as a 2 1/2-year lockup period expires in April.TSMC, a supplier of chips to Apple Inc. and Qualcomm Inc., is
selling 21 million ASML shares at 62.59 euros apiece, Chief Financial Officer Lora Ho told reporters in Taipei. The Hsinchu, Taiwan-based company will book a profit of 21 billion Taiwanese dollars ($660 million) from the sale.
ASML shares rose 0.6 percent to 87.90 euros at 10:26 a.m. in Amsterdam, leaving them 40 percent higher than the price at which TSMC is selling. Ho said TSMC has signed contracts with buyers over the past two years, when ASML shares were trading at a lower price than currently.“It is not up to us to comment on TSMC’s transaction, but our relationship with TSMC remains very strong,” Lucas van Grinsven, an ASML spokesman spokesman, said by phone.
