Dec 2023Undisclosed stageWuhu Wenming Quanhong Investment Management (lead); China Internet Investment Fund$1.3B$23BHebei Yangyuan Zhihui Beverage Co., through its subsidiary Wuhu Wenming Quanhong Investment Management, agreed in December 2023 to subscribe CNY 1.6 billion (about US$219 million) of new registered capital in Yangtze Memory Technologies (YMTC), taking a 0.99 percent stake and valuing the company at about CNY 161 billion (US$22 billion). The subscription was disclosed only in April 2025 through a Shanghai Stock Exchange filing, the delay being attributed to commercial secrets. It formed part of a wider capital increase that lifted YMTC's subscribed capital from CNY 105.27 billion to CNY 111.81 billion and brought in 16 new shareholders, including investment units of Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications, Bank of China, Shanghai State-Owned Assets Operation and the China Internet Investment Fund, each taking roughly 0.6 percent, for about CNY 9.4 billion (US$1.3 billion) of new capital in total. After the round Yangyuan became the eighth-largest shareholder while seven state-backed vehicles, led by Hubei Changsheng Development (26.9 percent) and Wuhan Xinfei Technology Investment backed by the national Big Fund (25.7 percent), kept control. YMTC, founded in 2016 and based in Wuhan, is China's leading NAND flash memory maker and developer of the Xtacking 3D NAND architecture. Filings accompanying the investment showed a loss of CNY 84 million for the first nine months of 2024 against a profit of CNY 531 million for 2023, with net assets of CNY 134.7 billion at the end of September 2024.
Mar 2023Undisclosed stageChina Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (CICF); Hubei Changsheng Development; Changjiang Industrial Investment Group$7.1B-Yangtze Memory Technologies Co (YMTC) is a Chinese semiconductor company founded in July 2016 that designs and manufactures NAND flash memory chips and solid-state drives for mobile, consumer electronics, data center, and enterprise applications. The company developed the proprietary Xtacking architecture and operates as part of China's broader strategy to build domestic semiconductor capabilities. In early 2023 (around March), YMTC received a $7.1 billion (49 billion yuan) capital injection from three state-backed investors: the China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (also known as the Big Fund, contributing approximately $1.9 billion), Changjiang Industry Investment Group, and Hubei Changsheng Development. This injection doubled YMTC's registered capital to over 105 billion yuan. The investment came as the company faced significant challenges, including placement on a U.S. export control list in December 2022, which restricted access to leading-edge chip manufacturing equipment, and a broader oversupply in the memory sector that led YMTC to implement workforce reductions of 10 percent in January 2023. Despite these headwinds, YMTC continued to receive substantial state support as part of China's effort to develop independent semiconductor production capabilities amid U.S.-China technology tensions.
