TAIPEI, April ​29 (Reuters) - ​Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, ‌has sold its remaining stake in ⁠Arm Holdings, according to a company ‌filing on Wednesday.

Its subsidiary, ‌TSMC Partners, sold 1.11 million Arm shares from April 28 to ​29 at $207.65 each, for a total of about $231 million, the ⁠filing showed.

The disposal resulted in an impact on retained ​earnings of $174 million.

Following the transaction, TSMC no longer holds any ​Arm shares.

The company said ‌the transaction was part of a disposal of an ⁠equity investment, according to the filing.

It has been gradually reducing its ‌stake, having sold 850,000 shares in 2024 at $119.47 each ‌for about $102 million, according to ⁠filings at the ‌time.

Arm shares ​fell 7.98% on Tuesday.
