Our increased design-ins, the end customer momentum in ramping GaN, and the recent broad market excitement in GaN power is driving our desire to commence a strategic review of various opportunities to enhance shareholder value.”
“We believe the past quarter and fiscal year have been extremely important toward positioning us strategically for future growth. We expect our recently announced rights offering and the asset-based debt financing initiatives we are pursuing will significantly improve our cash position and put us in a strong position to pursue the increased opportunity funnel and allow us to focus on product innovation, operational capabilities and collaborative opportunities,” stated Cameron McAulay, Chief Financial Officer.
