Full Translation
Announcement that the Company (Aspeed Technology, 5274) has acquired privately placed common shares of Yuan Xing Technology Co., Ltd. (円星科技股份有限公司). A private placement of common shares is a negotiated, non-public issuance, meaning Aspeed has taken a direct equity position in Yuan Xing Technology at terms agreed between the parties rather than purchasing shares on the open market. This is typically disclosed as a material event because it represents an outflow of capital, creates a strategic or financial stake in a third-party entity, and may trigger consolidation or equity-method accounting depending on the ownership percentage.
