MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings Inc MTSI completed the sale of its equity interest in Ampere Computing Holdings LLC to Denver Acquisition Corp for a predetermined cash consideration amount of ~$127.7 million.

The purchaser has exercised its right to purchase MACOM's equity in Ampere for a value that was determined in 2017.
MACOM sees a gain on its GAAP Statement of Operations for FY21, reflecting the difference between the cash consideration and the carrying value of its Ampere investment as of the date of sale.
Price Action: MTSI shares traded higher by 2.22% at $79.20 on the last check Monday.
