-- Tokyo Electron (TYO:8035) said a Taiwan court has ordered its subsidiary Tokyo Electron Taiwan to pay a fine over a case involving a former employee and a customer's confidential information, according to a Monday filing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The court imposed a fine of NT$150 million, with the sentence suspended for three years subject to payments of NT$100 million to the affected customer and NT$50 million to the Taiwanese government.
The company said the ruling relates to inadequate supervisory obligations but found no organizational involvement or external leakage of confidential information.
