Announcement: The Company's Board of Directors has resolved to approve the subscription of CTBC Securities Co., Ltd.'s privately placed common shares via cash capital increase, in an amount not exceeding New Taiwan Dollars 5 billion (NTD 5,000,000,000). In practical terms, CTBC Financial Holding (the parent) is committing up to NTD 5 billion in new equity to its securities subsidiary through a private placement — a structure that bypasses the public market and directs fresh capital directly from the holding company to the operating subsidiary. This type of resolution is a material capital-allocation decision requiring board approval and disclosure as a significant corporate event under Taiwan's Securities and Exchange Act.
