Report 1

To report 2019 operating results.

China General Plastics Corporation 2019 Business Report

In 2019, net sales increased to NT$8.392 billion by NT$144 million YoY, with a budget achievement rate of 98%. Operating income reduced to NT$177 million by NT$393 million or 69% less YoY, with a budget achievement rate of 41%. Non-operating income was NT$512 million, and annual net income reduced to NT$643 million by NT$633 million YoY, with a budget achievement rate of 68%. Look back at the operations of 2019:

Raw materials: Ethylene: The Asian ethylene price has been impacted by the mass production and sales of by-products of US suppliers who wantonly expanded their ethylene and ethylene-derivative capacities taking advantage over the low-price strength of their shale gas. Alongside with the operation of new ethylene capacity in Asia, the oil price plunge, and the buying desire drop due to the US-China trade war, dramatic price changes occurred occasionally as a result of production anomalies, storage and transportation imbalance, and market manipulation. In 2019, ethylene price dropped from US$1,000/MT in Q1-Q2 to below US$800/MT in Q3-Q4, where corrections began from there.

EDC: As the uptrend from 2018 continued in Q1, the price rocketed to a four-year new high in Q2. However, a plunge followed suit due to the profit drop and production cut of PVC/VCM. The EDC price rose again to around CFR300$/MT in Q3-Q4 because of the decline of both the alumina and papermaking industries, the continued price downturn of sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) due to low sales, and redundancy of expansion of the chlor alkali process.

VCM: Supply was rather sufficient after new capacities in Asia started operations. However, the price was lower than that of the previous year as for PVC because of the rise of raw materials prices. Products:

Supply was tightened as a result of the annual maintenance of leading PVC suppliers and the conservative operations of suppliers in China

where enhanced HSE audits were performed. The annual growth in PVC import of India increased by 200MT or 12% after the cancellation of the anti-dumping tax and implementation of the economic revitalization policy. The demand of Bangladesh and the Southeast Asian countries also increased due to the order switch effect from the US-China trade war. However, due to the decline in PVC demand, European countries and the USA massively export PVC to Southeast Asia through price competitions plunging the market price. As a result, our profits were reduced significantly regardless of the revenue growth. Adhering to the spirit of Vinyl Chain vertical integration, we actively optimize production performance and maximize production-sales and constantly expand the PVC export market. The 2019 PVC output was 205,000MT, 6% more than in 2018. Sales increased by 10% to 208,000MT, with an operating income of NT$11 million. In chemicals, due to the continued price downturn of caustic soda and the low tide of the electronics industry, sales reduced by 7% to an operating income of NT$117 million. In processing products, sales of construction materials increased by 14% from last year thanks to the government’s release of infrastructure projects and the heating up of realty market. However, sales of TPU synthetic leather reduced by 10% because orders from downstream customers declined due to the tension and tariff barrier from the US-China trade war, and the low-price competition of mainland China, Mexico, India, and Southeast Asian countries. Overall, the 2019 revenue of processing products was NT$49 million.

In re-investment, TVCM’s VCM output was 448,000MT, increased by 3,000MT YoY, with a budget achievement rate of 101%. Sales were 449,000MT, 2,000MT less YoY, with a budget achievement rate of 101% and a profit of NT$433 million. In addition, CGPCPOL’s PVC output was 204,000MT, 4,000MT less YoY, with a budget achievement rate of 100%. Sales were 217,000 MT, increased by 6,000MT YoY, with a budget achievement rate of 101% and a profit of NT$41 million. Business Outlook 2020

Raw materials: Ethylene, Price fluctuation is expected in Q1-Q2 due to the unbalanced supply-demand and storage-transportation from the annual maintenance of ethylene plants in Asia. Mass production of large crackers in the USA and Asia will start in Q3-Q4, and alongside with the improvement in loading capacity of US ethylene cruisers, the ethylene supply will be higher than the demand again, leading to another price drop. In EDC, the caustic soda price will continue to run

high as suppliers are reluctant to expand the chlor alkali process due to the continued downturn the caustic soda demand and alkali price. However, repeated production disruption due to accidents was the main cause of price changes in the last year. Currently, apart from Braskem of Brazil that has recovered production, as EDC consumption will reduce in Q1 due to the annual maintenance of some US PVC and VCM suppliers, there will be surplus for sales. LG of South Korea has expanded the capacity of its chlor alkali process/EDC process to increase EDC supply. Chinese suppliers also switch to self-production of EDC due to the low ethylene price, lowering the import. All these will reduce the EDC price in 2020. In VCM, it is expected that the price will rise as the supply reduces in Q1 because many suppliers are in annual maintenance. After that, the VCM price will fluctuate alongside with the PVC price.

Products: In early 2020, PVC stock will be relatively low, the PVC demand in emerging markets will remain high and the PVC capacity from the calcium carbide process will reduce due to China’s enhanced HSE audits. All these will benefit the positive development of PVC/VCM prices. In addition, as the raw materials supply is expected to be better than that of 2019, profit is expected. However, it is necessary to keep close track on the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and this Company’s countermeasures.

To pursue sustainable development, both this Company and our subsidiaries proactively enhance VCM/PVC capacity. Before the Spring Festival, the competent authorities granted the operation permit for different USI affiliates: VCM capacity of 485,000 MT/year for TVCM, PVC capacity of 220,000 MT/year for CGPCPOL, and PVBC capacity of 230,000 MT/year for CGPC. CGPC’s Toufen Plant also initiates equipment replacement by purchasing new PVC automatic packaging/stacking/filming equipment and building the automatic storage retrieval system for reengineering to enhance overall operating performance. The plant will also implement the ISO-50001 energy management system to further reduce energy consumption and the process safety management (PSM) system to ensure operation safety. In addition, the plant will pro-actively develop highly value-added and differentiated products. To make more space for profit-making through an overall planning of the overall vinyl industrial chain, the management team will make employ the vertical integration

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders China General Plastics Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of China General Plastics Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China on February 25, 2020, and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. We conducted our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters identified in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:

Validity of Specific Revenue

The amount of revenue derived from certain customers was NT$2,455,764 thousand, representing 29% of total revenue of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019. These customers were all distributor, and their growth rate of revenue is significantly higher compared to the average growth rate of revenue. Therefore, we identified the validity of revenue derived from these customers as a key audit matter.

For the accounting policy related to the validity of the revenue derived from these customers, refer to Notes 4 and 20 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

- 21 -

The main audit procedures that we performed to assess the validity of revenue derived from the above-mentioned specific customers are as follows:

  1. We understood the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal control and confirmed the validity of revenue recognition derived from the above-mentioned customers.

  2. We sampled the transaction documents related to revenue derived from the above-mentioned customers, including sales order, shipping, customs and receipt documents, and verified that the revenue was recognized upon completion of the performance obligation.

  3. We sampled sales returns, provisions and cash collections which have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date and verified the reasonableness of revenue recognition.

Valuation of Inventory

As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of the Company’s inventory was NT$711,140 thousand (i.e., the gross amount of inventory of NT$749,430 thousand with a deduction of the allowance for inventory valuation of NT$38,290 thousand), representing 7% of the Company’s total assets. As the Company’s inventory was stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value in accordance with IAS 2 “Inventories”, which involved critical judgment and accounting estimates by the management, we identified the valuation of inventory as a key audit matter.

Refer to Notes 4, 5 and 10 to the Company’s financial statements for the related accounting policies and disclosures on inventory valuation.

The main audit procedures that we performed for valuation of inventory are as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the reasonableness of the Company’s policies and methods of the allowance for inventory valuation.

  2. By performing a year-end inventory observation, we understood the inventory status and evaluated the reasonableness of the allowance for inventory valuation.

  3. We tested the inventory aging and net realizable value report used in valuation, including verification of the completeness, net realizable value and recalculation of the accuracy of the reports. In addition, we also performed the retrospective test to verify the validity of the impairment items and value decline in subsequent period.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

- 22 -

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

- 23 -

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsiu-Chun Huang and Cheng-Chun Chiu.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of China General Plastics Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

- 31 -

The key audit matters identified in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:

Validity of Specific Revenue

The amount of revenue derived from certain customers was NT$3,509,113 thousand, representing 23% of total revenue of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2019. These customers were all distributors, and their growth rate of revenue is significantly higher compared to the average growth rate of revenue. Therefore, we identified the validity of the revenue derived from these customers has been identified as a key audit matter.

For the accounting policy related to the validity of the revenue derived from these customers, refer to Notes 4 and 26 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The main audit procedures that we performed to assess the validity of the revenue derived from the abovementioned specific customers are as follows:

  1. We understood the designed and tested operating effectiveness of internal control and confirmed the validity of revenue recognition derived from the above-mentioned customers.

  2. We sampled the transaction documents related to revenue derived from the above-mentioned customers, including sales order, shipping, customs and receipt documents, and verified verify that the revenue was recognized upon completion of the performance obligation.

  3. We sampled sales returns, provisions and cash collections which have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date and verified the reasonableness of revenue recognition.

Valuation of Inventory

As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of the Group’s inventory was NT$1,469,212 thousand (i.e., the gross amount of inventory of NT$1,551,532 thousand with a deduction of the allowance for inventory valuation of NT$82,320 thousand), representing 12% of the Group’s total assets. As the Group’s inventory was stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value in accordance with IAS 2 “Inventories”, which involved critical judgment and accounting estimates by the management, we identified the valuation of inventory has been identified as a key audit matter.

Refer to Notes 4, 5 and 11 to the Group’s financial statements for the related accounting policies and disclosures on inventory valuation.

The main audit procedures that we performed for valuation of inventory are as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the reasonableness of the Group’s policies and methods of the allowance for inventory valuation.

  2. By performing a year-end inventory observation, we understood the inventory status and evaluated the reasonableness of the allowance for inventory valuation.

  3. We tested the inventory aging and net realizable value report used in valuation, including verification of the completeness, net realizable value and recalculation of the accuracy of the reports. In addition, we also performed the retrospective test to verify the validity of the impairment items and value decline in subsequent period.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of China General Plastics Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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

Management 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 Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the audit committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

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:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 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.

- 33 -
  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with statements that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation preludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsiu-Chun Huang and Cheng-Chun Chiu.

Proposed by the Board

To approve the capitalization on stock dividends.

Description 1. To enrich operating capital, this proposal is made to have the stock dividends NT$263,514,960 to be issued 26,351,496 new shares, par value at NT$10 per share, to increase capital NT$263,514,960.

The Chairman is authorized to contact specified person(s) to subscribe the uncombined fractional shares that are not combined at the face value and distribute such dividends in cash.

  3. The rights and obligations of the new shares will be the - 45 -

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

 - 51 -

of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned.

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 and call for a vote. The time for voting shall be sufficient.

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

 - 52 -

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

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

With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 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 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 this Corporation 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

 - 53 -

that meeting.

A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to this Corporation before 2 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 this Corporation, 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 this Corporation's articles of incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS. When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.

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

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

The election of directors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the applicable election and appointment rules adopted by this Corporation, and the voting results shall be announced on-site immediately, including the names of those elected as directors and the numbers

 - 54 -

of votes with which they were elected.

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 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 15

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. This Corporation may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the MOPS.

The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the chair's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their results of resolution (including a record made of the vote); where there is an election of directors, shall record the number of the vote for each candidate who is nominated and the minutes shall be retained for the duration of the existence of this Corporation.

Article 16

Article 17

(Maintaining order at the meeting place)
