Subject line: 'The Board of Directors resolved to conduct a cash capital increase through the issuance of common shares to participate in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts (GDRs).' — Wistron's board has formally approved a dual-layer capital-raising structure: (1) a domestic cash capital increase in which new ordinary shares are issued, and (2) those newly issued shares serve as the underlying instrument for a GDR offering targeted at overseas institutional investors. GDRs allow foreign investors to hold economic exposure to TWSE-listed shares via depositary certificates traded on an offshore exchange (commonly Luxembourg or Singapore). This type of transaction is a standard mechanism for Taiwanese companies to access international capital markets. The resolution triggers mandatory disclosure under TWSE material information rules. Pricing, offering size, use of proceeds, and the appointed depositary bank have not been disclosed in the subject line. [Body not available — subject line only. See MOPS for full announcement.]
