Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited Announces Commencement of Rights Offering

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Dec. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited (“APWC” or “Company”) (NASDAQ: APWC) today announced the commencement of its rights offering previously reported on August 29, 2025.

In the rights offering, the Company will distribute, at no charge to its shareholders, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase additional common shares of the Company at the subscription price of $1.66 per common share. The subscription rights will be issued to its holders of record as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time (“EST”) December 11, 2025, the record date for the rights offering, at a ratio of one subscription right per common share. The rights offering includes (1) a basic subscription right, and (2) an over-subscription right, which allows each rights holder that exercises its basic subscription rights in full, the option to purchase additional common shares that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering. The over-subscription right is subject to the availability of shares and pro rata allocation among holders exercising their over-subscription right.

With today’s announcement, our subscription and information agents will begin distributing requisite documents, instructions, and informational materials, including subscription right certificates, notices to shareholders and brokers, and the rights offerings’ prospectus, filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“Prospectus”). The subscription period, during which the subscription rights may be exercised, starts today and ends at 5:00 p.m. EST on January 23, 2026, the expiration date of the rights offering.

The purpose of the rights offering is to raise equity capital in a cost-effective manner, which allows all Company shareholders the opportunity to participate on a pro rata basis. If the rights offering is fully subscribed, the Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $33.9 million to be used for general working capital and corporate purposes, as discussed in the Prospectus.

The Company believes this rights offering provides an excellent and fair opportunity for all of our existing shareholders to participate in our plans to enter the North American market and to invest in new products and technologies that are additive in value creation and will complement and enhance our traditional wire and cable business. CEO C.T. Yuan and the management team believe this initial round of investment is an integral part of our efforts to drive future growth and create long-term, sustainable shareholder value for the Company.
