The company's board of directors resolved on May 13, 2026, to conduct a private placement of common shares, with the total number not exceeding 16,400,000 shares. The placement is expected to be carried out in two tranches within one year from the shareholders' meeting resolution, with 8,200,000 shares in each tranche. Eligible subscribers will be specific persons under Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act, with priority given to strategic investors who can benefit the company's long-term development, competitiveness, and existing shareholders' interests. No subscribers have been finalized yet, and the board plans to seek shareholder authorization to handle related matters. The issue price will be no less than 80% of the higher benchmark reference price calculated under applicable rules, and no lower than the par value of NT0 per share. The actual pricing date, reference price, and final private placement price have not yet been determined. Proceeds will be used to repay borrowings and replenish working capital, aiming to reduce interest burden, improve the financial structure, and enhance operational efficiency. The company said it chose a private placement because it is faster and more flexible, helps introduce strategic investors, and the three-year transfer restriction can support a long-term partnership. Independent directors expressed no dissenting or qualified opinions. The privately placed common shares will generally carry the same rights and obligations as existing common shares, but transfers within three years from delivery must comply with Article 43-8 of the Securities and Exchange Act. After the three-year period, the company plans to apply for retroactive public issuance approval and listing in accordance with applicable regulations.
