TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 24, 2025--
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723, "Renesas"), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the establishment of a new subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) in the United States as a holding company for its Software & Digitalization business. The New Subsidiary is expected to be classified as a specified subsidiary of Renesas.
1. Purpose of Establishing the New Subsidiary
In January 2024, Renesas established a new organization dedicated to software and digitalization, accelerating efforts in these fields. As part of this initiative, Renesas acquired Altium Limited ("Altium", Note) in August 2024 and is working together with Altium as one team to establish an integrated and open “electronics system design and lifecycle management platform” to make electronics design accessible to a broader market to allow more innovation. In January 2025, Altium’s acquisition of Part Analytics, Inc., a supply chain management company, marked another step toward realizing Renesas’ Digitalization Vision.
To further strengthen and grow its Software & Digitalization business, Renesas plans to establish a holding company as its wholly owned subsidiary in the first quarter ending March 31, 2026, to oversee the management of its subsidiaries related to this business. Following the necessary procedures, Renesas intends to consolidate the shares of its Software & Digitalization-related subsidiaries, including Altium, under the New Subsidiary. The New Subsidiary's net assets are expected to exceed 30 percent of Renesas' total equity, and, as a result, it will be treated as a specified subsidiary of Renesas. By centrally managing its Software & Digitalization-related subsidiaries under the New Subsidiary, Renesas aims to enhance governance and operational efficiency, while building a structure that can flexibly respond to future business development and internal resource allocation.
