Business Report
Despite multiple uncertainties such as geopolitics, the impact of U.S. tariffs, and trade barriers, the international economy showed strong resilience and grew gradually in 2025. Fortunately, the investment wave brought forth by the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) will inject strong growth momentum into the semiconductor industry in the coming years. Faced with the major trend of AI and many uncertainties, we must not only actively demonstrate our high competitiveness and play a leading role in the global market, but also carefully consider the balance between supply chain efficiency, the economy, and geopolitics, sustainability, as well as the complexities of regional diversification, scale, and regulation. These are all important objectives for us. Looking ahead to 2026, it will be a very promising year.
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast in January 2026, the global economic growth rate for 2026 and 2027 is expected to be 3.3% and 3.2%, with an estimated overall inflation rate of 3.8% for 2026. In addition, according to the statistics of the Industrial Technology Research Institute- Industry, Science and Technology International Strategy Center, Taiwan's IC packaging and testing industry output value in 2025 was approximately NT$711.1 billion, a 14.0% increase from 2024. The packaging industry output value was about NT$482.5 billion, a 14.0% increase from 2024, while the testing industry output value was about NT$228.6 billion, a 14.0% increase from 2024. Below is the report on the operational status of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") over the past year:
2025 Business Results
- Implementation Results of the 2025 Business Plan
The Group's consolidated revenue for 2025 was approximately NT$645.4 billion (including NT$380.2 billion from the semiconductor packaging and testing business, NT$257.2 billion from electronic manufacturing services, and NT$8.0 billion from other businesses), an increase of NT$50.0 billion from 2024, representing an 8.4% annual growth. The semiconductor packaging and testing business's consolidated revenue for 2025 increased by NT$63.9 billion from 2024, representing a 20.2% annual growth. The electronic manufacturing services' consolidated revenue for 2025 declined by NT$14.1 billion from 2024, representing a 5.2% annual decline. Overall revenue performance showed significant growth compared to 2024 across all segments, except for a slight decline in electronic manufacturing services due to a shift in market focus.
- Budget Execution
The Company did not disclose its financial forecasts in 2025.
- Financial Analysis
As shown in the consolidated financial statements for 2025, the Company's paid-in capital for 2025 was approximately NT$44.5 billion, with total equity attributable to the Company's owners amounting to approximately NT$346.9 billion, accounting for 39.0% of total assets of NT$889.3 billion. The ratio of long-term funds to property, plant, and equipment was 153.2%, the current ratio was 128.4%, and the return on assets was 5.9%. Additionally, the consolidated gross profit margin for 2025 was 17.7%, a slight increase from 16.3% in 2024. The operating profit was approximately NT$50.8 billion, an increase of NT$11.6 billion from 2024,
representing a significant increase of 29.6%. The pre-tax profit was approximately NT$51.3 billion, an increase of NT$9.6 billion from the previous year, representing a significant increase of 23.1%. The comprehensive income attributable to the Company's owners was approximately NT$37.9 billion, a 16.4% decline from the previous year. The main reason for the significant decrease in comprehensive income was translation differences in the financial statements of overseas operating entities caused by exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the New Taiwan dollar at year-end. Capital expenditure on machinery and equipment was NT$106.7 billion (approximately US$3.4 billion) in 2025, while capital expenditure on plant, facilities, and automation reached NT$65.9 billion (approximately US$2.1 billion). Overall, the financial structure was more robust and optimized compared to 2024.
*The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the New Taiwan dollar is calculated based on statistics published by the U.S. Federal Reserve as of December 31, 2025, at a rate of 1:31.37, and the same rate applies below.
4. Research and Development
The global semiconductor industry has gradually entered a phase of structural growth driven by artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), cloud data centers, and advanced computing applications. Advanced packaging, heterogeneous integration, and advanced testing will be key processes affecting chip performance, power consumption, bandwidth, and system reliability. Market demand is gradually shifting from single-chip solutions to system-level integration, further driving the demand for high-value-added packaging and testing services. As market demand evolves and industry entry barriers continue to rise, leading companies with deep technical expertise, mass-production capabilities, and global operational scale are expected to maintain favorable competitive positions. The Company will continue to strengthen its core competencies, prudently address industry uncertainties, and remain committed to creating sustainable long-term value for customers, shareholders, and the broader semiconductor ecosystem. In 2025, the Company successfully developed key products and technologies categorized as follows:
- Flip Chip Packaging (FCP): CoCoS (Chip on Chip on SBT) 2nd bonding tech. development
- Wire-Bond Packaging: AOI integrated with high efficiency anomaly detection AI technology for complex wirebonding inspection
- SiP Packaging: Development of HDI AiP device via DSM (Double Side Molding) with 3D DRA (Dielectric Resonator Antenna), 3D SiP thermal dissipation technology with high density copper pin packaging, 3D SiP - Double-side molding packaging with PMU SiP thermal dissipation technology, Fan Out fine-pitch vertical wire I/O interconnect miniaturized packaging technology
2026 Business Plan Overview
1. Group Management Policy

Expected Sales Volume and Basis
Based on industry conditions, future market demand, and the Group's production capacity, the Group's expected sales volume for 2026 is as follows:
| Sales Items | Estimated Sales Volume |
|---|---|
| Packaging | Approximately 36.8 billion units |
| Testing | Approximately 6.1 billion units |
*The estimated sales volume is based on current market demand and does not constitute a guarantee of future performance.
- Important Production and Sales Policies
Looking back at 2025, the Company's growth in its packaging and testing business mainly came from advanced packaging services and testing services. Revenue from advanced packaging services grew from NT$18.8 billion (approximately US$600 million) in 2024 to NT$50.2 billion (approximately US$1.6 billion) in 2025, and the revenue share of the packaging and testing business also increased from 6% to 13%. Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, revenue will continue to grow, driven by the widespread adoption of advanced solutions and AI, as well as overall semiconductor demand resulting from the recovery of the semiconductor market. Advanced packaging and testing revenue is expected to double from the previous year, with 75% of the revenue coming from packaging and 25% from testing. In light of the current growth trend and to prepare for growth in the coming years, we will actively make necessary investments to maintain our leading edge. The Company will expand investment in R&D, human capital, advanced production capacity, and smart factories. Capital expenditure and R&D expenses will be much higher than last year and are expected to remain at a high level next year. Based on the Company's sound financial structure and efficient funding sources, our expanded investments in the past two years have resulted in a significant improvement in both shareholders' equity and the rate of return on invested capital. We believe these investments are valuable.
Group Future Development Strategy
Looking ahead to the next few years, driven by large-scale cloud service providers and data center construction, the AI server cycle will continue to grow. With the advancement of edge applications, the development of physical-layer infrastructure is also accelerating, including robots, drones, and automation equipment. Furthermore, Taiwan's industry cluster and the Company undoubtedly hold a leading position in the entire semiconductor industry chain. System optimization is a key driver of AI development, and Taiwan has the most complete supply chain in this field, along with competitive efficiency in infrastructure development and resource planning. In a rapidly changing market, customers will choose to partner with leading supply chains to ensure a competitive edge. At the same time, the Company will also strive to establish overseas production bases to seize future opportunities for physical AI applications in order to cater to the global business layout of our customers. We will continue to expand our presence in Malaysia, South Korea, and the Philippines, with Penang in Malaysia serving as a key node of high strategic value in our global supply chain for AI robotics and automotive electronics. Semiconductors drive AI, and AI in turn pushes the limits of semiconductors. AI is no longer a mere economic issue; it also affects national security and the future development of humanity, elevating the importance of semiconductors to an unprecedented level and making industrial development even
more complex. The entire industry needs greater flexibility and intelligence to remain responsive.
Impact of External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Overall Operating Environment
In the face of the current global business environment, the semiconductor industry has entered an irreversible new era driven by the AI wave. However, geopolitical tensions and tariff policy uncertainties still pose challenges to the supply chain. Regarding tariff policies, we must uphold an attitude of respect and compliance. Taiwan's semiconductor industry will remain highly competitive as long as the differences in tariffs between countries are not too great. The core of global semiconductor cooperation has always been founded on the three principles of trust, mutual benefit, and the belief in creating the greatest value for humanity. The Company will continue to strengthen its global presence and actively invest in innovation and sustainability to ensure long-term value creation for shareholders in complex environments. At the same time, the Company has been selected as a constituent of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and the Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets Index for 10 consecutive years, and is also the first company in Taiwan to receive a Leadership rating in the Climate Change Assessment from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for nine consecutive years. Furthermore, in 2025, we partnered with affiliated companies, supply chain partners, and stakeholders across Taiwan to conduct simultaneous beach and ocean cleanups, contributing our efforts to ecological conservation. We hope to instill the concept of "protecting the marine environment and ensuring sustainable hope" in the hearts of our employees and supply chain partners, and further internalize it into our corporate culture, so that we can take action together to safeguard the planet and preserve a blue future for the next generation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (a Republic of China corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Group maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Group and our report dated March 27, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
As described in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at Goodcare Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "GOODCARE"), and HydroTron Power Co., Ltd. (the "HydroTron"), which were acquired in 2025, and whose financial statements constituted less than 1% of net and total assets, operating revenues, and profit of the respective consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at GOODCARE and HydroTron.
Basis for Opinion
The Group's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (a Republic of China corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements") (all expressed in New Taiwan Dollars). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Our audits also comprehended the translation of New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of the readers outside the Republic of China.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Group's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 27, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Group's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Goodwill – Allocated to the Packaging and Testing Segments for Impairment - Refer to Notes 4, 5 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Group’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the estimates of the value in use of each segment. The Group used the discounted cash flow model to estimate value in use, which required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to discount rates and forecasts of future revenues. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on either the value in use, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both. The goodwill balance was NT$52,541,905 thousand (US$1,674,909 thousand) as of December 31, 2025, of which NT$35,430,752 thousand (US$1,129,447 thousand) and NT$13,440,470 thousand (US$428,450 thousand) were allocated to the packaging and testing segments, respectively. The value in use of the packaging and testing segments exceeded their carrying values as of the measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.
We identified the valuation of goodwill for the Group’s packaging and testing segments as a critical audit matter due to the significant estimates and assumptions management makes to estimate the value in use of the packaging and testing segments and the sensitivity of their operations to changes in demand. Auditing management’s judgments related to the selection of the discount rates and forecasts of future revenues for the packaging and testing segments required a high degree of auditor’s judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our valuation specialists.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the discount rates and forecasts of future revenues used by management to estimate the value in use of the packaging and testing segments included the following, among others:
- We tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls over management’s evaluation of goodwill allocated to the packaging and testing segments for impairment, including those over the determination of the value in use of the packaging and testing segments, such as controls related to management’s selection of the discount rates and assessment on the reasonableness of forecasts of future revenues.
- We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast future revenues of the packaging and testing segments by comparing their actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
- We performed sensitivity analyses to evaluate the risk of impairment if key assumptions were changed.
- With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rates by performing certain procedures, including:
- Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rates and the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
- Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "parent company only financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matter of the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, is discussed as follows.
Evaluation of Goodwill (Allocated to the Packaging and Testing Segments) included in Investments in Subsidiaries for Impairment
The Company's evaluation of goodwill included in investments in subsidiaries for impairment involves the estimates of the value in use of each segment, to which each subsidiary attributed. The Company used the discounted cash flow model to estimate value in use, which required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to discount rates and forecasts of future revenues. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on either the value in use, the amount of any goodwill impairment
- 28 -
charge, or both. The goodwill included in investments in subsidiaries was NT$51,886,100 thousand as of December 31, 2025, of which NT$34,867,397 thousand and NT$13,348,020 thousand were allocated to the packaging and testing segments, respectively. The value in use of the packaging and testing segments exceeded their carrying values as of the measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.
The operation of the packaging and testing segments is sensitive to changes in demand in the semiconductor industry which varies by economic trends. Given the significant estimates and assumptions management makes to estimate the value in use of the packaging and testing segments and the sensitivity of their operations to changes in demand, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's estimates and assumptions related to the selection of the discount rates and forecasts of future revenues for the packaging and testing segments required a high degree of auditors' judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our valuation specialists.
Please refer to Notes 4(d) and 5 for the related accounting policy, critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty as well as other disclosures on the Company's evaluation of goodwill included in investments in subsidiaries for impairment.
Our audit procedures related to the discount rates and forecasts of future revenues used by management to estimate the value in use of the packaging and testing segments included the following, among others:
- We tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls over management's evaluation of goodwill allocated to the packaging and testing segments for impairment, including those controls related to management's selection of the discount rates and assessment on the reasonableness of forecasts of future revenues when management determined the value in use of the packaging and testing segments.
- We evaluated management's ability to accurately forecast future revenues of the packaging and testing segments by comparing actual results to management's historical forecasts.
- We performed sensitivity analyses to evaluate the risk of impairment if key assumptions were changed.
- With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rates by performing certain procedures, including:
- Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rates and the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
- Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
- 29 -
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The number of shares present at the meeting shall equal the aggregate number of shares held by the shareholders having submitted their signing cards, plus shares that shareholders have exercised their voting rights by way of electronic transmission.
Article 3 Each shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held except for those shares prohibited from exercising voting rights in accordance with Article 179 of Taiwan Company Act or otherwise restricted under the relevant provisions of Taiwan Company Act. When a shareholder is not able to attend a shareholders’ meeting, a shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting on his behalf by executing a proxy instrument prepared by the Company stating therein the scope of proxy authorization. Except for trust enterprises or stock affairs agencies approved by the competent authority of securities, in the event a person acts as the proxy for two or more shareholders, the total number of issued and voting shares entitled to be voted as represented by such proxy shall be not more than three percent of the total number of issued and voting shares of the Company; any vote in respect of the portion in excess of such three percent threshold shall not be counted.
A shareholder may only execute one proxy instrument and appoint one proxy only, and shall serve such written proxy to the Company no later than five days prior to the date of shareholders’ meeting. In cases where the Company receives multiple proxy instruments from one shareholder, the first one arriving at the Company shall prevail unless an explicit statement to revoke the previous written proxy is made in the proxy which comes later.
Shareholders who have authorized a proxy to attend a shareholders’ meeting later intend to attend the shareholders’ meeting in person or to exercise his voting power by way of electronic transmission, the shareholder shall, at least two days prior to the date of such shareholders’ meeting, serve the Company with a separate written notice revoking his previous appointment of the proxy.

Summary of Corporate Governance Differences
Item 16G. Corporate Governance
As a company listed on the NYSE, we are subject to certain corporate governance rules of the NYSE. The application of the NYSE’s corporate governance rules is limited for foreign private issuers, recognizing that they must comply with domestic requirements. As a foreign private issuer, we must comply with the following NYSE corporate governance rules: 1) satisfy the audit committee requirements of the SEC; 2) the principal executive officer must promptly notify the NYSE in writing upon becoming aware of any material non-compliance with applicable NYSE corporate governance rules; 3) submit annual and interim affirmations to the NYSE regarding compliance with applicable NYSE corporate governance requirements; and 4) provide a brief description of any significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards. The table below sets forth the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards.

|---|---|
| Director independence | |
| Listed companies must have a majority of independent directors, as defined under the NYSE listing standards. | Three members of our board of directors are independent as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. We do not assess the independence of our directors under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards. Pursuant to relevant laws and regulations of the R.O.C., we have three independent directors on our board of directors that were elected through the candidate nomination system at our annual general shareholders’ meeting on June 26, 2024. |
| To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, the non-management directors of each company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. | All of our directors attend the meetings of the board of directors. Our independent directors do not meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. The R.O.C. Company Law does not allow separate board meetings of part but not all of the board of directors. |
| Nominating/Corporate governance committee | |
| Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards. | We do not have a nominating/corporate governance committee. The R.O.C. Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the R.O.C. to have a nominating/corporate governance committee. Currently, our board of directors performs the duties of a corporate governance committee and regularly reviews our corporate governance principles and practices. In addition, our chief administration officer was appointed as the corporate governance officer by the board of directors to facilitate the operation of the board of directors. |
The R.O.C. Company Law requires that directors be elected by shareholders. Under R.O.C. laws and regulations, companies that have independent directors are required to adopt a candidate nomination system for the election of independent directors. The directors (including independent directors) of the company listed on the TWSE or the Taipei Exchange shall be elected by adopting the candidate nomination system. Our three independent directors were elected through the candidate nomination system provided in our Articles of Incorporation. |
| Compensation committee
Listed companies must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards. | We have a compensation committee as required by the regulations promulgated by the FSC. The charter of such committee contains similar responsibilities as those provided under NYSE listing standards. |
| In addition to any requirement of Rule 10A-3(b)(1), all compensation committee members must satisfy the | We do not assess the independence of our compensation committee members under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards but adopt the independence |

| The audit committee must have a minimum of three members. In addition to any requirement of Rule 10A-3(b)(1), all audit committee members must satisfy the independence requirements for independent directors set out in the NYSE listing standards. | We currently have three members on our audit committee. Our audit committee members satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

Our audit committee charter does not address all the matters required by the NYSE listing standards beyond the requirements of Rule 10A-3. |
Because the appointment and retention of our independent auditor are the responsibility of our entire board of directors under R.O.C. laws and regulations, our audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to these matters. |
| Each listed company must have an internal audit function. | We have an internal audit function. Under the R.O.C. Regulations for the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies, a public company is required to set out its internal control systems in writing, including internal audit implementation rules, which must be approved by the board of directors. Our entire board of directors and the principal executive officer are responsible for the establishment of the internal audit functions, compliance with the internal audit implementation rules, and oversight of our internal control systems, including the appointment and retention of our independent auditor. |
| Equity compensation plans
Shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, except for employment inducement awards, certain grants, plans, and amendments in the context of mergers and acquisitions, and certain specific types of plans. | The board of directors has authority under R.O.C. laws and regulations to approve (i) the distribution of employee compensation and (ii) employee stock option plans by a majority vote of the board of directors at a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present and to grant options to employees pursuant to such plans, provided that shareholders’ approval is required if the exercise price of an option would be less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the TWSE on the grant date of the option, subject to the approval of the Securities and Futures Bureau of the FSC, and to approve treasury stock programs and the transfer of shares to employees under such programs by a majority vote of the board of directors in a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present. |
