Sony will sell its shares in DeNA, a Japanese online gaming firm, for around $440 million.
The company has released a statement confirming the deal, saying it will sell 17.72 million shares of DeNA stock to Nomura securities.
The move will bring much-needed cash into the struggling corporation, adding around ¥40.9 billion ($438 million/£291 million) to Q4 earnings.
Selling the DeNA shares is the third money-boosting bid by Sony recently, with sales of offices in New York and Osaka raising $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion respectively.
