For applications (or registration filings) for TPEx listings of securities, the listing fees in the initial year of listing are calculated according to the tables presented above, prorated for the actual number of months listed (a duration less than one month is charged at the full-month rate).
|
| 3 |
Additional stock issued by a TPEx listed company for a capital increase, or stocks of a TPEx listed company that are of a different type than its existing TPEx listed stock, will be charged listing fees in aggregate with the existing TPEx listed stock, beginning from the year after the year of listing of the newly listed stock.
Additional Taiwan Depositary Receipts (TDRs) issued by a foreign issuer and having rights and obligations identical to its existing TPEx listed TDRs will be charged listing fees in aggregate with the existing TDR units, beginning from the year after the year of listing of the newly listed TDR units.
For ordinary bonds, convertible corporate bonds, foreign convertible corporate bonds, exchangeable corporate bonds, corporate bonds with warrants (including corporate bonds with warrants exercised or stripped), and foreign corporate bonds with warrants (including foreign straight corporate bonds with warrants exercised or stripped), the TPEx listing fees in the second year of listing are charged on the balance of issued bonds, prorated over the number of months that the bonds remain outstanding (a duration less than one month is charged at the full-month rate).
For an issuer that, at the time of applying for or registering the TPEx trading of domestic or foreign corporate bonds with warrants, explicitly stated to the TPEx its intent to continue the TPEx trading of the corporate bonds even if the attached warrants become void, then all bonds of that series, whether domestic or foreign corporate bonds with warrants, or domestic corporate bonds of which the warrants have become void, or foreign straight bonds of which the warrants have become void, may be counted aggregately in the total face value of the balance of the issued corporate bonds with warrants for purposes of calculating the TPEx listing fee.
TPEx listing fees for stripped company warrants are charged on the total issuance amount, which is calculated by multiplying the total quantity issued by the issuance price. The provisions of Article 1 regarding stocks shall apply mutatis mutandis, and the fees will be collected in one lump sum according to the duration of the listed company warrants.

Issuers of ordinary bonds, convertible corporate bonds, foreign convertible corporate bonds, exchangeable corporate bonds, corporate bonds with warrants (including those with warrants exercised or stripped), foreign corporate bonds with warrants (including foreign straight bonds with warrants exercised or stripped), beneficial securities, and asset-backed securities, when applying (or filing for registration) for TPEx listing, are required to pay the TPEx a processing charge of NT$5,000 for every category of securities applied for, up to a maximum of NT$200,000 per application. Issuers that apply for separate listings of principal-only and interest-only bonds are required to pay the TPEx a strip bond listing processing charge of not more than NT$1,000 per category, up to a maximum of NT$100,000 per year. However, processing charges are waived for government bonds, bonds issued by multinational institutions and foreign governments, and bonds issued by the Central Deposit Insurance Corporation under the mandate of the Financial Restructuring Fund, Executive Yuan.

For business promotion purposes, the TPEx may flexibly adjust the rates specified for bonds and beneficial securities in paragraph 2, subject to a minimum of 0.021%.
Rate adjustments under the preceding subparagraph will be announced and implemented by the TPEx after they have been submitted to and approved by the competent authority on a case-by-case basis.

For each company, for any given year, the total TPEx listing fees for stock are capped at NT$450,000; the listing fees per TDR are capped at NT$450,000, the listing fees for ordinary bonds are capped at NT$500,000, the aggregate total listing fees for convertible corporate bonds, exchangeable corporate bonds, and corporate bonds with warrants (including bonds with warrants exercised or stripped) are capped at NT$500,000, and the aggregate total listing fees for foreign convertible corporate bonds and foreign corporate bonds with warrants (including foreign straight bonds with warrants exercised or stripped) are capped at NT$500,000.
For beneficial securities and asset-backed securities that are issued in accordance with the Financial Asset Securitization Act, the total TPEx listing fees are capped at NT$500,000 per asset pool per year. For real estate investment trust beneficial securities that are issued in accordance with the Real Estate Securitization Act, the total TPEx listing fees are capped at NT$500,000 per real estate trust asset group per year.
Listing fees on call (put) warrants are charged in one lump sum for the duration of the warrants according to the rate table shown in Point 1; warrants with a duration less than 6 months are charged at the 6-month rate. Follow-on issues of call (put) warrants are charged at NT$20,000 per issue.
In the event that any call (put) warrant issuance units are retired during the duration of the warrants, the TPEx, on the date of delisting of the warrants, will recalculate the listing fees based on the issuance price per unit multiplied by the adjusted quantity; the latter is calculated by subtracting the number of retired units from the initial quantity issued. If the recalculation results in a shortfall, the issuer shall make up the difference within 5 days after receiving the notice from the TPEx.
|
| 7 |
For every subsequent year after the initial year of TPEx listing, the issuer is required to pay the listing fees to the TPEx by the end of January. If a company is delisted after paying the listing fees, the TPEx, after calculating the prorated fee based on the number of months of actual TPEx listing during the year (listings less than one month shall be charged at the full-month rate), will return the remainder to the company.

These Rates, and any amendments hereto, shall enter into force following passage by the TPEx's board of directors and submission to and approval by the competent authority.
