On April 13, 2015 the Company attended an arraignment in the United States District Court for the Northern District Court of California regarding a proceeding initiated by the probation officer of the Court that AUO has failed to implement an effective compliance program.
AUO believes it has complied with the terms of the judgment, including implementing an effective antitrust compliance program and does not believe there is any basis for an additional fine. AUO's antitrust compliance program includes publishing state-of-the-art compliance documents, the hiring of a former commissioner of the Taiwan Fair Trade Commission as AUO's Chief of Antitrust Compliance, and the repeated training of well over 1,000 employees. The implementation of the Company's compliance program is assisted by external professional legal counsel and will be further strengthened as necessary. AUO will continue its efforts to implement its antitrust compliance program and will meet with the relevant authorities to address any concerns the probation officer has. This event does not have a material effect to the Company's current operation.
