Pegatron Chairman Jason Chang clarifies that Kinus is unaffected by 'origin laundering' probes due to its lack of Chinese facilities, citing liquidity for stock sales.
What Happened
Addressing Allegations: Pegatron Chairman Jason Chang responded to recent investigations into ABF substrate maker Unimicron regarding alleged origin laundering. He emphasized that his subsidiary, Kinus, remains unaffected by these geopolitical and regulatory concerns as it does not operate large-scale factories in China.
Stock Divestiture: Regarding the recent sale of Kinus shares, Chang clarified that the move was purely for capital allocation purposes. He noted that the transaction volume was minimal relative to market activity and that Pegatron retains over 30% ownership, signaling continued confidence in the company.
Industry Warning: Chang cautioned that in the current climate of US-China trade tensions, origin laundering is a major violation of international trade regulations. He urged Taiwanese peers to strictly adhere to global standards to protect their hard-earned market positions.
Short-term Outlook: While the market has reacted to the origin laundering controversy, Chang views the incident as a short-term issue. He expressed hope that the investigations will conclude quickly, allowing the industry to refocus on technological advancement and market competition.
