Royal Philips Electronics has sold approximately 383 million shares of common stock in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (TSMC).
This completes the multi-phased plan announced in March 2007, for Philips to exit from its shareholding in TSMC. At that time Philips Electronics held a 16.2 percent stake in foundry.
This latest transaction will provide Philips with proceeds of approximately €455 million (about $679million), and will result in a non-taxable gain of approximately €260 million (about $ 388million) in Philips's financial results for the third quarter of 2008.
