中国上市电动汽车制造商理想汽车于周五宣布，其旗下芯片及域控制器业务部门——上海迈赫芯科技有限公司，正在开展首次股权融资，计划募资16.25亿元人民币（约合2.429亿美元）。
Publicly listed Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Li Auto announced on Friday that its chip and domain controller unit, Shanghai Mahe Xin Technology (MHX Technology), is raising its first equity funding round of 1.625 billion yuan ($242.9 million).
总部位于上海的迈赫芯科技已与母公司理想汽车达成协议，拟从后者获得10亿元人民币（约合1.495亿美元）的投资。其余6.25亿元人民币（约合9330万美元）则将由多家外部投资方共同出资，这些投资方包括专注于中国市场的蓝驰创投、HyT Capital，以及原矩阵合伙中国旗下的投资平台iMPC，此外 miraclePlus也参与了此次投资。
Shanghai-headquartered MHX Technology entered into agreements to raise 1 billion yuan ($149.5 million) from the parent company. The remaining 625 million yuan ($93.4 million) will come from a group of external investors led by China-focused Lanchi Ventures, previously known as BlueRun Ventures China; HyT Capital; and an investment vehicle under iMPC, formerly Matrix Partners China; with participation from MiraclePlus.
根据相关协议，由iMPC控制的杭州景涛公司有权在12月31日或之前，按照同等定价条件向迈赫芯科技追加最高5亿元人民币（约合7470万美元）的投资。
Under the agreements, the iMPC-controlled vehicle called Hangzhou Jingtao is granted a right on a one-off basis to make a further investment of up to 500 million yuan ($74.7 million) in MHX Technology under the same pricing terms on or before December 31.
据理想汽车披露，若iMPC的追加认购权得以全额行使，再加上迈赫芯科技计划实施的两次员工股权激励计划，该公司的投后估值将达171亿元人民币。
A full exercise of iMPC’s additional subscription right, alongside MHX Technology’s planned adoption of two employee share incentives, will drive the post-money valuation of MHX Technology to 17.1 billion yuan, according to an announcement from Li Auto.
交易完成后，理想汽车仍将持有迈赫芯科技74.01%的股权，维持其控股地位；外部投资者和股权激励计划参与方则将分别持有6.58%和19.41%的股份。理想汽车也会继续将迈赫芯科技的财务业绩纳入自身合并报表。
Once completed, the transactions will see Li Auto maintain a controlling 74.01% equity stake in MHX Technology, while external investors and incentive-plan entities hold 6.58% and 19.41%, respectively. Li Auto will continue to consolidate MHX Technology’s financial results.
凭借在芯片及域控制器领域的专业实力，迈赫芯科技希望把握更广泛的行业发展机遇，尤其是汽车产业之外的领域，从而实现规模效应提升。理想汽车表示，此次股权融资将助力公司推进研发与商业化进程，而股权激励计划则有助于吸引并留住核心人才。
Leveraging its dedicated chip and domain controller expertise, MHX Technology is seeking to capitalise on broader industrial opportunities, particularly across non-auto sectors, for enhanced economies of scale. Its debut equity funding round will enable the company to advance its R&D and commercialisation efforts, while the share incentive plans are expected to attract and motivate key talents, said Li Auto.
