More good news
Indie is not part of THBR so "the stock" is trading the a red headed stepchild - like many SPACs. When we see merged financials, then we see whether or not Indie trades well.
They seem to be smart about PR. Perhaps the stock is lagging due to the chip supply problems, even though the company ceo said they are doing fine with the shortage.
Agree. Should see movement once all the official stuff gets done. Loaded a few down here in this low .10 range some time ago and just watching for now. GLTA
$THBR
I think it has us all here scratching our heads as to why we are at this price. I do believe Indie will be back on cnbc after or the day of ticker change. With more news to follow
Wow! What a great interview! Thanks for the link.

Not me , maybe hedge funds pushing down before merger seems that ya with every spac
Not me. Merger just weeks away and this company likes to do PR and is in a hot sector. Probably will eventually get bought out.
Maybe now we will get deserved attention with all this shortage talk? Realistically we should be trading in the $20's+ if not 30's

THBR filed today. Deal moving forward!
It was briefly oversold after being briefly overbought. Looking for a trend soon. $20.00 is my target.
Any reason for the spike this morning? SEC approval of S-4 should be soon.
Don't have time for "thinking."
When do you think
THBR has a lot going forward it. A gradual s rise in Nasdaq would help. When do you think we’ll hear SEC approval for the merger?

“indie is empowering the Autotech revolution with our highly innovative system solutions,” said Donald McClymont, indie’s co-founder, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our mixed signal SoC platforms are enabling a diverse set of rapidly emerging automotive megatrends that have reached an inflection point. Accordingly, we are excited to partner with Thunder Bridge II at this key growth juncture to capitalize on our existing design win pipeline, extend indie’s product reach, drive scale and further consolidate within Autotech, ultimately creating shareholder value as a public company.”
Upon the closing of the transaction, the combined company will be led by indie’s management team. Prior to founding indie, Donald McClymont held executive roles at Axiom, Skyworks and Conexant. He is joined by Co-founder and President Ichiro Aoki, Ph.D., and Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Scott Kee, Ph.D., as well as Chief Financial Officer and EVP of Strategy, Thomas Schiller, who previously led highly successful IPOs and M&A initiatives at Skyworks, Conexant and Rockwell Semiconductor Systems.

Indie Semiconductor SPAC: What Investors Should Know About The Autonomous Vehicle Play
December 15, 2020
Benzinga
By Chris Katje
A leading pure-play provider of semiconductor and software solutions for automotive companies is going public via a special purpose acquisition company deal.
The SPAC Deal: Indie Semiconductor is going public via the SPAC Thunder Bridge Acquisition II (NASDAQ: THBR). The deal values the company at an enterprise value of around $1 billion.
Shares of the new company will trade as "INDI" on the Nasdaq. Shareholders of Thunder Bridge Acquisition II will own 23.8% of the new company.
About Indie: Indie is helping automotive companies with autonomous connectivity, user experience and vehicle electrification.
The company said it has unparalleled semiconductor and software integration, with an efficient design process.
Indie has deals in place with 12 Tier 1-approved vendors, including Magna International (NYSE: MGA) and Aptiv (NYSE: APTV).
The company has already shipped more than 100 million devices and said it is increasing its OEM penetration and content per vehicle.
Indie lists Silicon Laboratories (NASDAQ: SLAB) and Ambarella Inc (NASDAQ: AMBA) as competitors.
Financials: Indie has a backlog of over $2 billion in deals and a pipeline of $2.5 billion in possible opportunities.
Revenue is estimated at $23 million for fiscal 2020. (2021 23M X 1.85 = 42.55M to$60M) (2022 42,55 X 1.85 = 78.72M to$110M) Revenue is expected to ramp up beginning in 2023, with estimates of $204 million, $349 million and $501 million, respectively, for the years 2023-2025.
From 2020 to 2025, Indie sees revenue growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 85%. Over 60% of aggregate revenue through 2025 is already at the shipping or won stage for the company.
Growth: The deal is expected to fund pent-up demand for additional programs, according to the company. Indie said its target market is $16 billion and will grow to $38 billion by 2025.
The strong demand for silicon and software inside automobiles is set to help Indie’s growth. Today, vehicles have around $310 in silicon content per vehicle. In the future, that total could rise to more than $4,000 per vehicle.
Multiple secular growth drivers like autonomous vehicles, connectivity in vehicles and electric vehicles are expected to help the company’s growth.
Phase II for the company also includes shipping a revolutionary lidar solution in 2023.
THBR Price Action: Shares of Thunder Bridge Acquisition II were up 3.6% at $10.80 at last check Tuesday. Shares traded over $12 in pre-market trading.

Good evening -
The Covid-19 pandemic is claiming another casualty. And it’s one that could threaten the “V-shaped” recovery we are being promised.
I’m referring to semiconductors. The chips have become ubiquitous in so many devices we use every day. Our smartphones, tablets, laptops, and in some cases appliances and personal assistants all are powered by these powerful chips.
And if you’ve ever tried working on your car, you know that semiconductor chips are used in many different ways. The problem is that the industry is pivoting to electric vehicles and, eventually, autonomous vehicles. But in the here and now, there is still demand for chips in internal combustion vehicles.
When the pandemic first started, the shortage of chips wasn’t as noticeable. Auto manufacturers were shut down. And people weren’t buying new cars, let alone doing much driving. But that is starting to change. Demand for new cars is increasing. Part of this is because Americans are calculating that hitting the open road may be the most convenient travel option in 2021.
But electric cars aren’t ready yet. And that means there’s a shortage of the chips needed for the mundane, but vital tasks of steering, braking, and even powering windows up and down.
Part of the problem is that U.S. businesses are heavily reliant on countries like China and Taiwan for their semiconductors. In fact, only about 12.5% of semiconductor manufacturing is done in the United States.
According to the consulting firm AlixPartners, the chip shortage could potentially cost the automotive industry over $60 billion in revenue in 2021. That loss will be felt throughout the entire supply chain from the dealers and automakers down to the smallest suppliers. And this is exactly the kind of slowdown the U.S. is desperately trying to avoid as the economy continues its recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
It’s also why now is the ideal time to invest in the companies that are making semiconductors as well as their suppliers. That’s the focus of this special presentation.
