(1)       To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)       to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)      to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and

(iii)     to include any material information with respect to the Plan not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2)       That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)       To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)       The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd.

26, Chin 3rd Road

Nanzih District

Kaohsiung, Taiwan

Republic of China

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8 of ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We act as the special Republic of China (the “ROC”) counsel to you, ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (“you” or the “Company”) in connection with your filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on August 15, 2024 for the registration of the issuance of a certain number of shares of common stock, par value NT$10 per share, of the Company (the “New Shares”) under the 2024 Restricted Stock Awards Plan (the “Restricted Stock Awards Plan”).

In rendering this opinion, we have examined the originals or copies of the following documents:

(i) the resolution made at the meeting of the board of directors of the Company held on March 28, 2024 and the resolution made at the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company held on June 26, 2024 (collectively, the “Resolutions”),

(ii) the Articles of Incorporation as amended on June 26, 2024 and the corporate registration card dated July 9, 2024 of the Company,

(iii) the public records of the Company made available at the website of the ROC Ministry of Economic Affairs (“MOEA”) on August 15, 2024,

(iv) the approval letter of the Financial Supervisory Commission dated July 29, 2024(Ref. 1130350508);

Baker & McKenzie, a Taiwanese Partnership, is a member of Baker & McKenzie International, a Swiss Verein.

 

(v) Registration Statement, which constitutes a prospectus of the Company under the Securities Act, with the Restricted Stock Awards Plan attached as an exhibit, and

(vi) the certificate issued by the Company to us dated August 15, 2024.

We have also examined the relevant laws and regulations of the ROC and originals or copies of such other documents, agreements and instruments as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. During our review of the above documents, we have (i) relied on such statements as to factual matters made in the Resolutions, (ii) assumed that all documents we received from the Company are final documents, as may be amended or supplemented prior to the date that New Shares are issued, and (iii) made such investigation as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

To the extent that the obligations of the Company under the Resolutions may be dependent upon such matters, we have assumed for purposes of this opinion that (i) your corporate registration is not subject to cancellation or revocation as a result of having submitted forged or altered documents in your application for registration of its company incorporation, (ii) your public records made available at the website of the MOEA are a full, current and correct record of the corporate status of you at the time of our search, (iii) all factual statements made in the documents submitted to us are correct and complete and that such documents are not void and have not been amended, superseded, revoked or revised in any manner, and (iv) the minutes of the Resolutions are the full records of resolutions passed at meetings duly convened and held by the shareholders or the board of the directors of the Company, as the case may be.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of the signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and the legal capacity of all individuals executing those documents.

We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction only of the present laws and regulations of the ROC, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions and qualifications herein contained, we are of the opinion that, as of the date hereof:

(1)the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of the ROC as a company limited by shares; and

2 

 

(2)the New Shares (initially in the form of the certificate of payment) have been duly authorized and, when delivered to the persons who have been granted with such New Shares under the Restricted Stock Awards Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. For the purposes of this opinion, the term “non-assessable” in relation to shares of capital stock of the Company under ROC law means that no calls for further payment can be made upon such capital stock or upon any holders of such capital stock solely by reason of their ownership thereof.

Our opinion is subject to the qualification that:

(i) The exercise of any rights may not be repugnant to public interests or have a primary purpose to harm another person, and that rights must be exercised in good faith.

(ii) No liability arising from a willful act or gross negligence may be disclaimed in advance.

(iii) Enforcement of rights for claims in relation to the subscription rights under the Restricted Stock Awards Plan and Resolutions is subject to applicable statutes of limitations under the laws of the ROC.

(iv) Under the Code of Civil Procedure, a party to the litigation has the right to dispute at the oral proceeding the fact alleged by the opposing party, and the court has discretionary power to admit or rule out the evidence. Any determination, certificate or other matters stated in the Resolutions to be conclusive may, nevertheless, be subject to review by the court.
