EXPLANATORY NOTE

Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd.

The Press Release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the March 27 Report is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 6-K/A.

The Company is filing this Form 6-K/A to amend a typographical error regarding the number of non-independent directors. Page four of the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the March 27 Report erroneously stated, “Each qualified shareholder can submit one proposal and up to five independent director and thirteen non-independent director nominations”. The number of non-independent directors should be eight instead of thirteen. Therefore, each qualified shareholder may submit a total of thirteen director nominations (eight for non-independent directors and five for independent directors). The amended sentence states, “Each qualified shareholder can submit one proposal and up to five independent director and eight non-independent director nominations”.

Other than the filing of the corrected press release attached as Exhibit 99.1, this Form 6-K/A does not, and does not purport to, revise, update or amend the information presented in the March 27 Report or reflect any events that have occurred after the filing of the March 27 Report. The filing of this amended Form 6-K/A should not be understood to mean that any statements contained herein are true or complete as of any date subsequent to March 27, 2013.
