Wingtech has noted the latest ruling issued by the Amsterdam Enterprise Chamber in the Netherlands in the Nexperia case. The Enterprise Chamber has not revoked its previous erroneous decision, failed to lift the interim measures imposed on Nexperia, and nor restored Wingtech’s legitimate controlling rights as a shareholder of Nexperia. The Enterprise Chamber has also ruled to initiate an investigation procedure against Nexperia. The company expresses profound disappointment and strong dissatisfaction with this ruling, according to a statement released by Wingtech on its WeChat account on Thursday.

The statement came as a Dutch court earlier on Wednesday ordered an investigation into mismanagement at Nexperia BV and upheld an October decision to suspend former CEO Zhang Xuezheng, the founder of Nexperia’s Chinese parent Wingtech, according to Reuters.

In the statement, the company said that on the one hand, the Enterprise Chamber has maintained the erroneous interim measures targeting the company and Zhang that have been in place since October 2025 – such measures are continuously and irreparably damaging a world-leading semiconductor enterprise that once operated excellently and made outstanding contributions, and harming the interests of tens of thousands of employees, more than 25,000 customers and the global industrial chain. On the other hand, it has ruled to launch the so-called “investigation procedure”, dragging the case into a lengthy second phase. 

This is a self-contradictory and logically flawed ruling: the Chamber, while acknowledging that the relevant matters are still subject to investigation, continues to uphold the interim measures based on one-sided and false information; while recognizing the need to expand the scope of the investigation to the current management, it condones the same interim management to remain in control of the company, essentially allowing them to continue their acts of undermining the company’s operations, carving up core assets and jeopardizing the stability of the global supply chain, the company said. 

How could a chamber truly committed to safeguarding “the best interests of the enterprise” allow the current management to drive an originally excellent and successful company into decline while conducting the so-called “investigation” on this basis? The company asked.

The company stress that Wingtech has no fear of any fair, transparent and comprehensive investigation; on the contrary, it warmly welcomes the genuine ascertainment of the truth, for the truth is Wingtech’s most powerful weapon. It firmly believes that any objective, professional investigation free from geopolitical bias will ultimately lead to the only possible conclusion: all actions taken by Wingtech and Zhang in relation to Nexperia are lawful, compliant and reasonable, and are fully in the best interests of the company and all its stakeholders. These actions have been the greatest driving force behind Nexperia’s past success, according to the statement.

The company said it has noted that the ruling of the Enterprise Chamber has expanded the scope of the investigation to the current interim management of Nexperia and confirmed multiple claims of the Company in the disputed matters, urging the Enterprise Chamber to conduct a full and fair investigation into this case, carry out a thorough investigation into a series of illegal acts of the current management of Nexperia, restore the truth, and hold the relevant personnel accountable.

“We reaffirm that the only solution to save Nexperia, stabilize the global supply chain and protect the legitimate rights and interests of all stakeholders is to immediately and unconditionally revoke all interim measures and restore Wingtech’s legitimate shareholder rights,” the company noted in the statement.

The company will continue to resolutely strive for the full restoration of all its legitimate controlling and governance rights over Nexperia through all legal means. This is the only correct way to end the current chaos and bring Nexperia and the semiconductor industrial chain back to a healthy development track, it said. 

“We have always been full of confidence in our legitimate status and rights. The company will continue to resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests through all legal means and uphold the openness, cooperation and stability of the global semiconductor industrial chain,” Wingtech noted.
