Resolution: |
|
Case 1 (proposed by the Board of Directors)
|
Proposal:
|
To discuss whether to consecutively or simultaneously select one of or combine cash capital increase by issuing common shares and GDR, domestic cash capital increase by issuing common shares, and privately offered foreign convertible corporate bonds.
|
Explanation:
|
To finance future capacity expansion, provide for working capital increases, repay bank loans, or cope with other needs for funds in the longer term, the Company is urged to authorize the board of directors to consecutively or simultaneously select one of or combine issuing GDRs through cash capital increases, conducting domestic cash capital increases by issuing common shares, and privately offering foreign convertible corporate bonds according to articles of incorporation, relevant regulations and the following rules.
1. The principles to issue new common shares and GDR for capital increase in cash shall be as follows:
(1) This capital increase by issuing common shares and GDR shall not exceed 500 million shares with the board of directors authorized to decide how many shares to be issued depending on market circumstances.
(2) The price at which shares are issued via issuance of GDRs through cash capital increases shall not fall below 90% of the simple arithmetic mean of the share's closing price on the date the issue price is set and its closing price one, three or five days prior to the price-setting date after adjustment for any distribution of stock dividends (or cancelled shares for capital reduction) as per "Self-imposed Rules Governing Underwriters Assisting Companies in Issuing Securities" announced by Taiwan Securities Association. If relevant regulations change, the pricing method may be changed accordingly. As share prices often fluctuate substantially in a short time, the president is authorized to set the issue price by following international practices after consulting the underwriter and considering international capital markets' circumstances, domestic market prices, and the book building status. The GDR's issue price is decided based on the fair market price of the company's common stock. Original shareholders who did not participate in the offering, if for the purpose of maintaining shareholding structure, may purchase common stock in Taiwan's stock market at a price close to the GDR's issue price without having to assume exchange and liquidity risks. In addition, shares issued via issuance of GDRs through cash capital increases will
|
dilute the original shareholders' equity to a maximum of 6.57%, not a major impact on shareholders' rights and interests.
(3) 10%~15% of common shares issued for this capital increase in cash shall, according to Article 267 of The Company Act, be reserved for subscription by company employees and the shareholders meeting will be requested to fully appropriated the remaining 85%~90% for open issuance as the securities for GDR as the original shareholders have waived their rights for subscription in accordance with Article 28-1 of the Securities Exchange Act. For the part that employees have not subscribed, the president is authorized to contact specific party for purchase or, depending on the market requirements, list as the original securities for participation in the issuance of GDR.
(4) The funds raised by shares issued via issuance of GDRs through this cash capital increases shall be used to expanding the factories, purchase equipment, purchase materials overseas, make reinvestments, and/or repay bank loans. Implementation shall be completed within 2 years after the funds are raised. The project is expected to boost the Company's competitiveness, improve its efficiency, and have a positive impact on shareholders' rights and interests.
(5) The board of directors is authorized to adjust, set, and administer the major contents of the cash capital increase by GDR issuance plan, which includes issuance rules, source of capital, plan items, estimated progress and estimated probable effect generated as well as other matters relevant to the issuance of GDR, according to market conditions. If a cash capital increase must be changed as ordered by the regulatory authority or required by circumstances, the board of directors is authorized to make corresponding changes.
(6) In conjunction with the issuance method of common shares for this capital increase in cash and participation in GDR issuance, the president or his designated representative is authorized to represent the Company in signing all documents related to the participation in the issuance of GDR as well as handling all needed matters.
2. The principles for domestic cash capital increase by issuing common shares:
(1) The number of common shares issued for this domestic cash capital increase may not exceed 500 million shares.
(2) Face value of shares issued via cash capital increases is NT$10 per share. The issue price shall be decided by the president after consulting the underwriter as per "Self-imposed Rules Governing Underwriters Assisting Companies in Issuing Securities" announced by Taiwan Securities Association and market conditions at time of issue and filed
|
with the regulatory authority.
(3) According to Article 28-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, the underwriting method for the publicly offered portion shall be decided by the board of directors as authorized between public subscription and book building.
A. If public subscription is selected:
Apart from the 10%~15% of the issued shares to be reserved for employee subscription at the actual issue price according to Article 267 of the Company Act, 10% of the newly issued shares will be publicly offered to comply with Article 28-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, while the remaining 75%~80% will be subscribed by the existing shareholders based on the shareholding percentages on the basis date. For an existing shareholder who holds less than enough shares to subscribe one new share, joint subscription with other shareholders or combined subscription by one person will be allowed; any existing shareholder who does not subscribe authorizes the president to subscribe at the issue price from the designated person.
B. If book building is selected:

Description of Significant Differences between Our Governance Practices and the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules Applicable to U.S. Companies
|
Director independence
|
|
Listed companies must have a majority of independent directors, as defined under the NYSE listing standards.
|
Two members of our board of directors are independent as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. We do not assess the independence of our directors under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards.
Pursuant to relevant laws and regulations of the ROC, we have two independent directors on our board of directors that were elected through the candidate nomination system at our annual general meeting on June 21, 2012.
|
To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, the non-management directors of each company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
|
All of our directors attend the meetings of the board of directors. Our non-management directors do not meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. The ROC Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the ROC to have their non-management directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
|
Nominating/Corporate governance committee
|
|
Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards.
|
We do not have a nominating/corporate governance committee. The ROC Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the ROC to have a nominating/corporate governance committee.
Currently, our board of directors performs the duties of a corporate governance committee and regularly reviews our corporate governance principles and practices.
The ROC Company Law requires that directors be elected by shareholders. Under ROC law and regulations, companies that have independent directors are required to adopt a candidate nomination system for the election of independent directors. Our two independent directors were elected through the candidate nomination system provided in our articles of incorporation. All of our non-independent directors were elected directly by our shareholders at our
|
shareholders meetings without a nomination process. | |
Compensation committee
|
|
Listed companies must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards.
|
We have established a compensation committee on September 29, 2011 which was required by the regulations promulgated by the FSC in March 2011. The charter of such committee contains similar responsibilities as those provided under NYSE listing standards.
|
Audit committee
|
|
Listed companies must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
|
We have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, public companies shall either establish an audit committee or install supervisors provided that the FSC may, after considering the scale, business nature of a public company and other essential conditions, require the company to establish an audit committee in place of its supervisor. The FSC has promulgated such compulsory ruling on February 20, 2013 (the “FSC Ruling”), and all public companies meeting the criteria provided in the FSC Ruling shall retain an audit committee no later than the expiration of the term of the current directors and supervisors. We currently have supervisors and shall replace our supervisors by establishing an audit committee no later than the expiration of the term of our current directors and supervisors in accordance with the FSC Ruling.
|
The audit committee must have a minimum of three members.
|
We currently have two members on our audit committee. Our audit committee members satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. We do not assess the independence of our audit committee member under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards.
|
In addition to any requirement of Rule 10A-3(b)(1), all audit committee members must satisfy the independence requirements for independent directors set out in the NYSE listing standards.
|
|
The audit committee must have a written charter that provides for the duties and responsibilities set out in Rule 10A-3 and addresses certain other matters required by the NYSE listing standards.
|
Our audit committee charter provides for the audit committee to assist our board of directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditor and (iii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and provides for the duties and responsibilities set out in Rule 10A-3. Our audit committee charter does not address all the matters required by the NYSE listing standards beyond the requirements of Rule 10A-3.
Because the appointment and retention of our independent auditor are the responsibility of our entire board of directors under ROC law and regulations, our audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to these matters.
|
Each listed company must have an internal audit function.
|
We have an internal audit function. Under the ROC Regulations for the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies, a public company is required to set out its internal control systems in writing, including internal audit implementation rules, which must be approved by the board of directors.
Our entire board of directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the establishment of the internal audit functions, compliance with the internal audit implementation rules and oversight of our internal control systems, including the appointment and retention of our independent auditor.
|
Equity compensation plans
|
|
Shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, except for employment inducement awards, certain grants, plans and amendments in the context of mergers and acquisitions, and certain specific types of plans.
|
We comply with the corresponding requirements of the ROC Company Law, the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, and the ROC Criteria Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, which require shareholders’ approval for the distribution of employee bonuses, while the board of directors has authority to approve employee stock option plans by a majority vote of the board of directors at a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present and to grant options to employees pursuant to such plans, subject to the approval of the Securities and Futures Bureau of the FSC, and to approve treasury stock programs and the transfer of shares to employees under such programs by a majority vote of the board of directors in a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present.
|
Corporate governance guidelines
|
|
Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines.
|
We currently comply with the domestic non-binding Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for Taiwan Stock Exchange and GreTai Securities Market Listed Companies promulgated by the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the GreTai Securities Market, and we provide an explanation of differences between our practice and the principles, if any, in our ROC annual report.
|
Code of ethics for directors, officers and employees
|
|
Listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers.
|
We have adopted a code of ethics that satisfies the requirements of Item 16B of Form 20-F and applies to all employees, officers, supervisors and directors of our company and our subsidiaries and will disclose any waivers of the code as required by Item 16B of Form 20-F. We have posted our code of ethics on our website.

CEO certification
|
|
Each listed company CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards, qualifying the certification to the extent necessary.
|
As a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with this rule; however, our Chief Executive Officer provides certifications under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
|
Each listed company CEO must promptly notify the NYSE in writing after any executive officer of the listed company becomes aware of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A.
|
We intend to comply with this requirement.
|
Each listed company must submit an executed Written Affirmation annually to the NYSE. In addition, each listed company must submit an interim Written Affirmation each time a change occurs to the board or any of the committees subject to Section 303A. The annual and interim Written Affirmations must be in the form specified by the NYSE.
|
We have complied with this requirement to date and intend to continue to comply going forward.
