“This is another successful semiconductor company sale to a strategic acquirer which reinforces Acuity’s position as the most successful mid-market sell side advisor in the semi industry. It was a pleasure working with the Capres team and it is fantastic to help them realise the value of their highly innovative and unique nanotechnology. The commercial traction they have in both MRAM and sheet resistance is testament to their engineering excellence and deep domain expertise. With this competitive advantage, I am confident that they will have a very bright future under KLA’s ownership”
