Full Translation
Announcement filed by CTBC Financial Holding Co., Ltd. (2891) on behalf of its subsidiary CTBC Bank Co., Ltd. (中國信託商業銀行股份有限公司): CTBC Bank has acquired a right-of-use asset (不動產使用權資產) over real property from Taiwan Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (台灣人壽保險股份有限公司). In accounting terms, a 'right-of-use asset' refers to the lessee's recognized asset under IFRS 16 when a lease contract is executed — the bank is leasing, not buying outright, the subject real estate. Because Taiwan Life Insurance is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of CTBC Financial Holdings, this constitutes a related-party / intra-group lease transaction, which under Taiwan regulations triggers a mandatory material-information disclosure.
