Subject: Approved by Board for Acer Gaming subsidiary, WINKING
ENTERTAINMENT LTD, listing in the overseas stock market
Date of events: 2023/03/16
Contents:
1.Date of the board of directors: 2023/03/16
2.Date of the shareholders meeting: 2023/06/06
3.Name of the subsidiary applying for listing and trading in an
overseas securities market:
WINKING ENTERTAINMENT LTD
4.Purpose of applying for listing and trading in an overseas
securities market:
Acer Gaming Inc. (TPEx Emerging Stock Code:6908, hereinafter
referred to as "AGM"), in order to expand the gaming business and
enter into the gaming content industry, was resolved by the board
of directors of AGM and the Company to invest in WINKING
ENTERTAINMENT LTD (hereinafter referred to as "WINKING") in August
2022. AGM has obtained 54.96% of WINKING issued shares. WINKING is
a world-renowned professional design company for gaming art, and it
has customers of world-renowned game companies and provides
advanced art outsourcing production and game development services,
and participates in the production of plenty well-known games.
WINKING is established and registered in the British Cayman
Islands. In addition to the original offices in Taiwan, China, and
Hong Kong, the operating team will continue to extend its branches
to Southeast Asia, such as Singapore, Philippines, Europe, and the
United States.
The reasons that WINKING considers applying for listing in the
overseas stock market are raising funds, expanding financing
channels, improving mergers and acquisitions and investment in
superiority gaming art production and gaming developers
opportunities, thereby enhancing the company's global
competitiveness and popularity.
5.Impact on the finance and business of the Company due to apply
for listing
and trading in an overseas securities market:
(1) Impact on the finance of the Company:
WINKING's overseas listing will raise working capital for
operation, strengthen its financial structure and financing
capabilities, attract outstanding talents, and further promote the
development of more gaming projects. Besides, no matter Winking
appliers for stock listing in Taiwan or overseas, the Company's
shareholding ratio will be diluted for complying relevant legal
requirements, but, however, it is expected that AGM will still hold
more than 50% of the total issued shares of WINKING or maintain
control power to WINKING. Therefore, WINKING will continue to be
one of the Company's subsidiaries included in Acer consolidated
financial statements. Therefore, WINKING's overseas listing has no
negative impact on the Company's finances.
(2) Impact on the business of the Company:
the Company does not engage in the same business as AGM and
WINKING. The purpose of AGM's investment in acquiring WIKING's
shares is to expand gaming business, from gaming and accessories
hardware distribution business towards the content-related
business. Although AGM, WINKING and the Company have cooperation
opportunities in the future, they still develop business
independently. Therefore, WINKING's application for listing in
overseas stock exchanges is beneficial to AGMs' overseas business
expansion, and has no negative impact on the Company.
6.Proposed changes in the organizational structure and business:
No Change
7.Impact of the proposed changes in the organizational structure
and business on the listed company:
WINKING's operating organizational structure and business have
not been adjusted due to WINKING's overseas listing. For complying
with relevant regulations and corporate governance requirements of
overseas securities markets, for practice as well, WINKING adjusts
the number of board of directors to five seats, including three
independent directors, which is also in line with Acer Group's
expectations for corporate governance.
In addition, if WINKING's overseas listing is successful, it is
expected that AGM will still hold more than 50% of the total issued
shares of WINKING or maintain its controlling power. Therefore,
WINKING's overseas listing will have no impact on the Company; and
WINKING will still be included in Acer's consolidated financial
statements.
8.Method of shareholding dispersal and proposed percentage of
shareholding or contributions reduction:
In response to the equity dispersion required for this WINKING's
overseas listing, the issuance of new shares and the release of
original shares by WINKING shareholders will follow relevant stock
exchange law and regulation for complying with the fundamental
requirements of the local laws and regulations on the dispersion of
shares. It is currently estimated (take Singapore Catalist as an
example) that the number of new shares issued to public
shareholders (including pre-listing investors) after listing
approval and WINKING shareholders release the original shares
issued will not be less than 15% of the total shares of WINKING
after listing. The shareholding ratio of specific public
shareholders and the issue price will be handled in accordance with
the relevant laws and regulations of the listing place and the
listing rules. The share released by WINKING's shareholders will be
negotiated with other shareholders of WINKING, and AGM will not
participate in this release.
It is expected that AGM will still hold more than 50% of
WINKING's shares or maintain its controlling power.
9.Basis of price determination:
The issue price will be handled in accordance with the relevant
laws and regulations of the listing place and the listing
rules.
10.Parties to whom equities (or contributions) are to be
assigned or specified persons being contacted:
The person who will subscribe the new shares or will be
transferred with the equity shall be qualified investors to comply
with the local laws and regulations of the listing place, the
listing rules and the regulations of the securities regulatory
authority.
11.Any effect on the ongoing listing of the listed company:
After the listing and release of shares, the Taiwan Stock
Exchange still has its review and discretion over the Acer Inc.'s
continued listing in accordance with the relevant regulations of
its review guidelines.
In view of WINKING's overseas issuing, the method of information
disclosure will be in accordance with the relevant regulations of
Taiwan Stock Exchange, which will not affect the Acer Inc.'s
continued listing on the Taiwan Stock Exchange.
12.Date of the special committee or audit committee(on item 4 to
item 11): 2023/03/16
13.Any other matters that need to be specified:
The motion will be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for
discussion.
