Full Translation
Subject-line translation: 'Announcement, on behalf of subsidiary Cathay Comprehensive Securities Co., Ltd., of the acquisition of right-of-use assets from Cathay Life Insurance Co., Ltd.' — Right-of-use assets (使用權資產) arise under IFRS 16 when an entity recognises a lease on its balance sheet; the announcement indicates that Cathay Securities has entered into a lease (most likely for office space or equipment) with Cathay Life Insurance, a separate but affiliated subsidiary within the Cathay Financial Holdings group. Because both counterparties share the same ultimate parent, the transaction constitutes a related-party dealing subject to TWSE disclosure and potentially board-approval requirements.
