VERDICT — CONFIRMED
Navitas Semiconductor disclosed in a Form 8-K filed June 9 that director Ranbir Singh resigned from its board effective immediately, relinquishing his post as chair of the board's Executive Steering Committee. The filing, signed by president and CEO Chris Allexandre, said Singh's resignation letter 'did not provide any reason for his resignation,' and pointed investors to Schedule 13D filings Singh made on April 23 and May 29, 2026, in which the GeneSiC founder — whose silicon-carbide company Navitas acquired in 2022 — disclosed a stake of about 6.4%.
Form 4 filings show Singh sold 3,724,176 Class A shares across May 27-28 at weighted average prices of $29.29 and $28.72. The exit landed a day after Navitas filed an automatic shelf registration and a prospectus supplement for an at-the-market program to sell up to $500 million of Class A stock through UBS Investment Bank, Morgan Stanley and Needham & Company.
Navitas shares fell 6.6% to $22.85 on June 9, trading between $20.71 and $25.58 as more than 42.5 million shares changed hands, interrupting a rally driven by the company's 800-volt power-delivery work tied to Nvidia's AI data-center architecture. Singh joined the board in late 2024 after serving as a Navitas executive vice president.
Why it matters
an unexplained board exit by a major insider shareholder, paired with a $500 million dilution program, injects governance risk into one of the AI power-chip rally's most crowded trades.
