Full Translation
Subject-line translation: '[Gigabyte Technology, filing on behalf of its significant subsidiary Zhijia Investment Co., Ltd.] Announcement of Board of Directors Resolution — Capital Increase via Conversion of Retained Earnings into Newly Issued Shares.' Interpretive context: The mechanism described (盈餘轉增資發行新股) is a retained-earnings capitalisation, whereby accumulated profits held on the subsidiary's balance sheet are reclassified as paid-in share capital and new shares are distributed to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. No new cash is raised from outside investors; the effect is to formally 'lock in' retained profits as permanent capital and increase the subsidiary's total issued share count. This type of resolution requires board approval and public disclosure under TWSE/TPEx material-information rules because it alters the capital structure of a significant (重要) subsidiary.
