On April 30, 2018, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (“ASE”) completed a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) pursuant to which ASE Industrial Holding Co., Ltd. (“HoldCo”) was established and acquired all issued and outstanding shares of 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 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.
