In alignment with the Financial Supervisory Commission's sustainable development policy, TDCC introduced the "eNotice Platform for Shareholder Services" (eNotice platform) on June 30th. This platform extends electronic dividend notification services to companies listed on the stock market, the over-the-counter market, and the emerging stock market. To date, it has garnered over 270,000 users. Among the 917 companies that have signed up to use this service, during the recent high season for ex-dividend dates, over 527,000 dividend notifications have been effectively issued via the eNotice platform. This has notably reduced operational costs and enhanced the efficiency of stock-related services.

Since its launch, TDCC has been actively promoting investor engagement with the eNotice platform. Between June and September of this year, TDCC held a series of prize draw events, including "Early Bird Coffee," "Abundant Weekly Prizes," "Monthly Grand Prizes," and "Surprise Giveaway." The much-anticipated "Surprise Giveaway" awarded five lucky individuals a 200,000 NTD prize each, and the results were officially announced on the TDCC website's eNotice platform section on October 16th, successfully concluding the prize draw activities.

In recent years, ETFs have become a popular investment option among the Taiwanese. Various investment trust companies have introduced different types of ETF products, with fixed period dividend distribution ETFs being particularly favored by investors. As of October 16th this year, there are 242 ETFs available in the market, out of which 141 are of the dividend distribution type, with frequencies ranging from monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, semi-annually, to annually. The number of ETF investors benefiting from dividend distribution has exceeded 6.6 million, with approximately 22.83 million dividend distribution notices sent out each year.

In line with the goals of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and expanding digital innovation, TDCC is planning to enhance the electronic distribution of ETF dividend notices through the eNotice platform. This initiative has already received approval from the Financial Supervisory Commission and is expected to be launched for public use by March next year. It is anticipated that this step will lead to savings of nearly 160 million NTD in domestic fund dividend distribution operational costs for investment trust companies. Investors will be able to easily access dividend distribution information at any time through the eNotice platform via a link in the TDCC ePassbook App or broker’s App. Furthermore, this service will ensure the protection of personal privacy, providing a superior digital experience for investors in this new era.

TDCC President Te-Hsiang Chen, emphasized that the corporation has been actively promoting various stock-related digital services in recent years in full support of the Financial Supervisory Commission's sustainable development policy. These initiatives include eVoting and eMeeting, which facilitate multiple channels for shareholders to exercise their rights. TDCC also protects shareholder and beneficiary owners’ rights while providing these services. The eNotice platform, with its electronic notifications for shareholder services, further enhances stock-related digital services. TDCC is committed to continuing its innovative efforts in optimizing a variety of digital platform services, all in pursuit of ESG sustainable development goals, while adhering to the principles of mutual prosperity and shared benefits with the capital market.
