At Land Bank, we have long been supporting Taiwanese companies in expanding their manufacturing footprint in Taiwan. Adhering to this principle, we have acted as the lead arranger for the “AOET NT$4.93 Billion Syndicated Loan”. The fundraising has been successfully completed, with an oversubscription rate reaching 117%. On April 16, 2026, the syndicated loan contract was signed between Land Bank's Deputy General Manager Tsai Tzu-Yin (as the banking syndicate) and AOET’s Chairman Kao Wei-Ya (as the borrower). We fully support AOET in expanding its production capacity, further accelerating the diversification of its products and supply chain.

The proceeds of the NT$4.93 billion syndicated loan will be used to repay loans from financial institutions, enrich working capital, expand local production sites, and purchase machinery and equipment. Land Bank acts as the lead arranger and facility manager, with Chang Hwa Bank, EnTie Commercial Bank, Agricultural Bank of Taiwan, Taiwan Cooperative Bank, First Commercial Bank, Mega International Commercial Bank, Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank, Bank SinoPac, and Rakuten Bank all participating in the syndicated loan. The loan was originally set at NT$4.2 billion; however, due to enthusiastic participation from the banking consortium, the final amount was closed at NT$4.93 billion. This fully demonstrated the financial sector’s recognition and confidence in AOET’s robust operations and growth potential.

AOET is a Taiwan-based professional developer and manufacturer of optical lenses and the global leader in the laptop camera market. In recent years, AOET has consolidated its position in the laptop camera market while also proactively developing into products associated with fingerprint recognition modules, touchpad modules, and optical communication components. For automotive applications, AOET has launched surround-view cameras and ambient light detection/sensing products. AOET is expanding its portfolio into developing various optical modules required for image sensors in robotic systems,  gradually building a competitive edge through its diversified products. Due to supply chain restructuring worldwide and the Group’s expansion in order to cope with future production capacity needs, AOET has been purchasing and expanding plants in both Taiwan and Vietnam in recent years. This will help AOET better respond to meet future growing demand. At present, AOET's production bases span Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and mainland China. The company also plans to add new production lines for optical communications, touchscreens, and fingerprint recognition, showing significant growth potential.

We, as a state-owned bank, are deeply rooted in Taiwan and follow our core value of “abundance, harmony, enthusiasm, and innovation”. We are committed to playing a part in the development of Taiwanese companies. Aside from building up our leadership position in real estate finance, we are also fulfilling our role as a policy-oriented bank by promoting policy-based loan programs. These include the “Preferential Credit Guarantee for Export Loans”, the “SME Diverse Development Project Loan”, and the “Green Transition, Sustainable Future Initiative”. By doing so, we align with the Executive Yuan’s objective of “Supporting Business, Ensuring Employment, and Facilitating Upgrade”, demonstrating the financial resilience and corporate social responsibility of a state-owned bank.

Looking ahead to 2026, we will continue to promote balanced regional development with the goal of becoming Taiwan’s most trustworthy financial services provider. While striving for continuous growth, the Bank is motivated to provide financial services that put its customers first and treat them with enthusiasm and empathy. The Bank prioritizes each customer's individual needs, fostering sustainable prosperity for companies, society, and the environment.
