TOKYO — If Canyon Bridge Capital Partners (Palo Alto, Calif.) succeeds in purchasing Imagination Technologies without a hitch, it will be the very first time the Chinese government-backed buyout fund has closed any deal since the firm was founded in 2016.

But the big monkey wrench in the works might be the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). In an interview with EE Times last week, Ray Bingham, partner at Canyon Bridge, told us he doesn’t believe the Imagination deal will be reviewed by CFIUS, because Imagination is U.K.-based. But he added, “You never know.”
