Dutch Order Puts Nexperia Under Temporary Management, Freezing Wingtech Control

Wingtech reported the Dutch action in an exchange filing that cited national security.

Overview

  • Wingtech said in an October 13 filing to the Shanghai Stock Exchange that Nexperia is now under temporary external management in the Netherlands.
  • The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs ordered the measure, effectively pausing the Chinese parent’s control over the semiconductor maker.
  • Nexperia’s Dutch legal, finance and operations leaders petitioned the Amsterdam Enterprise Court on October 1 for an investigation and provisional measures.
  • The court suspended Wingtech chair Zhang Xuezheng, placed Yucheng Holdings’ Nexperia shares under third‑party management, and on October 7 installed an independent non‑executive director with decisive voting rights.
  • Wingtech criticized the move in a WeChat post that was later deleted, and the action is being framed as a national security case with possible implications for EUChina relations.
