Shareholders and members of the public have been deeply concerned recently about fraudulent online advertisements related to virtual currencies and fund investments illegally using the photo of Terry Gou, founder of Hon Hai Technology Group (“the Company”).
This fraudulent act has seriously affected the reputation of the Company and our founder. The Company hereby solemnly condemns the fraud and reserves the right to pursue all legal actions.
We urge the public to be aware of this issue and to contact the Company for verification, if there are any doubts. Our contact information can be found on our official website (www.honhai.com).
On a separate matter, the Company is making clear that Fuscom Co. Ltd., which was convicted by the Taichung District Court of illegal banking, is not affiliated nor related in any way to Hon Hai Technology Group and Foxconn Technology Group.
While Fuscom’s name shares the same Chinese characters as the Company, we urge the media to be precise in their headlines, so as not to cause unnecessary confusion to the public, which could damage the Company’s reputation or infringe on our legal rights.
