China Bills Finance Corporation

2025 Business Report

I. Domestic and Foreign Economic Environment

I. International Economic Environment

The global economy demonstrated resilience in the first half of 2025 but shifted toward a moderate slowdown in the second half of the year. Growth in the first half was primarily driven by temporary factors such as front-loaded trade activities and inventory adjustments, rather than a fundamental improvement in economic conditions. As these effects gradually faded, economic data weakened, labor markets softened, and tariff-related pressures pushed up inflation in the United States. Major international institutions generally expect global growth in 2026 to slow compared to 2025, with trade deceleration being particularly evident. According to S&P Global’s forecast released on January 15, global economic growth is projected at 2.70% in 2026, representing a decline of 0.12 percentage points from 2.82% in 2025.

From a regional perspective, U.S. economic performance in 2025 was affected by fluctuations in exports and imports due to tariff policies, while investment and consumption were supported by the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed). Looking ahead to 2026, the U.S. economy will face uncertainties and lagged impacts from tariff policies; however, continued rate cuts by the Fed are expected to lower financing costs and improve credit conditions, potentially leading to a period of accelerated growth. In addition, supportive factors such as tax cuts under the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)” and the midterm elections in November are expected to further support economic expansion. In the euro area, inflation has stabilized around the 2% target, while growth is supported by Germany’s fiscal stimulus, funding from the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility, and increased defense spending. However, attention should be paid to high debt risks in Italy and France, as well as the impact of U.S. tariffs and competition from China. In Japan, if inflation stabilizes at around 2% and wages continue to grow, the interest rate normalization path is expected to remain unchanged. The yen exchange rate has fluctuated amid fiscal expansion pressures and optimistic sentiment driven by strong performance in the Japanese equity market. Mainland China continues to exhibit weak domestic demand but strong external demand. While consumer confidence remains subdued, manufacturing exports remain robust, and the development of the new economy has supported the equity market. The renminbi has appreciated beyond the 7 threshold, reflecting the People’s Bank of China’s flexible exchange rate policy and improving capital market conditions.

Looking ahead to 2026, the global economy will continue to face multiple challenges, particularly U.S. trade policies, China’s industrial adjustments, the development of artificial intelligence, geopolitical conflicts, and climate change. These factors will not only affect Taiwan’s export performance but also influence domestic demand and consumption through financial markets and import prices, warranting close monitoring.

Geopolitical risks and climate change remain key sources of global economic uncertainty. The Russia-Ukraine conflict remains unresolved, while escalating tensions in the Middle East have led to increased volatility in energy and commodity markets, affecting global supply chain stability and sustaining inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, climate change impacts have intensified, with extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall occurring across many regions in 2025, disrupting food and energy supplies and increasing uncertainty surrounding inflation and economic growth in 2026.

II. Domestic Economic Environment

Taiwan’s economic growth in 2025 exceeded expectations, with the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER) estimating an annual growth rate of 7.43%. Despite increased policy uncertainty due to reciprocal tariffs, early inventory buildup and strong demand driven by AI-related investment and exports remained the primary growth drivers.

Looking ahead to 2026, global uncertainties remain elevated amid geopolitical tensions, tariff pass-through effects, high sovereign debt levels, accommodative fiscal policies, and an ongoing rate-cut cycle. While global economic growth is expected to moderate, AI development will continue to support industrial transformation and productivity gains. CIER forecasts Taiwan’s economic growth at 4.14% in 2026. Growth is expected to be stronger in the first half and moderate in the second half, shifting from an “externally strong, domestically moderate” pattern in 2025 to a more balanced growth pattern in 2026.

Domestic inflation is expected to continue easing in 2026, supported by stable global commodity prices and declining oil prices. The CPI growth rate is projected at approximately 1.64%, similar to 1.66% in 2025, marking the fifth consecutive year of decline in the post-pandemic period.

II. Business Plan Implementation Results

In guaranteed commercial paper business, new business momentum continued to strengthen in 2025. The Company actively implemented credit portfolio optimization strategies to enhance spreads. Supported by ample market liquidity since April 2025, income from guaranteed business exceeded budget targets.

In non-guaranteed commercial paper business, the Company maintained a leading market share in the bills market. Prior to the expiration of FRCP-related provisions, the Company actively expanded its FRCP client base. Coupled with abundant market liquidity since April 2025 and effective adjustments to existing portfolio strategies, performance of non-guaranteed bills business met budget expectations.

In Taiwan bond business, the Central Bank of Taiwan adopted a more accommodative monetary policy in response to tariff impacts, leading to lower short-term interest rates and improved carry spreads. Through portfolio maturity management and opportunistic acquisition of higher-yield positions, the Company achieved its target carry spreads.

In U.S. bond business, the Company realized capital gains in a timely manner to offset spread compression. However, tariff-driven inflation led the Federal Reserve to adopt a wait-and-see approach toward inflation trends and delay its rate-cut cycle, limiting the reduction in foreign currency funding costs and resulting in overall yields falling short of budget targets.

In equity-related business, market conditions in the first half of 2025 continued to be influenced by tariff policies and uncertainty regarding the timing of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, increasing the difficulty of managing trading positions. OCI portfolio were gradually reduced at higher levels, resulting in the overall OCI portfolio not meeting the budget target.

In convertible bond, market sentiment remained cautious, with unclear price trends and trading volumes, resulting in performance falling short of budget targets.

In asset swap operations, amid volatile equity market conditions, demand increased and transaction yields rose. Under prudent credit risk management, the Company actively increased positions in medium-to high-yield assets, resulting in an improvement in overall returns.


The Company's key performance results in 2025 are as follows:

Unit: NTD million, USD million

Item 2025 (Year-end) 2024 (Year-end) Change (%)
Underwriting and primary purchases of bills 3,812,999 3,711,181 2.74%

Balance of guaranteed commercial paper 117,479 114,282 2.80%

China Bills Finance Corporation

Report on the Company's 2025 Remuneration Policy for Directors and Senior Executives

I. Analysis of the Total Remuneration Paid to Directors, the President, and the Vice President over the Past Two Years, as a Ratio to Net Income in the Financial Report:

2024 2025
Total Amount (NT$ Thousands) Ratio to Net Income Total Amount (NT$ Thousands) Ratio to Net Income
Remuneration for Director 40,450 2.94% 56,559 3.15%

Net Income 1,374,335 100.00% 1,796,079 100.00%

*The total remuneration paid to the Directors, the President and the Vice Presidents in 2025 increased compared to 2024, primarily due to the increase in net income after tax in 2025 and the satisfactory achievement of various business targets, and was appropriately adjusted in accordance with the Company's existing remuneration mechanism.

**The Company does not have any subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements.

II. Remuneration Policy, Standards, and Structure, Procedures for Determining Remuneration, and its Relationship with Business Performance and Future Risks:

  1. Remuneration Policies, Standards, and Components

(1) The remuneration of the Company's directors is determined in accordance with Article 18-2 of the "Articles of Incorporation," which authorizes the Board of Directors to decide based on the level of participation and contribution of each director to the Company's operations, while considering the practices of peer financial institutions. Additionally, if the Company is profitable in the relevant year, the director's remuneration is allocated up to a maximum of 2.50% of the profit, in accordance with Article 32 of the "Articles of Incorporation," but independent


directors do not participate in the distribution of directors' remuneration. In December 2025, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Company’s “Regulations Governing the Appropriation and Distribution of Directors’ and Employees’ Remuneration,” under which, on the basis of the profit appropriation mechanism set forth in Article 32 of the Articles of Incorporation, an EPS-linked appropriation mechanism was introduced to strengthen the performance-oriented remuneration framework and to better recognize and reward the contributions of directors. Given the Company’s increase in net income in the year ended December 31, 2025, coupled with the satisfactory achievement of various operational targets, the total directors’ remuneration for the year increased compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

(2) The remuneration of the Company’s senior management personnel is governed by the "Employee Remuneration Guidelines" and the "Year-End Bonus Allocation and Distribution Regulations", which specify various types of allowances and bonuses, designed to acknowledge and reward employees’ efforts and contributions. Bonuses are granted based on the Company’s annual operating performance, financial condition, business operations, and individual performance. In determining bonuses for senior executives, the Company refers to performance evaluations conducted in accordance with the "Employee Performance Management Guidelines" and the "Employee Performance Appraisal Implementation Procedures". The performance evaluation criteria for senior management personnel comprise the following: 1. Financial Indicators: Including but not limited to business target achievement rate, cost-to-income ratio, and asset quality. The evaluation also takes into account the extent to which each executive meets assigned goals. 2. Non-Financial Indicators: Including legal and regulatory compliance, internal control and risk management, sustainability objectives, and climate risk targets. Performance-based remuneration is calculated in accordance with the above evaluation metrics, and the remuneration system is reviewed and adjusted as necessary in response to actual operational circumstances and applicable regulations. Furthermore, in 2025, the Company has established sustainability-related performance evaluation indicators for the

18


President, which include: carbon reduction targets, carbon reduction strategies and concrete action plans, implementation of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards projects, and optimization of the Corporate Governance Evaluation results.

(3) In accordance with Article 32 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, if the Company reports a profit in a given fiscal year, between 1.00% and 2.50% of such profit shall be allocated as employee remuneration. However, in the event of accumulated losses, the amount required to offset such losses shall be retained in advance. In addition, to share operating results with employees, it is stipulated that the portion allocated to entry-level employees shall not be less than 15% of the total amount of employee remuneration. In December 2025, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Company’s “Regulations Governing the Appropriation and Distribution of Directors’ and Employees’ Remuneration,” under which, on the basis of the profit appropriation mechanism set forth in Article 32 of the Articles of Incorporation, an EPS-linked appropriation mechanism was introduced to strengthen the performance-oriented remuneration framework, with a view to incentivizing and retaining outstanding employees.

(4) The Company's remuneration package comprises cash compensation, retirement benefits or severance pay, various allowances, and other forms of substantive incentives. The scope and disclosure of such remuneration are fully aligned with the requirements set forth in the Regulations Governing Information to be Published in Annual Reports of Public Companies, with respect to compensation for directors and managerial officers.

  1. Procedures for Determining Remuneration

(1) To ensure a systematic and objective evaluation of compensation for directors and senior management personnel, the Company conducts regular performance assessments in accordance with the “Rules for Board Performance Evaluation of Board of Directors” for directors, and the “Employee Performance Appraisal Implementation Procedures” for senior management personnel. The remuneration of senior management personnel is determined with reference to key performance indicators (KPIs) tied to the Company’s operating performance and is subject to

19


approval by the Board of Directors. In particular, the performance evaluation of the President is based on the achievement of the Company's annual strategic and operational targets. The assessment encompasses a wide range of criteria, including: financial performance, leadership and team management, project and process execution, regulatory compliance and internal control, customer relationship management, sustainable development.

(2) In 2025, the Company engaged an independent external professional institution to conduct performance evaluations of the Board of Directors, individual directors, and members of various functional committees, and the results all indicated performance significantly exceeding the prescribed standards. The Company proactively implemented forward-looking strategies, including both revenue-generating initiatives and cost-reduction measures, as well as strategic business restructuring to optimize operational efficiency. As a result, overall profitability surpassed expectations. Accordingly, based on the results of the 2025 performance evaluation, all senior management personnel achieved or exceeded their designated performance targets.

(3) The performance evaluations and remuneration rationality of the Company's directors and senior management personnel are subject to annual assessments and reviews by both the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors. The actual remuneration amounts disbursed to directors and senior management personnel in 2025 were reviewed by the Remuneration Committee and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors.

Performance evaluations of directors are conducted in accordance with the “Rules for Board Performance Evaluation of Board of Directors” The assessment criteria include: (a) understanding of the Company’s goals and missions; (b) awareness of directors’ responsibilities; (c) level of engagement in Company operations; (d) management of internal relationships and communication; (e) professional competence and ongoing education; and (f) internal control oversight.

Performance evaluations of senior management personnel take into account individual performance achievements and contributions to the Company. Additionally, factors such

20


as prevailing practices in the financial industry, the Company’s overall operational performance, industry risk outlook and development trends are considered. The remuneration system is reviewed and adjusted as necessary in accordance with the Company’s actual operating conditions and relevant regulations. In line with current corporate governance trends, the Company seeks to maintain an appropriate balance between fair compensation and sustainable management and risk control.

  1. Correlation Between Managerial Performance and Future Risk

(1) The review of the Company’s remuneration policies, related payment standards, and systems is primarily based on the overall operational performance of the Company. Payment standards are determined by assessing the achievement rates and contributions related to financial indicators and non-financial indicators (including sustainability indicators), with the aim of enhancing the overall organizational and team effectiveness of the Board of Directors and management departments. Additionally, industry remuneration standards are referenced to ensure that the Company's management remuneration remains competitive within the industry, thereby retaining outstanding management talent.

(2) The performance objectives of the Company’s senior management personnel are all closely aligned with risk management, ensuring that any potential risks within the scope of their responsibilities are properly identified, managed, and mitigated. Performance evaluations are conducted based on actual outcomes and are directly linked to the Company’s human resources policies and remuneration policies. The Company’s executive decision-making process involves a comprehensive assessment of various risk factors. The results of such decisions are reflected in the Company’s profitability, thereby establishing a clear connection between executive compensation and risk management performance.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
China Bills Finance Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of China Bills Finance Corporation (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 financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying 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 Publicly Held Bills Finance Companies, Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

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 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

36


Estimated Impairment of Financial Guarantee Contracts

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s estimated reserve for losses on guarantee for the Company’s financial guarantee contracts entered into with credit clients was $1,586,500 thousand. In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”, the Company recognized the reserve for guarantee liabilities based on the assessed and estimated occurrence of expected losses on financial guarantee contracts. In addition, the reserve for guarantee liabilities was calculated and classified in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Non-Performing Credit, Non-Accrual Loans, and Bad Debt” (Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bad Debt) and related regulations.

Please refer to Notes 4, 5, 21 and 38 (g) for relevant information and accounting policy for financial guarantee contracts.

The Company should assess the classification of credit assets and recognize the reserve for guarantee liabilities in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bad Debt”. The assessment and reservation involve subjective judgment and estimates, which will directly affect the related accrued amounts. Thus, the estimated impairment of financial guarantee contracts is deemed to be a key audit matter.

The main audit procedures we performed in response to certain aspects of the key audit matter described above are as follows:

  1. We understood the relevant internal controls about the estimated impairment of reserve for guarantee liabilities of financial guarantee contracts and we tested the effectiveness of the operation of the controls.
  2. We reviewed the management’s loss reserves evaluation report of credit assets, checked the completeness of credit assets on the loss reserves evaluation report and evaluated the appropriateness of classification. We also recalculated the amount of reserves for guarantee liabilities shown on the provision for loss reserves evaluation report to confirm the mathematical accuracy of provision for loss reserves.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Publicly Held Bills Finance Companies, Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China., and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the 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.

37


Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 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:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  4. 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 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.
  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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.

38


From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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 engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuan-Hao Lee and Yin-Chou Chen.

56


his/her behalf. In the absence of such a designation, the directors shall elect one from among themselves as an acting chairman.

It is advisable that shareholders meetings convened by the board of directors be chaired by the chairperson of the board in person and attended by a majority of the directors, at least one supervisor in person, and at least one member of each functional committee on behalf of the committee. The attendance shall be recorded in the meeting minutes.

The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or related personnel to attend a shareholders meeting in a non-voting capacity.

Article 8 This Company, beginning from the time it accepts shareholder attendance registrations, shall make an uninterrupted audio and video recording of the registration procedure, the proceedings of the shareholders meeting, and the voting and vote counting procedures.

The recorded materials of the preceding paragraph shall be retained for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.

Where a shareholders meeting is held online, this Corporation shall keep records of shareholder registration, sign-in, check-in, questions raised, votes cast and results of votes counted by this Corporation, and continuously audio and video record, without interruption, the proceedings of the virtual meeting from beginning to end.

The information and audio and video recording in the preceding paragraph shall be properly kept by this Corporation during the entirety of its existence, and copies of the audio and video recording shall be provided to and kept by the party appointed to handle matters of the virtual meeting.

In case of a virtual shareholders meeting, this Corporation is advised to audio and video record the back-end operation interface of the virtual meeting platform.

Article 9 Attendance at shareholders meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares.

The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time and disclose information concerning the number of nonvoting shares and number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting.

However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned. In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall also declare the meeting adjourned at the virtual meeting platform.

If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding paragraph, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to Article 175, paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders meeting shall be convened within one month. In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, shareholders intending to attend the meeting online shall re-register to the company in accordance with Article

57


6.

When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act.

Article 10 If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors. Votes shall be cast on each separate proposal in the agenda (including extraordinary motions and amendments to the original proposals set out in the agenda). The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders meeting.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the board of directors.

The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, the other members of the board of directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.

The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting.

Article 11 Before making the speech, the attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip with the subjects of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The orders of speech by which shareholders make will be set by the chair.

A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the content specified on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.

Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.

When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop the shareholders who interrupt other shareholders' speeches.

When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders' meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal.

In the wake of shareholder's speech, the chair of the meeting may respond in person or designate relevant personnel to respond.

Where a virtual shareholders meeting is convened, shareholders attending the virtual meeting online may raise questions in writing at the virtual meeting platform from the chair declaring the meeting open until the chair declaring the meeting adjourned. No more than two questions for the same proposal may be raised. Each question shall contain no more than 200 words. The regulations in paragraphs 1 to 5 do not apply.

As long as questions so raised in accordance with the preceding paragraph are not in violation of the regulations or beyond the scope of a proposal, it is advisable the questions be disclosed to the public at the virtual meeting platform.

Article 12 The voting of the annual general shareholders meeting shall be calculated based on the number of shares they represent.

58


With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.

When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of this Corporation, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.

The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.

With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.

Article 13A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted to shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.

When the company holds a shareholder meeting, it shall adopt the exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt the exercise of voting rights by correspondence. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting; it is therefore advisable that this Corporation avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals.

A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to this Corporation before two days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.

After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person or online, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to this Corporation, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before two business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.

Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in this Corporation's articles of incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.

When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.

59


Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of this Corporation.

77


shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.

The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.

With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.

Article 13A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted to shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.

When the company holds a shareholder meeting, it shall adopt exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt exercise of voting rights by correspondence. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting; it is therefore advisable that this Corporation avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals.

A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to this Corporation before two days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.

After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person or online, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to this Corporation, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before two business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.

Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in this Corporation's articles of incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.

When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.

Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of this Corporation.

Vote counting for shareholders meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.
