The
stock exchange did not elaborate.
It said that along with Hon Hai, which goes by the trade name
Foxconn, trading will also be halted in shares of affiliate
Foxconn Technology Co <2354.TW>.
A trading halt is customary for listed companies in Taiwan ahead
of announcements which may affect trading.
Hon Hai has said it is due to hold a regularly scheduled board
meeting on Wednesday.
Japan's Sharp Corp <6753.T> and Taiwan's Foxconn are set to sign
a merger deal this week after repeated delays, with the two
sides set to agree on a smaller bailout than originally planned
for the troubled Japanese electronics maker, two sources
familiar with the talks said on Saturday.
