China Container Terminal Corp.

2020 Annual Business Report

According to Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER)'s economic review of 2020 and the general economic forecast of 2021 on November 30, 2020, the economic had been affected by COVID-19 pandemic that ravaged the world in 2020. In order to prevent the spread of the pandemic, countries worldwide adopted strict control measures such as lockdowns of cities, border closures and restrictions on personnel activities, causing a halt to the demand of global economy, while the international prices of crude oil and commodities also plummeted. Despite Taiwan's proper prevention of the pandemic, the global economic recession still frustrated Taiwan's economy significantly in the first half of this year.Since the third quarter, however, the domestic traditional industry has recovered month by month with the rebound of overseas demand when economic activities restarted in several major countries. The electronic information industry has benefited from the strong demand for emerging technology applications and remote business opportunities, coupled with the new orders received by semiconductor majors from Europe and the U.S. The emergence of rush orders from Chinese major plants under U.S. sanctions, the semiconductor manufacturing industry in overall gradually prospered in the second half of the year.

The Central Bank of R.O.C. (Taiwan) issued a press release on December 17, 2020, stating that the strong demand for electronic components and information and communication products, coupled with the stabilization of exports of machinery, plastic and chemical products in recent months, have led to significant growth in overall exports. However, as border controls continue, the number of foreigners coming to Taiwan has dropped dramatically, limiting the growth of service exports. For the domestic demand, the labor market improved, the unemployment rate dropped, and the retail and restaurant revenue continued to grow; semiconductor manufacturers continued to make capital expenditures, while Taiwanese enterpreneurs implemented their return to Taiwan for investment. The Central Bank predicts that the economy will grow moderately in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the annual economic growth rate will be revised upward to 2.58%.

According to the forecast made by the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research on January 25, 2021, although the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 has officially exceeded 96 million worldwide, the impact of the pandemic is expected to gradually fade in 2021 as countries gradually launch and receive the vaccination. Major international forecasters believe that global trade and economic growth in 2021 will significantly improve than the situation in 2020 coupled with the elimination of political uncertainty in the US and Europe and the low base period.

Taiwan's export performance is expected to grow significantly considering the gradual ease of the pandemic, the relocation of some production lines back to Taiwan, and the strong demand for emerging technologies. In addition, semiconductor manufacturers continue to invest in advanced manufacturing processes and benefit from the restructuring of the global supply chain. The government also vigorously promoted the construction of green energy, attracting foreign investments to Taiwan that will help domestic demand performance. In overall, both the domestic and external demand improved simultaneously, making the annual economic growth rate of 2021 higher than that of 2020. According to the latest forecast of the Taiwan Economic Research Institute, the domestic economic growth rate in 2021 was 4.30%, which was 0.29% higher than the forecast in November 2020.

At the beginning of the pandemic, there was a global lockdown and the combined shutdown rate of nine major shipping routes worldwide was once as high as 74%. All shipping operators pessimistically expected that global trade would be greatly affected and therefore reduced the supply of vessels and containers. However, the strong recovery of market demands in Asia, Europe and the United States from the second half of 2020 caused the supply to fall short of demand. The demand of Asia was higher than expected, which in turn crowded out the supply of European routes, causing a major tightening of global shipping supply from November. The shortage of workers, containers and ships during the pandemic has caused shipping prices to rise sharply. Because the rate of increase is so fast that the original monthly quotation of the shipping companies has been changed to weekly quotation. Researchers predict that by the first quarter of 2021, the freight rate will increase by another 20% for routes of America and 30% of Europe, which will result in a significant increase in profits for container shipping operators.

According to the statistical data of the port company, the container handling volume of the four major international commercial ports in Taiwan in 2020 was 9,621,662 TEU at Kaohsiung Port, with 7.74% of annual decrease; 1,532,792 TEU

  • 8 -

at Keelung Port, with 5.33% of annual increase; 1,820,968 TEU at Taichung Port, with 1.51% of annual increase; 1,618,131 TEU at Taipei Port, with 0.14% of annual decrease. The total volume of containers handled by the ports in Taiwan declined by 4.61% compared to 2019. In 2020, the volume of our operations was slightly affected by the pandemic, and the statistics are listed as follows:

I. CFS Import and Export Goods

  1. Keelung Station: The increase in the operations was due to the increase in the volume of centralized inspection and the change in the mode of delivery by the shippers to compete for space, resulting in a 4.79% increase in the volume of operations.

  2. Wudu Station: The volume declined by 3.51% decline due to carriers shifting import containers to other outside yards.

  3. Taichung Station: The operating volume declined by 12.39% due to the impact of the pandemic.

  4. Kaohsiung Station: The operating volume declined by 27.52% due to the impact of carrier route adjustments.

II. CY Import and Export Empty/Heavy Cabinets

  1. Keelung Station: The increase in CY operations resulted from the increase in carrier access rates.

  2. Taichung Station: The decline in CY operations was due to the conversion of transshipment containers from the original sea corridors to land transportations.

  2. Taichung Station: The decline in traffic was due to the impact of the pandemic on northeast and southeast routes, and carriers responded to the phenomenon by reducing flights.

  • 10 -

(6) Continuing to replace the old machines with new ones while actively striving for new customers to move in.

  • (7) The company operating the lease of Container Terminals 19 to 21 in Keelung Port West to convince the former customers to continue berthing and general rate recovery (GRR), and to actively seek support from other shipping companies in order to increase the company's revenue and generate reasonable profits.

  • (8) Improving the container turnaround rate, enhance venue utilization, and further increase revenue.

  • (9) Enhancing the efficiency of loading and unloading of terminals, shortening the time of vessel calls, improving the container turnover rate and thus creating a vision of win-win situation with our customers.

  • (10) The bridge machine track renewed to accommodate the newly purchased bridge machines while the old ones are replaced to improve the efficiency of loading and unloading operations at the terminal.

2.Long-term development plan

  • (1) Cooperating with port companies to expand the scope of West Coast Terminal operations and reduce unit operating costs.

  • (2) Actively striving to obtain the lease of idle container terminals at the Kaohsiung Port for autonomous operation.

  • (3) Responding to the establishment of free trade port areas in various ports, we are able to meet the needs of container terminal operators for chartering, and in turn, will be able to attract new business.

Prospects of 2021

According to a report in December by shipping market consultant Alphalier, the cargo volumes of global container shipping market will decline at the ratio of 1.4% in 2020. In 2021, the global cargo volume is expected to increase by 3.5% and capacity shall increase by 3.9%; while in 2022, the global capacity will increase by 1.1% and cargo volume will increase by 3.2%. The capacity for the

  • 11 -

launch of new vessels in 2021 will be relatively relieved, and the supply and demand structure of the industry will improve in 2020.

According to the latest economic growth forecast released by IHS Markit in November 2020, the global economy is in deep recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only some new countries and China are recovering better than expected, thus the rate of global economic growth is raised to -4.2% in 2020. Mainland China remains the only major economy to perform positive growth. Prospecting 2021, the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccine is expected to boost the pace of global economic recovery, driven by the high growth of mainland China, and the global economic growth rate is forecasted to be 4.2% in 2021. However, the timing of the pandemic, the intensity of fiscal stimulus and trade relations will affect the pace of recovery and may lead to uneven growth among different countries.

In 2020, countries around the world are facing the challenge of choice between the management of pandemic and economic restart. Controlling the pandemic is crucial to limiting economic losses, but it is still difficult to determine whether it is due to poor fortune or inappropriate policies. Taiwan is the only country in the world that has been able to maintain positive economic growth while properly controlling the pandemic and has received global attention.

In early 2020, the Company predicted that the impact of the outbreak of pandemic would lead to a decrease in the handling volume of existing cross-strait routes. At the end of 2020, however, the handling volume at Keelung station increased by 2%, while the handling volume at Taichung station decreased by 4% due to the redeployment of routes by carriers in response to the full capacity, resulting in a 1% decrease in the overall volume of 2020. The first quarter of 2021 is expected to be better than the same period last year as carriers are still in a state of bursting. However, there are still uncertainties on whether the vaccination will be widely administered in various countries, when the vaccination will be unblocked in various countries, and when the movement of personnel and goods

  • 12 -

will return to normal.

Facing these market changes, the Company will seek external cooperation opportunities to maximize the effectiveness of its assets and increase its business competitiveness and will actively renew its equipment to improve efficiency and reduce labor costs to promote rate recovery and increase its revenue. We believe that with the experience and business partners we have accumulated over the years, we will be able to respond to current market changes. All employees will continue to work hard with diligence and sincerity to meet the expectations and trust of our shareholders.

2020 Consolidated Financial Statement

Attachment IV

Independent Auditors’ Report

(110) TSAI-SHEN-PAO-TZU No. 22003384

To China Container Terminal Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of China Container Terminal Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as China Container Terminal Group) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Consolidated Comprehensive Income Statement of January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 as well as the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Financial Statement Notes (including important accounting policies summary).

In our opinions, the compilation of the above consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, of the consolidated financial status of December 31, 2020 and 2019 in the China Container Terminal Group and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow of January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 prepared according to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and the announcement of the interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for Opinion

The audit of the financial statements was conducted by us in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under these standards will be further explained in the paragraph about the external auditor's responsibility on auditing. We are independent of the China Container Terminal Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate auditing evidence as the basis to express our audit opinions.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters refer to the most important matters on the audits to China Container Terminal Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 based on professional judgment. The matters have been responded on the whole audited consolidated financial statements and during the process of the expression of the audit opinions. There, we won’t express opinions separately towards the matters.

The key audit matters in China Container Terminal Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

Assessment of the Impairment of Machine and Equipment

Description

For the accounting policies for machine and equipment, please refer to Note IV (XIII) in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. For the description of machine and equipment, please refer to Note VI (VI) in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The balance of machine and equipment at Dec. 31, 2020 was NT$1,580,965,000.

The China Container Terminal Group conducted the assessment of the impairment of

~17~

machine and equipment at the end of 2020. The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit was measured at the value-in-use of the asset and used as the basis for judging if there is any impairment. Because the estimate of recoverable amount mainly includes future cash flow and discount rate, and many significant assumptions adopted in this process involve the subjective judgement by the management and have high uncertainty in estimate, the results of the accounting estimate based on it will have a material effect on the assessment of impairment. Therefore, we listed the China Container Terminal Group’s assessment of the impairment of machine and equipment as one of the most significant matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The procedure that we performed in response to the above key audit matter is summarized below:

  1. We assessed the key assumptions used by the management in the measurement of future cash flow, which includes the comparison with historical results, in order to assess the reasonability of the estimated revenue, gross profit and changes in expenses.

  2. We assessed the reasonability of the basic assumptions used by the management in the estimation of future cash flow; We double-checked the parameter of the discount rate used, including the risk-free rate of return of the cost of equity and the reasonability of the risk coefficient for the industry.

Other matter - Parent company only financial statements

China Container Terminal Corporation has prepared the parent company only financial statements for fiscal year 2020 and 2019, with us issuing a report with unqualified opinions and other matters for reference.

Responsibility of the management and the governing body for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management’s responsibility is to prepare the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, according to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and the announcement of the interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission as well as maintain necessary internal control related to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in order to ensure there is no major untrue expression on the financial statements due to fraud or error.

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the responsibility of management also includes evaluating China Container Terminal Group’s capability of continuous operation, disclosure of relevant matters, and the application of continuous operation accounting model unless the management intends to liquidate China Container Terminal Group or suspend it business operation or there is no alternative practical and feasible solution other than liquidation or business suspension.

The governance unit at China Container Terminal Group (including supervisors) is responsible for supervising the process of financial reports.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

~18~

The purpose of the consolidated financial statements audited by us is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the significant untrue expression exists on the whole consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error as well as issue the audit report. The reasonable assurance is the high certainty; however, it won’t be able to guarantee that the significant untrue expression will definitely be able to be detected by generally accepted auditing standards, and the untrue expression might be caused from fraud or error. It is regarded as with significance if the individual amount or the aggregation number of the untrue expression can reasonably predict that it will affect the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial statements.

When we conduct the audit according to generally accepted auditing standards, we use professional judgment and maintain our professional suspicion. We also executed the following tasks:

  1. Identifying and evaluating the risk of major untrue expression on the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error; designing and implementing proper responding strategies towards the risk evaluated; and obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis of audit opinions. Due to fraud might be involving with collusion, counterfeiting, malicious omission untrue declaration, or going out of the internal control, the risk of not detecting the major untrue expression due to fraud will be higher than that due to error.

  2. Obtaining necessary understanding of internal control related to audit in order to design proper audit procedure under the situation of the case. However, its purpose is not to express opinion toward the effectiveness of the internal control in China Container Terminal Group.

  3. Evaluating the adequacy of the accounting policies used by the management and the reasonability of the accounting evaluation and relevant disclosure concluded.

  4. Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclusion towards the appropriateness of continuous operation accounting basis that the management adopts and the existence of major uncertainty on events or situations with major concerns affecting China Container Terminal Group’s capability in continuous operation are made. If we believe major uncertainty existed on the event or situation, we must remind the users of consolidated financial statements on the audit report to pay attention on the relevant disclosure or modify audit opinion when the disclosure is not appropriate. The conclusion that we made is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the audit report day, but future events or situations might cause China Container Terminal Group not capable in continuous operation.

  5. Evaluating the overall expression, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes) as well as whether the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, relevant transaction and events.

  6. Obtaining sufficient and appropriated audit evidence of the financial information from the individual entity within China Container Terminal Group as well as express opinions towards financial statements. We are in charge of the directing, supervision, and execution on the consolidated audit cases as well as concluding audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements of China Container Terminal Group.

The communication between us and the governing unit includes the audit scope and time planned and major audit findings (including the significant defects on the internal control identified during the auditing process).

~19~

We have also provided information to the governing body that the personnel of the firm - under which we are working - who are subject to independence requirements have complied with the statement of independence in the R.O.C. CPA code of professional ethics and communicated to the governing body all relationships and other matters (including relevant safeguards) that may be considered to affect the independence of CPAs.

We determined the key audit matters that we would like to execute on China Container Terminal Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 from the communication with the governing unit. We clearly stated the related matters on the audit report unless it is the specific matter that is not allowed to be disclosed to the public according to laws, or under a very rare situation that we decided not to communicate specific matters on the audit report because we can reasonably anticipate the negative influence generated by the communication will be greater than the public interests increased.

2020 Parent Company Only Financial Statement

Attachment V

Independent Auditors’ Report

(110) TSAI-SHEN-PAO-TZU No. 20003488

To China Container Terminal Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the Parent Company Only Statement of Financial Statement of China Container Terminal Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Parent Company Only Comprehensive Income Statement of January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 as well as the Parent Company Only Statements of Changes in Equity, Parent Company Only Statements of Cash Flows and Parent Company Only Financial Statement Notes (including important accounting policies summary).

In our opinions, the compilation of the above Parent Company Only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, of the Parent Company Only financial status of December 31, 2020 and 2019 in the Company and the Parent Company Only financial performance and Parent Company Only cash flow of January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 prepared according to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and the announcement of the interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for Opinion

The audit of the financial statements was conducted by us in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under these standards will be further explained in the paragraph about the external auditor's responsibility on auditing. We are independent of the Company in accordance with Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate auditing evidence as the basis to express our audit opinions.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters refer to the most important matters on the audits to the Company’s Parent Company Only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 based on the

~26~

professional judgment. The matters have been responded on the whole audited Parent Company Only financial statements and during the process of the expression of the audit opinions. There, we won’t express opinions separately towards the matters.

The key audit matters in the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

Assessment of the Impairment of Machine and Equipment

Description

For the accounting policies for machine and equipment, please refer to Note IV (XII) in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. For the description of machine and equipment, please refer to Note VI (VII) in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The balance of machine and equipment at Dec. 31, 2020 was NT$1,580,930,000.

The China Container Terminal Group conducted the assessment of the impairment of machine and equipment at the end of 2020. The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit was measured at the value-in-use of the asset and used as the basis for judging if there is any impairment. Because the estimate of recoverable amount mainly includes future cash flow and discount rate, and many significant assumptions adopted in this process involve the subjective judgement by the management and have high uncertainty in estimate, the results of the accounting estimate based on it will have a material effect on the assessment of impairment. Therefore, we listed the China Container Terminal Group’s assessment of the impairment of machine and equipment as one of the most significant matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The procedure that we performed in response to the above key audit matter is summarized below:

  1. We assessed the key assumptions used by the management in the measurement of future cash flow, which includes the comparison with historical results, in order to assess the reasonability of the estimated revenue, gross profit and changes in expenses.

  2. We assessed the reasonability of the basic assumptions used by the management in the estimation of future cash flow; We double-checked the parameter of the discount rate used, including the risk-free rate of return of the cost of equity and the reasonability of the risk coefficient for the industry.

~27~

Responsibility of the Management and the Governing Body for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Management’s responsibility is to prepare the Parent Company Only Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, according to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations and the announcement of the interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission as well as maintain necessary internal control related to the preparation of the Parent Company Only financial statements in order to ensure there is no major untrue expression on the financial statements due to fraud or error.

When preparing the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, the responsibility of management also includes evaluating the Company’s capability of continuous operation, disclosure of relevant matters, and the application of continuous operation accounting model unless the management intends to liquidate the Company or suspend it business operation or there is no alternative practical and feasible solution other than liquidation or business suspension.

The governance unit at the Company (including supervisors) is responsible for supervising the process of financial reports

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

The purpose of the Parent Company Only financial statements audited by us is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the significant untrue expression exists on the whole Parent Company Only financial statements due to fraud or error as well as issue the audit report. The reasonable assurance is the high certainty; however, it won’t be able to guarantee that the significant untrue expression will definitely be able to be detected by generally accepted auditing standards, and the untrue expression might be caused from fraud or error. It is regarded as with significance if the Parent Company Only amount or the aggregation number of the untrue expression can reasonably predict that it will affect the economic decisions made by the users of the Parent Company Only financial statements.

When we conduct the audit according to generally accepted auditing standards, we use professional judgment and maintain our professional suspicion. We also executed the following tasks:

~28~
  1. Identifying and evaluating the risk of major untrue expression on the Parent Company Only financial statements due to fraud or error; designing and implementing proper responding strategies towards the risk evaluated; and obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis of audit opinions. Due to fraud might be involving with collusion, counterfeiting, malicious omission untrue declaration, or going out of the internal control, the risk of not detecting the major untrue expression due to fraud will be higher than that due to error.

  2. Obtaining necessary understanding of internal control related to audit in order to design proper audit procedure under the situation of the case. However, its purpose is not to express opinion toward the effectiveness of the internal control in the Company.

  3. Evaluating the adequacy of the accounting policies used by the management and the reasonability of the accounting evaluation and relevant disclosure concluded.

  4. Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclusion towards the appropriateness of continuous operation accounting basis that the management adopts and the existence of major uncertainty on events or situations with major concerns affecting the Company’s capability in continuous operation are made. If we believe major uncertainty existed on the event or situation, we must remind the users of Parent Company Only financial statements on the audit report to pay attention on the relevant disclosure or modify audit opinion when the disclosure is not appropriate. The conclusion that we made is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the audit report day, but future events or situations might cause the Company not capable in continuous operation.

  5. Evaluating the overall expression, structure and content of the Parent Company Only financial statements (including relevant notes) as well as whether the Parent Company Only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, relevant transaction and events.

  6. Obtaining sufficient and appropriated audit evidence of the financial information from the entities within the Company as well as express opinions towards financial statements. We are in charge of the directing, supervision, and execution on the Parent Company Only audit cases as well as concluding audit opinions on the Parent Company Only financial statements.

The communication between us and the governing unit includes the audit scope and time planned and major audit findings (including the significant defects on the internal control

~29~

identified during the auditing process).

We have also provided information to the governing body that the personnel of the firm— under which we are working—who are subject to independence requirements have complied with the statement of independence in the R.O.C. CPA code of professional ethics and communicated to the governing body all relationships and other matters (including relevant safeguards) that may be considered to affect the independence of CPAs.

We determined the key audit matters that we would like to execute on the Company’s Parent Company Only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 from the communication with the governing unit. We clearly stated the related matters on the audit report unless it is the specific matter that is not allowed to be disclosed to the public according to laws, or under a very rare situation that we decided not to communicate specific matters on the audit report because we can reasonably anticipate the negative influence generated by the communication will be greater than the public interests increased.

Article 7 (The chair and non-voting participants of a shareholders meeting)

If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the chairperson of the board. When the chairperson of the board is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the chairperson, the vice chairperson shall act in place of the chairperson; if there is no vice chairperson or the vice chairperson also is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the vice chairperson, the chairperson shall appoint one of the directors to act as chair.

When a director serves as chair, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the director shall be one who has held that position for six months or more and who understands the financial and business conditions of the company. The same shall be true for a representative of a juristic person director that serves as chair.

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.

If a shareholders meeting is convened by a party with power to convene but other than the board of directors, the convening party shall chair the meeting. When there are two or more such convening parties, they shall mutually select a chair from among themselves.

The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or

  • 56 -

related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders meeting in a non-voting capacity.

Article 8 (Documentation of a shareholders meeting by audio or video)

The 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.

Article 9

Attendance at shareholders meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the attendance book and sign-in cards handed in plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronically.

The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. 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.

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.

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 (Discussion of proposals)

If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting

  • 57 -

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 (Shareholder speech)

Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker’s slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak 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 subject given 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 any violation.

When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to

  • 58 -

attend a shareholders meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal.

After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.

Article 12 (Calculation of voting shares and recusal system)

Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares.

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 the Company, 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 13

A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted 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 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 the Company avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments

  • 59 -

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 the Company 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, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to the Company, 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 the Company’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 the Company.

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

  • 60 -

meeting, and a record made of the vote.

The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.

Article 14 (Election of directors and supervisors)

The election of directors or supervisors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the applicable election and appointment rules adopted by the Company, and the voting results shall be announced on-site immediately, including the names of those elected as directors and supervisors and the numbers of votes with which they were elected.

The minutes shall be retained for the duration of the existence of the Company.

Article 16 (Public disclosure)

The chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to help maintain order at the meeting place. When proctors or security personnel help maintain order at the meeting place, they shall wear an identification card or armband bearing the word “Proctor.”

At the place of a shareholders meeting, if a shareholder attempts to speak through any device other than the public address equipment set up by the Company, the chair may prevent the shareholder from so doing.

When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chair’s correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.

Article 18 (Recess and resumption of a shareholders meeting)

When a meeting is in progress, the chair may announce a break based on time considerations. If a force majeure event occurs, the chair may rule the meeting temporarily suspended and announce a time when, in view of the circumstances, the meeting will be resumed.
