This 6-K provides the formal notice and agenda for CHIPMOS Technologies' 2026 Annual Shareholders' Meeting. Key proposals include the adoption of the 2025 business report and financial statements, which confirm a significant decline in net profit and earnings per share compared to 2024, as previously reported in the 20-F. The company proposes not to distribute dividends from 2025 earnings. However, it plans a substantial cash distribution of NT$1.23 per share from capital surplus, representing a significant return of capital to shareholders. This mixed approach reflects the company's weaker 2025 performance while still providing shareholder returns.
