- The Enterprise Chamber, part of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal, issued its judgment on November 11, 2026.
- The administrators said they will seek renewed dialogue with Wingtech to preserve shareholder value.

Court-appointed administrators overseeing Nexperia said on November 12, 2026 that they would assess market interest in a majority or minority stake in the Dutch chipmaker. The statement came a week after Chinese owner Wingtech rejected their proposal to hand control of Nexperia's operations outside China to foreign investors.
"We have decided to assess market interest in possible long-term solutions for Nexperia," administrators Guido Dierick and Arnold Croiset van Uchelen said in a statement. They added that no decision had been taken to reduce Wingtech's ownership interest.
The move follows a judgment by the Enterprise Chamber, part of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal, on November 11, 2026, which confirmed the administrators' authority to explore long-term solutions and ordered Wingtech not to interfere with the process. The administrators said they would seek renewed constructive dialogue with Wingtech.
The administrators were appointed in October 2025 and February 2026, when the Enterprise Chamber also suspended Mr. Zhang as a director of Nexperia. They said Nexperia's Chinese subsidiaries are now controlled separately by Wingtech, which in their assessment has harmed the business and shareholder value. To address supply chain disruption, they said they have supported management in developing additional capacity in Malaysia, the Philippines and through third-party manufacturing partners.
