SAN JOSE, Calif. — In a stunning and revealing letter to shareholders, Robert Tsao on Thursday (Dec. 29) announced that he plans to resign from his positions as chairman and board member of Taiwanese foundry specialist United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC).
The move follows a series of snafus at UMC (Hsinchu). In particular, Tsao has been the center of attention in UMC’s recent move to restate its results and a controversial investment in a Chinese foundry provider.
Tsao reportedly said Wednesday (Dec. 29) he is considering delisting the contract chipmaker from the Taiwan Stock Exchange after being penalized for delaying disclosures.
