Article 14
|
After the issuance of overseas depositary receipts, the issuer must obtain effective registration with the FSC before it may carry out any follow-on issue, except under the following circumstances:
- The additional depositary receipts are issued in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations Governing Investment in Securities by Overseas Chinese and Foreign Nationals; provided, however, that the deposit contract and custody contract must expressly provide that overseas depositary receipts may be re-issued following redemption.
- Following the issuance of overseas depositary receipts, the issuer carries out a cash capital increase through a new share issue, a new share distribution from earnings, or a new share distribution from capital reserve, and in connection therewith carries out a follow-on issue of depositary receipts corresponding to the amount of the newly issued shares.
- The issuance is made within the maximum total amount set out in Article 12-1.
An issuer's director, supervisor, manager, or shareholder holding more than 10 percent of the total issued shares, intending to issue additional depositary receipts under subparagraph 1 of the preceding paragraph shall comply with Article 22-2, paragraph 1, subparagraph 1 of the Act by filing an application (Table 6) specifying therein the required particulars and may proceed to the issuance only after the approval by the FSC.
Where the issuer referred to in paragraph 1 needs to carry out a follow-on issue of overseas depositary receipts in order to carry out a cash capital increase through a new share issue, if the proceeds raised offshore are to be converted into New Taiwan Dollars and used onshore, the issuer shall obtain a consent letter from the Central Bank before registering with the FSC to carry out a cash capital increase.
