its intention to exercise the option to acquire the Purchased Assets, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
