Subject line translation: 'Supplementary clarification, on behalf of subsidiary Cathay Life Insurance, of the announcement dated May 14, ROC Year 115 (2026), concerning the issuance of cumulative subordinated straight corporate bonds with a tenor of ten years or more via public offering.' Context: 國泰人壽 (Cathay Life Insurance) is the core life-insurance subsidiary of Cathay Financial Holdings (2882). 累積次順位普通公司債 denotes cumulative, subordinated (junior) straight bonds — a structure commonly used by Taiwanese insurers to raise Tier-2-equivalent regulatory capital. A minimum ten-year tenor satisfies FSC/Insurance Bureau requirements for such instruments to count toward statutory capital. This filing supplements rather than initiates the disclosure, suggesting updated terms, pricing details, or regulatory comments were added after the original May 14 announcement.
