TAIPEI: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, the world’s biggest contract chipmaker, would consider selling itself to a Chinese bidder, Nikkei reported, citing chairman Morris Chang.
Chang said on Saturday from the company’s headquarters in Hsinchu that he would consider an offer of NT$280 (US$8.6) a share for the chipmaker, which “few suitors” would be able to afford, according to the report. The shares fell 1.8% to NT$140 apiece at the close of trading on Nov 6 on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
