Private Placement
Proposal: Proposal for 2017 cash capital increase by private placement.
Description: In order to have enough working capital for business growth, the Company proposes to issue common shares by private placement in less than three tranches within one year starting from the resolution date of Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. The terms of common shares are shown below:
1. Issue Amount and Shares: Maximum NT$300M and maximum 10M shares
2. Par Value: NT$ 10 per share
3. The basis and reasonableness of the private placement pricing:
(1) The Issue Price is currently expected to be not less than 80% of the Reference Price (as defined below). The reference price is the net worth per share shown on the financial report audited and certified or reviewed by a CPA for the period closest to the price determination date.
(2) If the price per share of the privately placed common shares might possibly be lower than the par value of the shares, such pricing and issuance is still necessary since this cash capital increase can facilitate the stable growth and financial structure of the company and also shareholders’ equity. The impact on shareholders’ equity will be an increase in accumulated loss incurred from the effect of the price difference. However, such accumulated loss will be eliminated according to future business development.
(3) It is proposed that the Shareholders’ Meeting authorizes the Board of Directors to determine the actual pricing date and issuing price according to the situation of placees and market and in compliance with the approved percentage for the private placement pricing by the Shareholders’ Meeting.
4. The method for selecting the placees: In compliance with Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Currently. The criteria of placees are as follows.
(1) Natural persons, juristic persons, or funds meeting the conditions prescribed by the Competent Authority.
(2) Selection method and purpose: The placees can understand and bring benefits to the company in future development.
5. If any placee is a strategic investor:
(1) Selection method and purpose: The placee can support any management and finance resources the company needs.
(2) Necessity and expected benefits: To strengthen the competitive advantage of the company and bring forth the synergy of product and market development.
(3) Currently, there is no confirmed strategic investor.
6. If any placee is an internal person of the Company:
(1) Selection method and purpose: The placee knows the company well in a certain level and can directly or indirectly facilitate the future operation of the company.
(2) Necessity and expected benefits: To strengthen the financial structure and sustainable development and to bring forth the business improvement.
(3) If any placee is an internal person of the Company, it will be limited to the directors and supervisors of the BOD and the managers of the company, which possibly are Patrick Hsieh (chairman), Joan Yang(director), Kevin Chuang (director), Mark Chang (independent director), Antony Huang (independent director), Hanson Tsai (supervisor), Yiting Lee (supervisor), Jackson Chen (Sales VP), Philemon Chuang (CFO), Benson Wang (accounting manager).
7. The reasons necessitating the private placement:
(1) The reason for not using public placement: The company currently at the developing stage needs to raise fund to reinforce operation through private placement which is more efficient and convenient comparing to public placement. If through public placement, it will take too long to inject fund into the company in time. The company also needs strategic investors to facilitate its long term development. And the private placement with a three-year lock-in period can strengthen the long term partnership between the company and strategic investors. So, it is necessary to raise fund by private placement not public placement.
