Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Note 18. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

As discussed in Note 1, during the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Tongmei entered into the Capital Investment Agreements with Investors that invested approximately $48.1 million in the form of redeemable noncontrolling interests representing 7.06% of the outstanding shares of Tongmei. An additional investment of approximately $1.5 million of new capital was funded in early January 2021. Under China regulations these investments must be formally approved by the appropriate government agency and are not deemed to be dilutive until such approval is granted. The government approved the entire approximately $49 million investment on January 25, 2021, at which time the Investors owned a redeemable noncontrolling interest in Tongmei of 7.28%. The initial carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest was recorded at fair value on the date of issuance of Tongmei’s common stock, net of issuance costs and presented in temporary equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. This classification is due to the existence of certain contingencies that could result in potential redemption at the fixed purchase price as described below. We currently do not believe that this is probable thus no amortization of the issuance costs has been recorded.

Pursuant to the Capital Investment Agreements with the Investors, each Investor has the right to require AXT to redeem any or all Tongmei shares held by such Investor at the original purchase price paid by such Investor, without interest, in the event of a material adverse change or if Tongmei does not achieve its IPO on or before December 31, 2022. The aggregate redemption amount is approximately $49 million. This right is suspended when Tongmei submits its formal application to the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”). Tongmei submitted to the Shanghai Stock Exchange the application in December 2021 and it was formally accepted for review on January 10, 2022. The Shanghai Stock Exchange provided comments to the formal application in March 2022 and Tongmei filed an amended application to address the comments on April 14, 2022. The Shanghai Stock Exchange accepted for review the amended application on April 18, 2022 and provided comments to the amended application on April 26, 2022. The Shanghai Stock Exchange has not yet approved the formal application. If the Shanghai Stock Exchange approves the formal application, then the Shanghai Stock Exchange will forward it to the CSRC for further review. The process of going public on the STAR Market includes several periods of review and is therefore a lengthy process. Tongmei does not expect to complete the IPO until the second half of 2022. If, on December 31, 2022, the IPO application remains under review, then the date when such Investor is entitled to exercise such redemption right shall be deferred to a date when such submission is rejected by the CSRC or stock exchange, or the date when Tongmei withdraws its IPO application. If the application is approved and Tongmei completes an IPO the redemption right is cancelled. The listing of Tongmei on the STAR Market will not change the status of AXT as a U.S. public company.
