Structuring a reverse takeover from Taiwan
An early structuring question for a Taiwanese group is the offshore holding company — commonly a Cayman Islands or similar vehicle — through which the US listing is effected. Just as important are Taiwan's outbound-investment and foreign-exchange rules: cross-border capital movements and offshore investments can require notification to or approval from the relevant authorities, and the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) oversees the securities environment. The sequencing of the share-for-share exchange, the funding of the offshore parent, and any approvals should be planned so they align with the reverse-takeover timetable rather than interrupt it. These rules are detailed and subject to change; a company should treat the above as orientation and confirm the specifics with qualified Taiwanese and US counsel.
