As of March 4, 2015, NT$8,035,229,000 (94.09% of overall fund) has been
expended yet, NTD$504,771,000 has not been used.
(2)One of use of proceeds of 3rd European Convertible Bonds is for acquiring
equipment & machinery. Because of doing share swap with HUGA Optotech Inc.
and Formosa Epitaxy Incorporation,in 2012 and 2014, respectively, the
production capacity of EPISTAR group has been satisfied for operation.
Then equipment & machinery acquisition will not be required in the short
term. In order to make the remaining proceeds use more efficient,
EPISTAR has proposed that the remaining proceeds will revise use of
proceeds for procurement of raw materials overseas.
