Original: 公告本公司董事會決議辦理限制員工權利新股收回註銷 減資事宜
Summary
ASE Technology Holding's board resolved to recall and cancel previously issued restricted employee shares, with the cancellation to be processed as a capital reduction. This type of action typically arises when unvested restricted shares are forfeited upon employee departure or failure to meet vesting conditions. The resulting reduction in issued share capital is a routine administrative consequence of the company's employee equity compensation program. Full body available on MOPS.
Full Translation
Announcement that the Company's Board of Directors has resolved to proceed with the recall and cancellation of restricted employee new shares (限制員工權利新股) and to handle the associated capital reduction formalities. Under Taiwan's restricted stock award framework, shares granted to employees that are subject to vesting conditions may be recalled by the issuer if those conditions are not satisfied (e.g., upon resignation before vesting). The cancelled shares reduce the company's registered paid-in capital accordingly, requiring a formal capital-reduction filing with regulators. [Body not available — subject line only.
