Article 4
|
The certification of securities shall be processed as follows:
- The certification period for a certification bank processing a new issuance or new private placement of securities shall not exceed five business days starting from the date on which the bank is engaged. In addition, before proceeding with the certification, review and a record shall be made of the corporate registration chart (or corporate registration card), and of the content, paper quality, company specimen chop, serial number, par value, volume, and total issuance amount of the securities in question.
- Until the company issuing or privately placing the securities has completed settlement, the certification bank shall exercise the custodial duty of a good administrator in safekeeping the sample of the seal specimen with which the certification bank certifies the securities and the sample specimen of the certified securities.
- The total amount of securities certified shall be limited to the actual issuance amount within the total issuance amount approved by the competent authority for effective registration and to the total amount of securities for which the payment has actually been paid up.
- If application is made to reissue a company's publicly issued or privately placed securities, the reissued securities shall be certified only after the applicant obtains a written judgment of exclusion by a court declaring the original securities certificates void.
- Securities from the same issue or private placement shall be certified by the same bank.
- When handling the certification of privately placed securities, a certification bank shall limit the certification to within the total amount of securities for which payment has actually been collected, the private placement amount announced by the company, and the amount approved by the Ministry of Economic Affairs for amendment registration, and shall also check whether the company has noted on the securities in conspicuous type that they are privately placed, their delivery date, and restrictions on transfer.
If replacement securities must be issued because of merger, consolidation, split, or other reason, the certification bank shall verify that the securities have been voided by clipping before carrying out certification of the new securities. However, in regard to circumstances set forth in paragraph 3, Article 33 of the Business Mergers and Acquisition Act, since the original share certificates have become null and void because of failure to be filed with the company, certification of the new securities can be performed directly.
If a company buys back or redeems securities and cancels them, it shall void them by clipping after carrying out amendment registration procedures, and file a report with the original certification bank.
If scriplessly issued or privately placed securities are changed to scrip securities, the certification bank shall carry out certification on the basis of the document evidencing termination of registration issued by the centralized securities depository enterprise.
If there is any merger or acquisition of a certification bank or acceptance of transfer of the certification business of another certification bank, the operations of the certification business shall be assumed in full by the surviving company or the company assuming the certification business.

Article 6
|
The remuneration given for the certification of securities shall be mutually agreed between the issuing company and the certification bank based on the following principles:
- The maximum remuneration for the certification of a new issue or new private placement of securities shall be 0.03 percent of the total par value of the issued securities. However, where the amount derived using the preceding method is less than NT$3,000 or more than NT$500,000, the remuneration shall be NT$3,000 or NT$500,000 as the case may be.
- The maximum remuneration for the certification of substitute, replacement, combined or split securities shall be 0.03 percent of the total par value of the issued securities. However, where a securities central depositary enterprise sends securities for substitution due to a merger of companies, the maximum remuneration shall be 0.003 percent of the total par value of the issued securities, and shall further not exceed NT$50,000 per instance.
The maximum remuneration for supplemental certification of securities referred to in paragraph 1 of the preceding Article shall be no more than NT$500,000.
