History

TwinMOS Technologies was founded in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1998 by William Chen. Initially focusing on memory modules, the company expanded its product portfolio over the years to include various storage solutions and computer peripherals. In 2001, TwinMOS established TwinMOS Technologies Middle East FZE in Dubai to cater to the Middle East, North Africa[2], and CIS regions.[3]

In 2006, TwinMOS announced a merger with Singapore-based Memory Devices via a stock swap, aiming to extend its presence in the overseas market.[4] In 2007, following the expiry of a previous share exchange agreement dated March 14, 2006, the company entered into a new share exchange agreement on August 4, 2007, to acquire the entire issued share capital of Twinmos Technologies Inc. The maximum purchase consideration under the agreement was set at US$63 million. The consideration was to be distributed among the participating shareholders of TwinMOS Technologies. As of both 2006 and 2007, commitments for the acquisition totaled US$63 million and US$96.8 million, respectively.[5]
