Selective quoting is not very healthy, from the same piece:

"We don't have any 'take-or-pay' arrangements, so it minimizes our risk during a downturn," Eichler said. And the company has been guaranteed space in the fab when the market tightens, he noted."

Guess who takes on the risk during a downturn of operating a $1 B fab at less than full capacity? TSEM, of course. And the problem I cited is the timing, the fab will open, unfortunately, in the middle of the next "downturn".
