Full Translation
Subject line (verbatim translation): 'On behalf of subsidiary Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd., announcement of the acquisition of operational machinery and equipment reaching NT$1 billion.' Interpretive context: Under TWSE/FSC material-information rules, listed companies must publicly disclose single or cumulative equipment acquisitions once they breach a prescribed monetary threshold (commonly NT$300 million or a percentage of paid-in capital; a NT$1 billion disclosure indicates the aggregate has crossed that bar). SPIL is a wholly-owned IC packaging and testing subsidiary of ASE Technology Holding and a significant contributor to group revenues; capital expenditure at this scale is consistent with capacity build-out for advanced packaging nodes. The announcement is filed by the parent (3711) acting as agent (代) for the subsidiary, as is standard practice under Taiwan listing rules. [Body not available — subject line only.
