OmniVision Technologies Inc

OmniVision Technologies Inc. and Will Semiconductor Co. Ltd formed a relationship so discreetly that it took an entire year for the public to learn about it. They had already completed deals totaling over $2.1 billion when the scandal broke in April 2019. We don’t know a lot of the facts around the sale because they kept things so low-key. We do know, however, that OmniVision began talking to Chinese investors in 2015. Around the same time, a group of Chinese firms teamed up to buy the California-based firm for $1.9 billion. People are still perplexed as to why an unknown Chinese firm, Will Semiconductor Co. Ltd opted to take it over.
