Private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds
In order to meet long term capital requirements and allow more diversified and flexible funding channels, the AGM is urged to authorize the board to consecutively or simultaneously select one of or combine issuing of GDRs through cash increase, conduct domestic cash increase by issuing common shares, and privately offer foreign convertible corporate bonds at appropriate times depending on market circumstances and capital requirements.
According to Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act and the Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities, the aforementioned private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is described as follows:
(1) | Basis and reasonableness of private offering price: |
The issue price for the private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is set to be not lower than 80% of the formula price referred to in the Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities. For the actual issue price, the shareholders meeting will be requested to grant the board of directors the authority to set the price according to the law and not below the range approved by the shareholders meeting and depending on current market and company circumstances. The price for this private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is set according to the regulations and in consideration of the strict restrictions for transfer timing, recipient, and quantity of the privately offered securities. In addition, the shares converted from the corporate bonds may not be publicly listed for three years of the delivery. The price for this private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is deemed to be reasonable under the terms and factors such as weaker liquidity.
(2) | Selection method and purpose for offerees, necessity, and expected benefits: |
The offeree selection procedure shall follow the rules under Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act and the previous order (2002) Tai-Cai-Zheng-1 No. 0910003455 of June 13, 2002, of the Securities and Futures Commission of the Ministry of Finance. The purpose for selecting offerees is to introduce strategic investors. A strategic investor refers to an individual or corporate entity that, for the purpose of increasing the Company's profits, assists the Company to enhance technology, improve quality, increase efficiency, and expand market share through vertical or horizontal industry integration or collaboration in product or market development. The selection of offerees shall be decided by the board of directors as authorized by the shareholders meeting. The purpose, necessity, and expected benefits are to meet the demands of the Company's operations by having private offering investors provide the Company with assistance in enhancing technology, improving quality, reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and expanding the market in order to strengthen the Company's competitiveness and improve operational efficiency and long term development.
(3) | Necessity, use of funds, and expected benefits: |
| 1. | Reasons against a public offering: The choice of a private offering is in support of the Company's future business development and plans to introduce strategic investors and in consideration of the time sensitiveness, convenience, issue costs and shareholder stability provided by a private offering. In addition, privately offered securities are restricted from free transfer under the Securities and Exchange Act, and the rule will ensure a long term partnership between the Company and its strategic investors. |
| 2. | Maximum amount of private offering: This private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is subject to a maximum of NT$15 billion or the equivalent in foreign currencies. However, the actual amount of the private offering shall be determined in accordance with the applicable regulations and financial market conditions at the time. When a convertible corporate bond holder obtains common shares of the Company by exercising conversion rights, the number of shares is calculated based on the conversion price at the time of conversion. |
| 3. | Use of funds and expected benefits: The private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds may be made by the board of directors as authorized by the shareholders meeting within one year of the passing of the resolution. The capital raised is expected to be used for one or more purposes of capital expenditure, providing for working capital increases, repaying bank loans, and reinvestment. In addition, it is expected that the funds will be completely used up within three years after the private offering is completed. The expected benefits include a positive impact on shareholder rights and one or more of a strengthened industry position, enhanced long term competitiveness, improved financial structure, and savings on interest expenses. However, the actual private offering and the schedule for the use of funds shall depend on the Company's capital requirements, legal regulations, and financial market circumstances. |
(4) | Rights and obligations associated with converting corporate bonds to common shares |
The rights and obligations associated with the common shares converted from this private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds are identical to those associated with the existing common shares of the Company. However, the listing and resale of such common shares shall be subject to the rules under the Securities and Exchange Act. Private offerings of foreign convertible corporate bonds shall
be conducted in compliance with the letter from the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Executive Yuan, Jin-Guan-Zheng-1 No. 09700513881 on October 21, 2008.
(5) | The private offering plan includes primarily the issue and conversion rules, actual private offering price, private offering terms, plan items, amounts, scheduled progress and expected benefits, and other matters potentially related to the issue plan. The shareholders meeting will be requested to authorize the board of directors to make adjustments at its full discretion according to the Company's financial needs, financial market conditions, and relevant regulations. The shareholders meeting will also be requested to authorize the board of directors to make modification or correction at its full discretion in response to future changes in legal regulations, orders from the competent authority, or changes in market conditions, business assessment, or objective environmental conditions. |
(6) | In order to complete the private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds, the shareholders meeting will also be requested to authorize the chairman of the board or a designated person to represent the Company in the signing of all relevant contracts and documents and complete all subsequent procedures for the Company. |
(7) | For matters that are not covered herein, the shareholders meeting will be requested to authorize the board of directors to, in accordance with law, proceed at its own discretion. |

Resolution: | |
Matters for Discussion
Case 1 (proposed by the Board of Directors)
| To discuss whether to consecutively or simultaneously select one of or combine cash increase by issuing common shares and GDRs, domestic cash increase by issuing common shares, and privately offered foreign convertible corporate bonds. |
| |
| To finance future capacity expansion, provide for working capital increases, repay bank loans, or cope with other funding needs in the longer term, the Company is urged to authorize the board to consecutively or simultaneously select one of or combine issuing of GDRs through cash increases, conducting domestic cash increases by issuing common shares, and privately offering foreign convertible corporate bonds according to the articles of incorporation, relevant regulations and the following rules. 1. The principles to issue new common shares and GDRs for cash increase shall be as follows: (1) This cash increase by issuing common shares and GDRs shall not exceed 500 million shares with the board of directors authorized to decide how many shares are to be issued depending on market conditions. (2) The price at which shares are issued via issuance of GDRs through cash increase 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 the "Self-imposed Rules Governing Underwriters Assisting Companies in Issuing Securities" announced by the Taiwan Securities Association. If relevant regulations change, the pricing method may be changed accordingly. As share prices often fluctuate substantially in a short period of time, the Chairman 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 increases will dilute the original shareholders' equity to a maximum of 6.40%, not a major impact on shareholders' rights and interests. (3) 10%~15% of common shares issued for this cash increase 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 appropriate the remaining 85%~90% for open issuance as 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 for, the Chairman is authorized to contact a designated party for purchase or, depending on market requirements, list as the original securities for participation in the issuance of GDR. (4) Funds raised by shares issued via issuance of GDRs through this cash increase shall be used to expand 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 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 increase must be changed as ordered by the competent authority or required by circumstances, the board is authorized to make corresponding changes. (6) In conjunction with the issuance method of common shares for this cash increase and participation in GDR issuance, the Chairman 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 related matters. 2. The principles for domestic cash capital increase by issuing common shares: (1) The number of common shares issued for this domestic cash increase may not exceed 500 million shares. (2) Face value of shares issued via cash increase is NT$10 per share. The issue price shall be decided by the Chairman after consulting the |
| underwriter as per the "Self-imposed Rules Governing Underwriters Assisting Companies in Issuing Securities" announced by the Taiwan Securities Association and market conditions at time of issue and filed with the competent authority. (3) According to Article 28-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, the underwriting method for the publicly offered portion of this cash increase shall be decided by the board of directors as authorized to be either public subscription or 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 base date. For an existing shareholder who holds insufficient shares to subscribe to one new share, joint subscription with other shareholders or combined subscription by one person will be allowed; any employee or existing shareholder who does not subscribe to the issue authorizes the Chairman to contact a designated party for purchase at the issue price. B. If book building 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, the remaining shares will be subject to Article 28-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, and the existing shareholders waive the right to subscribe before the shares all become publicly offered based on the book building method. In addition, if the Company’s employees have not subscribed sufficiently and adequately or waived the right to subscribe, the chairman may contact a designated party for purchase. (4) The rights and obligations associated with the new shares issued for the cash increase are identical to those associated with the existing shares. (5) The funds raised by common shares issued through this cash increase shall be used to expand factories, purchase equipment, purchase materials overseas, provide for working capital increase, 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. (6) The board of directors is authorized to adjust, set, and administer the major contents of the cash capital increase 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 is authorized to make corresponding changes. (7) Once the plan for cash increase is filed with the competent authority, the Chairman will be authorized to set the base date, payment period, and ex-rights date for new share issue. 3. The principles to privately issue foreign convertible corporate bonds: (1) This private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is subject to a maximum of NT$15 billion or the equivalent in foreign currencies. Please see Attachment Ⅳ to this Agenda for the preliminary issue and conversion rules for this private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds, which will be handled by the board of directors authorized by the shareholders meeting based on the Company's funding needs or financial market conditions. (2) Basis and reasonableness of private offering price: The issue price for the private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is set to be not lower than 80% of the formula price referred to in the Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities. For the actual issue price, the shareholders meeting will be requested to grant the board of directors the authority to set the price according to the law and not below the range approved by the shareholders meeting and depending on current market and company circumstances. The price for this private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is set according to the regulations and in consideration of the strict restrictions for transfer timing, recipient, and quantity of privately offered securities. In addition, shares converted from corporate bonds may not be publicly listed for three years from delivery. The price and terms for this private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is deemed to be reasonable considering factors such as weakened liquidity. (3) Selection method and purpose for designated persons, necessity, and |
| expected benefits: The offeree selection procedure shall follow the rules under Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act and the previous order (2002) Tai-Cai-Zheng-1 No. 0910003455 on June 13, 2002 from the Securities and Futures Commission of the Ministry of Finance. The purpose for selecting offerees is to introduce strategic investors. A strategic investor refers to an individual or corporate entity that, for the purpose of increasing the Company's profits, assists the Company to enhance technology, improve quality, increase efficiency, and expand market share through vertical or horizontal industry integration or collaboration in product or market development. The selection of offerees shall be decided by the board of directors as authorized by the shareholders meeting. The purpose, necessity, and expected benefits are to meet the demands of the Company's operations by having private offering investors provide the Company with assistance in enhancing technology, improving quality, reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and expanding the market in order to strengthen the Company's competitiveness and improve operational efficiency and long term development. (4) The necessity, use of funds, and expected benefits: A. Reasons against a public offering: The choice of a private offering is in support of the Company's future business development and plans to introduce strategic investors and in consideration of the time sensitiveness, convenience, issue costs and shareholder stability provided by a private offering. In addition, privately offered securities are restricted from free transfer under the Securities and Exchange Act, and this rule will ensure a long-term partnership between the Company and its strategic investors. B. Maximum amount of private offering: |
| This private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is subject to a maximum of NT$15 billion or the equivalent in foreign currencies. However, the actual amount of the private offering shall be determined according to the applicable regulations and financial market circumstances at the time. When a convertible corporate bond holder obtains common shares of the Company by exercising conversion rights, the number of shares is calculated based on the conversion price at the time of conversion. |
| C. Use of funds and expected benefits: This private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds may be made by the board of directors as authorized by the shareholders meeting within one year of the passing of the resolution. The raised capital is expected to be used for one or more purposes of capital expenditure, providing for working capital increases, repaying bank loans, and reinvestments.

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.
Business Report
Looking back at 2013, global macroeconomic conditions were unstable and the outlook for application of emerging technologies was unclear, meaning the economy appeared to be in a slow recovery. From the second quarter of 2013, the semiconductor packaging and testing industry benefited from rising orders for communication chips, continuing increases in shipping volumes for mid- and low-end smart handheld devices, demand for fingerprint identification systems, and emerging opportunities in Wi-Fi modules and wearable devices. This meant the stagnant conditions in which the industry has found itself over the last two years were left behind. According to the forecast of World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), semiconductor sales will reach US$316.6 billion in 2014, growth of 4.1%. Although the next year appears to be promising, the momentum of a recovering economy will be limited. The Company will respond with caution to the potential impact of slowing growth in emerging markets from the scale back of QE in the United States, and the issue of whether China can successfully transform its economic structure.
According to the report of the IEK ITIS Project, the IC packaging and testing industry in Taiwan produced output of NT$411.0 billion in 2013, growth of 4.4% compared to 2012. Output of the packaging industry amounted to NT$284.4 billion, growth of 4.6% compared to 2012. Output of the testing industry amounted to NT$126.6 billion, growth of 4.2% compared to 2012. The following is our report on the company’s operations in the past year:
"2013 Operating Results"
1. | Implementation results for the 2013 business plan |
The Company’s combined revenues for 2013 were NT$219.9 billion, an increase of NT$25.9 billion over 2012, equivalent to 13.3% growth. For semiconductor packaging and testing services, the Company's combined revenue in 2013 was NT$143.3 billion, growth of 10.2%. Looking back at 2013, the Company achieved three milestones, which were: (1) Revenue from copper wire bonding reached 65% of revenue from packaging wires as of the fourth quarter of 2013 and the manufacturing process of copper wire bonding began to be used in microcontrollers for automotive electronics and other new markets. (2) Revenue from advanced packaging and systems in package (SiP) and related fields reached US$1 billion, a YoY increase of 34%. (3) The Company's overall group revenue in 2013 was US$7.4 billion, including US$4.8 billion from packaging and testing and US$2.6 billion from electronic manufacturing services (EMS), both of which were record-breaking figures.
No financial forecast was disclosed in 2013.
3. | Analysis of financial accounts and profitability |
As of the end of 2013, the Company's parent company financial statements showed that the Company's paid-in capital was NT$77,560,040,000 and shareholders' equity NT$123,020,621,000, accounting for 56% of total assets of NT$221,413,811,000. Its long-term funds are 273% of fixed assets and current ratio is 75%. This year's ratios are
significantly better than those in the previous year, and the Company's financial structure and ability to repay debts are sounder than the previous year. This year's operating profit was NT$12,936,797,000, an increase of NT$2,283,650,000 at a growth rate of 21% compared to 2012. Under overall steadily recovering economic conditions, the Company strived to achieve a growth rate equal to double the industry average. This year's after-tax net profit was NT$15,689,074,000, a 20% increase compared to the previous year. The Company's overall operational performance, in terms of both revenue and profits, was excellent.
As the global electronics industry enters the post-PC era, mobile computing devices fuel the prevalence of cloud computing, while the Internet of Things and wearable technologies are making smart living a reality. The semiconductor packaging and testing industry plays a crucial role and operates in both high- and low-end markets. In particular, the application of system in package (SiP) for multifunctional heterogeneous chip integration is growing fast. The Company has received recognition from market trends in three areas in which considerable effort has been invested: advanced packaging, advanced copper wire bonding/bump production and low-pin-count packaging. New technologies successfully developed by the Company in 2013 are as follows: (1) Flip-chip assembly: 20 nm lead-free solder flip-chip assembly technology, high performance flip-chip sealants, and coreless wiring substrates. This technology also extends to certification of applications of 28 nm flip-chip assembly technology. (2) Wire-bond assembly: 20 nm copper wire bond assembly and ultra-thin (15um) copper/gold wire bond assembly. The technology also extends to certification of applications of 28 nm wire-bond assembly. (3) System in package: wafer bonding packaged micro-electromechanical systems for integrated packaging, Bluetooth low energy sensor modules, multichannel wifi modules, 200/300mm 28 nm 3D stacked flip chip packaging with through silicon vias, and certification of applications. (4) Wafer assembly: post processing through silicon vias, integrated passive components, fine pitch tin-silver electroplated lead-free bumps, and certification of applications. (5) Green products: Carbon footprints are treated as one of the key indicators for the environmental costs of packaging products and extend to product development. An eco-design policy has been devised to provide a basis for energy conservation and carbon reduction in R&D stages in order to ease the burden on the environment.
"Outline of 2014 Business Plan"
(1) Providing customers with a first-class service (2) creating long-term, stable profits for the Company and customers (3) working with partner firms to jointly create a prosperous future (4) being as flexible as possible in its business dealings.
2. | Projects sales volume and references |
In light of current industry dynamics, future market demand and ASE’s capacity, the projected sales volume for 2014 is as follows:
Item | Project Sales |
Assembly | Approx. 14 billion chips |
Test | Approx. 2 billion chips |
3. | Important production and sales policies |
The Company's capital expenditure was lower in 2013 than in 2012, but generated revenue increased by 13%. We will focus more on capital expenditure efficiency and seek the product portfolio with the highest profits to maintain this trend. In 2014, the Company will continue to invest in strengthening its competitive advantage in global research and development and extend its field of expertise to applications of advanced products such as 20 nm advanced packaging, flip-chip assembly systems, integrated wafer assembly for microsensors, and 3D system in package. SiP is expected to generate the strongest growth momentum in the industry in the next three to five years. ASE has been working in this field for a number of years and has combined the EMS technology of its subsidiary, Universal Scientific Industrial, to achieve total integration of outsourced assembly and test (OSAT) and EMS, which has created a high technical barrier to newcomers and increased the Company's lead over its rivals. The Company will continue to provide integrated services focusing on flexibility, speed, and low costs with the aim to create higher added value for its customers.
"Development Strategy"
In response to the pursuit of lighter, thinner, and smaller electronic products as well as high power, low energy, and low cost, the Company will steer its technological development towards production of 20 nm and under chips. The technological focus will be on following Moore's law to achieve product microminiaturization in wafer assembly, micro-electromechanical systems, and other advanced packaging areas. Meanwhile, system integrated packaging that overcomes Moore's law is also one of the Company's focuses, including new technologies such as SiP, 3D IC and buried components. These products have very short life cycles, as short as six months in some cases. Therefore, such technology relies on scale of production at foundries, understanding of customers, deeply integrated partnerships, and efficient production processes that offer low cost, high flexibility, and high speed in order to provide these services. These industry characteristics are the source of the Company's momentum in continuing on a path of growth for the next ten years. The Company will utilize its existing advantages in combination with the synergy generated by integrating OSAT and EMS to continue to gain market share and provide more efficient services. Meanwhile, the Company has become more environmentally conscious since the wastewater incident at its K7 plant, and is deeply committed to environmental principles and the avoidance of wastewater dumping in the future. The Company has never held back on its investment in environmental protection and remains dedicated in its long term commitment to environmental conservation.
"Impacts of Competition, Legislation and Operating Environment"
Observation of recent international developments indicates that the global economy in 2014 is viewed positively by many, while the trend of recovery that started in 2013 continues in the United States. Despite the fact that the scale back of quantitative easing has begun, the impact has not been as severe as expected. The European debt crisis is also becoming less severe. The economic policies of the Abe administration in Japan have been quite successful in a short period of time. Meanwhile, in spite of its economic growth in 2013 being the lowest in the past decade, China's efforts to adjust its economic structure and implement economic reform policies are starting to show long-term benefits. While reports released by the Industrial Economics and Knowledge Center (IEK) are cautiously optimistic on the domestic economic outlook, they also urge Taiwan not to ignore the threat from competitors in China and South Korea. Since the domestic economy did not grow at the same rate as other countries in the second quarter of 2013, the economic growth rate was only 1.74%, highlighting the fact that domestic industry was trapped in a bottleneck in terms of competitiveness and economic momentum. Furthermore, industry, the government, and academia in Taiwan will need to work together to face strong challenges from neighbors such as China, Korea, and Japan and find ways to create a win-win situation for businesses, the government, the people, and the natural environment. We look forward to 2014 being a good year. As it celebrates its 30th anniversary, ASE expects employees and shareholders to be united in building a brighter future and ushering in another 30 years of success.
