I. Operational Directives
-
The sustainable development strategies of "Engineering," "Operation and Maintenance," and "Circular Economy":
-
Engineering: Deeply cultivate the Group's business, expand the existing business and operating scope to increase revenue, and reduce costs through internal process transformation; strengthen project management and improve core technology to improve profitability.
-
Operation and Maintenance: From within the group to outside the group, promote the business model of the integration of mechanical and electrical maintenance engineering and refractory materials to increase revenue and profits.
-
Circular Economy: Promote and construct the new business model of Circular Economy, participate in the fields of Circular Economy, recycled water and green power generation from business connections, and develop innovative business models of engineering and production integration to enhance the company's competitiveness.
II. Operational Directives Implementation Status
- Project Engineering: Mechanical and electrical engineering mainly focuses on the renewal, regular repair, annual repair and overhaul of various production equipment in the China Steel Group. In addition to the transformation of raw material transportation processes and the wind and dust prevention equipment of raw material storage sites, environmental protection projects have become stricter in recent years, and regulations on air pollution prevention and control
- 10 -
have been tightened to promote the construction of dust collection, desulfurization, and denitrification projects. In addition, there are still projects under construction such as refractory materials for steel mills and biotechnology construction.
-
Operation and Maintenance: Includes China Steel's solid mixed materials pre-treatment plant, resource recovery plant, industrial wastewater purification plant, Dragon Steel central water plant, Clear Lake advanced water purification plant, Jinmen Taihu water purification plant, and Kaohsiung Qiaotou wastewater treatment plant; it constitutes a stable business and source of profits.
-
Circular Economy: This encompasses strategic cooperation with China Steel Solar Energy Corporation to develop the Group's solar photovoltaic construction project, which completed a total of 83.21MWp units by the end of 2019. Since the Legislative Yuan passed an amendment to renewable energy development regulations in 2019, a large percentage of electricity consumers must set up a certain percentage of renewable energy power generation equipment. In addition, the Executive Yuan announced a two-year plan to promote solar photovoltaic projects, which will help to continue to advance the construction of intra-Group turnkey projects. This can also be expected to extend to turnkey projects outside the Group, building on roof installation experience and achievements within the Group.
III. Business Implementation Outcome
The company's target market is positioned in diversified engineering fields such as environmental protection engineering, electromechanical engineering, biotechnology plant construction
- 11 -
engineering, electromechanical maintenance and resource recovery plants, and advanced water purification plant agency operation. The main construction projects in 2019 are as follows:
-
Environmental protection engineering: Encompasses Formosa Ha Tinh sintering plant waste gas desulfurization and deoxing project, New Taipei City Sanying Water Resources Recovery Center construction project, China Steel cold-rolled finishing warehouse and steel plate plant PV construction project, the finishing plant for the Dragon Steel Flat Steel solar photovoltaic construction project, the CSAC Co. 2019 solar photovoltaic construction project, the Sing Da Marine Structure public facilities installation and construction works, Sing Da Marine Structure, Honley Auto, Magnpower, ThinTech Materials solar photovoltaic construction, and so on. Calculated at NT$3.209 billion, this accounted for 34.44% of total revenue.
-
Mechanical and electrical engineering: the Linkou Power Plant renewal and expansion plan coal transportation system project, the China Steel W11 coal and iron mine conveying process transformation project, the China Steel # 1BF PCI screening machine demolition project, new and improved engineering of the conveying process of the wind and dust prevention efficiency improvement project of Zhonglong Steel Raw Material Storage Yard, the Zhonglong R02 electric furnace material-in-one project, the Taikang Biotechnology Company Hsinchu Bioscience Park biomass drugs commercialized mass production GMP production plant construction, and so on are calculated at NT$3.276 billion, accounting for 35.17% of total revenue.
-
Agency operations, mechanical and electrical maintenance, and others: Engineering projects including mechanical and electrical maintenance works for China Steel and Dragon Steel as well as Chengcing Lake, operation of Jinmen Taihu water treatment plant, and so on, calculated at NT$2.831 billion and accounting for 30.39% of total revenue.

- Operating revenue in 2019 decreased by NT$1,497,673 thousand compared with 2018. The main reason is that new projects are still in the design planning stage, and operating cost is recognized as the project cost according to the completion ratio method during the project period. In addition, strengthened project budget management and
- 13 -
control of cost savings resulted in an increase in net operating income of NT$3,947 thousand compared with 2018.
-
Non-operating income and expenses in 2019 increased by NT$17,745 thousand compared with 2018. The main reason was that the profit and loss of related companies recognized by the equity method increased by NT$36,833 thousand and dividend income increased by NT$7,312 thousand from 2018. In addition, the net profit and loss from currency exchange decreased by NT$27,539 thousand compared with 2018.
-
In summary, net profit before tax in 2019 increased by NT$21,692 thousand compared to 2018, and consolidated net profit for the whole year increased by NT$28,994 thousand compared with 2018.
-
V. Research and Development Status
In 2019, the Company took trends in the revision of environmental laws as indicators for technical research and development. In terms of wastewater treatment, we have cooperated with Japanese manufacturers to complete the test and verification of fluorine-containing wastewater treatment technology with special ion exchange resin. In addition, sludge produced by the treatment of sewage wastewater has been developed in sludge drying and reuse technology; this technology has been applied to the actual plant and has entered the construction phase of the project. We have also cooperated with China Steel’s R&D unit to develop circulating water calcium fluoride inhibitors for water treatment aids, completing online testing and verification of the chemical compound with good results and obtained a calcium fluoride inhibitor supply contract.
In terms of air pollution prevention and control technology, the company continues to focus on technology development to improve SOx / NOx emissions from fixed pollution sources. This technology has been
- 14 -
applied to large-scale flue gas treatment systems in steel plants such as China Steel, Dragon Steel and Formosa Ha Tinh. Future research and development of air pollution prevention and control technology will use this as the main focus to improve system treatment efficiency, reduce treatment costs and engineering design optimization, and introduce medium temperature catalyst and high temperature dust collection technology.

Accountants’ Audit Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders China Ecotek Corporation
Audit opinion
Regarding the consolidated balance sheet of China Ecotek Corporation (China Ecotek) and its subsidiaries on December 31, 2019 and 2018, as well as consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and consolidated cash flow statement, as well as notes to the consolidated financial statements from January 1 to December 31, 2019 (including a summary of major accounting policies), these have been audited by the accountant.
According to the opinion of the accountant, the abovementioned consolidated financial statements are prepared in all material respects in accordance with the issuer ’s financial reporting standards, the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretation and Interpretation Announcements approved and issued by the
Financial Supervisory Commission. They are sufficient to express the consolidated financial situation of China Ecotek and its subsidiaries in 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow from January 1 to December 31 in 2019 and 2018.
Basis for Opinion
We’ve performed the audit according to the responsibilities of the auditors under such standards are to be further described in the section of Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
- 16 -
Consolidated Financial Statements. The responsibilities of the auditors under such standards are to be further described in the section of Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Consolidated Financial Statements. The auditors of the firm subject to the independence regulations have maintained independent from China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries in accordance with the Code of Ethics and performance other obligations of such Code. We believe to have obtained and sufficient audit evidences in order to be used as the basis for the opinion.
Emphasis of Matters
As mentioned in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, China Ecotek and its subsidiaries have applied revised securities issuer financial report preparation standards since 2019 and approved and issued the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Interpretation Announcements that will be effective in 2019 as approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and choose not to restate the comparison period information. We have not revised the audit opinion due to such matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit items refer to the most important items for the audit of the 2019 consolidated financial statements of China Ecotek and its subsidiaries according to the professional judgment of the accountant. Such matters have been reflected in the entirety of the consolidated financial statements audited and throughout the process of the opinion formation. We do not provide opinions separately for such matters.
The key audit matters of China Ecotek and its subsidiaries' 2019 consolidated financial statements are as follows:
- 17 -
Calculation of Construction Income/Loss
China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries signed a lot of construction contracts, and among such contracts, there are contracts crossing over several reporting periods. The construction income of China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries has been recognized according to the percentage completion method. if there is an expected loss in a construction contract, the total construction loss of contracts shall be recognized in full immediately. Since the recognition of construction income is determined based on the status of construction completion progress and the expected cost incurred, and due to the certain level of subjectivity in the estimation, there is a risk associated with the possible error in the calculation result of construction profit/loss or failure in the recognition for the correct period. Relevant accounting policies, significant accounting estimates and judgments are described in Note 4 (16) and Note 5 (1) of the consolidated financial statements. We’ve assessed the appropriateness of the percentage of completion method adopted by the management level, and have conducted review on the estimation of the construction cost prepared and examined whether or not there are control procedures of major difference between the actual cost incurred and the outstanding cost still required for the completion, inspected the construction cost (including the raw material requisition and construction outsourcing) incurred in the current year, in order to evaluate the appropriateness of the percentage of completion method adopted by the management level.
We have also selected important items for recalculation of the construction income, and verified the expected construction income and the construction contracts (including supplementary addendums or revisions), in order to determine whether the
- 18 -
construction income and construction profit/loss recognized for the current year are reasonable. Other Matters
China Ecotek has prepared individual financial statements for 2019 and 2018, and the audit report issued by the accountant to strengthen the paragraph adjustment is on record for reference. Responsibilities of Management Level and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The management level is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as the management level determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management level is responsible for assessing the ability of China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries for continuing the operation 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 China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The governance units (including supervisors) of China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process thereof.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The purpose of our audit of the consolidated statements is to
- 19 -
obtain reasonable assurance on whether the entirety of the consolidated financial statements contain any material misstatement caused by fraud or error, and to issue the audit report. The term of “reasonable assurance” refers to high level of assurance. Nevertheless, the audit performed according to the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards cannot guarantee the discovery of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. Misstatement may be caused by fraud or error. When an individual amount or a total amount of a misstatement can be reasonably anticipated to affect the economic decision made by the users of the consolidated financial statements, then it shall be considered to be material misstatement.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following works:
-
I. Identify and assess the risk of material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error. Design and adopt appropriate countermeasures for the risks assessed. In addition, obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidences in order to be used as the basis for the opinion. Since fraud may involve a conspiracy, counterfeit, intentional disclosure, deceptive statement or exceeding internal control, consequently, the risk of failure to discover material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk due to error.
-
II. 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 internal control of China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries.
- 20 -
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management level.
-
IV. According to the audit evidences obtained, evaluate appropriateness of the continuous operation accounting basis and whether or not events or circumstances possibly generating material concerns on the continuous operation ability of China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries have significant uncertainty, and provide conclusion thereto. In case where we consider that such events or circumstances have significant uncertainty, then relevant disclosure of the consolidated financial statements shall be provided in the audit report to allow users of consolidated financial statements to be aware of such events or circumstances, or shall revise the opinion when such disclosure is considered in appropriate. Our conclusion is made based on the audit evidences obtained up to the audit report date. Nevertheless, future events and circumstances may still cause the China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries to lose their ability to continue the operation.
-
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
VI. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidences for the financial information of individual entity of China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries as well as provide opinion on the consolidated financial report. We handle the guidance, supervision and execution of the audit on the China Ecotek
- 21 -
Corporation and subsidiaries and are responsible for preparing the opinion for the China Ecotek Corporation and subsidiaries.
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 the governance units with statements that we have complied with relevant matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and we have also
communicated with the governance units on all relationships and other matters (including relevant protective measures) that may be considered to affect the independence of auditors.
The accountant has communicated with the governance unit and decided to check the key audit matters for the 2019 consolidated financial statements of China Ecotek and its subsidiaries. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation preclude 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.

Accountants’ Audit Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders China Ecotek Corporation
Audit opinion
China Ecotek Corporation (China Ecotek) individual balance sheets for 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the individual consolidated income statement, individual statement of changes in equity, and individual cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2019 and 2018. The statement and notes to individual financial statements (including the summary of major accounting policies) have been audited by the accountant.
In accordance with the opinion of the accountant, the abovementioned individual financial statements are prepared in accordance with the securities issuer’s financial reporting standards in all material aspects, which is sufficient to express China Ecotek’s individual financial position in 2019 and December 31, 2018 and individual financial performance and individual cash flow from January 1 to December 31 in 2019 and 2018.
Basis for Opinion
The accountant performs the audit work in accordance with the accountant ’s rules for auditing financial statements and generally accepted auditing standards. The accountant’ responsibilities under these standards will be further explained in the accountability sections of the accountants' audits of individual financial statements. The personnel subject to the independence norms of the firm affiliated with this accountant have maintained detachment and independence from China Ecotek in accordance with accountant professional ethics norms, and have performed other responsibilities of the norms. We believe to have obtained and sufficient audit evidences in order to be used as the basis for the opinion.
Emphasis of Matters
- 23 -
As mentioned in Note 3 to the individual financial statements, China Ecotek has applied revised securities issuer financial report preparation standards since 2019 and approved and issued the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Interpretation Announcements that are effective in 2019 as approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and has chosen not to restate the comparison period information. We have not revised the audit opinion due to such matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters refer to the matters most important to the audit of China Ecotek's 2019 individual financial statements based on the professional judgment of the accountant. These matters have been dealt with in the process of checking the overall financial statements of the entity and the formation of the audit opinion. The accountant does not express an opinion on these matters separately.
The key audit items of China Ecotek's 2019 individual financial statements are as follows:
Calculation of Construction Income/Loss
China Ecotek has signed many engineering contracts, including contracts that span several reporting periods. China Ecotek's project revenue is recognized by the percentage of completion method. If the project contract is expected to incur losses, the contract ’s total project losses should be recognized in full immediately, because the project revenue recognition depends on the completion of the project and the expected cost input situation. Due to the estimated degree of subjectivity, it may lead to the calculation of project profit and loss risks that are incorrect or not recognized in the correct period. Relevant accounting policies, significant accounting estimates and judgments are explained in Note 4 (15) and Note 5 (1) of the individual financial statements.
- 24 -
We’ve assessed the appropriateness of the percentage of completion method adopted by the management level, and have conducted review on the estimation of the construction cost prepared and examined whether or not there are control procedures of major difference between the actual cost incurred and the outstanding cost still required for the completion, inspected the construction cost (including the raw material requisition and construction outsourcing) incurred in the current year, in order to evaluate the appropriateness of the percentage of completion method adopted by the management level.
We have also selected important items for recalculation of the construction income, and verified the expected construction income and the construction contracts (including supplementary addendums or revisions), in order to determine whether the construction income and construction profit/loss recognized for the current year are reasonable.
Responsibility of management and governance units for individual financial statements
The management's responsibility is to prepare individual financial statements that are properly expressed in accordance with the securities issuer's financial report preparation standards, and to maintain the necessary internal controls related to the preparation of individual financial statements. This is done to ensure that there are no major misrepresentations caused by fraud or errors in individual financial statements.
When preparing individual financial statements, the management's responsibilities also include evaluating China Ecotek's ability to continue operations and disclose related matters, and the adoption of the accounting foundation for continuing operations, unless management intends to liquidate China Ecotek or cease operations, or there are no other practical solutions except for liquidation or suspension of business.
The governance unit (including supervisors) of China Ecotek is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
- 25 -
Accountants' responsibility for checking individual financial statements The purpose of this accountant's audit of individual financial statements is to obtain reasonable confidence in whether the individual financial statements as a whole have major misrepresentations due to fraud or errors, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance, but the audit work carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards cannot guarantee that it will be able to detect major misrepresentations in the individual financial statements. Misstatement may be caused by fraud or error. It is considered to be significant if the misrepresented individual amounts or aggregated numbers can reasonably be expected to affect the economic decisions made by individual financial statement users.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also perform the following works:
-
I. Identify and assess the risk of material misrepresentation of individual financial statements due to fraud or error, design and implement appropriate countermeasures for the assessed risks, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis for the audit opinion. Since fraud may involve a conspiracy, counterfeit, intentional disclosure, deceptive statement or exceeding internal control, consequently, the risk of failure to discover material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk due to error.
-
II. Obtain the necessary understanding of the internal controls related to the audit to design the appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but its purpose is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of China Ecotek's internal controls.
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
- 26 -
reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management level.
-
IV. Based on the audit evidence obtained, a conclusion is drawn about the appropriateness of the management level to adopt the accounting basis for continuing operations and whether there are significant uncertainties in events or circumstances that may cause significant doubts about the ability of China Ecotek to continue operating. If the accountant believes that there are significant uncertainties in these events or circumstances, he must remind the individual financial statement users to pay attention to the relevant disclosures of the individual financial statements in the audit report, or revise the audit opinions when such disclosures are inappropriate. The accountant ’s conclusion is based on the audit evidence obtained as of the date of the audit report. However, future events or circumstances may cause China Ecotek to cease to have the ability to continue operations.
-
V. Evaluate the overall expression, structure and content of the individual financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the individual financial statements allow the relevant transactions and events to be properly expressed.
-
VI. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of the constituent entities in China Ecotek to express opinions on individual financial statements. The accountant is responsible for the guidance, supervision and execution of the audit case, and is responsible for the formation of China Ecotek audit opinions.
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).
- 27 -
We also provide the governance units with statements that we have complied with relevant matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and we have also communicated with the governance units on all relationships and other matters (including relevant protective measures) that may be considered to affect the independence of auditors.
From the matters communicated with the governance unit, the accountant decides the key audit matters for the auditing of China Ecotek's 2019 individual financial statements. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation preclude 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.

shareholders meeting. None of the above matters may be raised by an extraordinary motion.
A shareholder holding 1 percent or more of the total number of issued shares may submit to the Company a written proposal for discussion at a Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Such proposals, however, are limited to one item only, and no proposal containing more than one item will be included in the meeting agenda. In addition, when the circumstances of any Sub-paragraph of Paragraph 4 of Article 172-1 of the Company Act apply to a proposal put forward by a shareholder, the board of directors may exclude it from the agenda. Prior to the book closure date before a Annual Meeting of Shareholders is held, the Company shall publicly announce that it will receive shareholder proposals, and the location and time period for their submission; the period for submission of shareholder proposals may not be less than 10 days.
Shareholder-submitted proposals are limited to 300 words, and no proposal containing more than 300 words will be included in the meeting agenda. The shareholder making the proposal shall be present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and take part in discussion of the proposal.

At the shareholders’ meeting the board of directors shall explain the reasons for the exclusion of any shareholder proposals not included in the agenda.
Article 3
For each shareholders’ meeting, a shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting by providing the proxy form issued by the Company and stating the scope of the proxy's authorization.
A shareholder may issue only one proxy form and appoint only one proxy for any given shareholders meeting, and shall deliver the proxy form to the Company before 5 days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate proxy forms are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail; unless a declaration is made to cancel the previous proxy appointment.
After a proxy form has been delivered to the Company, if the shareholder intends to attend the meeting in person or to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronically, a written notice of proxy cancellation shall be submitted to the Company before 2 business days before the meeting date. If the cancellation notice is submitted after that time, votes cast at the meeting by the proxy shall prevail.
Article 4
The venue for a shareholders’ meeting shall be the premises of the Company, or
- 89 -
a place easily accessible to shareholders and suitable for a shareholders meeting. The meeting may begin no earlier than 9 a.m. and no later than 3 p.m.
Article 5
The Company shall specify in its shareholders’ meeting notices the time during which shareholder attendance registrations will be accepted, the place to register for attendance and other matters for attention.
The time during which shareholder attendance registrations will be accepted, as stated in the preceding paragraph, shall be at least 30 minutes prior to the time the meeting commences. The place at which attendance registrations are accepted shall be clearly marked and a sufficient number of suitable personnel assigned to handle the registrations.
Shareholders and their proxies (collectively, "shareholders") shall attend shareholders’ meetings based on attendance cards, sign-in cards or other certificates of attendance. The Company may not arbitrarily add requirements for other documents beyond those showing eligibility to attend presented by shareholders. Solicitors soliciting proxy forms shall also bring identification documents for verification.
The Company shall furnish attending shareholders with the meeting agenda book, annual report, attendance card, speaker’s slips, voting slips, and other meeting materials. Where there is an election of directors or supervisors, pre-printed ballots shall also be furnished.
When the government or a juristic person is a shareholder, it may be represented by more than one representative at a shareholders meeting. When a juristic person is appointed to attend as proxy, it may designate only one person to represent it in the meeting.
Article 6
If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the Chairman. When the Chairman is on leave or for any reason is unable to exercise the powers of the chairperson, one of the directors shall be appointed to act as chair. Where the Chairman does not make such a designation, the directors shall select from among themselves one person to serve 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 Chairman 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
- 90 -
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 related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders meeting in a non-voting capacity.
Article 7
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.
The recorded materials of the preceding paragraph shall be retained for at least 1 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 8
Attendance at shareholders’ meetings shall be calculated based on the number of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the sign-in cards handed in, and if written or electronic method is adopted for the exercise of voting rights, then it shall be counted 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 1 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 Paragraph 1 of Article 175 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders meeting shall be convened within 1 month. However, for special resolutions specified in the Company Act or other laws or articles of incorporation, such restrictions shall not be applied. When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may re-submit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders’ meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act.
- 91 -
Article 9
If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors. 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.
After the end of a meeting and after the chair declares the meeting adjourned, shareholders shall not further elect a chair to continue the meeting at the original site or at another place.
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 and call for a vote.
Article 10
Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number and shareholders’ name or 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 chairperson shall stop any violation. When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to
- 92 -
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 11
- 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 3 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 12
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 Subparagraph 3 of Article 157 and Paragraph 2 of179 of the Company Act. When the Company holds a shareholders’ meeting, it may allow the shareholders to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means. 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 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 2 days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall
- 93 -
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 2 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. Within two days after the conclusion of the meeting, 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 alternative to a proposal, the chairperson 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 have the identity of shareholders of the Company.
Vote counting for shareholders’s 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.
Article 13
When there is any election of directors or supervisors at a shareholders meeting, such election shall be held in accordance with the Regulations for Election of Directors and Supervisors established by the Company.
Article 14
- 94 -
Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes. The meeting minutes shall be signed or sealed by the chair of the meeting and a copy distributed to each shareholder within 20 days after the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting minutes may be produced and distributed in electronic form.
The Company may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the Market Observation Post System (MOPS).
The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the chairperson’s full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their results, and shall be retained for the duration of the existence of the Company.
Article 15
On the day of a shareholders’ meeting, the Company shall compile in the prescribed format a statistical statement of the number of shares obtained by solicitors through solicitation and the number of shares represented by proxies, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at the place of the shareholders meeting.
If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation regulations, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.
Article 16
Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders’ meeting shall wear identification cards or arm bands.
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.
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 chairperson’s correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chairperson may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.
Article 17
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,
- 95 -
the meeting will be resumed.
If the meeting venue is no longer available for continued use and not all of the items (including extraordinary motions) on the meeting agenda have been addressed, the shareholders’ meeting may adopt a resolution to resume the meeting at another venue.
A resolution may be adopted at a shareholders’ meeting to defer or resume the meeting within 5 days in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act.
