II. Diversification and Independence of Board
(I) Diversification of Board
Policy
- The Company's board of directors has formulated the "Corporate Governance Code of Practice", and in Chapter 3 "Strengthening the Functions of the Board of Directors", there is a policy of diversification. The nomination and selection of Board Members comply with articles of incorporation that the Company adopts the candidate nomination system. Aside from evaluating each candidate's qualifications including education and experience, the Company also refers to stakeholders' opinions as well as comply with "Rules for Director and Supervisor Elections" and "Corporate Governance Principles" in order to ensure the diversity and independency of Board Members. The composition of the board shall have the necessary knowledge, skill, and experience to perform their duties. To achieve the ideal goal of corporate governance, the board of directors shall possess the following abilities:
(1) Making operational judgment skills, (2) Perform accounting and financial analysis skills, (3) Conduct management administration skills. (Including operation and management of subsidiaries), (4) Conduct crisis management skills, (5) Industrial knowledge, (6) International market perspective, (7) Leadership, (8) Executive skills, (9) Risk management knowledge and ability.
The composition of Board members shall be determined by taking diversity into consideration and formulating an appropriate approach on diversity based on the Company's business operations, operating dynamics, and development needs. It is advisable that the policy include, without being limited to, the following two general standards:
- Basic requirements and values: age, gender, identity, and more. The Company pays attention to gender equality in the composition of board members, and aims to increase at least one female director in the future.
- Professional knowledge and skills: Professional background, professional skills, industry experience, and more.
Goal
To enhance the overall knowledge of the highest governance body on economic, environmental, and social issues and to continuously strengthen the management capabilities of the Board of Directors, the Group organizes two in-house director training programs each year and invites external lecturers to deliver courses. In response to the Company's development strategies and changes in the internal and external environment, the Company also continuously identifies talents from the management team or distinguished industry professionals and, in accordance with the above policies and principles, invites suitable candidates to join the Board of Directors, with the aim of strengthening the balance and overall effectiveness of the Board.
Achievement
In 2025, the Group organized in-house director training programs and invited directors to participate in courses entitled "Labor Rights Trends and Corporate Practices in Global Supply Chains" and "A Major Overhaul of Financial Statements! A Comprehensive Guide to IFRS 18 'Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements,'" with the aim of continuously enhancing directors' professional knowledge and strengthening their understanding of changes and trends in the external
environment.
As of the publication date of this Annual Report, the Board of Directors of the Company consists of eight members. Male directors (including independent directors) account for 75% of the Board, while female directors (including independent directors) account for 25%. The age distribution of all directors (including independent directors) is as follows: directors aged 51–59 account for 25%, those aged 61–70 account for 62.5%, and those aged 71–80 account for 12.5%. Based on a review of the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors, more than half of the directors possess expertise in corporate management, diversified industry knowledge, and technology and information, and are committed to environmental sustainability and contributions to public welfare. In addition, Independent Director Shu-Hsing Li has expertise in accounting, management, and finance; Independent Director Zhong-Rui Chen has professional capabilities in financial investment, industry research, and risk management; and Independent Directors Ming-Der Hsieh and Cheng-Jung Chiang have backgrounds in the information technology industry, environmental protection industry, and academia, respectively. The diverse experience and capabilities of the Board members enable them to provide professional advice from different perspectives, which is highly beneficial to the Company’s overall business operations.
The implementation of diversification of the board of directors of the Company in 2025 was as follows
| Title | Name | Gender | Diverse Industry and Professional Skills | Term of office of independent director | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business Management | Industry information | Venture capital investment | ESG | Finance and Accounting | Risk Management | Information Technology | Academic Research | ||||
| Chairperson | Wen-Fang Huang | Female | V | V | V | ||||||
| Vice Chairperson | Chi-Hong Chen | Male | V | V | V | V | V | ||||
| Director | Han-Chou Huang | Male | V | V | V | ||||||
| Director | Chiu-Chin Hung | Female | V | V | V | V | |||||
| Independent Director | Shu-Hsing Li | Male | V | V | V | V | V | V | Three terms or less | ||
| Independent Director | Ming-Der Hsieh | Male | V | V | V | Three terms or less | |||||
| Independent Director | Cheng-Jung Chiang | Male | V | V | V | V | Three terms or less | ||||
| Independent Director | Zhong-Rui Chen | Male | V | V | V | Three terms or less |
Note: According to the Q&A Guidelines of the "Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation Operation Directions for Compliance with the Establishment of Board of Directors by TWSE Listed Companies and the Board's Exercise of Powers" in calculating the consecutive term of service of an independent director, if the director did not serve more than half of a term in any given term, such term may be excluded from the calculation.
The specific management objectives and achievement of the Company's diversification policy are as follows
| Category | The specific management objectives | Achievement |
|---|---|---|
| Board Composition | The Board of Directors consists of 8 members, including 4 general directors and 4 independent directors. | Achieved |
| Gender | At least 2 female directors. | Achieved |
| Tenure | The tenure of independent directors shall not exceed three terms. | Achieved |
| Concurrent Positions | ● Directors who are also managers of the Company shall not exceed one-third of the Board. | |
| ● Independent directors shall not concurrently serve as independent directors of more than three other companies. | ||
| ● Independent directors shall not concurrently serve as directors of more than five other companies. | Achieved | |
| Diversity of Professional Expertise | Including expertise in technology and R&D, industrial innovation, finance and accounting, financial investment, and corporate sustainability. | Achieved |
Reasons and Planned Measures for the Board of Directors Not Meeting the One-Third Gender Representation Requirement:
- Primary Reasons:
In the fields of research and development, engineering, and technical management within the technology and networking communications industries, the proportion of female professionals has historically been relatively low. As a result, the pool of female candidates with relevant industry expertise, practical experience, and qualifications that meet the functional requirements of board directors remains limited. Taking into account the need to maintain the Board's
professional structure, continuity of industry knowledge, and governance stability, the current representation of female directors has not yet reached one-third of the total number of Board seats.
- Planned Measures:
The Company will continue to adhere to its Board diversity policy and progressively enhance gender diversity. In future board elections, the Company will appropriately evaluate female candidates with relevant industry experience and professional capabilities for inclusion in the list of director nominees, with the aim of increasing the proportion of female directors and steadily advancing toward the Company’s diversity and governance objectives.
(II) Independence of the Board of Directors
Policy
The Company has approved the "Director Election Rules" through a resolution of the shareholders' meeting. The rules are in accordance with the candidate nomination system procedures formulated in Article 192-1 of the Company Act. Shareholders elect directors from a list of candidate directors, and there is no spouse or second-degree relative relationship among the directors. In addition, the Company has approved a resolution to establish the "Board of Directors Meeting Rules". When a director has a conflict of interest with himself or the legal person he represents in the meeting, he shall explain the important details of his conflict of interest at the board meeting. If there is a risk of harming the interests of the company, he shall not participate in the discussion and voting, and shall recuse himself from the discussion and voting, and shall not exercise the voting rights on behalf of other directors.
Goal
To maintain the independence of the Board of Directors, the Company has set a target of four independent directors. In addition, the Company has established an Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee under the Board of Directors, both of which are composed entirely of independent directors. Through professional division of responsibilities and an independent and objective standpoint, these committees assist the Board in fully performing its strategic guidance and decision-making functions in areas such as corporate governance, risk management, and sustainable operations.
Achievement
As of the publication date of this Annual Report, the Company's Board of Directors consists of 8 directors, of which 7 are non-employees of the Company, accounting for 87.5%, and 4 are independent directors, accounting for 50%. There are no spouses or relatives within the second degree of kinship between independent directors or between independent directors and directors, which complies with the provisions of Article 26-3, paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Securities and Exchange Act. All directors do not have any of the circumstances listed in Article 30 of the Company Act, and all independent directors comply with the relevant regulations on independent directors set by the Financial Supervisory Commission. For information regarding the implementation of recusal procedures for board matters involving conflicts of interest in 2025, please refer to Chapter 2, "Corporate Governance," Section 3, "Implementation Status of Corporate Governance," of this Annual Report.

- Compensation policies, standards and combinations, procedures for determining compensation, and their relevance to business performance and future risks. In order to regularly evaluate the remuneration of directors and managers, the evaluation results of the Company's "Measures for Performance Evaluation of the Board of Directors" and the "Measures for Performance Management" applicable to managers and employees are used as the basis respectively.
(1) The remuneration of the directors of the Company is paid by the board of directors in accordance with the authorization of the Company's articles of incorporation, according to the director's participation in the Company's operation and contribution and with reference to the "remuneration rules for directors and functional committee members" stipulated by domestic and foreign industry standards. The procedures for determining compensation are handled in accordance with article 30 of the Company's articles of incorporation. If there is a profit in the year, no more than $1\%$ of the profit shall be appropriated as directors' compensation. The Company regularly evaluates the remuneration of directors in accordance with the "Measures for the Performance Evaluation of the Board of
Directors" and the relevant performance evaluation and the reasonableness of the remuneration are reviewed by the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors.
(2) The remuneration of the Company’s managers is determined in accordance with relevant remuneration (salary) management regulations, under which various work-related allowances and bonuses are granted to acknowledge and reward employees for their efforts and contributions. Related bonuses are determined based on the Company’s annual operating performance, financial condition, operational status, and individual performance. In addition, if the Company records profits in a given year, 10% to 22% of such profits will be appropriated as employee compensation (including compensation for managers) in accordance with Article 30 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. Performance appraisal results implemented in accordance with the “Performance Management Policy” serve as a reference for determining managers’ bonus awards. Managerial performance evaluation items are divided into two categories: (1) financial indicators, which are based on the Company’s management income statements, with bonus allocation determined by each business unit’s contribution to overall profitability and reference to the managers’ achievement of assigned targets; and (2) non-financial indicators, which include the implementation of the Company’s core values, operational and management capabilities, and participation in sustainable development initiatives.
To strengthen sustainable corporate development, the Company has incorporated ESG performance indicators into the performance evaluation and remuneration system for senior managers and linked them to variable compensation. ESG performance indicators cover Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G) aspects, including greenhouse gas emission reduction (Scope 1 and Scope 2), employee engagement, and corporate governance performance (ESG ratings). Annual KPIs and medium- to long-term targets are established, and the level of achievement is incorporated into the performance evaluation mechanism and linked to variable compensation, with a weighting of approximately 10%, to encourage senior managers to actively promote and implement the Company’s sustainability strategies.
The Company also emphasizes sharing operational results with employees. In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, compensation allocated to frontline employees shall not be less than a specified portion of total employee compensation (not less than 10%), so as to ensure that operating results are reasonably distributed to frontline employees while maintaining remuneration fairness. Compensation based on operating performance is calculated accordingly, and the remuneration system is reviewed from time to time based on actual operating conditions and applicable laws and regulations.

Notably, the solar power system at the Vietnam plant was completed in 2025, while the Hsinchu headquarters is expected to complete its installation in 2026, steadily advancing toward the goals of RE60 by 2030 and RE100 by 2040. Regarding Supply Chain Decarbonization, the Company has begun inventorying supplier emissions and providing resources to assist them with carbon inventory training and reduction initiatives. Simultaneously, Alpha is deepening its Green Initiatives by integrating the spirit of SBTi into organizational decision-making. Furthermore, complemented by Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) management, Alpha is developing "Cradle-to-Gate" low-carbon products. Finally, Alpha is implementing Organizational Carbon Inventories by completing ISO 14064-1 verification for all subsidiaries included in its consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the FSC's roadmap, thereby fulfilling the carbon reduction commitments to all stakeholders. |

(II) Industry Overview
Alpha Networks Inc. is a specialized network communication equipment manufacturer, offering a comprehensive product portfolio, including metropolitan network products, wireless broadband network products, and digital multimedia and automotive solutions. Additionally, the Company possesses strong software development capabilities, providing customized services that enhance product value. As one of the few domestic manufacturers with a complete network communication product line, Alpha Networks Inc. is uniquely positioned to deliver both hardware and software solutions. Following several years of adjustments to client inventories, the networking industry progressively resumed a growth trajectory in 2025. According to the forecast provided by IEKView, the global output value of the networking industry attained NT$1.294 trillion in 2025, reflecting an annual increment of approximately 1.2%. This indicates that the industry has successfully emerged from a period of downturn and has entered a new phase characterized by technological advancement and application expansion. The rapid proliferation of generative artificial intelligence and cloud computing has emerged as the principal driving force behind the demand for networking equipment. As applications of artificial intelligence continue to escalate, the requirements for data center bandwidth and low latency have intensified, resulting in a significant increase in shipments of high-speed switches, optical transceiver modules, and server network equipment, thereby revitalizing the entire supply chain.
77
Furthermore, IDC forecasts that by 2026, enterprises will adopt a combination of AI and Agentic AI extensively, in order to address the demands associated with ultrahigh bandwidth and ultra-low latency network environments. Data center switching technology is projected to advance from 400G and 800G to 1.6T, with liquid cooling and high-voltage DC power supplies becoming standard configurations to mitigate the energy consumption and heat dissipation challenges associated with AI computing. Taiwan's supply chain possesses distinct advantages in high-speed Ethernet switches, optical communication modules, liquid cooling technologies, and power systems, and is anticipated to reap benefits from the global expansion of AI infrastructure.
Nevertheless, the industry continues to encounter significant challenges. Geopolitical risks and pressures related to supply chain restructuring persist. The United States' advocacy for local manufacturing policies, which necessitate supply chain diversification, is compelling manufacturers to expedite the expansion of production capacity in Southeast Asia and North America. Issues surrounding energy consumption in data centers are exacerbating, rendering energy management and carbon neutrality imperative for businesses. The implementation of liquid cooling technology and energy-efficient solutions has transitioned from being a mere option to an essential requirement for maintaining competitiveness. In alignment with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies, the Company is proactively investing in the research and development of liquid cooling technology for new products, thereby fostering sustainable development. In summary, the networking industry in 2025 is characterized by three primary attributes: "AI-driven, broadband upgrades, and sustainable transformation." Despite the presence of external uncertainties, technological innovation and the advancement of new applications have underscored the industry's substantial resilience and growth potential.
Furthermore, in the realm of mobile communications, the deployment of 5G technology continues to intensify, characterized by accelerated implementation in Europe and the United States, while India has emerged as a burgeoning center of demand. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), with its advantages of cost-effectiveness and rapid deployment, has established itself as a viable broadband alternative, thereby augmenting the shipment volume of base stations and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). The Dell'Oro Group observes that following the investment correction anticipated in 2024-2025, the global telecommunications industry will prioritize "efficiency first" strategies in 2026. Although capital intensity is projected to continue its decline to approximately $14\%$ , the focus of investment is expected to transition from extensive coverage to capacity expansion, enhancement of network quality, automation, and energy conservation. Key areas of attention will remain 5G standalone (SA) and mobile core network (MCN), with the integration of open APIs and artificial intelligence technologies poised to facilitate the development of new services and energy management solutions. It is anticipated that AI applications could reduce energy consumption within 5G networks by as much as $50\%$ , emerging as a critical strategy for telecommunications operators seeking to optimize their operational models.
Conversely, the Wi-Fi market is undergoing a significant phase of upgrades.

VII. Analysis and Assessment of Risk Matters:
(I) Impact of Interest Rate Changes, Exchange Rate Changes, and Inflation on the Company's Profit or Loss, and Future Response Measures:
- Impact of interest rate changes on the Company's profit or loss and future response measures.
Bank borrowings of the Company and its subsidiaries are all based on floating interest rates. The measures adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries to address interest rate fluctuation risks include regularly evaluating borrowing interest rates with banks and in various currencies, and maintaining good relationships with financial
institutions in order to obtain lower financing costs, while also strengthening working capital management and other measures to reduce dependence on bank borrowings and to diversify the risks arising from interest rate fluctuations.
The following sensitivity analysis is determined based on interest rate exposure. For floating-rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the outstanding liabilities at the reporting date remain outstanding throughout the entire year.
If interest rates increase or decrease by 0.25%, and all other variables remain unchanged, the consolidated Company's profit before tax for 2025 and 2024 would increase or decrease by NT$7,744 thousand and NT$5,176 thousand, respectively, mainly due to variable interest rates on the consolidated Company's short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings.
- Impact of exchange rate changes on the Company's profit or loss and future response measures:
The hedging strategy of the Company and its subsidiaries is to manage exchange rate risks arising from net foreign currency positions generated by sales and purchase transactions that have occurred by entering into forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts. The use of such derivative financial instruments can help the Company and its subsidiaries reduce, but cannot completely eliminate, the impacts caused by foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
The derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company and its subsidiaries all have maturities of less than three months and do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting.
The foreign exchange risks of the Company and its subsidiaries mainly arise from foreign currency-denominated cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and other payables, and the resulting foreign exchange gains or losses arising from translation. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, if the New Taiwan Dollar depreciates or appreciates by 1% against the U.S. Dollar and the Renminbi while all other factors remain unchanged, the consolidated Company's profit (loss) before tax for 2025 and 2024 would decrease or increase by NT$1,420 thousand and NT$15,558 thousand, respectively. The analyses for both periods are prepared on the same basis.
- Impact of inflation on the Company's profit or loss and future response measures:
In recent years, prices have increased steadily. The Company and its subsidiaries will continue to closely monitor inflation conditions and appropriately adjust product selling prices and inventory levels to reduce the impact of inflation on the Company and its subsidiaries, and will enter into purchase contracts with major raw material suppliers.
(II) Policies on High-Risk and High-Leverage Investments, Loans to Others, Endorsements and Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions; Main Reasons for Profits or Losses; and Future Response Measures.
The Company and its subsidiaries have consistently adhered to a policy of not engaging in high-risk or high-leverage investments. Derivatives transactions are conducted with the objective of risk hedging, and speculative trading is not undertaken. During 2025, derivatives transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries were conducted based on hedging principles, and no related operational risks were identified. In the future, the Company will continue to engage in derivatives transactions primarily to hedge risks arising from exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations, and will continue to periodically assess foreign exchange positions and related risks in order to mitigate operational risks.
The Company and its subsidiaries enter into forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts mainly to hedge risks arising from exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency-denominated assets or liabilities. Derivative financial instruments that are highly negatively correlated with changes in the fair value of the hedged items are used as hedging instruments and are periodically evaluated. However, as the transactions do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting, such instruments are recognized as financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. When engaging in loans to others, endorsements and guarantees, and derivatives transactions, the Company and its subsidiaries comply with relevant internal operating procedures and make periodic public announcements and filings in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
As of the date of publication of the annual report, counterparties to loans to others and endorsements and guarantees provided by the Company and its subsidiaries are limited to the Company's subsidiaries.
