TREE NEWS update: Nexchip announced it will join Hefei Construction Investment and Hefei Qinhe in increasing capital in its wholly owned subsidiary Jingyi Integrated by a combined RMB 9.1 billion, with Nexchip contributing RMB 5.1 billion. Registered capital will rise from RMB 2 billion to RMB 11.1 billion, cutting Nexchip’s stake to 63.96% while it remains the controlling shareholder. Jingyi is the construction entity for Nexchip’s phase-four project, a RMB 35.5 billion 12-inch wafer fab targeting about 55,000 wafers per month.
Nexchip to Inject RMB 5.1B in RMB 9.1B Capital Raise for Chip Unit Jingyi
The capital structure here is as telling as the sum: Nexchip is funding a multi-billion-yuan fab through a subsidiary-level raise that dilutes its ownership to just under two-thirds, pulling in local Hefei state entities alongside it. That model — anchor company plus municipal investment vehicles — keeps the phase-four build off Nexchip's wholly owned balance sheet while retaining control, and it ties the project's fortunes to local government commitment as much as to the foundry's own cash flow. The open question is whether this dilution-and-partnership template gets repeated for future capacity phases, and how the remaining minority stakes shape decision-making at Jingyi as the 12-inch line moves toward its stated output target.
