The
2007 Financial
Statements, including
Balance
Sheet, Statement of
Income, Statement
of Changes
in Stockholders'
Equity, and
Statement
of Cash
Flows, were audited
by independent
auditors, Mei-Yu
Tseng and Chung-Hwa Wei, of
KPMG, in
accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements
by Certified Public Accountant, and
auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. In their
opinion, the
2007 Financial Statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the
financial position and the results of the operations and
the cash flows, in
conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial
Reports by Securities Issuers, Business
Accounting Act, and
accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of
China.
|
-
|
The 2007 Business Report and
Financial
Statements have been
reviewed by the
Audit
Committee.
|
-
|
For 2007 Business Report, Audit Committee’s Report, and Financial Statements thereto, please refer to Attachment
1, 2 and 3 (page 5-13).
|
(2)
|
To accept the proposal for the distribution of 2007 profits (proposed by the Board of
Directors)
|
-
|
The proposed distributions are
allocated from 2007 earnings available for distribution. For the 2007
earnings distribution statement, please refer to Attachment
4 (page 14)
|
-
|
The
total amount of common shares outstanding may change and the ultimate cash
and stock to be distributed to each common share may need to be adjusted
accordingly should the Company subsequently issue new common shares as a
result of the exercise of employee stock options or the conversion of
convertible bonds. It is proposed that the Chairman of Board of Directors
of the Company be authorized to adjust the cash and stock to be
distributed to each common share based on the total amount resolved to be
distributed, and the number of actual common shares outstanding on the
record date for the distribution.
|
(3)
|
To approve the proposal for the capitalization of 2007 stock dividends and employee
stock bonus
(proposed by the Board of
Directors)
|
-
|
For the purpose of production capacity expansion, it is proposed that a total of
NTD 6,371,362,900 (representing 637,136,290 common shares) from
AUO’s retained earnings be
|
-
|
The capitalization plan will take
effect upon the
approval of related authorities. The stock dividend distribution will be based on the list
of shareholders registered as of the record date of stock dividend. Each
shareholder will be entitled to receive 50 common shares for every 1,000 common shares. If a portion of the dividend does
not amount to one full share, the shareholders concerned may
pool together their
fractional shares to
form one full share and register the same within 5 days from the record date. For the fractional
shares which cannot be pooled, the distribution will be made in the form
of cash rounded down to the nearest dollar amount calculated at par
value. Such fractional
shares will be designated for subscription at
face value by AUO Employee Welfare Commission. AUO’s Chairman is authorized to decide
the allocation of employee stock
bonus.
|
-
|
As
of April 21, 2008 (the first day of book-close period for the Meeting),
the number of exercisable shares of employees' stock options that AUO
granted is approximately 3,352,877 shares. In accordance with AUO's
Employee Stock Options Plans, AUO has to adjust upwards the number of
outstanding employees' stock options in proportion to the proposed capital
increase. It is estimated that the number of such additional employees'
stock options is approximately 271,501 shares. Since the additional
employees' stock options are issued in proportion to the increase of
capital, it shall not cause any material impact to shareholders' interest.
There are sufficient common shares reserved in the Articles of
Incorporation for granting the aforesaid employees' stock
options.
|
-
|
The rights and obligations of the
new common shares are the same as existing
ones.
|
-
|
The production capacity expansion plan concerned
will be completed by end of 2009, which is expected to result in
the increase of AUO’s total production volume by
approximately
2,740 thousand pieces from
2008 to 2012. The Board of Directors is
authorized to determine or amend all the matters related to the
production
capacity expansion
plan concerned, including but not limited to the
use of proceeds and the schedule and estimated effect, as required by the competent
authority or the market
conditions.
|
-
|
The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the record date of stock dividend
after the capitalization plan receives approval from the governmental authority in charge.
|
(4)
|
To approve the proposal for the revisions to the “Rules for the Election of
Directors and Supervisors” (proposed by the Board of
Directors)

It is proposed to revise the “Rules for the Election of Directors and
Supervisors” to accommodate the establishment of Audit
Committee.
|
-
|
A comparison table for the
“Rules for the Election of
Directors and Supervisors” before and after amendments is attached hereto as attachment
5 (page 15-16).
|
(5)
|

releasing the
Directors from non-competition restrictions (proposed by the Board of

|
Small-medium sized applications experienced robust
growth. Mobile phone and DSC applications demanded for improved larger
panel size, wide screen, and high resolution. In
addition, digital photo frames and
low-cost notebook PC applications experienced vital
growth. New emerging
applications continued being introduced into the market caused small- and
medium- sized panels to face market supply shortage once
again.
|
2.
|
IT production line (desktop
monitor and notebook PC display) trend towards larger sizes, wide screen, multi-functional, and consumer electronics. With
increasing demand to deliver products that are environmental
green, energy conservation, and ultra-thin-light
designs, notebook PC applications are
adapting more and more to utilizing LED backlight platform
technology, which will be the trend going
forward.
|
3.
|
LCD TV demand has increased
momentum and grown substantially, from a 24% penetration in 2006 to
38% this year and is anticipated to reach above 51% by 2008. AUO will
continue to concentrate on the technical research and product development for large
sized LCD TV applications.
|
4.
|
Touch panel applications have
flourished tremendously. Its anticipated growth has been captured by
AUO’s breakthrough on in-cell
multi-touch panel technologies. With the new fiscal year, the demand for touch panels is expected to
experience vigorous growth and in turn enhance its product
value.
|
1.
|
Continuously optimizing the finer details of our operation
thereby strengthening AUO’s competitive edge in the TFT-LCD
industry.
|
2.
|
Continued progress in Global
Warming awareness and social responsibility
contributions.
|
3.
|
We anticipate potentially volatile
world economic
changes, brought on by the likes of;
sub-prime crisis, European Union’s new trade policies, exchange rate risks, Beijing Olympics, industry alliance in Japan and Korea, and changes in market
sentiment, which all can potentially impact
the TFT-LCD industry dramatically. AUO is
poised for taking advantage and control risk management for sudden market
transitions.
