LONDON (Reuters) - A fall in the value of sterling after Britons voted to leave the European Union did not affect Japanese firm SoftBank's (>> SoftBank Group Corp) decision to buy British chip designer ARM Holdings (>> ARM Holdings plc), its chairman and CEO said on Monday.

"We did not use this as an opportunity to buy cheaper... Brexit did not bring us any discount," Masayoshi Son told reporters at a news conference in London.
