TAICHUNG, Taiwan, Oct. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Siliconware
Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (TWSE: 2325, NASDAQ: SPIL) (the
"Company") has formally received a Preliminary Injunction Petition
on yesterday afternoon from the Taichung District
Court (Year 2015 No. 101) (the "Petition") filed by Advanced
Semiconductor Engineering Inc. (TWSE: 2311, NYSE: ASX) ("ASE")
seeking to enjoin the convening on October
15, 2015 of an extraordinary shareholders' meeting of the
Company.
Since receiving the Petition, the Company has convened internal
meetings and had discussions with outside counsels, and will duly
file a response to the Petition to the court in accordance with
law.
The Company regrets that ASE, which has repeatedly claimed that
it is making a "financial investment" in the Company, and who is
not yet a formally registered shareholder of the Company, abruptly
seeks to prevent the Company from holding the extraordinary
shareholders' meeting. ASE is obstructing the opportunity all
shareholders of the Company to attend and express their views at
the extraordinary shareholders' meeting. ASE had made numerous
public statements urging shareholders of the Company to attend the
extraordinary shareholders' meeting on October 15, 2015, but now ASE seeks to prevent
the Company from calling this meeting on October 15, 2015. ASE's positions are apparently
contradictory.
The Company will in accordance with the law protect our
shareholders' attendance of the lawfully-convened extraordinary
shareholders' meeting, and concurrently urges our shareholders to
attend the extraordinary shareholders' meeting on October 15, 2015, and support the Company's
proposals.
