In connection with the listing application, a preliminary offering circular and a preliminary underwriter's evaluation report both dated November 12, 2009 (in Chinese language) were filed with the TWSE and made public on the Market Observation Post System under the code number "3670." The preliminary underwriter's evaluation report is required to be filed under the listing rules of the TWSE and was prepared by the lead underwriter for the Company's Taiwan listing.
</p><p>
The Company also filed today a Form 6-K report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission summarizing certain information included in the preliminary offering circular and the preliminary underwriter's evaluation report, which is provided for information purposes only.
</p><p>
