<p><span data-contrast="auto">Strategic investors, such as Apple and Nvidia, indicated they will invest between $25m and $100m each in what is turning out to be the IPO of the year so far. The last indications were that SoftBank set aside 10% of Arm shares for the IPO.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Notably, Amazon, which showed previous interest in an Arm investment, resolved not to participate and requested anonymity. However the chips may fall, Arm’s resolve as an impartial participant in the industry is being put to the test.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Owning an interest share will not provide a seat on the board or the management of Arm.
