Equity Interest Purchase Agreement - ATMP Joint Venture
On April 29, 2016, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries completed the sale of a majority of the equity interests in Suzhou TF-AMD Semiconductor Co., Ltd., formerly AMD Technologies (China) Co., Ltd., and TF AMD Microelectronics (Penang) Sdn. Bhd., formerly Advanced Micro Devices Export Sdn. Bhd., to affiliates of Nantong Fujitsu Microelectronics Co., Ltd., a Chinese joint stock company (NFME), to form two joint ventures (collectively, the ATMP JV). As a result of the sale, NFME’s affiliates own 85% of the equity interests in each ATMP JV while certain of the Company’s subsidiaries own the remaining 15%. The Company has no obligations to fund the ATMP JV.
As the result of the transaction, the Company received approximately $346 million, including purchase price adjustments, in net cash proceeds for selling 85% of the equity interest in each of Suzhou TF-AMD Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and TF AMD Microelectronics (Penang) Sdn. Bhd. These proceeds, net of certain transaction costs, were included in investing activities on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 24, 2016.
As a result of certain purchase price adjustments, the Company recognized a charge of $4 million in the third quarter of 2016, which resulted in a cumulative pre-tax gain on the sale of its 85% equity interest in ATMP JV of $146 million for the nine months ended September 24, 2016, which was recognized within Other income (expense), net on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The net pre-tax gain reflects the excess of the sum of net cash proceeds and fair value of the Company's retained 15% equity interests in the ATMP JV over the sum of the net book values of the Company's former subsidiaries and other closing costs directly attributed to the divestiture. The above gain includes $11 million of excess of fair value of the Company's retained interest over the corresponding net book values.
In determining the fair value of the Company's retained 15% equity interests in the ATMP JV, the Company used quoted prices from comparable bids for this transaction. The Company also considered other factors including the control premium and the amount of consideration received for the portion sold.
The Company accounts for its equity interests in the ATMP JV under the equity method of accounting due to its significant influence over the ATMP JV. As of September 24, 2016, the carrying value of the Company's investment in the ATMP JV was approximately $60 million.
Following the deconsolidation, the ATMP JV is a related party of the Company. The ATMP JV provides assembly, test, mark and pack (ATMP) services to the Company. The Company currently pays the ATMP JV for ATMP services on a cost-plus basis. The Company's total purchases from the ATMP JV during the quarter and nine months ended September 24, 2016 amounted to approximately $107 million and $173 million, respectively. The Company’s payable to the ATMP JV, as of September 24, 2016 was $144 million.
During the quarter and nine months ended September 24, 2016, the Company recorded $5 million and $8 million, respectively, of loss in Equity in income (loss) of ATMP JV on its condensed consolidated statements of operations, which includes certain expenses incurred by the Company on behalf of the ATMP JV.
