I grant you, it is a confusing time line, but let me clear this up. Cree sold its consumer lighting products business (think LED light bulbs with "Cree" stamped on them) to Ideal Industries. Then, as the company expanded into other semiconductor areas, they rebranded as Wolfspeed. Finally, Wolfspeed sold the LED components division (think tiny LED chips that go into products) to SGH, effectively spinning it off as a new company called "Cree-LED".

How in god's name do you obtain this kind of intel? Putting together these kinds of corporate merger/acquisition narratives is always a major pain for me!

Being in the industry helps. Not that this is privileged information, but it would be a bit difficult to figure out from the outside.
