HONG KONG and NEW YORK, May 18, 2010 — BNY Mellon, the global leader in asset management and securities servicing, will act as depositary bank for Wintek Corporation (Wintek), which has raised capital in the form of 30 million global depositary receipts (GDRs).  Each Wintek GDR represents five ordinary shares and trades on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange under the symbol "WTK."  Wintek's ordinary shares trade on the Taiwan Stock Exchange under the code "2384."  Wintek GDRs and ordinary shares have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. (absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements).

With more than 37,000 employees, Wintek designs, develops, manufactures and sells indium tin oxide (ITO) glass, touch panels, light guides, liquid crystal displays and liquid crystal modules.  The firm's touch-display technology is used in a large number of mobile devices and products, including mobile phones, digital still cameras, portable navigation devices, portable music players, digital picture frames, and ultra-mobile PCs.  Through its subsidiaries, Wintek also produces machinery and equipment used in the manufacture of related electronic components, parts and accessories.  

"We are very pleased with the success of this recent follow-on offering and its uptake," said James Chen, vice president of Wintek.  "As always, BNY Mellon's experts were able to complete the transaction flawlessly so we could focus on our business and our investors."

"Wintek, which creates cutting edge technology integral to today's ever advancing electronics marketplace, is a great example of our view of the Asia-Pacific region," said Michael Cole-Fontayn, chief executive officer of BNY Mellon's Depositary Receipts business.  "Taiwan is an important and dynamic market with a healthy pipeline of companies looking to gain global visibility and investment through DR programs."
