A research report obtained from a securities firm's overseas parent company (or headquarters) or an affiliated enterprise of the overseas parent company (or headquarters) shall not be subject to the restrictions of the preceding paragraph.
The scope of the research report mentioned in paragraph 1 may stem from TPEx listed securities and registered Emerging Stocks to cover those that are not traded over TPEx, to the extent deemed relevant by industry association. However, the research report must be printed with the words "Not recommendable" in a clear manner for any securities that the firm does not offer consigned trade services; in addition, the securities firm is prohibited from accepting customers' orders for "Not recommendable" securities.
