The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Based on the business synergies from collaboration with the target company, the Company comprehensively assessed the target company's business environment, capital policy and other factors, and determined that converting these convertible bonds into shares would contribute to the reliable recovery of invested capital and the maximisation of capital efficiency across the Company's Group. Although the target company is loss-making and has negative net assets, the Company believes that any material adverse impact on the Group's medium- to long-term financial soundness will be limited.
