5.Content of the report:

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn hopes to resume half of its production in China by month-end, a source told Reuters on Wednesday, as the supplier to tech giant Apple and others reopens plants shut over a coronavirus outbreak.

The world's largest contract electronics maker also aims to resume 80% of production in China in March, added the source, who has direct knowledge of the matter, citing internal targets set by Chairman Liu Young-Way.

6.Countermeasures:

Reuters recently published a report with false information about Hon Hai's schedule on the resumption of production in China. We hereby officially clarify that the information in the report is incorrect. For the past few days, the media has been falsely reporting on Hon Hai's production in China which has caused misleading and serious implications for employees, investors and the general public. Therefore, we sincerely hope these unfounded rumors can be stopped. Hon Hai will resort to legal measures if necessary.
