Taiwanese foundry manufacturer brings first own name CB in four years.

Pricing of a $200 million exchangeable into AU Optronics underlines the incredible strength of the Taiwanese equity-linked market.

The semiconductor company secures the highest ever conversion premium by an Asian borrower.

The world''s second largest foundry manufacturer has secured its coveted NYSE listing in what ranks as non-Japan Asia''s largest corporate, non-privatisation equity offering.

Both companies are ploughing ahead with equity offerings in the hope that international equity will buck negative sentiment on the domestic bourse.
