【研討會報名】理律將於9月20日舉辦「永續報告書的最適內容及其潛在的法律責任」 研討會，敬邀您蒞臨。   在全球的#ESG 風潮之下，上市櫃公司通過「企業永續報告書」（ESG Report）向外界揭露的資訊及內容已成為機構投資人和其他利害關係人評估公司在「永續經營」方面的成績單，以及在進行貸款或投資決策時的重要依據。   實際上，台灣商界對於過去十餘年來由「企業社會責任報告」（CSR Report）演化到ESG Report的過程均已耳熟能詳。但若詳閱不同產業且規模各異的上市櫃公司在過去所發佈的ESG Report，可發現在內容的呈現方式上可謂是五花八門、各具特色；惟從機構投資人的角度而言，卻是不容易從中找到具體的、直接受永續經營策略所影響的、與ESG活動直接相關的財務數據。諸多董事會成員更是憂慮，在兩、三年後，當主管機關要求所有上市櫃公司必須遵循IFRS 所發佈的S1及S2準則來編製財報時，各家公司的ESG Report是否能既發揮揚長避短的功效，又不會淪於漂綠或甚至造成公司及董事會的法律責任？   基於以上的考量，理律法律事務所及台北市獨立董事協會、KPMG 安侯建業聯合會計師事務所特別攜手舉辦本次研討會，由本所郭瑜芳律師、吳志光律師及KPMG黃郁婷執業會計師進行分享，歡迎踴躍報名參加。   👉報名網址：https://lnkd.in/gmjChJiv   📆時間：2024年9月20日（五）14:00-16:20（實體/視訊） 📍地點：理律法律事務所三樓會議室（台北市忠孝東路四段555號）／線上會議   🖥詳細議程和研討會資訊：https://lnkd.in/grDRaxDa

【Bulletin】Our August 2024 Bulletin has been published. The focus article is：Amendments to the Regulations Governing Public Tender Offers for Securities of Public Companies and the Regulations Governing Information to be Published in Public Tender Offer Prospectuses Promulgated by the Financial Supervisory Commission   To align with the amendment to Article 43 of the Securities and Exchange Act, which lowers the threshold for reporting and announcing the acquisition of shares to 5%, the Financial Supervisory Commission (the "FSC") has revised Article 27 of the Regulations Governing Public Tender Offers for Securities of Public Companies (the "Tender Offer Rules"). The amendment, which took effect on May 10, 2024, reduces the reporting threshold from 10% to 5%.   In addition, the FSC also revised the Tender Offer Rules and the Guidelines for the Contents of the Public Tender Offer Prospectus, which became effective on December 4, 2023. These changes aim to better protect tenderers' interests and strengthen public tender offerors' ability to meet their settlement obligations.   🔎For a detailed explanation of the key amendments, please refer to: https://lnkd.in/g_6i3hEu   📰 Lee and Li's #Corporate and #Investment Practice Group： https://lnkd.in/gRvh8yQ #Taiwan #Legal #News #Finance
