As at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the approval of the Possible Disposals.

Notes:
-
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued ChipMOS Taiwan ADS was 42,830,000 as listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “IMOS”.
-
For the purpose of the circular, amounts in US$ are converted into HK$ at the rate of US$1 = HK$7.755, the conversion rates are for illustration purpose only and should not be taken as a representation that US$ has been, could in the future, be converted into HK$ at this or any other rate of exchange.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE POSSIBLE DISPOSALS
All the ChipMOS Taiwan ADS held by the Company (including the First Batch Disposed Shares, the Second Batch Disposed Shares, the Third Batch Disposed Shares, the Fourth Batch Disposed Shares, the Fifth Batch Disposed Shares and the Possible Disposed Shares) had/have been classified as available-for-sale financial assets of the Company in its financial statements. Since the Possible Disposed Shares had been accounted for as available-for-sale investment and the fair value gain due to valuation of such ChipMOS Taiwan ADS held was credited to an investment reserve account, instead of being recognised through the profit and loss of the Group’s consolidated income statement for the six months ended 30 June 2017, therefore the Possible Disposed Shares have been stated at its market value for the six months ended 30 June 2017.
The Possible Disposals will increase the amount of cash of the Group and decrease in investment. For the year ended 31 December 2016, the Company had received dividend of approximately US$133,882, in respect of the Possible Disposed Shares. As the Minimum Disposal Price equals to the acquisition cost of each Possible Disposed Share, the Company expects to recognise a gain for the Possible Disposals if the disposal price exceeds the acquisition cost of the Possible Disposed Shares, which is calculated on the basis of the difference between the initial cost and the disposal price (exclusive of transaction costs).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR THE POSSIBLE DISPOSALS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Group is principally engaged in design and distribution of integrated circuits and semiconductor parts and investments holding.
Having regard to the then share market conditions and the trading price of ChipMOS Taiwan ADS, the management of the Company considers that the Possible Disposals represent good opportunities for the Company to realize a gain in its investment in ChipMOS Taiwan. It is expected that the net proceeds of the Possible Disposals will be used as (i) the payment for the Acquisition of the remaining balance of HK$10,000,000 (subject to adjustments) by the Company to Fortune Favour International Limited (the “ Vendor ”) (or its nominee(s)), subject to the fulfilment of the conditions precedent to the sale and purchase agreement; and/or (ii) its additional working capital for the expenditure of and funding for any future acquisition or investment in the business operation of Wit Sky Limited (together with its subsidiaries, the “ Target Group ”) as and when suitable opportunities arise. However as at the Latest Practicable Date, save as the above mentioned, the Company has not identified other acquisitions of investment targets. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is still in the due diligence review on the assets, liabilities, operations and affairs of the Target Group. The Company is negotiating in good faith with the Vendor and the completion of the Acquisition is targeted to be on or before 28 February 2018 or such later date as the Vendor and the Company may agree in writing.
Given the Possible Disposals will be made in the open market through the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the Directors consider that the Possible Disposed Shares will be sold at the then prevailing market prices and the terms of the Possible Disposals are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable. The Directors also consider that the Possible Disposals are in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
