Item 1. Security and Issuer

 

Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. ( “ASE”) hereby amends and supplements its report on Schedule 13D, as filed on October 2, 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. 8, 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 December 11, 2015, SPIL announced a potential transaction with Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd. (“Tsinghua”), the (“Tsinghua Transaction”). Pursuant to the Tsinghua Transaction, if it is approved by SPIL shareholders, Tsinghua will acquire 24.9% of SPIL’s Common Shares at a price of NT$55 per Common Share.

 

ASE firmly believes that the Tsinghua Transaction is not in the best interests of SPIL’s shareholders. In order to protect its significant investment in SPIL, ASE submitted today a written proposal to SPIL to acquire 100% of its outstanding Common Shares not owned by ASE for NT$55 per share and 100% of its outstanding ADSs not owned by ASE for NT$275 per ADS, in cash (the “Proposal”).

 

ASE’s Proposal is subject to execution and delivery of a mutually satisfactory share exchange agreement (as well as related documentation) containing customary terms and conditions (including closing conditions). Most importantly, ASE’s Proposal is contingent on the termination or cancellation of the Tsinghua Transaction in accordance with its terms or applicable laws.

 

In addition, as a result of the Tsinghua Transaction, ASE may make additional proposals to SPIL relating to other potential transactions, attempt to influence the management of SPIL or acquire additional SPIL shares, whether in the market or through one or more tender offers.

 

A copy of ASE’s Proposal is attached as Exhibit 11.

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits

 

Exhibit 10: Press Release dated December 14, 2015.

 

Exhibit 11: Letter to SPIL’s Board of Directors dated December 14, 2015.
