TOKYO—Japanese chip maker Renesas Electronics Corp. on Monday
said it is in talks to buy U.S.-based chip maker Intersil Corp., a
move that could strengthen the Japanese company's business of
making semiconductor components for cars.
"We are considering various options for growth including" a
possible deal with the U.S. company, Renesas said in a
statement.
According to a person familiar with the discussions, the deal,
if reached, would be valued at around 300 billion yen ($3
billion).
The possible takeover, which was reported earlier Monday by the
Japanese business daily Nikkei, would represent a step by Renesas
to stay ahead in an industry that has seen considerable recent
consolidation.
Intersil's customers include companies in the automotive and
aerospace businesses. The company had revenue of $522 million and
net income of $7.2 million in 2015.
Innovation Network Corp. of Japan, a Japanese government-backed
fund that owns a majority stake in Renesas, was looking for a buyer
for the company last year, people familiar with the matter said at
the time, but no deal has resulted.
Renesas was formed through a fusion of chip-making units of NEC
Corp., Mitsubishi Electric Corp. and Hitachi Ltd.
