Dutch court orders extra measures in Nexperia-Wingtech fight

AMSTERDAM, Nov 12 (Reuters) - A Dutch court has ordered additional measures to shield Dutch chipmaker Nexperia from interference by its Chinese owner Wingtech, Nexperia said on Thursday.

The company said the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam district court on Wednesday had found that actions by Wingtech and Nexperia China had undermined its earlier rulings.

• The ongoing dispute between Nexperia and Wingtech was triggered by a September 2025 intervention ​by the ​Dutch state, aimed at preventing the company from moving operations to China

• Last year, the Enterprise Chamber said there were "well-founded reasons to doubt" the company was being managed correctly, suspended founder Zhang Xuezheng as CEO and ordered control of Wingtech's shares transferred to a Dutch lawyer

• It has now ordered Wingtech, Zhang, Nexperia China and others in Wingtech's leadership to "refrain from interfering with Nexperia's normal business activities"

• It also ordered them to "respect the powers of the independent court-appointed officials, so that they can perform their duties, including exploring a possible long-term solution for Nexperia"

• Nexperia said these orders were backed by "significant penalties"

• Wingtech could not immediately be reached for comment
