EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 6-K is furnished by ASE Industrial Holding Co., Ltd., a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China (“HoldCo”), to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using the EDGAR format type 8-K12B as notice that HoldCo is the successor issuer to Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (“ASE”), under Rule 12g-3(a) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that the American depositary shares of HoldCo are deemed registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Consequently, future filings with the SEC will be made by HoldCo (and no longer by ASE).
On April 30, 2018, ASE completed a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) pursuant to which HoldCo was established and acquired all issued and outstanding shares ASE. Pursuant to the Share Exchange, (i) ASE shareholders received 0.5 HoldCo common shares for each ASE common share issued immediately prior to the effective time of the Share Exchange, and (ii) ASE shareholders received 1.25 HoldCo American depositary shares, each representing two HoldCo common shares, for each ASE American depositary share, representing five ASE common shares, upon the surrender for cancellation of ASE American depositary shares after the effective time of the Share Exchange. Following the Share Exchange, ASE has become a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo.
The issuance of the HoldCo American depositary shares was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-214752), filed by ASE and declared effective by the SEC on January 22, 2018 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement is incorporated by reference herein.
The American depositary shares of HoldCo represented by American depositary receipts are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ASX,” the same symbol under which the American depositary receipts of ASE were traded prior to the completion of the Share Exchange.
The description of the common shares and American depositary shares of HoldCo contained in “Description of HoldCo Common Shares” and “ Description of HoldCo American Depositary Shares” of the Registration Statement is incorporated by reference herein.
