II. Outline of 2023 business plan and future development strategy
Starting from the blue brimless ocean of Kenting, the bright sunshine has nurtured the friendly character of Château Hotels & Resorts conveying a touching feel. In 2018, the company launched a new brand “Hotel Chateau”, with the main axis of “roaming around the new city with you”, providing all travelers with a “comfortable, enjoyable and friendly” accommodation experience. The first stop is located in Tainan Castle Town, which is full of history, culture and humanity. The hotel combines the leisure atmosphere of the Château Hotels & Resorts with the cultural and scenic features of Castle Town to create 104 comfortable rooms, diversified dining spaces and new living complexes, fusing humanity and fashion, and sensing the new experience of multi-level energy-saving and carbon-reducing green energy.
In addition to adding the ancient city of Tainan and culinary tours to provide more diversified choices for our guests, our company continues to make efforts to combine the local characteristics of culture and natural resources by participating in the special activities in Kenting organized by the Kenting National Park Administration and cooperating with various community development associations in Hengchun to promote eco-tourism itineraries; we also actively cooperate with the Pingtung Forestry Administration of the Pingtung County Forestry Bureau to promote the special ecology of the Hengchun Peninsula and In the promotion of eco-education policy. Through the Shuangliu Nature Education Center of the Forestry Bureau, we integrate the ecological and humanistic environment, conduct eco-tourism study activities, train internal lecturers, and
-9-
promote environmental and ecological conservation; actively use “tourism” as an “integration platform”, and strengthen the results of cross-region and crossindustry integration links through cross-region, integration, linkage, and alliance, and develop in-depth value-added tourism.
Château Beach Resort will carry out equipment upgrades in 2024, including an investment of 9,173(in Thousands of NTD) in energy-saving equipment to improve the air-conditioning cooling water tower and Porro hot water energysaving system. It is expected that the total future benefit will save 36.68kloe of oil equivalent per year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 136.6 tons per year. Among them, the Positano Pavilion’s air-conditioning cooling tower renovation project has an investment of 2,700(in Thousands of NTD) to improve airconditioning efficiency, save electricity, and thereby reduce carbon emissions. In addition, we have applied to the Ministry of Economic Affairs for the service industry system energy-saving project subsidy "Provence Hot Water Equipment Energy-Saving Equipment Project" in 2023. The company will invest 6,473(in Thousands of NTD) to replace diesel boiler equipment with hot water system energy-saving equipment. It is expected that the total future benefits will save 36.68kloe of oil equivalent per year and reduce carbon emissions by 136.6 tons per year.
In order to receive tourists with a new look, the subsidiary, Château Rich Hotel, has been renovated in 2021 and is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2023. Mainly for the renovation of the guest rooms, addition of the bakery department, the coffee bar and the recreation room (gym). The number of rooms has been increased from 54 to 93 and 61 beds have been added for backpackers, offering a wide range of rooms at low, medium and high prices. In order to increase the added value of the hotel and the source of revenue from food and beverage, a bakery department, a coffee bar and a recreation room (gym) are planned to be added, hoping that the hotel will become the first choice when left off at Tainan Railway Station (Tainan Chihkan Cultural Zone) in the future.
III. The effect on the company from external competitive environment, regulatory environment and overall business environment
According to the latest forecast released by the Taiwan Economic Research Institute (TEI) in January 2024, the domestic economic growth rate in 2024 was 3.15%. Due to the impact of politics, high inflation and climate change, domestic interest rates have been raised several times to combat inflation. As the government's public construction budget reaches a new high in 2024, which will help drive the domestic economy, and the number of people coming to Taiwan has not yet recovered to the pre-epidemic number, domestic consumption is expected to increase again.
IV. Future Development Strategy
On the basis of sustainable development and SDGs, sustainable tourism has become one of the key themes. The tourism industry is known as a no-smoke industry, but before the epidemic, the dense flow of travelers and rapid growth
-10-
also caused carbon emissions and various environmental pollution. When the epidemic is becoming normal and the world's borders are gradually opening up, sustainable tourism is once again being valued.
We believe that the most important value of sustainability is the mentality and behavior that can be imagined for the future, and it is also a gift that you and I can leave behind. In order to cooperate with the government's people-oriented and create a balanced development of LOHAS home, we experience local culture and food through in-depth tourism. It is hoped that through local tourism, ecotourism and green tourism, re-empowering tourism will become a positive action.
In the future, while striving to generate greater profits, the company will continue to uphold the spirit of giving back to the community by participating in community development and charity-related activities. We believe that with the efforts of our management team, we will be able to achieve our goals. Once again, we thank our shareholders for their long-term support and guidance.

The accountant's responsibility for auditing the consolidated financial statements
The purpose of this accountant's audit of the consolidated financial statements is to obtain reasonable conviction as to whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole contain any material misrepresentation due to fraud or errors, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of certainty, but the audit work performed in accordance with the auditing standards cannot guarantee that material misrepresentation in the consolidated financial statements will be detected. Misrepresentation may result from fraud or errors. If the untruthful individual amounts or aggregate can be reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial statements, they are considered significant.
The accountant uses professional judgment and maintains professional suspicion when conducting audits in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. The accountant also performs the following tasks:
-
Identify and evaluate the risks of material misrepresentation in the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or errors; design and implement appropriate countermeasures for the assessed risks; and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis for audit opinion. Because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, deliberate omission, false statement or violation of internal control, the risk of not detecting material misrepresentation caused by fraud is higher than that caused by errors.
-
Obtain the necessary understanding of the internal control relevant to the audit in order to design an appropriate audit procedure under the circumstances, but its purpose is not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of Château Hotels & Resorts.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures.
-

If the accountant believes that there are significant uncertainties in these events or circumstances, he must remind the users of the financial statements in the audit report to pay attention to the relevant disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, or amend the audit opinion when such disclosures are inappropriate. The accountant’s conclusion is based on the audit evidence obtained as of the audit report date, but future events or circumstances may cause Château Hotels & Resorts to no longer have the ability to continue operations.
-
Evaluate the overall expression, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the consolidated financial
-22-
Annex 5 【 】
statements are appropriate to express relevant transactions and events.
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of the constituent entities in Château Hotels & Resorts to express opinions on the consolidated financial statement. The accountant is responsible for the guidance, supervision and execution of the group's audit cases, and is responsible for forming the group's audit opinion.
The matters communicated between the accountant and the governing body include the planned audit scope and time, as well as major audit findings (including significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit process).
The accountant also provides the governing body with a statement that the personnel of the accountant’s affairs subject to independence regulations have complied with the independence of code of professional ethics, and communicates with the governance unit all relationships and other matters that may be considered to affect the independence of the accountant (including relevant protective measures).

-57-
postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made.

Article 8: (Discussion of proposals)
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 chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders meeting.

The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair. The chairman (or his or her designee) will call out the names in order before the attending shareholder can speak.
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 (including a natural person and a juristic person) 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
-58-
same proposal. In the event of a dispute or uncertainty among the delegates, the chairman may designate one of the delegates to speak, and any second person or more shall be deemed not to have spoken.
After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
If a shareholders' meeting is convened by video conference, shareholders participating by video conference may ask questions by text on the video conference platform after the chairman announces the meeting and before the meeting is adjourned, with the number of questions per motion not to exceed two and each time limited to 200 words; provided that it does not apply to the provisions in Paragraph 1 to 5.
If the aforementioned question does not violate the regulations or is within the scope of the motion, it is appropriate to disclose the question on the video conference platform of the shareholders' meeting for public information.
If a person violates the provisions of these rules regarding speech, his or her speech shall be considered as not having been delivered, and the chairman may stop his or her speech, and the speech shall not be included in the record of proceedings, and shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of Article 15.
Article 10: (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 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 11: (Motion voting, vote monitoring and vote counting)
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 that meeting; it is therefore advisable that this Corporation avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals.
A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic
-59-
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 or by video conference, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to this Corporation, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before two business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in this Corporation’s articles of incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders.
At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of this Corporation.
The counting of votes for a shareholders' meeting resolution or an election proposal shall be done openly in the venue of the shareholders' meeting, and the voting results, including the number of votes counted, shall be announced and recorded on the spot after the counting of votes is completed.
When the Company convenes a shareholders' meeting by video conference, the shareholders participating by video conference shall vote on each motion and election motion through the video conference platform after the chairman announces the opening of the meeting, and shall complete the voting before the chairman announces the closing of the voting, and any delay shall be deemed as abstention.
If the shareholders' meeting is convened by video conference, the chairman shall announce the close of the voting and announce the voting and election results for a onetime vote count.
When the Company convenes a video-assisted shareholders' meeting, shareholders who have registered to attend the shareholders' meeting by video conference in accordance with Article 6 and wish to attend the physical shareholders' meeting in person shall deregister in the same manner as they registered two days prior to the shareholders' meeting; if they deregister after that time, they may attend the shareholders' meeting by video conference only.
Those who exercise their voting rights by written or electronic means without revoking their intention and participate in the shareholders' meeting by video conference may not exercise their voting rights on the original motion or propose
-60-
amendments to the original motion or exercise their voting rights on the amendments to the original motion, except for temporary motions.
Article 12: (Matters for election)
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 of votes with which they were elected.
The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be 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 recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
