Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Ltd.
The necessity and reasonableness for conducting a private placement of securities with equity characteristics such as preferred shares
Orient Semiconductor Electronics, Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “the company” or “OSE”) The private placement this time is to introduce a strategic investor and meet the fund needs of future long-term business development while mastering the timeliness and convenience of fund raising. The Company proposed to conduct a private placement of Class B preferred shares and Class C preferred shares (hereinafter referred to as the “Private Placement”) of up to 300,000 thousand shares and a ceiling amount of NT$3,000,000,000 which was resolved by the board of directors’ meeting held on October 16, 2020. The Private Placement is intended to be used for strengthening working capital, repaying bank loans and/or meeting capital needs for future long-term business development. However, the Private Placement may only be proceeded after being approved by the Company’s board of directors’ meeting then submitted to the first extraordinary general meeting for approval on December 3, 2020.
After consulting with the Company’s management, it is proposed to introduce the strategic investor - CHIPBOND TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (“CB”) for the Private Placement, and the Company and CB will enter into a cooperation agreement for the strategic cooperation. Other than conducting the private placement, there are share exchanges and share transfers being carried out between specific shareholders of the Company and Chipbond Technology Corporation. In this case, the Company does not exclude the possibility that specific shareholders of the Company, in their capacity as directors of the Company, may transfer more than 50% of their shareholding in order to fulfill the clauses of the cooperation agreement, resulting in natural termination of his employment. In summary, the Company cannot eliminate the possibility that there may be future changes in the managerial control in order to comply with the clauses stipulated in Paragraph 3, Article 4 of the “Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities”: “If there is a significant change in managerial control within the 1 year period immediately preceding the day on which the board of directors resolves on the private placement, or there will be a significant change in managerial control after the introduction of a strategic investor through private placement, also disclose the assessment opinion issued by the securities underwriter on the necessity and reasonableness for conducting the private placement.” Therefore, as required by the regulations, the assessment opinion issued by the securities underwriter on the necessity and reasonableness for conducting the Private Placement is as follows:
The content of the assessment opinion is intended as a supplemental reference to the
- 29 -
Private Placement for the resolution of the board of directors’ meeting on October 16, 2020 and will not be used for other purposes. The Company hereby declares that where there are changes in the Private Placement or other matters that may result in changes in the content of the assessment, the underwriter will not be liable for any legal responsibility.
- The necessity and reasonableness for conducting the Private Placement
I.The necessity for conducting the Private Placement
The Company’s operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were NT$15,188,192 thousand, NT$17,515,145 thousand and NT$7,142,462, respectively. The net attributable to the parent company was NT$(111,548) thousand, NT$587,960 thousand and NT$(266,029) thousand, respectively. In a bid to enforce its long-term business strategy, the Company has been dedicated to expanding its business scope and serving the needs of customers which will require capital for future development. However, considering that the Company’s Debt-asset ratio was 61.4% as of June 30, 2020, if the Company sought for financing from the financial institutions, it may not obtain favorable borrowing conditions, and may deteriorate its financial structure which would not ideal for the improvement of the Company's physical fitness. In summary, in order to take into account the fact that the situation of open market fund raising is difficult to grasp, the purposes of improving financial structure while bringing in stable long-term capital, and the rule that securities privately placed cannot be freely transferred within three years can also stabilize the Company’s equity structure. Therefore, the Company’s proposal of issuing securities through a private placement shall have its necessity.
II.The reasonableness for conducting the Private Placement
The reasonableness of the Private Placement is evaluated in the following 3 respects:
1. The reasonableness of the issuance process of the Private Placement
The proposal information about its motion content, expected issuance procedure, the price setting method, issuance conditions for preferred shares, and the selection method of specific persons reviewed on the board of directors’ meeting held on October 16, 2020 are deemed in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Act and relevant laws and regulations; there are no material abnormalities.
2. The reasonableness of the type of securities selected for the Private Placement
The type of securities selected for the Private Placement is preferred shares, of which Class B preferred shares are non-convertible and Class C preferred
- 30 -
shares are convertible. The company chose to issue preferred shares mainly because the issuance of common stock would immediately have a dilutive effect on EPS; therefore, the issuance of preferred shares with interest not only helps the Company’s long-term business development, improves the Company’s financial structure, it also brings in stable long-term capital. Class B preferred shares on the other hand have the issuance conditions including the right to redemption after 3 years by the Company or an expiration period of 5 years, where Class B preferred shares can be converted into common stock by the Company after 3 years at the earliest. With the diversified terms and conditions that meet the needs of both the Company and the strategic investor, the selection of the preferred shares in the Private Placement is reasonable.
- The reasonableness of the expected benefits of the Private Placement
The funds raised by the Private Placement are expected to be used to strengthen working capital, repay bank loans, and/or meet capital needs for future long-term development. The Company’s primary businesses are packaging and testing services for various memory applications and electronic manufacturing services (EMS). The Company is currently moving towards the development of the flash memory market while continuing to research and develop packaging method for advanced products for various applications and selecting strategic partners who possess advantages. In addition, EMS will continue to expand its SSD production bases, and with the deployment plans of major customers’ global capacity, the Company will build its production capacity to serve the world’s top customers.

The selection of a placee and his/her feasibility and necessity
-
(1) The selection direction of a placee
Based on the proposal information of the board’s meeting held on October 16, 2020, the placee for the Private Placement shall be limited to Strategic investors who can directly or indirectly benefit the Company's future operations as required by the requirements stipulated in Article 43 of the Securities and Exchange Act and Order No. Tai-Cai-Zhen-1 0910003455 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on June 13, 2002.
- 31 -
(2) The feasibility and necessity of the selection of placees
The Company’s IC packaging products are primarily used in flash memory, flash memory-related applications in computers, electronic communication products, and NAND controller ICs, etc. At the moment, the expected placee - Chipbond Technology Corporation’s IC packaging products are large, medium and small-sized display driver ICs and bumping manufacturing services used in communication market products. There are currently no conflicts between these 2 companies in the product application market. Also, based on the fact that the Company is planning for system-in-package (SiP) foundry, both companies can strategically work together in the production of advanced IC packaging technology, to achieve technical cooperation and professional division of labor to jointly enter the target market, creating another growth momentum for the Company. Therefore, it should be feasible and necessary to introduce Chipbond Technology Corporation as a strategic investor for the private placement.

The Company has currently issued 557,114,533 shares; the ceiling for a private placement of securities with equity characteristics such as preferred shares is 300,000,000 shares. However, the securities in the Private Placement are preferred shares that do not carry voting rights in common stock. Among them, the Class B preferred shares may not be converted into common stock while the Class C may be converted into common stock after 3 years at the earliest depending on the Company's situation. Also, apart from the Private Placement between the Company and its expected placee - Chipbond Technology Corporation, there are still transactions between the Company's specific shareholders and Chipbond Technology Corporation in terms of share exchange and transfer of shares; therefore, the Company cannot eliminate the possibility that there may be future changes in the managerial control when Chipbond Technology Corporation gains a seat in the board. The impact on the Company's business, financial and shareholders’ equity is explained as follows:
(1) Impact on the Company’s business
By introducing a strategic investor in the private placement, both companies are able to fully exchange and cooperate on production technology, manufacturing, and management experiences.

Therefore, the private placement shall be beneficial to the Company's finance.
(3) Impact on the Company's shareholders’ equity

The Company is committed to creating profit sources and competitive niches so that both companies are able to fully exchange and cooperate on production technology, manufacturing, and management experiences. Also, given that there are no conflicts between the two companies in the product application market, they can both enter their target market through strategic cooperation.

Therefore, the private placement shall be beneficial to shareholders’ equity.
