In June 2005, Jingyuan Electronics held its initial public offering become a listed company on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.[3][4]
In June 2010, Tsinghua Tongfang acquired a 25% stake of Jingyuan Electronics making it the largest shareholder. This was done to provide more support to Jingyuan Electronics to upgrade its technology. Later on Tongfang became the controlling shareholder through a stock swap making Jingyuan part of the Tsinghua Holdings group.[3]
In July 2012, Jingyuan Electronics was officially renamed to Tongfang Guoxin Electronics.[3]
In November 2015, Tsinghua Unigroup stated it would buy a 36.4% stake in Tongfang Guoxin and become its controlling shareholder.[5] Tongfang Guoxin also planned an 80 billion yuan private placement but this was later suspended.[5][6] Tongfang Guoxin was later renamed to Unigroup Guoxin.[6]
In April 2018, Unigroup Guoxin was renamed to Unigroup Guoxin Microelectronics.[6] In September 2018, Tsinghua Holdings sold further shares of Guoxin Micro to Tsinghua Unigroup which gave Tsinghua Unigroup a 51% stake.[6]
