On May 12, the Alpha & Omega announced the completion of its equity transfer agreement for the sale of its interest in its Chongqing, China-based joint venture, the company announced in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Under the transaction, Alpha & Omega Semiconductor Limited and its subsidiary, Alpha & Omega Semiconductor (Shanghai) Ltd., entered into an equity transfer agreement with SIMIC Holdings Co., Ltd. for the sale of the company’s approximately 20.3% of outstanding equity interest in its joint venture of power semiconductor packaging, testing, and 12-inch wafer fabrication facility located in Chongqing, China.
