In March 2023, the board of director of USISH resolved to establish a special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) with a registered capital of
US$53,000
thousand, jointly owned by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Universal Global Technology Co., Limited, (“UGT”), and an unrelated party, Ample Trading, Co., Ltd. (“Ample Trading”), through a joint venture agreement. UGT obtained
 
75.1
%
ownership of the SPV and Ample Trading obtained the remaining
24.9
%
ownership of the SPV. The SPV then acquired the automotive wireless business (hereunder, the “Target Business”) carved out from an unrelated party, TE Connectivity Ltd. The consideration for the acquisition would be adjusted for the net debt and net working capital of the Target Business as of the settlement date and made by cash. As of December 31, 2023, the SPV has paid
US$
41,400
thousand (approximating to
 
NT
$
1,342,602
thousand) while the remaining consideration was recognized as other payables.

As the Group has not completed the identification of the difference between the cost of the investment and the Group’s share of the net fair value of Hirschmann’s identifiable assets and liabilities, the difference was provisionally recognized as goodwill as of December 31, 2023. The group will continuously review the abovementioned items during the measuring period. If additional information, which related to the facts and circumstances existed at the acquisition date and will lead to an adjustment to the provisional goodwill or the recognition of any liability provision, is obtained in the one year measurement period starting from the acquisition date, the accounting for the business combination will be retrospectively adjusted.

Had the abovementioned business combinations been in effect at the beginning of each annual reporting period, the Group’s operating revenues and profit would have been
NT$570,363,380 thousand and NT$
62,277,713 
thousand for the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively, and
NT$586,489,731 thousand (US$
19,153,812
thousand) and NT$
37,084,732
thousand (US$
1,211,128
thousand) for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. This
pro-forma
information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily an indication of the operating revenue and results of operations of the Group that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of each annual reporting period, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results.
In determining the
pro-forma
operating revenue and profit for the period had each subsidiary been acquired at the beginning of each respective annual reporting period, the Group has calculated the depreciation of property, plant and equipment and the amortization of intangible assets acquired on the basis of the fair values at the initial accounting for the business combination rather than the carrying amounts recognized in the respective
pre-acquisition
financial statements.
