EXCLUSIVE Taiwan's Terry Gou, TSMC reach initial agreements for BioNTech vacci

TAIPEI, July 2 (Reuters) - Terry Gou, the billionaire founder of Taiwan's Foxc
onn (2317.TW), along with TSMC (2330.TW) reached initial agreements to each bu
y 5 million doses each of BioNTech SE's (22UAy.DE) COVID-19 vaccine on Friday,
three sources with knowledge of the situation told Reuters.
Taiwan's government has tried for months to buy the shots directly from German
y's BioNTech and has blamed China, which claims the self-ruled island as its o
wn territory, for nixing a deal the two sides were due to sign earlier this ye
ar. China denies the accusations.
Last month, facing public pressure about the slow pace of Taiwan's inoculation
programme, the government agreed to allow Gou and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufa
cturing Co to negotiate on its behalf for the vaccines, which would be donated
to Taiwan's government for distribution. read more
Gou and TSMC reached the agreements with a subsidiary of Shanghai Fosun Pharma
ceutical Group Co Ltd (600196.SS), which has a contract with BioNTech to sell
the COVID-19 vaccines in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, the sources said.
The deal is not final and will still take some time to close the deal, one sou
rce said.
It includes "related legal documents" needed to finalise the deal but does not
specify a delivery date, as global demand for vaccines continues to outstrip
supply, this person said.
The vaccines will be shipped directly to Taiwan from the German manufacturer,
the person added.
Taiwan's government has said any BioNTech vaccines should be "produced in the
original factory with the original packaging" and be directly delivered to Tai
wan.
Fosun did not respond to a request for comment.
Foxconn, a major Apple Inc (AAPL.O) supplier, said it was continuing to "work
hard" on the vaccine purchase plan. It did not elaborate.
TSMC said in a brief emailed statement it was still a work in progress and "no
further information is available at this time".
BioNTech declined to comment.
Taiwan Health Minister Chen Shih-chung said on Saturday the government was ver
y thankful for the hard work Foxconn and TSMC were putting into getting the sh
ots but that buying vaccines was "quite difficult" and the process challenging
.
Another source said the German government, which has said it was trying to hel
p Taiwan obtain the BioNTech vaccines, had been trying to speed up the talks.
"The German government doesn't want to leave the impression that they didn't s
ell vaccines to Taiwan due to the Chinese pressure, so it has been pushing the
company to speed up its talks with Taiwan," the source said, referring to Bio
NTech.
The German Foreign Ministry declined to immediately comment.
Both sources said although global supplies are tight, Fosun, as an exclusive d
ealer for the vaccine in China and Taiwan, is able to secure higher priority f
or the vaccine distribution.
Only around 9% of Taiwan's 23.5 million people have received at least one of t
he two-dose COVID-19 vaccine regimen, a need made more urgent by a spike in do
mestic infections on the island, though numbers remain relatively small.
