If the number of the Issuer's listed Taiwan depositary receipts is subsequently increased or decreased, or if there is a change in particular items due to a change in the company's name, a capital decrease, or some other reason, then the TWSE-approved registration statement for listing of the Taiwan depositary receipts, or the increase or decrease of listed Taiwan depositary receipts or other amended items set out in the application for amendment of the contract for listed Taiwan depositary receipts, will also be an integral part of this contract.
Article 2
When, due to a change in the equity holdings of a director, supervisor, or managerial officer, or of a shareholder holding more than 10 percent of its shares, the Issuer is required under the laws and regulations of its home country or a country where its stock is listed to file and publicly announce that information in any one location, then its depository institution within the territory of the Republic of China shall be required to simultaneously file the same information with the competent authority and the TWSE and to publicly announce the information.
When the Issuer, pursuant to the laws and regulations of the country where it is listed, is required to file and publicly announce documents and materials with the competent authority or with the securities exchange or securities market on which the securities represented by the Taiwan depository receipts are listed, it shall, either by itself or through the Depository Institution within the territory of the Republic of China, simultaneously file and publicly announce the same with the competent authority and the TWSE.
Article 2-1
If the Issuer intends to buy back on the TWSE centralized securities market any Taiwan depository receipts it previously issued, insofar as there is no conflict with the laws and regulations of the country in which it is registered or listed, the Issuer may do so upon the approval of a majority of the directors present at a directors meeting attended by two-thirds or more of directors, and shall comply with the TWSE Rules Governing the Repurchase of Taiwan Depositary Receipts by Secondary Listed Companies in so doing.
The purpose of a repurchase of Taiwan depository receipts referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be limited to redeeming and canceling the securities represented by the Taiwan depository receipts.
When the Issuer buys back on the TWSE centralized securities market any Taiwan depository receipts it previously issued, it shall carry out filing and disclosure within the time limit provided in the applicable TWSE regulations concerning the disclosure of material information.

Article 5
The TWSE may impose an altered trading method on listed Taiwan depositary receipts on the basis of applicable laws, regulations, or TWSE bylaws, or when it deems it necessary for some other reason sufficient to affect market order or investor rights and interests, and shall report the matter to the competent authority for recordation within one month after implementation; or, it may suspend trading of or delist the listed Taiwan depositary receipts, and report the matter to the competent authority for recordation.
