indie Semiconductor, an Autotech solutions innovator, and
Thunder Bridge Acquisition II, Ltd. (Nasdaq: THBR), a special
purpose acquisition company, today announced the completion of
their previously announced business combination. The combined
company will retain the indie Semiconductor name with its common
stock and warrants to commence trading on Nasdaq under the new
ticker symbols “INDI” and “INDIW”, respectively, on June 11, 2021.
The business combination was approved at a special meeting of
Thunder Bridge Acquisition II’s shareholders on June 9, 2021.
“The completion of our business combination with Thunder Bridge
Acquisition II marks an extraordinary milestone for indie,” said
Donald McClymont, indie’s Co-founder and CEO. “We founded indie
back in 2007 on the simple concept of addressing the need for
innovative semiconductor system solutions. Today we are a rapidly
growing public company focused on the automotive industry with a
global footprint and key relationships with leading Tier 1
customers and OEMs. Our advanced technologies are helping to
re-architect tomorrow’s vehicle today, solving the step function
increase in electronic performance and complexity demanded by our
customers to improve safety, facilitate seamless data connectivity,
enhance the user experience and accelerate electrification. Looking
ahead, we are well positioned to capitalize on our existing design
win pipeline, drive scale and further consolidate within Autotech
while creating shareholder value.”
“We are delighted to close our merger with the indie team,” said
Gary Simanson, President and CEO of Thunder Bridge Acquisition II.
“indie has established an industry-leading franchise, and by virtue
of our combination, will have the financial firepower to accelerate
its strategic growth initiatives and create an Autotech pureplay
powerhouse. Thunder Bridge's focus on high growth technology
businesses combined with our proven ability to provide substantial
equity capital from the SPAC sponsor, IPO investors and PIPE
participants brought significant value to this transaction. Whether
in the growing market for financial technology, such as REPAY
(Nasdaq: RPAY), or in the burgeoning market for automotive
technology such as indie Semiconductor (Nasdaq: INDI), the Thunder
Bridge SPAC team is committed to its investors and helping strong
operating companies realize their strategic objectives, access
public capital markets and create long term shareholder value.”
The business combination is expected to result in gross proceeds
of approximately $400 million to indie at closing, net of Thunder
Bridge Acquisition II’s shareholder redemptions.
In addition to Donald McClymont, following completion of the
business combination, indie will retain its experienced management
team including Ichiro Aoki, Co-founder and President; Scott Kee,
Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer; Thomas Schiller, Chief
Financial Officer and EVP of Strategy; Ellen Bancroft, General
Counsel, and Steve Machuga, Chief Operating Officer.
