Acquisition of Advanced Micro Foundry Pte. Ltd. – On November 18, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Advanced Micro Foundry Pte. Ltd. (“AMF”). AMF is a pioneering silicon photonics foundry based in Singapore. The acquisition is expected to enhance the Company’s scale, differentiation and customer base in silicon photonics and optical networking.
The total purchase consideration was $453 million in cash paid on the closing date. The fair value of consideration transferred was determined by the Company with the assistance of an independent appraiser as part of the purchase price allocation.

(1)    Goodwill is mainly attributable to the workforce, synergies, and expected future growth potential from access to new markets. Goodwill recognized will not be deductible for income tax purposes.

The fair value of certain identifiable assets and liabilities primarily relating to working capital adjustment, including deferred tax liability, have been determined provisionally, and are subject to adjustments as we obtain additional information. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocation will be made as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
The valuation of acquired intangible assets consisting of the developed technology, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and customer relationships were determined based on management’s estimates and consultation with an independent appraiser. The fair value of developed technology and IPR&D was estimated using the relief from royalty method, while the customer relationships were measured at fair value using the multiperiod excess earnings method. Significant estimations and assumptions inherent in the valuation method were employed by the Company, which included, but were not limited to, future cash flows, expected revenue growth rates, royalty rates, technology migration curve and discount rate applied to future cash flows.

Other business combinations – Silicon Manufacturing Partners Pte Ltd (“SMP”) was a joint venture between Avago Technologies International Sales Pte.

As of December 31, 2024, we held a 49% interest in SMP and managed all aspects of its manufacturing operations. On January 2, 2025, we acquired the remaining 51% of the shares in the share capital of SMP from Avago Singapore, thereby making SMP a wholly-owned subsidiary of GlobalFoundries. Total purchase price consideration of $64 million was allocated to the fair values of net assets acquired and resulted in the recognition of $37 million goodwill and the derecognition of the existing investment in the joint venture.
