Full Translation
Announcement that the Company's Board of Directors has resolved to sign a Private Placement Common Share Subscription Agreement with 3M United Kingdom Limited. Under Taiwanese securities regulations, a private placement (私募) of common shares bypasses the public offering process and places newly issued shares directly with a specific investor — in this case 3M United Kingdom Limited, the UK-registered entity of the 3M group. Board approval is a required procedural step before the placement can proceed; subsequent regulatory filings and shareholder notification requirements will follow. The involvement of 3M as the subscribing party suggests a potential strategic rationale (e.g., optical or electronics supply-chain collaboration) beyond a purely financial investment.
