I. Letter to Shareholders

First of all, on behalf of the management team of ACES Electronics Co., Ltd., I would like to express our sincere gratitude for all shareholders for the unwavering support and concern for the company over the years. Looking back on the past year, while the global economy has gradually recovered, persistent geopolitical shocks, high-interest-rate policies, and technology-trade conflicts have driven supply chains toward regionalization. However, the global economic landscape and electronics industry have undergone significant shifts, propelled by AI application, 5G communication transmission driving server demand, and electric vehicles (EVs) emerging as a new economic growth engine.

In response to changes in the industry, the Company has gradually shifted our focus from traditional product design and manufacturing to joint design and development of systems and modules with customers in the development layout of connectors and connecting lines; at the same time, by integrating the technical capabilities of the group, we aim to acquire more growth momentum in the future. This transformation will have a significant impact on our future industrial competitiveness.

Looking ahead, the global macro economy is predicted to remain fluctuating drastically this year (2025). The Company will pay close attention to changes in the industrial environment, face the challenges prudently, and continue to enhance market competitiveness in the future. The Company anticipates that strengthening product R&D, optimizing production processes, and expanding market reach will enhance profitability growth, thereby fostering a positive direction for operational development.

In terms of implementation results of the business plan

In terms of consolidated financial statements for 2024, the consolidated net operating revenue amounted to NT$9.771 billion, consolidated operating net profit was NT$0.278 billion, consolidated pre-tax net profit was NT$0.387 billion, and consolidated net profit for the current period was NT$0.344 billion (attributable to the net profit of the parent company's shareholders), translating to basic earnings per share after tax of NT$2.51.

In terms of research and development

In response to market demand trends, in terms of connector development, the Company continues to develop high-end connectors with fine-pitch, low-profile, high-frequency, and high-power. In terms of cable development, the Company is focusing on high-speed transmission cables for server internal cables and data center external cables, and chassis for data centers, auxiliary driving systems for automotive electronics, intelligent cabins, car networking, etc., as well as the assemblies of professional cables with high current and high power for industrial use. The Company has rapid development capabilities in product R&D and design, which shortens product development time, and can provide customized connectors and cable products according to customer needs; meanwhile, with the support of the overseas marketing network, the Company promotes new designs and new products to large international customers to meet their comprehensive needs and continue to achieve high growth goals.

This year's business plan, business policy, and future outlook

The Company has always adhered to the concept of "knowledge, vision, value, attitude, commitment, and execution", operates with integrity, and strives to improve the operating efficiency of the group. In order to meet the long-term strategic development needs and promote the maximum value and efficiency of each business entity, and focus on overseas markets and the mainland market. The Company's overseas sales bases cover the United States, Japan, Germany, Philippines, Vietnam, and Singapore. Deeply cultivating regional industrial development and enhancing penetration rates to target customers, the Company is strategically positioned to leverage the expanding demand in AI, high-performance computing, cloud services, and the new energy vehicle sectors. Through continuous technological innovation and localized market cultivation, the Company aims to strengthen product competitiveness and expand market share, and to provide connectors, cables, electromagnetic shielding covers, internal mechanical components, external casings, and complete assembly and testing services needed for consumer electronics, automotive electronics, cloud servers, industrial control industries, etc., then to provide higher value-added products and services and increase growth momentum.

In terms of production and manufacturing, the R&D Headquarters Building of the Company has been completed in the first quarter of 2025 for long-term development, expanding the production capacity of Taiwan's product line in the future and enhance the group's competitiveness. The Company has also established strong production capacity in Asia with manufacturing factories located in Taiwan, mainland China (Kunshan, Dongguan, Zhuhai), Philippine and Vietnam. We will continue to implement the process lean plan and optimize the cost structure by increasing the proportion of automated production, and strive to reach the goal of becoming the preferred supplier for international customers.

Looking forward to this year (2025), we are still facing a market environment full of variables and fierce competition. The Company will continue to adopt a pragmatic attitude, face future challenges prudently, maintain our existing competitive advantages, and strive to achieve this year's operational growth goals. We hope to gradually become a leading brand in the connectivity industry in the future.

Finally, we hope that all shareholders can continue to give encouragement and guidance to the management team by upholding the love and support for the Company in the future.

Wishing you all good health and all the best.

Chairman: Yuan Wan-Ting General Manager: Huang Tien-Fu Accounting Supervisor: Lee Shu-Yun

Our current board of directors consists of 7 members, including 3 independent directors, with expertise in various professional fields such as industry, finance, accounting, and technology. Collectively, they possess abilities in operational judgment, business management, crisis management, industry knowledge, international market perspective, leadership, and decision-making.

All of our current board members are citizens of the Republic of China, and independent directors account for 43% of the board. The age distribution includes 2 directors in the 51-60 age range, 4 directors in the 61-70 age range, and 1 director in the 71-80 age range. There are 6 male and one female directors. The Company currently does not meet the one-third requirement for female directors on the Board of Directors. However, during the re-election of directors at the 2025 Shareholders’ Meeting, three of the nominated director candidates are female. If all three female candidates are successfully elected, the proportion of female directors on the Company’s Board of Directors will reach one-third, thereby achieving board gender diversity.

  • b. Independence of the board of directors

Our current board of directors has 7 members, including 3 independent directors. 2 directors are relatives within the second degree of kinship. However, among the independent directors or between the independent directors and the directors, there are no spouses or relatives within the second degree of kinship, which complies with the provisions of Article 26-3, paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

  • D. Comparison and explanation of the analysis of the ratio of total remuneration (paid to the Directors, Supervisors, General Manager, and Deputy General Managers of the Company by the Company and all the companies in the consolidated statements in the last two years) to net profit after tax and the correlation among the remuneration payment policy, standards, and combinations, the procedures for setting the remuneration, the business performance and future risks

  • (A)Analysis of the ratio of the total remuneration paid by the Company and Companies in the consolidated financial report to its Directors, Supervisors, General Manager, and Deputy General Managers in the last two years to net profit after tax on parent company only or consolidated financial reports is as follows:

  • (B) The Company's policy, standards, and composition of remuneration, the establishment of remuneration procedures, and the correlation with operational performance and future risks.

  • Director remuneration of the Company is governed by Article 24 of the Company's Articles of Association, which allows for remuneration of directors within the limit of not exceeding 3% of the profit for the year. The procedure for determining remuneration follows the assessment of the performance of the company's directors. This assessment considers not only the overall operational performance of the company, industry future operating risks, and development trends but also factors such as individual attendance at board meetings, personal performance achievement rates, and contributions to the Company's performance. It also takes into account industry standards to provide reasonable compensation and nomination for reelection.

Article 24 of the Company's Articles of Association sets a profit threshold of not less than 1% for employee remuneration for the year. The remuneration of company managers is evaluated based on the scope of responsibilities within the Company and their contributions to operational performance. The "Performance Appraisal Management Measures" of the company are used as a reference for evaluation. In addition to considering the overall operational performance of the company and the results of individual performance evaluations, factors such as managers' target achievement rates, profitability, operational efficiency, and contribution levels are considered to calculate their remuneration proportion, aiming to provide reasonable compensation.

The Company will review the remuneration system for directors and managers in a timely manner based on actual operating conditions and relevant laws and regulations. The reasonableness of related compensation is subject to review by the Compensation Committee to balance the Company's sustainable operation and risk management.

evaluation of the Board of Directors, which considers both the
overall operating performance of the company and the future

business risks and trends in the industry. Additionally, it also takes

into account the individual director's actual attendance rate,
personal performance achievement rate, and contribution to the

company's performance, and takes into account industry standards

and gives reasonable compensation and nomination for re-election

accordingly.

follows:
1. Reviewing the personal qualifications of the auditor.

2. The auditor issues a statement of independence.
3. Evaluating relevant independence standards based on the Code

of Ethics for Professional Accountants No. 10 " Independence in
Auditing and Review Services." The main independence

standards evaluated include whether the auditor is a director,
shareholder, or other related parties of the Company, confirming

that there is no financial interest or business relationship with
stakeholders. In addition, the rotation of auditors is also carried
out in compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

reference auditor were evaluated based on 5 dimensions and 13
indicators,

independence, supervision, and innovation. The auditor and the

audit firm were evaluated on their auditing experience, training

hours, turnover rate, professional support, quality control review,
and quality control support capabilities. The results showed that

both the auditor's and the audit firm's capabilities were comparable

to or better than those of their peers. In recent years, they have also

been promoting digital innovation tools in auditing to enhance
efficiency and quality.

Company complies with the independence and competence
requirements, and the matter has been submitted for review and

articles of association, as well as to be informed of major financial

transactions such as the disposal of assets. We also provide

shareholders with ample opportunities to ask questions or make

carried out in accordance with these procedures. Furthermore, we
have explained the restrictions on the competitive activities of our

directors in the shareholders’ meeting.
(4) The Company purchases liability insurance for all directors on a

regular basis every year. This is done to reduce and distribute the
risks associated with errors or omissions committed by directors,

which could potentially cause significant damage to the company

and its shareholders. We periodically review the content of the

insurance policy to ensure that the coverage and compensation
amount are sufficient and meet our needs. The most recent report

on the board of directors was made after the purchase of

insurance.
(5) Succession Planning for Board Members and Key Management

Personnel
The purpose of succession planning is to ensure that the company

has a pool of talented individuals to succeed in key management
positions, thereby maintaining depth in the management bench

and meeting the long-term human resource needs of the

organization. In planning for succession, the Company evaluates

candidates based not only on their professional skills and
execution capabilities, but also on their fit with the company's

culture, work values, and personal qualities. A candidate with

cross-functional experience is preferred to ensure a broad

perspective on the business.
1. Succession Planning and Implementation for Board Members:

The Company has a Board of Directors consisting of 7

members (including 3 independent directors) who possess

expertise in management, finance, and R&D. The future
composition and member background of the board of directors

will continue to follow the current structure. We have a strong

network of connections and will also seek suitable talent from
external sources to assume positions as needed. In addition,
independent directors are required by law to have work

affairs. Therefore, the direction of future succession planning

will focus on professionals with expertise in each field.
2. Succession Planning and Implementation for Key Management

Personnel:
The Company's succession plan is currently in progress. The

general managers of the Company and its subsidiaries are the
successors to the general manager and chairman. Through

managing the Company, they cultivate their succession

capabilities. The group's various company executives are all

professional staff who fully endorse the company's business

philosophy, understand its vision, share its values, and have a
certain amount of seniority within the group. Their

performance, professional expertise, and business acumen have

all been recognized. Some of the designated successors are

already members of the board of directors of various companies
within the group, and they are expected to learn about the

operations of the board of directors in the coming years. The

goal is for them to take over leadership positions in 8 to 10

years. The Company's succession plan is not limited to senior
management, but will also be extended to lower levels to ensure

that each level has qualified successors. The Company will also

cultivate successors for departmental senior managers through

its proxy system, job rotation, and functional training. The
selection of suitable successors will be evaluated through on-

the-job learning, self-study, job experience, and the Company's

existing performance appraisal system. The retention rate of key

talents will be used as an important performance indicator for
the management department on a monthly basis.

In addition, the Company conducts job rotations and

promotions for key talents based on future development

strategies, investment plans, technology roadmaps, employee
performance evaluations, and retirement situations, to

effectively transfer professional experiences and cultivate

suitable management talent for succession.
(6) The Company provides at least one training session per year to

our directors, managers, and employees on the prevention of

insider trading in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

The company provides education and promotion on the prevention
of insider trading at least once a year to directors, managers, and

employees. The education and training also cover new employees

gas emissions in 2025 are, with a yearly 1% saving and

















reduction target of 3%, which will be achieved through

the following aspects, then finally advancing toward net-

zero emissions by 2050:
(a) Air conditioning and lighting:

i. Setting the temperature of the workplace and
office at 26-28℃, with designated personnel

responsible for turning on and turning off the air

conditioning.
ii. Lighting switches are subdivided and controlled

by area. Time-controlled switches are used to

manage lighting in public areas. All factory

lighting fixtures have been replaced with LED
lighting to reduce electricity waste.

(b) Electricity usage for air compressors:

i. Regular inspections are conducted to check for air

leaks in the company's air ducts and repairs are
made promptly to avoid increasing the load on the

air compressors due to air leaks, thus achieving

energy savings in the use of air compressors.

ii. The company has fully replaced its air
compressors with variable frequency drives.

(c) Optimizing the fuel consumption of official vehicles

and making advance arrangements for carpooling.

(d) Waste sorting is implemented within the factory, and
all waste is processed by qualified vendors with clear

records of the disposal process.

Total water usage in 2024: 22,822 cubic meters

Based on the statistics for the two fiscal years, the water
usage in 2024 increased by 1,012 cubic meters compared

to 2023. The primary reason is that an increase in

production capacity led to a concurrent increase in water
usage. (For more details, please refer to the ACES’s ESG

F.
If the company has its sustainability guidelines based on the "Sustainable Development Best Practice Principles for TWSE/TPEx Listed Companies," please describe how these guidelines differ from
the company's operation and the established guidelines.

The Company's Board of Directors passed a revision on November 10th, 2022, to rename the "Corporate Social Responsibility Best Practice Principles" to "Sustainable Development Best Practice

Principles" and made amendments to some of its articles. This serves as our company's guiding principle for promoting CSR, and there are no major differences in its operation and the spirit and

principlesgoverned bythe "Sustainable Development Best Practice Principles for TWSE/TPEx Listed Companies."
G. Other important information that helps to understand the implementation of sustainable development:

(A) Recognizing the importance of environmental protection measures, our company has taken the following actions to promote environmental and occupational health and safety:

a. Promotion of Restrictions of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations.
The RoHS came into effect on July 1st, 2006, and prohibits the sale of products containing six hazardous substances, including lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated

biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers, to the EU. On July 22nd, 2019, four phthalates (DEHP, BBP, DBP, DIBP) were added to the list. Our company actively promotes green

production and procurement and has achieved compliance with hazardous substance-free products in our production process. We have also received recognition from our major customers for

meeting their requirements.
b. Resource recycling and waste reduction plan

The Company actively promotes the full and effective utilization of resources to reduce waste and production costs. In addition to improving processes and operational management to reduce

scrap material generation, we also develop and select non-polluting and low-polluting processes to minimize waste. Moreover, metal waste generated during production is calculated and
recycled through an effective management program. The recycled waste metal is then sold to waste recycling businesses, reducing the wastage of resources.
(B) The Company upholds the philosophy of taking from society and giving back to society, continuously contributing to society through participation in public welfare activities and fulfilling our

social responsibilities. Our achievements are as follows:

a. Based on the desire to let children in remote areas of Taiwan experience the joy of reading, the Company has been donating mobile book trucks to local governments with remote areas under
their jurisdiction in the name of outstanding employees since 2018. This effort aims to reduce the disparity in reading resources between urban and rural areas in Taiwan. In fiscal year 2024,

another 5 mobile book trucks were donated to Shuili Township, Nantou County, & Wufeng Township, Hsinchu County & Governments of Yilan County, Nantou County, and Taoyuan City

with a total amount NT$4.1 million, hoping to inspire further public interest in philanthropy and enhance the reading capabilities of children in remote areas.

1. To strengthen the sustainability competence of the highest governance level, the board members
have been participating in continuous education training on corporate sustainability and climate
risk. In 2024, five directors completed a total of 24 hours in courses related to sustainable finance
and climate change issues. Additionally, the sustainability development committee regularly
(quarterly) reports the progress and promotion of climate-related issues to the board, with a total
of four sustainability progress reports presented in 2024.
2. The Company conducted climate-related risk and opportunity identification under the TCFD
framework, identifying 8 climate risks (3 high-priority risks, 5 medium-priority risks) and 5
opportunities (4 high-impact, 1 medium-impact).
Risk ImpactsShort-term: Policy risks (e.g., electricity tariff hikes, energy consumption
thresholds for major users) and physical risks (e.g., power outages, frequent natural disasters) may
increase operational costs. Medium-term: Client carbon reduction requirements and supply chain
disruption risks could affect collaborative orders, leading to declining operational performance.
Long-term: Rising temperatures and reputational risks may exert pressure on operational costs
and market competitiveness.
Opportunity ImpactsShort-term: Green finance and government subsidy programs can reduce
sustainable transition costs. Medium-term: Low-carbon products and energy transition initiatives
may boost order volumes. Long-term: Green buildings and production resource efficiency
improvements are expected to reduce carbon emissions and energy/resource costs.
StrategyThe Company plans to enhance energy management, implement smart manufacturing,
and adopt a phased energy transition with carbon reduction pathways to ensure financial stability
and market competitiveness.
3. Financial Impacts of Extreme Climate EventsShort-term: Typhoons (e.g., hypothetical
Typhoon Capricorn 2024) may lead to increased operational costs due to work stoppages and
overtime compensation. Medium-term: Frequent natural disasters elevate risks of production
capacity reduction and order losses. Long-term: Rising temperatures will increase air-
conditioning electricity costs.
Financial Impacts of Transition ActionsShort-term: Operational costs will rise due to the
implementation of an ISO 50001-certified energy management system (consultation fees:

~NT$450,000) and the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). Medium-term: Plans include installing renewable energy equipment and backup power facilities. Long-term: Energy storage systems will enhance energy efficiency. 4.The Company integrates climate risk identification, assessment, and management into its overall risk management system. First, climate risks (e.g., extreme weather events, policy/regulatory changes) and opportunities (e.g., low-carbon demand, green finance) are identified through the TCFD framework. Their impacts on business, strategy, and finances are assessed across short- – – term (1 2 years), medium-term (3 5 years), and Long-term (5+ years). Potential financial impacts (e.g., power outage/rationing losses) are quantified. Next, mitigation measures are prioritized (high/moderate risk levels) and assigned to responsible departments (Sustainability Office, Group Procurement, General Affairs & Engineering Department, etc.). Metrics and targets are set (e.g., ISO 50001 Energy Management System implementation). The management process is embedded in enterprise risk management, with regular audits, stakeholder communication (e.g., CDP disclosure), and this ensures synchronized management of climate and operational risks, enhancing decision-making quality and sustainable competitiveness. 5. Physical Risks Under the latest IPCC AR6 framework, Ace Electronics conducts scenario analysis by integrating Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), covering factors such as economic growth, globalization, technological development, and land use. This assesses the physical impacts of climate change, generating five scenarios: SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP2-7.0, and SSP5-8.5. The Company selects two scenarios for physical risk analysis: SSP1-1.9 (very low emissions, targeting net-zero by 2050), and SSP5-8.5 (very high emissions, no climate policy controls). This enables the Company to evaluate climate impacts from best- to worst-case scenarios and optimize adaptation measures. Transition Risks Based on the three scenarios proposed in IEA WEO 2021: Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS), Announced Pledges Scenario (APS), and Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario (NZE). The Company focuses on STEPS and NZE for transition risk analysis. STEPS reflects development trajectories under current policies and associated challenges. NZE aligns with Taiwan s government goal of "2050 Net-Zero Emissions." Additionally, the Company also have after-mentioned items as references: FSC s "Sustainable Development Roadmap for Listed Companies", "Sustainable Development Action Plan for Listed Companies", and Environmental Protection Administration s "Climate Change Response Act". The Company simulates potential impacts of climate policy transitions and local regulations on operations, informing strategy development.

  • (3) Company's dividend policy and implementation thereof

  • A. Dividend policy as stipulated in the Company's articles of incorporation If the Company has profits in the annual financial statements, it shall first pay the taxes and make up for previous losses. 10% of the profits shall be appropriated as a legal reserve, except when the legal reserve has reached the amount of the paidin capital. In addition, the company may set up special reserves according to its operating needs and legal regulations. If there are still profits remaining after setting aside reserves, the board of directors shall propose a profit distribution plan to the shareholders' meeting for approval, together with any undistributed profits from the previous year.

The above profit distribution plan authorizes the board of directors, with the attendance of two-thirds or more of the directors and the resolution of a majority of the attending directors, to distribute all or part of the dividends, statutory reserves, and capital reserves in the form of cash payments, in accordance with Article 241 of the Company Act, and report to the shareholders' meeting.

The distribution of dividends by the company is based on the principle of stable dividends in accordance with the profit situation of the current year. Based on the company's future funding needs and long-term financial planning, the cash dividends distributed from the above shareholder dividends shall not be less than 20% of the total dividends, but the shareholders' meeting may adjust it based on the actual profit situation and future financial planning of the current year.

  • B. Proposed dividend distribution for this shareholders' meeting

In accordance with Article 25 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the Board of Directors is authorized to resolve to distribute all or part of the distributable dividends and bonuses in cash, and to report to the shareholders' meeting.

65

The Company's Board of Directors resolved on March 14, 2025 to approve the profit distribution for 2024, distributing a cash dividend of NT$111,533,813, with NT$0.75 per share, rounded down to the nearest dollar. Any fractional amounts less than NT$1 shall be recorded as other income of the Company. If the number of outstanding shares changes thereafter, resulting in a change to the dividend ratio, the Chairman is authorized to make adjustments accordingly. The Chairman is also authorized to determine the ex-dividend date, payment date, and other related matters for the cash dividend.

  • C. Explanation of expected significant changes to the dividend policy: Not applicable.

  • (4) The effect upon business performance and earnings per share of any stock dividend distribution proposed or adopted at the most recent shareholders' meeting: This shareholders’ meeting did not distribute any stock dividends, therefore it does not apply.

  • (5) Profit-sharing compensation of employees, directors, and supervisors

  • A. The percentages or ranges with respect to employee, director, and supervisor compensation, as set forth in the company's articles of incorporation: If the Company generates profits in any fiscal year (meaning pre-tax profits before deducting employee compensation and director remuneration), it shall allocate no less than 1% for employee compensation and no more than 3% for director remuneration. However, if the Company has accumulated losses, it shall reserve the amount needed to make up for the losses in advance.

    • Employee compensation as mentioned above may be paid in stock or cash. If the Board of Directors decides to issue stock as employee compensation, it may also decide to issue new shares or repurchase shares at the same time. Director remuneration may only be paid in cash.

    • The above two items shall be decided by the Board of Directors and reported to the shareholders' meeting.

  • B. Basis for estimating employee and director compensation amounts in the current period, calculation basis for employee compensation distributed in shares, and accounting treatment for differences between actual distributed amounts and estimated amounts:

    • (1)Basis for Estimating Employee and Director Compensation Amounts in the Current Period:

      • If the Company has profits in the fiscal year (profits refer to pre-tax profits before deducting employee and director compensation), it shall allocate not less than 1% as employee compensation and not more than 3% as director compensation. However, if the Company has accumulated losses, the amount required to offset such losses shall be reserved in advance.
    • (2)Calculation Basis for Employee Compensation Distributed in Shares: No employee compensation was distributed in shares during the current period; therefore, this section is not applicable.

    • (3)Accounting treatment for differences between actual distributed amounts and estimated amounts: differences shall be recorded as profit or loss in the following fiscal year.

  • C. Information on any approval by the board of directors of the distribution of compensation:

    • (A) The actual distribution of employee, director, and supervisor compensation for

66

the previous fiscal year (with an indication of the number of shares, monetary amount, and stock price, of the shares distributed), and, if there is any discrepancy between the actual distribution and the recognized employee, director, or supervisor compensation, additionally the discrepancy, cause, and how it is treated.

The company's board of directors resolved on March 14, 2025, approving the calculation of employee compensation for the 2024 fiscal year in the amount of NT$12,091,769, and director and supervisor compensation for NT$8,992,016. All compensation was paid in cash, and the estimated and actual amounts distributed were the same.

(B) The amount of any employee profit-sharing compensation distributed in stocks, and the size of that amount as a percentage of the sum of the after-tax net income stated in the parent company only financial reports or individual financial reports for the current period and total employee profit-sharing compensation: No compensation distributed in stock, so not applicable.

  • D. The actual distribution of employee, director, and supervisor compensation for the previous fiscal year (with an indication of the number of shares, monetary amount, and stock price, of the shares distributed), and, if there is any discrepancy between the actual distribution and the recognized employee, director, or supervisor compensation, additionally the discrepancy, cause, and how it is treated: In the fiscal year 2023, the Company incurred a pre-tax loss.

of issuance.
1. Possible dilution of equity
As of April 30, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Company's issued and
outstanding convertible bonds, which are the domestic third unsecured convertible
bonds, was NT$765,400 thousand at a conversion price of NT$51. Assuming that
all bondholders convert their bonds at the current conversion price, a total of
15,007,843 common shares of the Company (NTD 765,400,000/NTD 51) will be
issued, resulting in a dilution of 8.92% based on the currently outstanding shares
of 153,311,721.

  • (C) Various development trends of the product

a. Product miniaturization

In recent years, with the trend of "lightweight, thin, short, and small" in application products, connectors generally require fine pitch and low profile. Therefore, both metal stamping and plastic injection molding technologies have precision requirements. Specifically, the specifications of connectors are reflected in finer pin pitch and lower connector height. To meet the requirements of product miniaturization, in addition to increasing the precision of the original molds and fixtures, connectors must also have outstanding product design, analysis, and functional simulation capabilities, such as stress analysis, mold flow analysis, and precision testing equipment, to achieve the quality required by customers. According to data from IEK, in the future, connectors for Consumer electronics products will move towards two major technological directions: small size and low height.

b. High-frequency high-speed connectors and cables

The latest version of the PCIe standard is PCIe Gen5.0, with a bandwidth and transfer rate of 128GB/s and 32GT/s per channel (lane), which can meet the needs of 400 GbE networks in new data centers, provide higher efficiency for data transmission applications of different peripheral devices, and achieve the best balance between cost and bandwidth. Therefore, achieving high-speed requirements can no longer be achieved by pursuing precision in molds and fixtures as in the past. High-speed and highfrequency signal analysis and simulation, as well as the number of actual testing items, will determine the key factors of signal quality. Therefore, high-frequency measuring equipment is necessary to perform precise high-frequency analysis.

The development of high-frequency connectors combines stamping, injection molding, assembly, mechanical structure design, mechanical analysis, high-frequency electrical characteristic analysis, and measurement as a comprehensive technology. According to the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), as the system moves towards high frequency, the impact of connectors on the electrical characteristics and functions of the system increases. The high-frequency design of connectors must consider the coordination between mechanical and electrical aspects, and the correct direction must also be grasped in the coordination. In testing methods, the effects generated by high frequency must also be considered. Therefore, the technology will cover structural electrical parameter analysis, component equivalent circuit design, component characteristic testing, and test board design. For the connector industry, these technologies not only have the significance of improvement but also indicate the vertical integration of technology.

The specifications of high-frequency connectors usually include impedance, crosstalk, or propagation delay, and their indicator sizes vary according to different specifications. Therefore, in the design consideration, it is necessary to consider the time-domain and frequency-domain conversion, the basic characteristics and high-frequency response of electronic components, the basic theory of transmission lines and impedance matching design, the generation and prevention of crosstalk and loss, and parameter and Smith chart analysis. Taking electromagnetic interference as an example, as the signal frequency carried by connectors becomes higher, the impact on signal integrity also becomes greater. Therefore, comprehensive improvement in electromagnetic interference prevention technology is required for the connector industry (such as cable ends). It is also important to understand the causes and solutions of common electromagnetic interference in system ends such as PCBs, such as the causes and prevention of electromagnetic interference between wires and grounding, shielding principles, shielding efficiency evaluation and shielding element design, causes and

83

prevention of ESD, causes and prevention of radiation in digital circuits, and common techniques used in electromagnetic interference measurement.

High-frequency connectors can be used for high-end products such as RAMBUS highspeed input/output (IEEE 1394/USB), high-speed network applications (CAT-8), and more. CAT-8 is the latest IEEE copper Ethernet cable standard that encloses each pair of twisted pairs in aluminum foil, almost eliminating crosstalk interference and achieving higher data transmission speeds. CAT-8 Ethernet cables are the ideal choice for inter-switch communication in data centers and server rooms, providing maximum transmission speed and stability.

In recent years, various peripheral devices have experienced rapid development, and many cloud services (SaaS, IaaS, PaaS) have also seen significant growth. This has led to an increase in demand for high-frequency, high-speed, high-power, and high-current connectors. In order to achieve high-frequency and high-speed transmission goals, there is a need for greater precision and accuracy in the requirements for the control chips, electrical connectors, cable wires, and circuit boards used in high-speed transmission paths. High-quality structures that can process signals will increase the product pricing advantage and promote the overall technological advancement of the electronics industry, becoming an inevitable trend.

  • a. Promotion of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS) and REACH regulations.

  • The ROHS officially took effect on July 1, 2006, and products sold to the EU cannot contain six hazardous substances, including lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). The Company actively promotes green production and procurement, implements it in the production process, and has already complied with the requirements of major customers for products that are free of hazardous substances, receiving recognition from them.

  • b. Resource recycling and waste reduction plan

  • The Company actively utilizes resources effectively to reduce waste and lower production costs. It improves process and operational management to reduce the generation of scrap materials. On the other hand, it develops and selects pollutionfree and low-pollution processes to reduce waste. The metal waste generated during production is quantified and recycled through an effective management system. The recovered waste metal is sold to waste recyclers, thereby reducing resource waste.

  • c. Occupational hazard prevention plan

  • To achieve the goal of zero harm, the Company schedules an occupational hazard prevention program every year to promote knowledge of occupational hazard prevention among colleagues. Through an audit system, execution deficiencies are identified. Additionally, meetings are held annually to review and improve the environmental and safety deficiencies according to the plan. Through the PDCA approach, the Company reduces the risk of harm in business units year by year, ultimately achieving the goal of zero accidents.

108

  - d. Implementation of automated inspection

  - Employees may face physical injuries when dealing with different working environments, processes, operations, and tasks due to unsafe operations, equipment, or management factors. Therefore, the Company actively establishes standard procedures for production operations and reduces the probability of workrelated injuries. Through the implementation of these measures, potential hazards can be identified, and improvements can be made to effectively control the risks.
  • (F) Agreements between labor and management and the situation of various measures to safeguard employee rights and interests

    • The labor-management relationship in the Company is harmonious. In addition to regularly holding labor-management meetings and social responsibility meetings, the Company also communicates with employees through employee meetings and other means to maintain a good relationship between labor and management. The Company is committed to promoting workplace gender equality and raising awareness among employees about the concept and purpose of maternal protection in the workplace. The Company has established facilities and equipment for maternal protection, such as lactation rooms, throughout the factory. The Company also arranges for occupational health specialists to provide on-site health services and organize workplace health promotion and hazard prevention activities regularly.
  • B. Recent annual and year-to-date losses due to labor disputes (including violations of labor standards as determined by labor inspections, which should indicate the date of the penalty, penalty number, violated legal provisions, violation content, and penalty content), as well as estimated amounts and measures to address current and potential future losses, up to the date of publication of the annual report:

  • The Company and the labor union agree to follow the labor regulations promulgated by the government, and relevant management procedures have been established since the employee's date of hire. As of the date of publication of the annual report, the Company has not experienced any significant labor disputes or losses.

The Company had already implemented off-site backup mechanisms for major systems, and will now more actively and comprehensively enhance network security levels to protect data security and integrity. Additionally, the Company will evaluate advanced server defense mechanisms, plan zero-trust network security mechanisms, strengthen OT network security, and actively promote information security awareness to establish information security defenses.

Source of information: Parent company only financial statements are audited by accountants.

  • (A)Impact of interest rate changes on the Company's profit and loss, and future response measures.

The Company's interest expenses for the years 2024 and 2023 were NTD103,543 thousand and NTD108,725 thousand, respectively, which accounted for a very small ratio of net operating revenue for each period. As such, there was no significant adverse impact on the Company's profit and loss. In line with the Company's strategy of continuing business growth and development towards the capital market, except for significant capital expenditures and long-term investments financed by medium- to long-term funds, short-term operating cash flow remains the main financial adjustment used. Therefore, interest rate fluctuations are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's profit and loss.

  • (B) Impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's profit and loss, and future response measures

  • The Company's business is primarily export-oriented, and the pricing of its sales transactions is mostly based on the US dollar. However, as some of the Company's purchases are also priced in US dollars, there is a partial offsetting effect between purchases and sales. Nevertheless, exchange rate fluctuations still have a certain impact on the Company's overall operations.

The Company's exchange gains and losses for 2024 and 2023 were NTD108,491 thousand and NTD31,627 thousand, respectively, which accounted for 1.11% and 0.37% of the net operating revenue for each period. As such, they had a certain impact on the Company's profit and loss. Additionally, the Company has established foreign currency deposit accounts with major banks to handle incoming funds from customers. The Company will decide whether to convert the funds into local currency or deposit them into foreign currency accounts based on its actual fund requirements and exchange rate fluctuations. Furthermore, through its export and raw material import transactions, natural hedging effects can be generated from foreign currency receivables and payables, which can help mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's operations.

117

To strengthen the management of foreign exchange positions and exchange losses and gains, the Company utilizes the characteristics of natural hedging by using foreign currency accounts receivable to pay off foreign currency accounts payable generated from purchases. At the same time, when the business unit quotes prices to customers, they should consider the future trend of exchange rates and the factors that affect exchange rates, and provide a more conservative quote to minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, our company has signed foreign exchange hedging contracts with banks, which can take hedging measures at any time to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our Company's operations.

  • (C) Impact of inflation on the Company's profit and loss and future response measures In recent years, there has been a gradual upward trend in inflation. However, the Company has not yet experienced any significant immediate impact from inflation. The Company is also closely monitoring fluctuations in raw material market prices and maintaining good interaction with suppliers and customers to avoid any significant impact from inflation in the future.

  • B. The main reasons for engaging in high-risk, high-leverage investments, lending funds to others, endorsing guarantees, and trading in derivative products, as well as the policies, profits or losses, and future response measures

  • The Company has established the " Acquisition or Disposal of Asset Processing Procedures," "Endorsement and Guarantee Operations Procedures," and "Funds Lending Operations Procedures," which were approved by the shareholders' meeting as the basis for the Company to carry out relevant transactions. The following is an explanation of the above items:

  • (A) The main reasons for engaging in high-risk, high-leverage investments, lending funds to others, endorsing guarantees, and trading in derivative products, as well as the policies, profits or losses, and future response measures

    • The Company primarily focuses on the development of its core business and has not ventured into investments in other high-risk industries. The Company has always maintained a stable and financially sound operation and has not engaged in high-risk and high-leverage investments.
  • (B) Policy, main reasons for profit or loss in lending funds to others, and future strategies: As of the printing date of the annual report for the most recent fiscal year, the Company has not engaged in any fund lending activities, which have no significant adverse effects on the Company's financial condition.

These fund lending activities mainly support the subsidiary's expansion of its operational business. All of the aforementioned transactions were approved by the subsidiary's board of directors in accordance with regulations and announced and reported publicly. The balance of fund lending by the subsidiary did not exceed the limit set by the "Operating Procedures for Fund Lending to Others" of the subsidiary, and therefore, had no significant adverse effects on the subsidiary's financial condition.
  • (C) Policy, main reasons, and future response measures on endorsing guarantees for profit or loss: As of the printing date of our annual report for the most recent fiscal year, the parties to whom we provided endorsements and guarantees were our subsidiary companies, ACES PRECISION CORPORATION, and ACES Precision Machinery Co., Ltd., all of which indirectly held 100% of voting shares in our company. The purpose of endorsing these guarantees was to assist our subsidiary companies in meeting their funding requirements for business expansion and obtaining financing from banks. All of these transactions were approved by our board of directors in accordance with regulations and publicly announced and reported. The balance of endorsement and guarantee did not exceed the limit set by the Company's "Endorsement and Guarantee Operating Procedures" and therefore had no significant adverse effects on our financial condition.

As for our subsidiary, as of the printing date of our annual report for the most recent fiscal year, the parties to whom the subsidiary provided endorsements and guarantees were companies that directly or indirectly held 100% of the subsidiary's voting shares. The purpose of endorsing these guarantees was to assist the subsidiary's subsidiary companies in meeting their funding requirements for business expansion and obtaining financing from banks.

118

condition.

  • (D) Policy, main reasons for engaging in derivative trading for profit or loss, and future response measures:

If the Company and its subsidiaries engage in derivative trading, they will strictly abide by the "Acquisition or Disposal of Assets Processing Procedures" regulations and regularly report on derivative trading to the Board of Directors. At the same time, they will also disclose derivative trading in accordance with regulations.

Note: The projected R&D expenses refer to the estimated amount to be invested in the research and development project. However, the actual recognition of "R&D expenses and fixed assets" will depend on the progress of the research project and the nature of the investments made, before it can be confirmed.

  • D. The impact of significant domestic and international policy and legal changes on the Company's financial operations and the corresponding measures taken

The Company has not been financially or operationally affected by significant domestic or international policy and legal changes in the recent years up to the printing date of the annual report. The Company operates in compliance with relevant domestic and international laws and regulations and constantly monitors changes in domestic and international policies and laws. It is anticipated that the Company's financial and business operations will not be significantly adversely affected by future important domestic or international policy and legal changes.

119

  • E. The impact of technological advancements (including information security risks) and industry changes on the Company's financial operations, as well as the corresponding measures to address them

  • The Company always keeps track of technological changes in the industry and timely launches products that align with market trends. We stay informed about market trends and evaluate their impact on the Company's operations. However, there have been no significant technological changes in recent years that have had a significant impact on the company's financial and business operations.

  • F. The impact of corporate image change on crisis management and corresponding measures

  • The Company has always adhered to the principles of integrity and sound management. Since its establishment, we have actively strengthened internal management to enhance the quality and efficiency of our operations. The Company's corporate image has been consistently positive, and there have been no significant changes in the corporate image that would lead to a crisis.

  • G. Expected benefits, potential risks, and mitigation measures of mergers and acquisitions As of the date of printing of the annual report, the Company has no plans for any acquisitions.

  • H. After the official launch of the Taiwan Precision Center in the first quarter of 2012, the Company accelerates the development of key technologies and products required in the fine-pitch, low profile, high-frequency, and high-power advanced connectors, automotive electronics, , cloud servers, industrial control industry, and network communication markets. It will gradually generate benefits in terms of production quality and technological accumulation. At the same time, it will also be responsible for the development of precision molds and mold components, serving as the Group's mold coordination center, effectively utilizing and allocating resources for the production of mold components used by various manufacturing units for molding and stamping, aiming to reduce costs and maintain quality stability. For highly automated processes and high-end niche products, production will be planned in the Precision Center. In addition, for long-term operational development and to master core technologies in the Taiwan headquarters, the Company will also leverage Taiwan's abundant technical human resources to cultivate excellent product development and precision mold design and manufacturing personnel, building a complete technical team. In Q1 2025, the Company started the construction of the Precision Center R&D Headquarters Building in Taiwan, to enhance the long-term competitiveness and profitability of the Group. The Company has already executed the issuance of the third unsecured convertible corporate bonds in the domestic market in the third quarter of 2024, providing medium to longterm funds to cope with the Company's operations without causing significant impact.

  • I. The risks and corresponding measures associated with concentrated procurement or sales

  • (A) Assessment of concentrated procurement risks and corresponding measures The Company has two or more fixed qualified suppliers for each of its major raw materials to ensure the quality and stability of the supply, thereby mitigating the risk of over-reliance on a single source of supply.

  • (B) Assessment of concentrated sales risk and corresponding measures In the past two fiscal years and the first quarter of 2024, the proportion of sales from customers of the Company to net revenue did not exceed 10%. Due to the recent vertical integration of the Company's industry and the increase in revenue, the proportion of net sales from U Company has increased in the Company's net revenue. U Company is one of the world's top five notebook computer contract manufacturers and is a major customer of the Company, which is reasonable.

120

In the future, the Company will continue to expand sales to domestic and international customers and actively develop connectors and related products in other fields. This should help reduce the risk associated with reliance on products in a single field.

  • J. Directors, supervisors, or major shareholders holding more than ten percent of the shares, the impact, risks, and response measures of significant transfers or changes in ownership on the Company

    • The Company has not experienced significant transfers or changes in equity during the recent fiscal year and up to the date of printing of the annual report.
  • K. The impact, risks, and mitigation measures of changes in ownership on the company's operations

    • The Company's directors and supervisors have long been involved in the Company's operations, and the management team has a strong sense of mission towards the company, considering the company's management as a lifelong career aspiration. In addition, employees identify with the company's development direction and are willing to hold the company's stocks for the long term, sharing in the Company's growth. Therefore, the Company should have no risk of a change in management control.
  • L. Litigation or non-litigation events Significant litigation, non-litigation, or administrative disputes involving the Company, its directors, supervisors, general manager, substantial shareholders with a stake exceeding 10%, and subsidiary companies, which have been finally judged or are currently pending and may have a significant impact on shareholder equity or securities prices, should disclose the disputed facts, the amount in dispute, the commencement date of the litigation, the main parties involved, and the status of the proceedings as of the date of the annual report publication.

    1. As of the date of the annual report publication, there are no litigation, non-litigation, or administrative disputes that have been finally judged or are currently pending, which could have a significant impact on shareholder equity or securities prices.

    2. For lawsuits, non-litigation, or administrative disputes involving the Company's directors, supervisors, general manager, substantial shareholders with a stake exceeding 10%, and subsidiary companies, where the judgments have been finalized or are currently pending as of the date of the annual report publication, and the outcomes may have a significant impact on shareholder equity or securities prices: None.

  • M. Other significant risks and corresponding measures

    • The Company has not identified any other significant risk factors in its recent annual report up until the date of printing.
  • (7) Other important matters: None.
