附件一

各位股東、女士、先生

首先感謝各位股東、女士、先生過去一年對本公司的支持與鼓勵,謹將本公 司 2017 年度的營業實績報告如下

一、2017年度營業結果

(一)營業計劃實施成果

回顧 2017 年度,本公司合併營收為 1,747,987 仟元,較去年 1,586,120 仟元增加 10.21 %, 合併稅後淨利 166,172 仟元, 較去年 286.543 仟元減少 42.01%, 主要為 2017 年度開始銷售中峰生產之醋片, 推升營收成長;惟醋酐成本上揚使營業成本增加,中峰設廠投入生產 醋片使研發費用增加及受人民幣兌美元匯率波動影響產生匯兌損失, 致整體稅後淨利較去年下降。

因此,本公司將繼續保持成本優勢前提下,開發更優的產品規格, 同時也整合上游進一步降低成本,除維持既有客戶外,並持續開發利 基市場。整體而言,本公司對未來營運成長維持審慎樂觀。

(二)財務收支及獲利能力分析
項目 2016年度 2017年度
財務 負債占資產比率 14.67 43.58
結構
(%)
長期資金占不動產、廠房及設備比率 431.90 229.49
資產報酬率(%) 16.55 8.62
權益報酬率(%) 20.84 12.11
獲利 稅前利益占實收資本比率(%) 68.62 36.27
能力 純益率(%) 18.07 9.51
每股盈餘(元) 6.17 3.70

2017年度負債佔資產比率上升至 43.58%,主要因發行可轉換公司 倩,使得負債比率較去年增加,尚屬合理。

長期資金占不動產、廠房及設備比率 2017 年度較 2016 年度降低, 主要因中峰化學設廠增加設備所致。

2017年度整體獲利能力較 2016年度下降,主要因中峰化學設廠購 置機器設備、醋酐成本上揚、投入研發費用及受人民幣兌美元匯率波動 影響產生匯兌損失,使得獲利能力指標下降,惟 2017年度獲利能力仍 維持有一定水準。

(三)研究發展狀況

本集團之研發方向除了針對目前產品持續開發改進製程,強化本身 生產製造實力外,設計不同的製程條件,除使用現有產品的經驗外,並 自行開發相關的材料參數、設備參數及工藝參數。開發新產品必須擁有 一定技術和經驗的積累,才能達到新產品高良率的量產水準,進入此行 業的技術門檻很高。本公司經過多年的努力,整體技術成熟度已相當高, 相關產品已獲國際30多個國家的廠家認可。

二、2018年度營業計畫概要

(一)經營方針

1.鎖定新興國家等較具成長力的利基市場,使營收能穩定成長。

  • 2.除一般規格產品外,同時專注於二醋酸纖維絲束特殊規格產品開發, 在粗單纖及超低單纖系列,來滿足世界各地不同客戶之規格需求。
  • 3.加強現有人員在職訓練,並強化本身研發能力,亦與外部資源合作, 包括科研院校等相關機構,積極研發以醋酸纖維材料應用產品之策略 規劃,以期快速累積經驗及開發新技術,確保及提升研發競爭力。
  • 4.提供完善的技術服務,根據客戶的產品需要,量身定做提供小量多樣 品質穩定的產品需求。

5.持續尋找上下游垂直整合機會、降低成本、擴大營收規模。

  • (二)重要之產銷政策
  • 1.透過參與國際知名展覽等方式,以及過去與新興經濟體國家往來之經 驗,或透過代理商之服務,開發非洲、中東、南美、東南亞等利基市 場。
  • 2.具備生產一般規格產品能力外,同時專注於特殊規格產品開發,滿足 世界各地不同客戶規格需求。

3.長期規劃以醋酸纖維拓展至其他應用產品領域,擴大產品應用面。 三、未來公司發展策略

(一)產品發展方面

醋酸纖維絲束由於生產技術的高端性,至今只有世界幾個大型製造商, 一直是個供不應求的市場,本公司持續深耕於醋酸纖維技術領域之研 究,強化產品競爭力,以提升市佔率。

(二)行銷策略方面

維繫本身既有客戶,也藉由參加國外展覽積極尋找潛在客戶,並開發 具潛力之新興國家市場,以期拓展業務,並挑選關係良好優質客戶為 合作夥伴,與之共同成長。

(三)生產策略方面

本公司每年投入相當研究發展計畫,除開發新產品規格外,亦著重製 程的改善、效率的提升及自動化生產比例的提高,同時整合上游,使 得單位生產成本降低。

四、受到外部競爭環境、法規環境及總體經營環境之影響

本公司在醋酸纖維素及絲束擁有自主技術能力,可進入各國與當地獨佔 或寡佔之菸草公司合作,且近幾年積極拓展外銷業務,已成功打進利基市 場領域;產品發展除既有規格外,同時全面加强特殊規格之研發以符合更 多不同客戶需求, 加強生產及品質控管能力, 售後服務, 提升市場佔有率。

最後,謹代表全體董事向公司所有股東、女士、先生及員工同仁,長久 以來對公司發展所作的貢獻與努力,致上最誠摯的謝意,並感謝大家對我們 的鼓勵與支持,使公司得以持續茁壯。

在此,謹祝各位,

身體健康,萬事如意。

會計師查核報告

Iinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd. 公鑒:

查核意見

Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司民國 106年及 105年 12月 31 日之合併資產負債表, 暨民國 106 年及 105 年 1 月 1 日至 12 月 31 日之合 併綜合損益表、合併權益變動表、合併現金流量表以及合併財務報表附註(包 括重大會計政策彙總),業經本會計師查核竣事。

依本會計師之意見,上開合併財務報表在所有重大方面係依照證券發行 人財務報告編製準則及經金融監督管理委員會認可並發布生效之國際財務報 導準則、國際會計準則、解釋及解釋公告編製,足以允當表達Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司民國 106年及 105年 31月 12日之合併財務狀 況, 暨民國106年及105年1月1日至12月31日之合併財務績效及合併現 金流量。

查核意見之基礎

本會計師係依照會計師查核簽證財務報表規則及一般公認審計準則執行 查核工作。本會計師於該等準則下之責任將於會計師查核合併財務報表之責 任段進一步說明。本會計師所隸屬事務所受獨立性規範之人員已依會計師職 業道德規範,與 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司保持超然獨立, 並履行該規範之其他責任。本會計師相信已取得足夠及適切之查核證據,以 作為表示查核意見之基礎。

關鍵查核事項

關鍵查核事項係指依本會計師之專業判斷,對 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司民國106年度合併財務報表之查核最為重要之事項。該等

事項已於查核合併財務報表整體及形成查核意見之過程中予以因應,本會計 師並不對該等事項單獨表示意見。

兹對 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd. 及其子公司民國 106年度合併財務 報表之關鍵查核事項敘明如下:

存貨減損之估計判斷

Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司之產品可能因市場需求減 少 而 導 致 存 貨 呆 滯 , 由 於 存 貨 須 以 成 本 與 淨 變 現 價 值 孰 低 者 計 價 , 其 中 評 估 存 貨 淨 變 現 價 值 涉 及 重 大 判 斷 , 且 存 貨 帳 面 金 額 對 整 體 合 併 報 告 係 屬 重 大 , 因此本會計師於本年度查核時將存貨減損之估計判斷列為關鍵查核事項,相 關重大會計估計及判斷說明如合併財務報表附註四及五所揭露。

本會計師對於上述關鍵查核事項已執行主要查核程序如下:

    1. 瞭解並測試與存貨評價相關之主要內部控制之設計及執行有效性。
    1. 評估年底存貨庫齡狀況,並抽核驗證存貨庫齡之正確性。
    1. 取得存貨成本與淨變現價值孰低比較表並與總帳調節,並以抽核方式確 認淨變現價值之正確。
    1. 確認備抵存貨跌價是否皆依公司政策提列。
    1. 驗算其計算之存貨跌價損失是否正確,評估備抵存貨跌價損失帳列金額 是否適足。

營業收入之發生

Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司之營業收入主要來自外銷 出 口, 依 國 際 會 計 準 則 第 18 號 對 於 收 入 認 列 政 策 提 供 之 相 關 指 引 , 企 業 需 於 將 所 有 權 之 重 大 風 險 及 報 酬 移 轉 予 買 方 時 , 始 符 合 收 入 認 列 條 件 , 請 參 閲 合 併財務報表附註四。因此本會計師於年度查核時將營業收入之發生列為關鍵 查核事項。

本會計師對於上述關鍵查核事項已執行主要查核程序如下:

    1. 瞭解並測試與銷貨收入認列之發生相關之主要內部控制之設計及執行有 效性。
    1. 自銷貨收入中選取樣本執行細項證實測試,查核交易憑證及期後收款狀 況等,以確認銷貨收入之真實性。

管理階層與治理單位對合併財務報表之責任

管理階層之責任係依照證券發行人財務報告編製準則及經金融監督管理 委員會認可並發布生效之國際財務報導準則、國際會計準則、解釋及解釋公 告編製允當表達之合併財務報表,且維持與合併財務報表編製有關之必要內 部控制,以確保合併財務報表未存有導因於舞弊或錯誤之重大不實表達。

於編製合併財務報表時,管理階層之責任亦包括評估 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司繼續經營之能力、相關事項之揭露,以及繼續 經營會計基礎之採用,除非管理階層意圖清算 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司或停止營業,或除清算或停業外別無實際可行之其他方案。

linan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司之治理單位 (含審計委員 會)負有監督財務報導流程之責任。

會計師查核合併財務報表之責任

本會計師查核合併財務報表之目的,係對合併財務報表整體是否存有導 因於 舞 弊 或 錯 誤 之 重 大 不 實 表 達 取 得 合 理 確 信 , 並 出 具 查 核 報 告 。 合 理 確 信 係高度確信,惟依照一般公認審計準則執行之查核工作無法保證必能偵出合 併財務報表存有之重大不實表達。不實表達可能導因於舞弊或錯誤。如不實 表 達 之 個 別 金 額 或 彙 總 數 可 合 理 預 期 將 影 響 合 併 財 務 報 表 使 用 者 所 作 之 經 濟 決策,則被認為具有重大性。

本會計師依照一般公認審計準則查核時,運用專業判斷並保持專業上之 懷疑。本會計師亦執行下列工作:

    1. 辨認並評估合併財務報表導因於舞弊或錯誤之重大不實表達風險;對所 評估之風險設計及執行適當之因應對策;並取得足夠及適切之查核證據 以作為查核意見之基礎。因舞弊可能涉及共謀、偽造、故意遺漏、不實 聲明或踰越內部控制,故未偵出導因於舞弊之重大不實表達之風險高於 導因於錯誤者。
    1. 對與查核攸關之內部控制取得必要之瞭解,以設計當時情況下適當之查 核程序,惟其目的非對 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司內部 控制之有效性表示意見。
    1. 評估管理階層所採用會計政策之適當性,及其所作會計估計與相關揭露 之合理性。
    1. 依據所取得之查核證據,對管理階層採用繼續經營會計基礎之適當性, 以及使 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司繼續經營之能力可 能產生重大疑慮之事件或情況是否存在重大不確定性,作出結論。本會 計師若認為該等事件或情況存在重大不確定性,則須於查核報告中提醒 合併財務報表使用者注意合併財務報表之相關揭露,或於該等揭露係屬 不適當時修正查核意見。本會計師之結論係以截至查核報告日所取得之 查核證據為基礎。惟未來事件或情況可能導致 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司不再具有繼續經營之能力。
    1. 評估合併財務報表(包括相關附註)之整體表達、結構及內容,以及合 併財務報表是否允當表達相關交易及事件。
    1. 對於 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司內組成個體之財務資 訊取得足夠及適切之查核證據,以對合併財務報表表示意見。本會計師 負責集團查核案件之指導、監督及執行,並負責形成 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司查核意見。

本 會 計 師 與 治 理 單 位 溝 通 之 事 項 , 包 括 所 規 劃 之 查 核 範 圍 及 時 間 , 以 及 重大查核發現 (包括於查核過程中所辨認之內部控制顯著缺失)。

本會計師亦向治理單位提供本會計師所隸屬事務所受獨立性規範之人員 已 遵 循 會 計 師 職 業 道 德 規 範 中 有 關 獨 立 性 之 聲 明 , 並 與 治 理 單 位 溝 通 所 有 可 能 被 認 為 會 影 響 會 計 師 獨 立 性 之 關 係 及 其 他 事 項 ( 包 括 相 關 防 護 措 施 )。

本會計師從與治理單位溝通之事項中,決定對 Jinan Acetate Chemical Co., Ltd.及其子公司民國106年度合併財務報表查核之關鍵查核事項。本會計 師 於 查 核 報 告 中 敘 明 該 等 事 項 , 除 非 法 令 不 允 許 公 開 揭 露 特 定 事 項 , 或 在 極 罕 見 情 況 下 , 本 會 計 師 決 定 不 於 查 核 報 告 中 溝 通 特 定 事 項 , 因 可 合 理 預 期 此 溝通所產生之負面影響大於所增進之公眾利益。

  • 2.1 Subject to the Applicable Law, Articles and any resolution of the Members to the contrary, and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing shares or class of shares, the Board shall have the power to issue any unissued shares of the Company on such terms and conditions as it may determine and any shares or class of shares (including the issue or grant of options, warrants and other rights, renounceable or otherwise in respect of shares) may be issued with such preferred, deferred or other special rights or such restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital, or otherwise as the Company may by resolution of the Members prescribe, provided that no share shall be issued at a discount except in accordance with the Law and the Applicable Public Company Rules.
  • 2.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Articles, the issue of new shares of the Company shall be approved by a majority of the Directors at a meeting attended by two-thirds or more of the total number of the Directors. The issue of new shares shall at all times be subject to the sufficiency of the authorized capital of the Company.
  • 2.3 After the application for trading of the shares on the ESM or listing in Taiwan has been approved by the TPEx or TSE, as applicable, where the Company increases its issued share capital by issuing new shares for cash consideration in the ROC, the Company shall allocate 10% of the total amount of the new shares to be issued, for offering in the ROC to the public ("Public Offering Portion") unless it is not necessary or appropriate, as determined by the FSC or the TPEx for the Company to conduct the aforementioned public offering or otherwise provided by Applicable Law. However, if a percentage higher than the aforementioned 10% is resolved by the Members in a general meeting by Ordinary Resolution to be offered, the percentage determined by such resolution shall prevail and shares corresponding to such percentage shall be reserved as Public Offering Portion. The Company may also reserve 10% to 15% of such new shares for subscription by the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the "Employee Subscription Portion"). The Company may prohibit such employees from transferring the shares so subscribed within a certain period; provided, however, that such a period cannot be more than two years.
  • 2.4 Unless otherwise resolved by the Members in general meeting by Ordinary Resolution, where the Company increases its issued share capital by issuing new shares for cash consideration pursuant to Article 2.3 hereof, after allocation of the Public Offering Portion, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any percentage in excess of 10% of the total amount of the new shares to be issued for offering in the ROC to the public as resolved by the Members in general meeting be offered pursuant to Article 2.3, and the Employee Subscription Portion pursuant to Article 2.3 hereof, the Company shall make a public announcement and notify each Member that he is entitled to exercise a pre-emptive right to purchase his pro rata portion of the remaining new shares, to be issued in the capital increase for cash consideration. The Company shall state in such announcement and notices to the Members the procedures for exercising such pre-emptive rights and that if any Member fails to purchase his pro rata portion of such remaining newly-issued shares within the prescribed period, such Member shall be deemed to forfeit his pre-emptive right to purchase such newly-issued shares. Where an exercise of the pre-emptive right may result in fractional entitlement of a Member, the entitlements (including fractional entitlements) of two or more Members may be combined to jointly subscribe for one or more whole new shares in the name of a single Member, subject to compliance with such directions and terms and conditions as determined by the Board and the Applicable Public Company Rules. If the total number of the new shares to be issued has

not been fully subscribed for by the Members within the prescribed period, the Company may consolidate such shares into the public offering tranche or offer any un-subscribed new shares to a specific person or persons in such manner as is consistent with the Applicable Public Company Rules.

  • 2.5 Subject to the Applicable Law, the Company may issue new shares with restricted rights ("Restricted Shares") to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries with the sanction of a Supermajority Resolution provided that Article 2.3 hereof shall not apply in respect of the issue of such shares. For so long as the shares are traded on the ESM or listed on the TPEx or the TSE in Taiwan, the terms of issue of Restricted Shares, including but not limited to the number of Restricted Shares so issued, issue price of Restricted Shares and other related matters shall be in accordance with the Applicable Public Company Rules.
  • 2.6 The pre-emptive right of Members under Article 2.4 shall not apply in the event that new shares are issued due to the following reasons or for the following purposes:
  • (a) in connection with a Merger, spin-off, or pursuant to any reorganization of the Company;
  • (b) in connection with meeting the Company's obligations under share subscription warrants and/or options, including those rendered in Articles 2.8 and 2.11 hereof;

  • (d) in connection with meeting the Company's obligations under convertible bonds or corporate bonds vested with rights to acquire shares;
  • (e) in connection with meeting the Company's obligations under Preferred Shares vested with rights to acquire shares; or
  • (f) in connection with Private Placement of the securities issued by the Company.
  • 2.7 The Company shall not issue any unpaid shares or partly paid-up shares.
  • 2.8 Notwithstanding Article 2.5 hereof, the Company may, upon approval by a majority of the Directors at a meeting attended by two-thirds or more of the total number of the Directors, adopt one or more employee incentive programmes and may issue shares or options, warrants or other similar instruments, to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and for the avoidance of doubt, resolution of the Members is not required.
  • 2.9 Options, warrants or other similar instruments issued in accordance with Article 2.8 above are not transferable save by inheritance.
  • 2.10 Directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for Restricted Shares pursuant to Article 2.5 hereof or the incentive programmes pursuant to Article 2.8 hereof, provided that directors who are also employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries may subscribe for Restricted Shares or participate in an incentive programme in their capacity as an employee and not as a director of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
  • 2.11 The Company may enter into agreements with employees of the Company and/or the employees of its Subsidiaries in relation to the incentive programme approved pursuant to Article 2.8 above, whereby employees may subscribe for, within a specific period, a specific number of the shares. The terms and conditions of such agreements shall be no less restrictive

on the relevant employee than the terms specified in the applicable incentive programme.

2.12 Without prejudice to any provisions in this Article 2, where shares are issued by the Company for purposes of changing the currency denomination of share capital of the Company as approved by the members at a general meeting (the "Redenomination"), to the extent that the percentage of shareholding interest of the members of the Company will not be affected and the members are not required to pay any amounts for any new shares issued in connection with the Redenomination in excess of the proceeds of any share buy back of their existing shares which are subject to the Redenomination, no further approval or consent of the Member or Members shall be required.

Upon approval by Members by way of an Ordinary Resolution to repurchase and cancel shares of the Company, the repurchase price may be paid in any manner authorized by the Law, including in cash or in kind, provided that where any repurchase price is to be paid in kind, the monetary equivalent value of such payment in kind shall be (a) assessed by an ROC certified public accountant before being submitted by the Board to the Members for approval as part of the Ordinary Resolution authorising the repurchase and cancellation of shares of the Company; and (b) agreed to individually by each Member who will be receiving the repurchase price in kind. Without prejudice to this Article 3.5., in the case of a repurchase of shares by the Company for purposes of changing the currency denomination of share capital of the Company, consent of the holders of the shares subject to such repurchase shall not be required.

3.6 In the event that the Company proposes to purchases any share traded on the ESM or listed on

the TPEx or the TSE in Taiwan pursuant to the preceding Article, the resolution of the Board approving such proposal and the implementation thereof should be reported to the Members in the next general meeting in accordance with the Applicable Public Company Rules.

  • 3.8 Subject to Article 3.5 and the Applicable Public Company Rules, the redemption or repurchase price may be paid in any manner permissible under the Law as determined by the Board.
  • 3.9 A delay in payment of the redemption price shall not affect the redemption but, in the case of a delay of more than thirty days, interest shall be paid for the period from the due date until actual payment at a rate which the Directors, after due enquiry, estimate to be representative of the rates being offered by banks holding "A" licenses (as defined in the Banks and Trust Companies Law (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) in the Cayman Islands for thirty day deposits in the same currency.
  • 3.10 The Directors may exercise as they think fit the powers conferred on the Company by Section 37(5) of the Law (payment out of capital) but only if and to the extent that the redemption could not otherwise be made (or not without making a fresh issue of shares for this purpose).

Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Board may also resolve, either generally or in any particular case, upon request by either the transferor or transferee, to accept mechanically executed transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an instrument of transfer shall not be required for a repurchase of shares by the Company for purposes of changing the currency of share capital of the Company.
  • 9.3 The Board may refuse to recognise any instrument of transfer in respect of shares in certificated form unless it is accompanied by the certificate in respect of the shares to which it relates and by such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by such deceased Member with other persons. Subject to the provisions of Section 39 of the Law, for the purpose of this Article, legal personal representative means the executor or administrator of a deceased Member or such other person as the Board may, in its absolute discretion, decide as being properly authorised to deal with the shares of a deceased Member.

  • 10.3 On the presentation of the evidence as the Board may require to prove the title of the transferor, the transferee shall be registered as a Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall, in any case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration or refuse registration as stipulated in Article 9.3 hereof as it would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before such Member's death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

  • (e) cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.
  • 11.2 The Board may settle as it considers expedient any difficulty which arises in relation to any consolidation and division under the last preceding Article and in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing may issue certificates in respect of fractions of shares or arrange for the sale of the shares representing fractions and the distribution of the new proceeds of sale (after deduction of the expenses of such sale) in due proportion amongst the Members who would have been entitled to the fractions, and for this purpose the Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares representing fractions to their purchaser or resolve that such net proceeds be paid to the Company for the Company's benefit.

13. Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares

If, at any time, the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound-up, be varied with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any modification or alteration in the Articles is prejudicial to the preferential rights of any class of shares, such modification or alteration shall be adopted by a Special Resolution and shall also be adopted by a Special Resolution passed at a separate meeting of Members of that class of shares. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis.

DIVIDENDS AND CAPITALISATION

14. Dividends

14.1 The Board may, subject to approval by the Members by way of Ordinary Resolution or, in the case of Article 12.3(a), Supermajority Resolution and subject to the Articles and any direction of the Company in general meeting, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members in proportion to the number of shares held by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or shares.

  • 14.2 Subject to the Applicable Law, no dividends or other distribution shall be paid except out of profits of the Company, realised or unrealised, out of share premium account or any reserve, fund or account as otherwise permitted by the Law. Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any shares, all dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the number of the shares that a Member holds. If any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that share shall rank for dividends accordingly.
  • 14.3 Subject to the Law and this Article and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any shares, the Company may distribute profits in accordance with a proposal for profits distribution approved by the Board and sanctioned by the Members by an Ordinary Resolution, in annual general meetings.
  • 14.4 Upon the final settlement of the Company in the current year, if there is "surplus profit" (as defined below), the Company shall set aside no less than one per cent (1%) as compensation to employees ("Employees' Compensations") and Employees' Compensations may be distributed to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, who meet certain qualifications. The Company shall, from the surplus profit, set aside no more than three per cent (3%) thereof as remuneration for the Directors ("Directors' Remuneration"). The distribution proposals in respect of Employees' Compensation and Directors' Remuneration shall be approved by a majority of the Directors at a meeting attended by two-thirds or more of the total number of the Directors and submitted to the shareholders' meeting for report. However, if the Company has accumulated losses, the Company shall reserve an amount thereof for making up the losses before proceeding with the above-mentioned distributions and allocation. The "surplus profit" referred to above means the net profit before tax of the Company and for the avoidance of doubt, such amount is before any payment of compensation to employees and remuneration for the Directors.
  • 14.5 The Company is in the growth stage. The Board shall prepare the dividend proposal by taking into account the profit of the year, overall development, financial plans, capital requirements, the industry and the Company's prospects and perspectives and so on and submit the proposal for the Members' approval. For so long as the shares are traded on the ESM or listed on the TPEx or the TSE in Taiwan, if there are profits, in making the profits distribution recommendation, the Board shall set aside out of the profits of the Company for each financial year: (i) a reserve for payment of tax for the relevant financial year; (ii) an amount to offset losses incurred in previous years; (iii) ten per cent (10%) as reserve ("Statutory Reserve"); and (iv) a special surplus reserve as required by the applicable securities authority of the ROC under the Applicable Public Company Rules.

The remaining balance, if any, together with a part or whole of accumulated undistributed profits in the previous years, subject to the Law and the Applicable Public Company Rules and after having considered the financial, business and operational factors of the Company, may be distributed as dividends to Members in proportion to their shareholdings in the amount of no less than ten per cent (10%) of profit after tax of the relevant year. In the event that dividends are distributed to Members in a combination of share dividend and cash dividend, cash dividend shall be no less than ten per cent (10%) of the total dividends.

  • 14.6 The Board shall fix any date as the record date for determining the Members entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution.
  • 14.7 For the purpose of determining Members entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distributions, the Directors may provide that the Register of Members be closed for transfers for five (5) days before the relevant record date or such other period consistent with the Applicable Public Company Rules subject to compliance with the Law.

14.8 No unpaid dividend shall bear interest as against the Company.

15. Reserve and Power to Set Aside Profits

  • 15.1 The Board may, before declaring a dividend, set aside out of the surplus or profits of the Company, such sum as it thinks proper as a reserve to be used to meet contingencies or for meeting the deficiencies for implementing dividend distribution plans or for any other purpose to which those funds may be properly applied. Pending application, such sums may be in the absolute discretion of the Board either be employed in the business of the Company or invested in such investment as the Board may from time to time think fit, and need not be kept separate from other assets of the Company. The Board may also, without placing the same to reserve, carry forward any profit which it decides not to distribute.
  • 15.2 Subject to any direction from the Company in general meeting, the Board may on behalf of the Company exercise all the powers and options conferred on the Company by the Law in regard to the reserve. Subject to compliance with the Applicable Law and these Articles, the Board may on behalf of the Company set off accumulated losses against credits standing in the reserve and make distributions out of the reserve.

16. Method of Payment
