Discussion Topics

No. 1: (Proposed by the Board of Directors)

Subject: The proposal to issue common shares by private placement is hereby submitted for resolution.

  • Explanation: 1. In order to raise operating capital to build a robust financial structure, expand the factory and purchase machinery and equipment to increase the scale of operations, and attract long-term strategic partners to meet the needs of the Company's long-term development, and considering the timeliness and convenience of raising funds, the Company intends to increase capital in cash by private placement of new shares. It is estimated that the private placement of commons stock will not exceed 125,000 thousand shares, with a par value of NT$10 per share. It is proposed to have the shareholder meeting authorize the Board to issue shares in one to three installments within one year from the date of the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting, and to determine the number of shares to be issued each time, depending on the actual fund raising situation.

  • In accordance with Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act, the matters that should be explained for private placement are as follows:

    • (1) The basis and reasonableness for the pricing of the private placement

    • A. The price of common shares in this private placement shall not be lower than 80% of the higher of the price calculated using any one of the following two bases before the pricing date.

    • a. The simple arithmetic mean of the closing prices of the common shares for either 1, 3, or 5 business days before the pricing date, after adjustment for any stock dividends, cash dividends or capital reduction.

    • b. The simple arithmetic mean of the closing prices of the common shares for 30 business days before the pricing date, after adjustment for any stock dividends, cash dividends or capital reduction.

    • B. The actual issue price, within the range of not less than the percentage resolved by the shareholders’ meeting, is authorized to be determined by the Board, depending on the negotiations with specific parties and market condition in the future. The aforementioned pricing of private placement complies with the provisions of the Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities, so it is considered reasonable.

    • (2) Selection method of the specific parties, purpose, necessity and expected benefits:

    • A. Selection method and purpose of specific parties: They are selected in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1, Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act and other relevant orders. The selection of subscribers is limited to the strategic investors in the electronics industry who can assist the

  • 5 -

Company in expanding the scale of operations and are complementary to the Company without causing major changes in the Company's future management rights.

  • B. Necessity: In order to integrate the Company's business and reinforce its competitiveness, it is a necessary strategy for the Company's long-term development to incorporate complementary strategic investors in the electronics industry who can expand the Company's future scale of operations.

  • C. Expected benefits: After each round of private placement and the use of funds are completed, it is expected that the Company's competitiveness and operational efficiency can be improved, which will be beneficial to shareholders' equity.

  • D. So far, we have not determined any specific subscribers.

  • (3) Necessary reasons for private placement:

  • Compared with public offering, the requirement of restricted transfer of securities within three years for private placement will better ensure long-term cooperative relationship between the Company and strategic investment partners. Considering the timeliness of fundraising, we choose to issue new shares through private placement instead of public offering for cash capital increase.

  • (4) Use of funds and expected benefits:

  • Depending on the market condition and the situation of the specific parties, we will organize one to three rounds of private placement. The purpose of each private placement is to raise operating capital to build a robust financial structure, expand the factory and purchase machinery and equipment to increase the scale of operations, and attract long-term strategic partners to meet the needs of the Company's long-term development. After each round of private placement and the use of funds are completed, it is expected that the Company's competitiveness and operational efficiency can be improved, which will promote the Company's stable growth and be beneficial to shareholders' equity.

  • The Company reserves the flexibility to conduct one to three private placements of common stock within the private placement quota to increase the opportunity to bring in different strategic investors, to diversify the subscribers of the private placement as much as possible, and to further reduce the chance of changes in management rights as a result of the private placement to ensure the shareholders' equity. In the future, we will also negotiate with the subscribers in advance when looking for strategic investors, so that there will be no major changes in management rights.

  • 6 -

  • The rights and obligations of the common shares of the private placement are the same as those of the Company’s issued common shares; however, according to Article 43-8 of the Securities and Exchange Act, the shares of private placement shall be restricted from transfer within three years from the delivery date. After three years from the date of delivery of the private placement, the Company intends to obtain a letter of consent from the Taiwan Stock Exchange to approve the listing and trading in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations before reporting to the competent authorities to complete the public offering procedures and apply for listing and trading.

  • For this private placement of common shares, it is proposed to request the shareholders’ meeting to authorize the chairman or his designated person to sign and negotiate all contracts and documents related to the private placement on behalf of the Company and handle all matters related to the private placement for the Company.

  • The number of shares, issue price, terms and conditions, planning items and other outstanding matters related to the private placement of common shares are proposed to the shareholders' meeting to authorize the Board of Directors to determine, depending on the market condition and the needs of the Company's operations. In the event that the regulations of the competent authorities or objective circumstances require future changes, the Board of Directors shall also be authorized to handle by following the relevant regulations.
