The proposal for distribution of 2002 profits was adapted at the shareholders meeting as follow:
1. Cash dividends: Each shareholder of common shares will receive a cash dividend of NT$2 per common share. GDRs shareholders will get NT$4 per GDR since each GDR represents 2 common shares.
2. Stock dividends: Both shareholders of common shares and GDRs will be entitled to receive 10% stock dividend, which means shareholders will get 100 shares for each 1000 common shares.
The ex-dividend date will be July 07, 2003 and the Company set the record date for Sunplus' shares listed and traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange to be July 13, 2003.The shareholders' register shall be closed for registration of transfer from July 9 through July 13, 2003. To be entitled for the above-mentioned stock dividend, any person acquires Sunplus' shares without being registered as a holder shall apply for the shareholders' registration with Agency Department of Grand Cathay Securites Corp. before July 8, 2003.
**The common shareholders will receive the dividend-stock receipts and cash dividend around late August 2002 when the stock receipts are well printed and entitled. The GDRs distribution date will be about one to two weeks after the common share dividend is distributed due to GDR Depositary Bank redistribution.
