For more information regarding the third-party allotment, please refer to the press releases “Renesas Announces Issuance of New Shares and Secondary Offering of Shares” dated May 28, 2021 and “Renesas Announces Determination of Issue Price, Selling Price and Other Matters” dated on June 9, 2021.

Current total number of issued shares:
1,928,408,490 shares
Number of shares to be increased by the issuance of new shares by way of third-party allotment:
2,067,600 shares
Total number of issued shares after the issuance of new shares by way of third-party allotment:
1,930,476,090 shares
(Note) As Renesas has issued stock acquisition rights, “Current total number of issued shares” refers to the aggregate number of (i) the total number of issued shares as of May 31, 2021 (1,736,155,690 shares) and (ii) the number of issued shares increased by the issuance of new shares through the public offering (the Japanese Public Offering and the International Offering) conducted on June 15, 2021 (192,252,800 shares).
3. Use of proceeds
In February 2021, Renesas reached an agreement with Dialog Semiconductor Plc (“Dialog”), a UK.-headquartered analog semiconductor supplier, to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Dialog and thereby make Dialog a wholly owned subsidiary of Renesas (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition consideration of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Dialog totals approximately EUR 4,886 million (approximately 615.7 billion yen based on the exchange rate as of February 3, 2021 of 126 yen per Euro). Renesas executed a Facilities Agreement with MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., (borrowing limit: 735.4 billion yen) to procure necessary funds for the Acquisition. The fundraising through the issuance of new shares is intended to convert a part of funds to be obtained through such Facilities Agreement to long-term funds. Accordingly, Renesas intends to use the aggregate amount of proceeds of 222,610,804,680 yen to be obtained from the Japanese Public Offering, the International Offering and the third-party allotment to fund a part of the purchase price for the Acquisition. In this case, Renesas will not borrow the equivalent amount through the Facilities Agreement. The Acquisition is expected to close by the end of calendar year 2021.
However, if any of the Japanese Public Offering, the International Offering and the third-party allotment are consummated after the payment date of the purchase price for the Acquisition, the proceeds from such delayed financing will be used to repay a part of borrowings under the Facilities Agreement that Renesas procures for payment of the purchase price for the Acquisition.
Although, the Acquisition is expected to close by the end of calendar year 2021 as noted above, the closing of the Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the sanction by the UK court and regulatory approvals from the relevant countries; therefore, the Acquisition may not be consummated if any or all of these conditions are not met.
In the event that the Acquisition is not consummated, the proceeds will be used in whole or in part for repayments of existing borrowings, investments in the businesses, capital expenditure or working capital.
In either case, the proceeds will be managed in a bank account until actual expenditure.
