Companies incorporated in the Cayman Islands have long been a
popular choice as listing vehicles on most of the world's major
stock exchanges, including the Taipei Exchange (TPEx) and the
Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE).
Ever since Maples and Calder, the Maples Group's law firm,
acted as the Cayman counsel on the pioneering listing of the first
Cayman Islands company on the Taiwan Stock Exchange in 2010, more
than 100 Cayman Islands companies have followed suit and listed or
registered on the TWSE and TPEx.
Deals involving Taiwan's technology and other start-up
ventures have long used Cayman Islands companies within their deal
structures to take advantage of the myriad benefits associated with
the jurisdiction. This trend has intensified and Cayman Islands
incorporated vehicles have increasingly been the jurisdiction of
choice for start-up companies and venture capital investments.
