Link copied!

1.Date of the board of directors resolution for the change:2015/03/13

2.Dates of effective registration of the original plan:2011/01/14

3.Reason for the change:

(1)The 3rd European Convertible Bonds was issued on January 27, 2011 and

   the total proceeds from the offering was approximately NT$8,540,000,000.

   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.
