It seems Apple already holds some kind of ownership over ARM. From ARM Wikipedia page:

The Company was founded in November 1990 as Advanced RISC Machines Ltd and structured as a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple Inc and VLSI Technology

That means Apple was an initial investor, so it held stock in ARM. Somebody here posted that Apple sold its stock years ago, though.

Related question: is there actually public information on who are the major stockholders of a publically traded corporation? I'd love to see that.

In the UK, all public companies (except those threatened by animal right extremists) must maintain a public register of all shareholders.

Is said register accessible online?
