中国，北京 - 2020年3月16日 - Silicon Labs（亦称“芯科科技”，NASDAQ：SLAB）宣布已与Redpine Signals达成最终资产购买协议，以3.08亿美元现金收购该公司的Wi-Fi和蓝牙业务、位于印度海得拉巴的研发中心以及广泛的专利组合。

Silicon Labs首席执行官Tyson Tuttle表示：“收购Redpine Signals的超低功耗Wi-Fi和蓝牙产品以及广泛的知识产权组合将强化我们在物联网（IoT）无线技术领域的领导地位。将这些产品加入我们的全球销售和分销网络中，可以协助那些希望通过支持Wi-Fi的连网设备快速进入市场的客户进一步推动智能家居、工业物联网和商业市场向前发展。”

Wi-Fi 6（802.11ax）是Wi-Fi标准的重要演进，可以满足具有成百上千个连网IoT设备的环境所需的低功耗、性能、安全性和互操作性要求。整合Redpine Signals的技术将加快Silicon Labs的Wi-Fi 6芯片、软件和解决方案路线图。此次收购还包括可用于可穿戴设备、可听戴设备、语音助手和智能音箱等音频应用的Bluetooth Classic IP（包括扩展数据速率）。

对Redpine Signals的收购包括在印度海得拉巴拥有约200名员工的大规模设计中心。有了Redpine多学科、高绩效团队的加入，将协助Silicon Labs在这个印度人才最丰富的地区之一更快速、高效地扩展研发规模。

Redpine Signals创始人兼首席执行官Venkat Mattela表示：“我的团队很高兴可以加入Silicon Labs，去协助建立一个更智能、更互联的世界。在对OFDM和MIMO系统进行二十年先进研究的支持下，Redpine Signals打造了高度差异化的、低功耗的多协议SoC。展望未来，低功耗Wi-Fi 6将是用于IoT设备连接的关键无线技术。”

Silicon Labs预计，该交易将为公司在2020财年增加约2000万美元的收入，并以可比毛利率促进物联网业务营收持续增长，同时按非公认会计原则计算，将在2021年下半年实现每股收益增加。此项交易每年将增加约1500万美元的非公认会计原则运营费用。

两家公司的董事会和Redpine Signals的股东均已批准该交易，根据成交条件惯例，该交易预计将于2020年第二季度完成。摩根大通证券有限责任公司（J.P. Morgan Securities LLC）担任了Redpine Signals的独家财务顾问。

Non-GAAP Financial Measures（非公认会计原则财务指标）

In addition to GAAP reporting, Silicon Labs provides investors with certain information on a non-GAAP basis, including anticipated accretion and operating expenses. This non-GAAP information excludes stock compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-cash interest expense on convertible notes, and certain other items acquisition-related intangibles. Management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of the Company's underlying performance. The exclusion of these and other similar items from Silicon Labs' non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Silicon Labs believes this non-GAAP financial information provides additional insight into the Company's on-going performance and has therefore chosen to provide this information to investors for a more consistent basis of comparison and to help them evaluate the results of the Company's on-going operations and enable more meaningful period to period comparisons. These non-GAAP measures are provided in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Silicon Labs is not readily able to reconcile the projected accretion information provided herein to a GAAP calculation thereof because the information needed to complete a reconciliation is unavailable at this time without unreasonable effort.

Forward-Looking Statements（前瞻性声明）

This announcement contains forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended) concerning Silicon Labs ("Silicon Labs") and its proposed acquisition (the "Acquisition") of the Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® business (the “Business”) from Redpine Signals and related matters. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements that address Silicon Labs' expected future business and financial performance and statements about (i) the timing, completion and expected benefits of the Acquisition, (ii) plans, objectives and intentions with respect to future operations and products, (iii) competitive position and opportunities, (iv) the impact of the Acquisition on the market for Silicon Labs products, (vi) the impact of the Acquisition on non-GAAP EPS and operating expenses , (vi) other information relating to the Acquisition and (vii) other statements identified by words such as "will", "expect", "intends", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "should", "intend", "plan", "potential", "predict" "project", "aim", and similar words, phrases or expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and beliefs of the management of Silicon Labs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management, current market trends and market conditions and involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the management's control, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on such statements.

Particular uncertainties that could materially affect future results include any risks associated with the Acquisition such as: (1) the risk that the conditions to the closing of the transaction are not satisfied; (2) litigation relating to the transaction; (3) uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the transaction and the ability of each party to consummate the transaction; (4) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts the current plans and operations of the Business and Silicon Labs; (5) the ability of the Business and Silicon Labs to retain and hire key personnel; (6) competitive responses to the proposed transaction; (7) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the transaction; (8) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction; (9) Silicon Labs' ability to achieve the growth prospects and synergies expected from the transaction, as well as delays, challenges and expenses associated with integrating the Business into Silicon Labs' existing businesses; and (10) legislative, regulatory and economic developments.
