(TWSE code: 2311, NYSE code: ASX, hereafter “ASE”) jointly announced today that each party’s respective board of directors has passed resolution to approve the entering into and execution of a joint share exchange agreement between SPIL and ASE (the “Agreement”) and agrees to establish a holding company (the “Holdco”). Major stipulations and purposes of the Agreement are set forth below:

1. ASE and SPIL jointly agree to establish Holdco, which will be listed in the Taiwan Stock Exchange and whose American depositary shares will be listed in the New York Stock Exchange. Upon the establishment of the Holdco, ASE and SPIL will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the HoldCo and become sibling companies. Through this parallel operation model which incentivizes healthy internal competition and promotes cooperation, ASE and SPIL strive to improve each’s operating efficiency, economy of scale as well as R&D and innovation results, thereby creating an environment of mutual assistance and win-win mentality, strengthening competitiveness and improving the performance of Holdco, with the main goals of improving the quality of customer service, creating shareholder value and benefiting the employees.

2. Upon the establishment of the Holdco, ASE and SPIL will each maintain its separate legal entity status, retain its respective legal entity name as well as independent business and operation model. ASE and SPIL will each retain its respective management team and employees and maintain its current organizational structure, compensation and relevant benefits and personnel policies.

The share exchange will be conducted (1) at an exchange ratio of one ASE common share for 0.5 HoldCo common share, and (2) at NT$55 in cash for each of SPIL’s common shares and ASE and SPIL will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of HoldCo. The cash consideration of NT$55 has been adjusted to NT$51.2 after excluding the NT$2.8 per share cash dividend distribution approved by resolution at SPIL’s annual shareholders’ meeting in 2016 as well as a NT$1.0 per share payment from capital reserve. The NT$51.2 cash consideration aforementioned will not be subject to further adjustment if the cash dividends distribution by SPIL in 2017 is less than 85% of SPIL’s after-tax net profit for the year 2016.
