Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. ( “ASE”) hereby amends and supplements its report on Schedule 13D, as filed on December 29, 2015 (the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Shares, NT$10 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), and American depositary shares, each representing five Common Shares (“ADSs”), of Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd., a company limited by shares under the Company Law of the Republic of China (“SPIL”). Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 11, but not defined herein, shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

 

On March 17, 2016, ASE announced that the Offers were unsuccessful due to the TFTC Condition not being satisfied prior to the expiration of the Offers. A copy of ASE’s Press Release is attached as Exhibit 13. Notwithstanding the failure of the Offers, ASE continues to seek to obtain control of SPIL, with the purpose of effecting an acquisition of 100% of the Common Shares and ADSs of SPIL not owned by it (the “SPIL Combination”).

 

In order to implement the SPIL Combination, ASE intends to seek to discharge the SPIL Board at one or more shareholders’ meetings, or await the expiration of the current SPIL Board’s term, and elect new nominees to the SPIL Board. If after such election one half or more of the SPIL Board is composed of candidates nominated or designated by ASE, ASE intends, in accordance with the Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Act, to cause the SPIL Board to resolve in favor a SPIL Combination. The consideration to be paid by ASE in any such SPIL Combination will be subject to determination at a future date.

 

ASE will otherwise continue to seek opportunities for cooperation with SPIL, subject to applicable law, and intends to otherwise attempt to influence the management of SPIL. In addition, ASE intends to consider other possibilities, including further acquisitions of Common Shares, including those represented by ADSs, whether in the market, privately negotiated transactions, or through one or more tender offers, or one or more other potential transactions. ASE will continue to review its investment in SPIL on the basis of available information and reserves the right to increase or decrease its ownership stake from time to time.

 

The Taiwan Fair Trade Commission (the “TFTC”) is continuing to review the Proposed Combination. If the TFTC approves the Proposed Combination, ASE expects to continue to seek the support of SPIL shareholders in order to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of SPIL not owned by ASE. Simultaneously with the acquisition of SPIL, ASE plans to establish a holding company (“HoldCo”) in Taiwan that will hold 100% of the equity interests in both ASE and SPIL such that ASE and SPIL will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of HoldCo. HoldCo. will maintain all current operations of ASE and SPIL in Taiwan.
