Article 17-1
|
An underwriting case conducted by means of competitive auctionfor warrants that have been detached from preferred shares with detachable warrants or warrants that have been detached from corporate bonds with detachable warrants shall be handled through uniform price clearing, whereby the TWSE, in opening the bids, adds up the cumulative total of the bid quantities, starting with the highest-priced bid and working its way down until the entire offering has been cleared, with the lowest price necessary to sell all securities offered through competitive auction taken as the uniform clearing price. If the total number of the securities bid for in valid bids is insufficient to cover the all the securities offered through competitive auction, then the minimum offering price, as prescribed by Article 8 paragraph 1 subparagraph 2, shall serve as the uniform clearing price.
Those bidding at or above the uniform clearing price are successful bidders, and in all cases their bids will be cleared at the uniform clearing price.
If the total number of securities bid for in valid bids exceeds the number of securities offered through competitive auction, then those submitting bids at the uniform clearing price shall be awarded securities in random order, generated by computer, until all securities offered through competitive auction have been awarded.
The quantity of securities awarded to each successful bidder shall not exceed the proportion set forth under Article 9, paragraph 5. Where an award does exceed this proportion, the quantity in excess shall be select at random by computer and subtracted from the award.
The uniform clearing price shall serve as: the offering price for those units of a security retained by the underwriter for its own account in connection with an underwriting case of warrants that have been detached from preferred shares with detachable warrants or warrants that have been detached from corporate bonds with detachable warrants, and for units that remain unsubscribed after conclusion of competitive auction. The uniform clearing price shall serve as the basis for calculating the price at which a security opens on its first day of listing in accordance with the directions of the TWSE or TPEx.
In addition to complying with paragraph 4 of this Article, the securities underwriter shall also handle the results of the opening of bids in compliance with all other relevant laws and regulations, and shall provide all relevant data as prescribed by the TWSE and the Taiwan Securities Association.
