Full Translation
Acting on behalf of its subsidiary Taiwan Life Insurance Co., Ltd., CTBC Financial Holding Co. (TWSE: 2891) discloses that Taiwan Life Insurance will participate in the establishment of, and invest in, a newly formed joint venture company (name not yet determined) for the purpose of investing in the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) concession project for Taichung City Sports Industry Park. BOT is a public-private partnership structure in which a private consortium finances, constructs, and operates an infrastructure facility for a defined concession period, after which ownership reverts to the government. The Taichung City Sports Industry Park BOT project is a government-tendered infrastructure initiative in central Taiwan. For a life insurance subsidiary such as Taiwan Life, participation in a BOT joint venture typically constitutes a long-dated alternative asset investment intended to generate stable cash flows that match the duration of insurance liabilities. The holding company is filing this disclosure in its capacity as parent, with Taiwan Life as the direct investing entity. [Body not available — subject line only. See MOPS for full announcement.]
