  • (i) According to the Gin-Guan-Yin-Kong-Zi No. 10060005191 Order of the Financial Supervisory Commission (referred to as the “FSC” hereinafter) dated January 31, 2012, banks should have Article 25 of the Banking Law scheduled in the shareholders’ meeting one year before the election year to remind shareholders of the relevant provisions.

  • (ii) Reporting matters are as follows:

  • According to Article 25 Paragraph 2 of the Banking Law, the same person or the same related party who has individually, jointly or collectively held over 5% voting shares issued by the same bank must report it to the competent authorities within ten days from the issuing date, and similarly, a cumulative increase or decrease of 1% shareholding beyond the 5% shareholding threshold.

  • According to Article 25 Paragraph 3 of the Banking Law, the same person or the same related party who intends to individually or jointly or collectively hold over 10%, 25%, or 50% voting shares issued by the same bank must report it separately to the competent authorities for approval in advance.

  • According to Article 25 Paragraph 4 of the Banking Law, the shares held by a third party on behalf of the same person or the same related party by trust, appointment or other contract, agreement, and authorization should be included in the shareholding of the same related party.

  • According to Article 25 Paragraph 5 of the Banking Law, before the implementation of the clauses amended on December 9, 2008, the same person or the same related party who has individually or jointly or collectively held over 5% but below 15% voting shares issued by the same bank, must report it to the competent authorities within six months from the implementing date. The shareholding ratio at the time of reporting can be maintained if it is reported to the competent authorities before the deadline. If the original shareholding ratio exceeds 10%, the first-time increase in shareholding should be reported to the competent authorities for approval in advance.

  • According to Article 25 Paragraph 6 of the Banking Law, the guidelines for the same person or the same related party to apply for approval in accordance with Paragraph 3 or the proviso of Paragraph 5 regarding the qualification, enclosures, intended shareholding acquisition, purpose, source of funds, and other requirements are to be stipulated by the competent authorities.
