Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation to Change Company Initials, Domain Name From Aug. 11

TAIPEI, Taiwan--(Business Wire)--
The Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation will change its company name
initials from TSEC to TWSE and its domain name from tse.com.tw to
twse.com.tw, from Aug. 11, 2008.

   In addition, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation's Web site
address will be changed to www.twse.com.tw.

   The Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation said that its current
initials are easily mistaken for the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Stock
Exchange of Thailand, the Toronto Stock Exchange or the Tel Aviv Stock
Exchange.

   The use of TSEC has therefore caused the Taiwan Stock Exchange
Corporation difficulty in its globalization efforts, it explained.

   To avoid such confusion, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation has
decided to change its initials, domain name, and Web site address.

   Meanwhile, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation said that its
existing domain name will still remain functional, along with the new
one, for six months for the convenience of all parties concerned.

   In other words, prior to Feb. 10, 2009, the Taiwan Stock Exchange
Corporation's old and new e-mail addresses -- @tse.com.tw and
@twse.com.tw -- will both be operational, according to the company.
