Doug, have a question for you. Why has SiTime been issuing follow on equity. It twice raised large amounts in 2021. This is in addition to follow on offering in 2020. Given SiTime has limited cash needs, generates Free Cash Flow I am puzzled by this behavior. Look forwards to your thoughts.

Most of the secondarys are driven by MegaChips trying to sell down their stake IIRC.

Doug, there has been significant primary follow on offering by SiTime . In Feb 21 USD 279mn was raised, in Nov 21 another USD 190mn . This money went to SiTIme. MegaChip secondary issues are separate.

I liked ur interviews of Rajesh. Feels you know Rajesh as a person. Why do u think Rajesh raised raised USD460mn? I am confused.

I mean shares were like in the ~200+ dollar range? Like 200x+ earnings, it makes sense no?

That cash balance is helping them massively right now.

Thank you My interpretation is he was opportunistic. Nothing wrong with this.

Why do you write "That cash balance is helping them massively right now". Does he need to do a large M&A?

Separately I track semis in Asia. Let me know if I can be of help.
