Beijing Business Daily (Reporter Wang Manlei) reported that on the evening of March 18, Dashengda (603687) announced that the company plans to invest a total of 550 million yuan through equity transfer and capital increase to acquire a 22.9831% stake in XinTong Semiconductor Technology (Xiamen) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “XinTong Semiconductor”) after the completion of this transaction.

The company also plans to increase its capital in XinTong Semiconductor by 500 million yuan. The capital increase will be completed in two phases: the first phase involves a 250 million yuan increase upon meeting the conditions specified in the capital increase agreement; the second phase, contingent upon the successful tape-out of the third-generation graphics processor and continued fulfillment of the first phase conditions, will also involve a 250 million yuan increase. Additionally, the company’s controlling shareholder, Hangzhou Xinshengda Investment Co., Ltd., plans to invest 50 million yuan in XinTong Semiconductor at the same price and conditions as the company, acquiring a 1.9608% stake after the transaction.

The announcement states that XinTong Semiconductor was established in 2019 and is a pioneer in China focused on the design, research, development, and sales of general-purpose high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) chips. Relying on an advanced architecture that deeply integrates graphics rendering, general computing, and artificial intelligence computing capabilities, the modern GPU chip system provides cloud and terminal customers with high-performance, sustainable, iterative domestic GPU solutions to meet diverse computing needs from desktop applications to data centers.
