Ampere was established in 2017 when MACOM divested its ARM-based compute processor business of Applied Micro Circuits Corporation. In consideration for the divestiture, MACOM received a minority equity interest in Ampere with limited rights. Purchaser exercised its right to purchase all of MACOM’s equity in Ampere for a value that was determined in 2017 at the time Ampere was established.
In conjunction with this transaction, MACOM expects to record a gain on its GAAP Statement of Operations for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021, reflecting the difference between the cash consideration and the carrying value of its Ampere investment, as of the date of sale.
