TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723, “Renesas Electronics”), a premier provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced that, under the approval of Renesas Electronics’ Board of Directors, it will reorganize its manufacturing-related group companies in Japan by means of absorption-type separations and absorption-type mergers, with Renesas Electronics and its subsidiaries as the affected parties (the “reorganization”)
1. Objectives of the reorganization of the manufacturing-related group companies
As announced in the press releases, “Renesas Electronics Shows Direction of Renesas Group” dated August 2, 2013, and “Renesas Electronics Issues New Business Direction Presentation ‘Reforming Renesas’” dated October 30, 2013, with an aim of realizing a company that excels in the global arena and contributes to all aspects of society, Renesas Electronics is implementing a reform plan, to be achieved by promoting growth strategies while pursuing profitability with a two-digit operating profit ratio as its target for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017.
As part of this effort, the semiconductor manufacturing business of the Renesas Group is moving forward with reforms with a consistent focus on profitability and promotion of autonomous management as its hallmarks. Specifically, the semiconductor manufacturing business is undergoing structural reforms based on (1) boosting production efficiency, (2) building a flexible manufacturing system to respond to rapid market changes, and (3) maintaining and continuing in-house plants with advanced technologies and cost competitiveness.
In line with these policies, the semiconductor manufacturing business, etc. at the front-end and back-end manufacturing sites will undergo consolidation and the reorganization of (manufacturing-related) group companies, with Renesas Electronics and its subsidiaries in Japan as the affected parties. The goals of this undertaking are speeding up decision-making by simplifying and improving the efficiency of the organization, uniformity of operation and overall optimization through sharing of technology and expertise as well as establishment of common benchmarks and regulations, clarification of responsibility and authority as well as a shift in consciousness toward a focus on profitability through the setting up of independent companies, and further improvement of QCD through specialization in manufacturing tasks.
The reorganization aims to boost production efficiency to the utmost and, while maintaining a high production ratio, boost cost competitiveness through overall optimization and improved efficiency, thereby realizing a manufacturing system capable of generating profits.
2. Outline of the reorganization of manufacturing-related group companies
[Reorganization of front-end production business]
As shown in figure-1 below, the reorganization to be implemented on April 1, 2014, will involve the front-end production business of Renesas Electronics, the front-end production businesses of its subsidiaries in Japan. It will involve absorption-type separations and absorption-type mergers, with Renesas Kansai Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (Renesas Kansai Semiconductor) as the successor company. The specifics are as follows:
① In an absorption-type separation, the crystal business of Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor, Inc. (Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor) will be spun off and absorbed by Renesas Kofu Semiconductor, Co., Ltd. (Renesas Kofu Semiconductor), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor (absorption-type separation ①).
② After the implementation of ①, all the shares of Renesas Kofu Semiconductor will be spun off from Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor and absorbed by Renesas Naka Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (Renesas Naka Semiconductor) in an absorption-type separation (absorption-type separation ②). As a result, Renesas Kofu Semiconductor will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Renesas Naka Semiconductor.
③ After the implementation of ②, Renesas Naka Semiconductor, Renesas Semiconductor Engineering Corp. (Renesas Semiconductor Engineering), and Renesas Kofu Semiconductor will undergo an absorption-type merger, with Renesas Naka Semiconductor as the surviving company and Renesas Semiconductor Engineering and Renesas Kofu Semiconductor as the absorbed companies (absorption-type merger ①).
④ After the implementation of ① to ③, the semiconductor front-end production business of Renesas Semiconductor Kyushu Yamaguchi Co., Ltd. (Renesas Semiconductor Kyushu Yamaguchi) will be spun off and absorbed by Renesas Kansai Semiconductor In an absorption-type separation, (absorption-type separation ③).
⑤ After the implementation of ① to ④, Renesas Kansai Semiconductor and Renesas Naka Semiconductor will undergo an absorption-type merger, with Renesas Kansai Semiconductor as the surviving company and Renesas Naka Semiconductor as the absorbed company (absorption-type merger ②).
⑥ After the implementation of ⑤, the semiconductor front-end production business of Renesas Electronics will be spun off and absorbed by Renesas Kansai Semiconductor in an absorption-type separation (absorption-type separation ④).
⑦ After the implementation of ⑥, Renesas Kansai Semiconductor and Renesas Yamagata Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (Renesas Yamagata Semiconductor) will undergo an absorption-type merger, with Renesas Kansai Semiconductor as the surviving company and Renesas Yamagata Semiconductor as the absorbed company (absorption-type merger ③).
⑧ After the implementation of ⑦, the company name of Renesas Kansai Semiconductor will be changed to Renesas Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and the address of the head office will be changed to Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Pref.
[Reorganization of back-end production business]
As shown in figure-1 below, the reorganization to be implemented on April 1, 2014, will involve the back-end production business of Renesas Electronics and the back-end production businesses of its domestic subsidiaries, etc. It will involve an absorption-type separation and absorption-type mergers, with Renesas Semiconductor Kyushu Yamaguchi as the successor company. The specifics are as follows:
⑨ After the implementation of ②, Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor; Renesas Yanai Semiconductor, Inc. (Renesas Yanai Semiconductor), Haguro Electronics Co., Ltd. (Haguro Electronics), and Hokkai Electronics Co., Ltd. (Hokkai Electronics), which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor; and Renesas Kyushu Semiconductor Corp. (Renesas Kyushu Semiconductor), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Renesas Electronics, will undergo an absorption-type merger, with Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor as the surviving company and Haguro Electronics, Renesas Yanai Semiconductor, Hokkai Electronics, and Renesas Kyushu Semiconductor as the absorbed companies (absorption-type merger ④).
⑩ After the implementation of ⑥, the semiconductor back-end production business of Renesas Electronics will be spun off and absorbed by Renesas Semiconductor Kyushu Yamaguchi in an absorption-type separation (absorption-type separation ⑤).
⑪ After the implementation of ⑨ and ⑩, Renesas Semiconductor Kyushu Yamaguchi and Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor will undergo an absorption-type merger, with Renesas Semiconductor Kyushu Yamaguchi as the surviving company and Renesas Northern Japan Semiconductor as the absorbed company (absorption-type merger ⑤).
⑫ After the implementation of ⑪, the company name of Renesas Semiconductor Kyushu Yamaguchi will be changed to Renesas Semiconductor Package & Test Solutions Co., Ltd., and the address of the head office will be changed to Takasaki, Gunma Pref.

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements in this press release with respect to the plans, strategies and financial outlook of Renesas Electronics and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “we”) are forward-looking statements involving risks and uncertainties. We caution you in advance that actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements due to several important factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions in our markets, which are primarily Japan, North America, Asia, and Europe; demand for, and competitive pricing pressure on, products and services in the marketplace; ability to continue to win acceptance of products and services in these highly competitive markets; and fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly between the yen and the U.S. dollar. Among other factors, downturn of the world economy; deteriorating financial conditions in world markets, or deterioration in domestic and overseas stock markets, may cause actual results to differ from the projected results forecast.
