On April 15, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE), the global frontrunner in semiconductor assembly and testing, declared its acquisition of the Fab5 plant, along with associated facilities, from Innolux, a prominent panel manufacturer, situated in the Tainan Science Park. The deal was struck for NTD 14.85 billion (approximately RMB 3.34 billion). Concurrently, Innolux announced that it anticipates realizing a disposal gain of around NTD 13.3 billion (approximately RMB 2.9 billion), with these earnings set to be recognized post-closing in accordance with accounting standards. Previously, Innolux had offloaded another plant to ChipMOS Technologies for NTD 880 million, with the objective of optimizing asset allocation and boosting capital utilization. Through the sale of the Fab5 plant, Innolux aims to expedite asset liquidation, thereby providing support for subsequent technological R&D and industrial deployment. (Note: Here, 'industrial layout' is rendered as 'industrial deployment' for a more natural English expression, while still maintaining the HTML-like structure.) ASE, with this acquisition, can swiftly introduce production lines, curtail the plant construction timeline, and reserve space for future capacity expansion to cater to the burgeoning demands of AI and high-performance computing.
