On matter (2), the Board resolved that due to resignation of employees who were previously granted restricted shares, a total of 271,200 common shares previously granted to them have been forfeited in accordance with ChipMOS’ “Regulations of the Issuance of Restricted Shares”, and therefore, ChipMOS shall cancel these 271,200 common shares, representing 0.03 % of the share capital, through a capital reduction in the amount of NT$2,712,000. The capital reduction record date is August 10, 2017. The share capital of ChipMOS after the capital reduction will be NT$ 8,864,130,610.
