    The dates specified under paragraph 1 may be changed if necessary by applying to the Taiwan Securities Association for approval.
    Where a company listed on a stock exchange or an OTC market carrying out a cash capital increase through an issue of preferred shares uses the book building method for a portion of the shares and public subscription method for another portion of the shares to allocate the shares (other than those securities set aside for subscription by the company's employees) that are put up for underwritten distribution and public sale, those shares allocated to the company's employees may be handled in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1, provided that said employees can comply with the payment period specified in paragraph 1.

The payment to be made by the bidder, as referred to in paragraph 1 subparagraph 2 above, shall be the price of the securities subscribed less the book building bid deposit. In the event a bidder does not fulfill his payment obligation within the allotted time, the securities underwriter may confiscate the book building bid deposit, and shall itself subscribe to the securities on the basis of the subscriber's payment.
    When the securities underwriter referred to in the preceding paragraph accepts a book building bid deposit from a subscriber, it shall do so by means of a trust, and shall specify in the trust contract the handling of default by the bidder and the damages for default..
