Additional Information for U.S. Investors

The Share Swap and the series of related transactions will be implemented under Taiwan law and is subject to procedural and disclosure requirements that are different from those of the United States. The securities to be issued by Woods in the Share Swap will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act provided by Rule 802 thereunder, and the Company and any of its affiliates participating in the Share Swap will be exempt from the Rule 13e-3 requirements. The solicitation of votes for the Share Swap under the Handbook are, and the offers to be made under the Offer Document will, be exempt from the proxy and tender offer rules under the US Exchange Act.

The Share Swap relates to the securities of two Taiwan companies and is subject to Taiwan procedural and disclosure requirements that are different from those of the US. Any financial statements or other financial information included in the Handbook may have been prepared in accordance with non-US accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of US companies or companies whose financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the US.

It may be difficult for US investors of either company to enforce their rights and any claims they may have arising under the US federal securities laws in connection with the Share Swap, since the Taiwan companies are located in a country other than the United States, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of countries other than the United States. US investors in the two companies may not be able to sue the companies or their respective officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel the two companies and their respective affiliates to subject themselves to the jurisdiction or judgment of a US court. US investors of the Company should be aware that the Company and its affiliates may purchase or arrange to purchase securities of the two Taiwan companies otherwise than under the transactions related to the Share Swap, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases.

The Handbook contains certain forward looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and businesses of the two companies. Forward looking statements are based upon information available as of the date of the Handbook. There exist known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements of the Company, before or after the Share Swap, to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
