indie to Acquire CMOS Image Sensor Product Line from ams OSRAM

With primary operations in Belgium and Portugal, this product line includes intelligent, high‑performance CMOS image sensors for a broad range of industrial, automation, and physical artificial intelligence (AI) applications. This portfolio of products, IP, and designs aligns with indie's automotive ADAS sensing solutions and further strengthens the Company's multimodal sensing capabilities across radar, vision, LiDAR, and ultrasonic.

"By integrating ams' CMOS imagers with our sensor‑fusion hardware and perception software, we're able to deliver unparalleled sensing systems for next‑generation autonomous machines, including emerging applications such as humanoid robots, cobots, and AMRs," said Mark Tyndall, executive vice president of corporate development and investor relations at indie. "This unique carve-out extends our position in sensor‑fusion technology and significantly expands our portfolio of GaN SLED light‑source solutions. Together, these technologies broaden our offerings, opens new customer opportunities, and positions indie to capture a larger share of the rapidly emerging physical AI market."

Image sensors are a key component of sensor-rich platforms within high-performance visual applications such as humanoids, cobots, and industrial automation. As noted by Research and Markets, the image sensor market is forecasted to grow to over $40 billion by 2030. This market growth is being driven by rising autonomy, safety regulations, and increased adoption of AI-based vision ADAS systems, as well as applications that require multimodal sensing, low-latency, and high-resolution.

The consideration includes a cash payment of 35 million euros paid at closing, and a 5 million euros vendor debt note provided by ams OSRAM. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. It is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026 and be immediately accretive.
