16. Transactions With Affiliate:
Our business includes certain transactions with our majority shareholder, Kyocera, that are governed by agreements between the parties that define the sales terms,
including pricing for the products. The nature and amounts of transactions with Kyocera are included in the table below.
Kyocera notified AVX pursuant to the Products Supply and Distribution Agreement in December 2016 of its intent, effective January 1, 2018, to market its
manufactured electronic and interconnect products globally using Kyocera’s sales force rather than continuing to have AVX resell such products in the Americas,
Europe and Asia. During fiscal 2017, 2018 and 2019 sales of Kyocera resale products by AVX were $318,928, $296,316 and $18,951, respectively, and related operating
profit was $17,076, $18,177 and $3,300, respectively
Question:
