Timeline of Corporate Events
- October 2023 :
- Leadership Change : The old CEO becomes Chairman of the board to focus on equity financing and strategy. The former Chairman moves to the Vice Chair position. The Vice Chair represents the largest shareholder in the company with 14% of total shares.
- December 2023 :
- RSU Compensation : The board changes compensation for board members from monetary to Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) at a higher stock price than the last trading price on the N-OTC platform.
- Option Extension Proposal : The board suggests voting in the general assembly to extend the expiration of the old options given to the former CEO (now Chairman), which had expired.
- January 2024 - April 2024 :
- Reduced News Flow : The company has a period of significantly reduced news flow, with minimal public announcements.
- May 2024 :
- New CEO Appointment : The company announces the appointment of a new CEO with 17 years of experience from Osram, the largest company in the same sector.
- June 2024 :
- Financing and New Share Class : The company announces it is in two processes for financing – short-term and long-term. The short-term funding involves participation from the current largest shareholders and introduces a new preference share class with a 3x multiple on liquidation.
- Delisting Proposal : At the same time as voting for the newly introduced share class, the board and some participating shareholders in the short-term funding suggest delisting the company from the N-OTC platform.
Summary Interpretation
The sequence of these events, particularly the strategic leadership changes, the shift to RSU compensation, the extension of options, the appointment of a new CEO, the introduction of new preference shares, and the proposal to delist, all indicate a company preparing for significant corporate restructuring. The actions align with typical pre-acquisition strategies, suggesting a high likelihood of the company positioning itself for a potential M&A deal.
Likelihood of Acquisition : With the added context of the delisting proposal, the probability that the company is soon to be acquired is rated at 9.5 out of 10.

Noen som har fanget opp når selskapet fjernes fra NOTC?
After watching the full video of NTG Capital Markets Day, I would agree with the ChatGPT analyses posted. Everybody needs to watch it. My personal meaning after the corporate events the last months in context of what they say, they are actively selling the company. Anybody disagrees?
Rinnan also talked about the ongoing potential industrial actors for CondAlign, and said they are open to sell portion of their stock, or everything if that is a requirement, as long as it gives value to NTG shareholders.
Short summary:
All presenters used over 20min, and CrayoNano was last in line with only 10 minutes and the whole event was finalized before time, which Rinnan made a point of. Chairman Uthus opened with full confidence and the following statement.:
“There will be no video and no fancy slides about the technology, but slides about what really matters, commercial traction.”
Then he only focused on mainly 2 slides, sales funnel and order book, with a tiny example of use in dryer.
Here is specifically what was said:
Uthus:
“Rune and I have for a long time, several years, worked with Thomas Dobbertin who comes from Osram. There he had P&L responsibility for half a billion euros. Thomas wanted a new career step in his life.”
“Today we are working with a slightly different structure on the cap table, bringing in industrial players with a footprint in the market. This will strengthen the company and accelerate further commercial growth.”
Rinnan:
“At Crayonano, we work with various industrial constellations. NTG has 14%, so we just want to help move this ship forward. It is very exciting that we have managed to build a semiconductor company that now has revenue and orders.”
“For both Condalign and CrayoNano, we are flexible, there are industrial players, and we stay up-to-date with what comes to the table.”

Major significant news.
CTO in Taiwan (newly appointed in Oct 2023) and CFO is leaving the company.
As part of the new CEOs assessment of the operation, there will be some changes to the organization. The company has reached an agreement with the current CTO and CFO to resign from their positions.
The CTO was just appointed in October 2023 with the following satetement:
Current CEO Jo Uthus proposed as Chairman of the Board, succeeding Rune Rinnan who will step down from chairman position to vice chair of the board. UV-C LED industry veteran Dr. Ryan Chuo has taken the role of CTO to accelerate the UV-C LED technology development from CrayoNano’s Taiwan office.
15 Feb 2024:
A key undertaking in 2023 was establishing a strong leadership team in Taiwan. During the year we hired a new CTO, a UV-C LED technology veteran adding further experience at C-level, and a General Manager with over 15 years of UV LED industry experience. This was accompanied by the transition of further operations to Taiwan and the reorganisation of people into customer-facing roles to support both our growing global design-in activity as well as more efficient operations.

So the company is no longer in need of own CTO and CFO.
In the light of scaling up and commercialization and in the stated process with industry strategic long term investors with a footprint and synergy in the market.
Mr Dobbertin is on a mission.

Just fooling around with the “crazy, unheard of” idea that AMS OSRAM being the “strategic long-term investor”-part of the puzzle. (Moving production from Taiwan to own production in Malaysia, bringing in/down “corporate” CFO to fit Group-needs and common interests)
Perplexity gave me this overview of OSRAMs strategy and future plans, seems like good fit?
Based on the search results, here are the key future plans for OSRAM under ams ownership:
-
Focus on sensor solutions and photonics:
AMS aims to combine with OSRAM to create a worldwide leader in sensor solutions and photonics. The merger leverages OSRAM’s strong technology, IP, and market position in combination with AMS’s capabilities[1]. -
Investment in LED production:
AMS OSRAM is investing heavily in LED manufacturing, particularly for automotive, AR/VR, horticulture, and UV-C disinfection applications. The company is spending nearly $1 billion on a new LED and microLED production facility in Kulim, Malaysia[5]. -
Expansion of 8-inch wafer production:
The new Kulim plant will produce LEDs and microLEDs using 8-inch wafers, an upgrade from the previous 6-inch wafers, potentially improving production efficiency[5]. -
Focus on chip-level operations:
AMS OSRAM is honing its focus on chip-level operations, including LEDs, lasers, and sensors[5]. -
Divestiture of non-core businesses:
The company plans to sell off several general lighting operations to streamline its portfolio, including:- Traxon Technologies (architectural and façade lighting)
- Clay Paky (entertainment lighting)
- Digital Systems Eurasia (lighting electronics and LED drivers)[5]
-
Facility optimization:
AMS OSRAM is closing its 44-year-old LED site in Penang, Malaysia, and replacing it with a new, more efficient single-building facility in nearby Batu Kawan[5]. -
Continued operation of key sites:
The company will maintain its LED production at the Regensburg, Germany site, which has also taken on vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) production[5]. -
Strategic focus on automotive LED market:
With the microLED market for consumer electronics not developing as expected, AMS OSRAM is adjusting its strategy to focus more on the automotive LED market, which is projected to grow significantly in the coming years[2].
These plans indicate that AMS OSRAM is focusing on high-value, technology-driven segments of the LED and photonics markets while divesting non-core operations to create a more streamlined and efficient company.
