TEGAL
SELLS DRIE ASSETS TO SPTS
Tegal’s
focus now exclusively on Green Energy
PETALUMA, Calif., February 9, 2011—Tegal Corporation, (Nasdaq: TGAL)
today announced the sale of its Deep Reactive Ion Etch (DRIE) and certain
related assets to SPP Process Technology Systems Ltd (SPTS). Tegal
will receive aggregate consideration of approximately $2.1 million, including
$1.6 million in cash and the assumption by SPTS of approximately $0.5 million of
short-term liabilities. The deal includes the transfer to SPTS of the
capital stock and operations of Tegal France SAS, a wholly-owned Tegal
subsidiary formed following the acquisition in September 2008 by Tegal of the
DRIE assets of Alcatel Micro Machining Systems.
Tegal
sold to SPTS the Tegal 200™, 110™, 3200™ and 4200™ series DRIE products,
along with its Compact™ and Pluto development assets, intellectual property and
process know-how. SPTS will provide continued global support to
existing Tegal DRIE customers, and will integrate these technologies
into its broad range of product offerings in etch, deposition and thermal
technologies which it offers to its customers
worldwide.
“The sale
of the DRIE product lines to SPTS represents another major step in Tegal’s
transformation. We recently announced our participation in the
formation of sequel Power, a company dedicated to the development and
operation of large scale photovoltaic (PV)-based solar utilities in the
United States, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. From
this platform, we intend to build additional operations and make further
investments as we transition from being a supplier of semiconductor capital
equipment to pursuing a leading role in green energy,” said Thomas Mika,
President and CEO, Tegal Corporation. “The sale of the DRIE assets to
SPTS ensures a smooth transition of our technology, team members, active joint
development projects in France, and our commitments to customers
globally.”
“This
acquisition enhances the DRIE product portfolio SPTS offers to our served
markets, broadens our customer base, and expands our ability to deliver world
class DRIE solutions to our global customers,” said William Johnson, President
and Chief Executive Officer of SPTS. “We expect to enhance support to Tegal
customers through our worldwide support network, and intend to continue the
leading-edge development efforts of the former Tegal team in Annecy,
France.
