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 DRs 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$16 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. |
※For more information on private offerings, please visit the following websites: The Market Observation Post System: http://mops.twse.com.tw/mops/web/index, the Company's website: http://www.aseglobal.com.

Matters for Discussion
Case 1 (proposed by the Board of Directors)
Proposal: | The matter over whether to consecutively or simultaneously select one of or combine cash increase by issuing common shares and DRs, domestic cash increase by issuing common shares, and privately offered foreign convertible corporate bonds is submitted for discussion. |
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, ASE is urged to authorize the board to consecutively or simultaneously select one of or combine issuing DRs 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 DR for capital increase in cash shall be as follows:
(1) The current capital increase in cash by issuing common shares and DRs shall not exceed 500 million shares with the board of directors authorized through shareholders' meetings to decide how many shares are to be issued depending on market conditions.
(2) The price at which shares are issued via issuance of DRs 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 DR's issue price is decided based on the fair market price of ASE'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 DR's issue price without having to assume exchange and liquidity risks. In addition, shares issued via issuance of DRs through cash increases will dilute the original shareholders' equity to a maximum of 6.41%, 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 DR 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 DR.
(4) The funds raised by shares issued via issuance of DRs 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 ASE'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 DR 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 DR, 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.
(6) In conjunction with the issuance method of common shares for this capital increase in cash and participation in DR issuance, the president or his designated representative is authorized to represent ASE in signing all documents related to the participation in the issuance of DR 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 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 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 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 ASE’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 ASE'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 DR, 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$16 billion or the equivalent in foreign currencies.

(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. |

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 ASE's profits, assists ASE 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 ASE's operations by having private offering investors provide ASE with assistance in enhancing technology, improving quality, reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and expanding the market in order to strengthen ASE'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 ASE'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 ASE and its strategic investors.
B. Maximum amount of private offering:
The total value of privately offered foreign convertible corporate bonds is limited to NT$16 billion or its equivalent in foreign currencies at maximum. However, the actual value of private offering shall be determined according to applicable laws and regulations and financial market circumstances at the time. When a convertible corporate bond holder obtains common shares of ASE 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:
The current private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds |
may be embarked on by the Board of Directors within a year from the date the resolution is reached during a shareholders' meeting. The raised capital is expected to be used for one or more purposes such as capital expenditure, working capital, payback of bank loans, and reinvestments.

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.
Business Report
An overview of 2014 shows that the effectively increased domestic consumer spending and fixed investments during the second quarter in the US were the main driving forces for the economy to recover. The overall global economic performance, however, was not as powerful as expected despite the relatively steady growth compared to 2013. Only the semiconductor industry surprisingly had splendid performance. Gartner1 statistics show that the sales on the semiconductor market reached US$339.8 billion in 2014, a growth of 7.9% from 2013. Driven by the demand for telecommunication chips and consumer electronic products, relatively significant growth was also seen in the packaging and testing industry. ASE rendered impressive results under the joint effort from the whole staff. For the prospects of 2015, Gartner expects that the global semiconductor sales will reach US$ 358.3 billion, a growth of 5.4% from 2014. ASE will keep track of this economic trend and continue to work hard to reach new heights.
According to the report of the IEK ITIS Project, the IC packaging and testing industry in Taiwan produced output of NT$ 453.9 billion in 2014, a growth of 10.4% from 2013. Output of the packaging industry amounted to NT$ 316 billion, a growth of 11.1% from 2013. Output of the testing industry amounted to NT$ 137.9 billion, a growth of 8.9% from 2013. The following is our report on ASE’s operation for the past year:
"2014 Operating Results"
1. | Implementation of the 2014 business plan |
ASE’s combined revenue for 2014 totaled NT$ 256.6 billion, an increase of NT$ 36.7 billion and a growth of 16.7% from 2013. As far as the testing industry is concerned, the combined revenue in 2014 was NT$ 159.7 billion, an increase of around NT$ 16.4 billion and a growth of around 11.4% from 2013. The operating accomplishments of ASE throughout 2014 can mainly be divided into three parts, namely (1) continued growth on the advanced packaging market at a two-digit rate: The annual growth rate in the revenue from advanced packaging was 16% in 2014 and the momentum primarily came from system level packaging (Sip); (2) maintained leading position on the copper wire bonding market: The annual growth rate in the revenue from copper wire bonding was 15% in 2014. The market share increased and application of copper process on the market was expedited; and (3) strengthened system integration technology, including copper pillar flip-chip packaging, wafer assembly plus fan-out and embodiment technology.
2. | Budget Implementation |
ASE did not release any financial forecast in 2014.
3. | Analysis of financial gains and losses and profitability |
ASE's 2014 consolidated financial report shows paid-in capital of NT$ 78,715,179,000, with total equities that belong to the company's clients being NT$ 150,216,952,000, accounting for 45% of the total assets worth NT$ 333,971,460,000. Its long-term funds are 147% of fixed assets and current ratio is 144%. This year's ratios support a relatively better performance than the preceding year. This year's operating profit was NT$ 29,571,257,000, an increase of NT$ 7,526,934,000 and a growth of around 34% from 2013. The after-tax net
profit was NT$ 24,222,086,000, an increase of around 50% from the previous year. The overall operation of ASE this year, in both revenue and profitability, has significantly grown from the previous year, with outstanding performance, thanks to the robust macroeconomic recovery and the persistent effort throughout ASE.
4. | R&D Overview |
The constantly advancing information and telecommunication electronic products are the mainstream in the current PC era of the electronics industry throughout the world and set the prelude to a mobile computing era. Under the macro-trend that features universal cloud computing and the Internet of everything, wearable computing has also made its debut. The realization of a smart & better life will further drive multiplied growth in the needs for the said products. System integration during the post Moore's era will rely further on the semiconductor packaging, substrate, and testing industries to realize a high-performance, multi-functional, and low-power heterogeneous integration module that combines system level packaging (SiP) and system on chip (SoC); from a high end to the low end, all applications benefit from the development and grow quickly. ASE will continue to consolidate inter-industrial collaboration by researching and developing the three major core technologies and products combining customer demand and market orientation, namely . advanced packaging/module, copper wire bonding/flip-chip bumps, and moderate to low-pin-count packaging. New products and technologies successfully developed by ASE in 2014 are categorized as follows: (1) flip-chip packaging: 20 nm copper process/ultra-low dielectric coefficient with lead-free flip-chip assembly, selective sealing technology, high-density and high bandwidth stacking and packaging technology, multi-layer fine-line buried coreless wiring substrates. The technology also extends to certification of applications of 20 nm and 28 nm flip chips. (2) wire-bond assembly: development of the application of buried wiring substrates, advanced square flat pin-free packaging test, ultra-fine gap and ultra-thin copper/gold wire bond assembly. The technology also extends to certification of applications of 20 nm and 28 nm wire-bond assembly. (3) wafer assembly: stacked wafer thinning, large-size wafer chip packaging, sensor through silicon vias, integrated passive components, 2.5D through silicon vias stacking application certification, fine pitch tin-silver/copper pillar electroplated bumps and certification of applications. (4) Advanced packaging and module: wireless sensor module packaging, sectional protection against electromagnetic interference, highly integrated multi-modular and multi-frequency 3G telecommunication modules, high-density SiP packaging telecommunication LTE modules, etc.
"Overview of 2015 Business Plan"
1. | Operating policy |
(1) Providing customers with "best-quality" services; (2) creating long-term and steady profits for the company and customers; (3) working together with partners for a promising future; (4) training employees to become outstanding professionals in respective fields; (5) treating all employees "fairly and reasonably"; (6) providing employees with a "harmonious, pleasant, and open" workplace; (7) remaining flexible wherever possible during operation.
2. | Projected sales volume and basis |
In light of current industry dynamics, future market demand and ASE’s capacity, the projected sales volume for 2015 is as follows:
Item | Projected Sales |
Packaging | Approx. 17.6 billion chips |
Testing | Approx. 2.5 billion chips |
3. | Important production and sales policies |
During the past ten years, ASE successfully secured better 10-year composite annual growth rates in consolidated revenue, semiconductor packaging revenue, electronic contract manufacturing revenue, and group-wide net profits compared to that for the whole semiconductor industry during the same period. Observations from 2010 to 2014 revealed that capital expenditure on packaging machinery and equipment of ASE accounted for around 10% to 12% of its overall capital expenditure on all semiconductor packaging equipment. Given the market share of ASE on the global contract packaging market of 21% to 22%, it is proof of reasonable capital expenditure and efficient management and operation of ASE. The historical growth pattern of ASE will continue in its 2015 operation. The growth trend will continue to be led by the packaging segment; both the market share and system integration will be increased. In addition, as far as the copper wire bond assembly is concerned, by the fourth quarter of 2014, only 37% of integrated device manufacturers switched to the copper process. ASE will continue to develop sales to integrated device manufacturers in the future. Also by the fourth quarter of 2014, system level packaging accounted for around 18% of the overall revenue of ASE; the goal is to increase the portion to 30% in the future. Finally, the operation model combining system level packaging and electronic contract manufacturing business will be the powerful driving force for ASE's growth.
"Future Development Strategy"
While the world enters a data-driven economy era with the Internet of everything topping the list, ASE is being visionary among this future trend by consolidating system level packaging. Besides investing in capacity-related technologies, ASE also proactively explores prospective partners to form a global strategic alliance. Together with its partners, ASE will establish the framework for the Internet of everything system applying group-based strategies to welcome the arrival of data-driven economy. In addition, in the constantly-changing market and environment, we are leading the industry in the development of the latest technology and adoption of new materials and processes to help IC-design customers remain their leading position and come out on top; this is also ASE's mission. Meanwhile, to fulfill its commitment to honoring its corporate social responsibility, ASE started in 2014 to donate at least NT$ 100 million a year and the effort will continue for at least 30 years, that is, a combined value of at least NT$ 3 billion, to the promotion of environmental protection-related tasks in Taiwan. Everyone acts on the belief "fall to rise and never give up" and keeps progressing without stop; this is ASE's underlying spirit.
"Impacts from External Competitive, Regulatory and Overall Operating Environments"
Forecast data of multiple research institutes show that the global economy is likely to gradually turn better in the coming year, which is expected to also drive domestic economy at the same time. Continuous and steady recovery is expected of the US economy in 2015. Other favorable factors such as falling international oil prices and relaxed monetary policies adopted by most governments also add new highlights to the economic growth in the coming year. Nevertheless, geopolitical conflicts and the Ebola epidemic in the international society are hidden concerns and have instilled uncertainty to the world economy. As far as the situation in Taiwan is concerned, impacts triggered by the Red Supply Chain storm and the delay in the signing of the Free Trade Agreement and its negotiations are reminding us of dealing with challenges in the future more carefully. The operational breakthroughs made by ASE in 2014 are the accomplishments that everyone within ASE and its business partners should be proud of! We have not only set an important milestone but also laid a solid groundwork for flourishing developments in the future. We were constantly making breakthroughs in sales and setting many new records in 2014. We also depicted an innovative blueprint and vision for the future. In the coming five, ten, and 30 years, however, ASE will be faced with sterner challenges. We can only approach the future with steady steps in an unfavorable environment when we stay together and work hard. Let's hold hands and jointly protect ASE that belongs to us to make it grow further and keep track of the industrial trends in the future to take lead in the next wave of electronic revolution.
