(Continued on Next Page)
10
-
A. The exercise price, the valuation percentage, the bases of calculations, and the reasonableness: The exercise price is 60% of the simple average closing price of the common shares for either the 1, 3, or 5 business days (temporary reference price) before the price determination date. The current exercise price of transferring treasury shares to employees is NT$ 20 dollars per share (calculated based on the simple average closing price NT$ 33.66 per share of the common shares for 5 business days before March 14, 2019 multiplied by 60%).

-
(b). The purpose: To motivate employees and retain talents for the purpose of enhancing cohesion

-
(ii). Dilution of the Company's earnings per share: Dilution of earnings per share = Expensable amount / Current number of outstanding shares = NT$ 0.10
-
(Continued on Next Page)
12
-
(b). Explain what financial burden will be imposed on the Company by transferring shares to employees at less than the average actual share repurchase price:
- For the Company to transfer shares to employees at less than the average actual share repurchase price, the estimated gap between the exercise price and the repurchase price is NT$ 14,960 thousand. Since there is no capital surplus generated from transaction of treasury shares, after deducted the expensable amount of NT$ 14,550, the unappropriated retained earnings will be offset by NT$ 410 thousand. The unappropriated retained earnings on the account is NT$ 150,337 thousand after distribution of 2018 earnings, which is still higher than the aforesaid gap. Considering the Company’s working capital will increase by NT$ 20,000 thousand after transferring of treasury shares to employees and the Company is now remain profitable, it will cause no critical financial burden.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CHC Healthcare Group
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of CHC Healthcare Group (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with this Code. We believe 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 parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
25
Key audit matters on the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:
Assessment of investments accounted for using equity method
Refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policy on investments accounted for using equity method, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method, and Note 6(4) for details of investments accounted for using equity method.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, Chiu Ho Medical System Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“Chiu Ho Medical System Group”), recognised investments accounted for using equity method and investment income amounting to NT$3,395,576 thousand and NT$109,233 thousand, respectively. Because Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s investments accounted for using equity method constituted 44% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2018, and investment income constituted 40% of the Company’s profit before tax for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are significant to the Company’s financial statements, we identified assessment of investments accounted for using equity method as a key audit matter as well as the key audit matters, impairment assessment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment included in Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s financial statements. The key audit matters in relation to Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:
Impairment assessment of goodwill
Description
As of December 31, 2018, Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s goodwill arising from business combination amounted to NT$150,617 thousand. After identifying the smallest cash generating unit which can generate independent cash flows, Chiu Ho Medical System Group used the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit to assess whether goodwill may be impaired. Since the assumptions that management used to assess whether goodwill is impaired involve subjective judgement and have high uncertainty, we considered the impairment assessment of goodwill as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
A. Obtained an understanding of whether the management identifies the objective evidence of
26
goodwill impairment by following the procedure and taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and confirmed whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Obtained the report on the valuation of the subsidiary issued by an expert as per the management’s request and performed the following:
-
(1) Assessed the independence, objectiveness and competence by reviewing the expert’s qualification.
-
(2) Assessed whether the valuation model is reasonable based on our knowledge of the Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s businesses and industry.
-
(3) Confirmed whether the expert uses the same future cash flows relative to the budget for the next five years provided by the management.
-
(4) Checked whether the comparable assets adopted in appraisal report are consistent with the actual operation.
-
(5) Assessed whether the significant assumptions applied by the expert are relevant and reasonable and tested the mathematical accuracy.
Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment
Description
Some of Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s leasing businesses were not as profitable as expected due to fierce competition in healthcare industry. The Chiu Ho Medical System Group assesses the impairment based on the estimated recoverable amounts of leasing assets (shown as property, plant and equipment) where there is an indication that they are impaired. Given that the calculation of recoverable amounts requires significant accounting estimates relying upon subjective judgement and uncertainty, we consider the impairment assessment of leasehold assets using the cash-generating units as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Obtained an understanding of whether the management identifies the objective evidence of impairment by following the procedure and taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and confirmed whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Acquired the asset appraisal report issued by an expert as per the management’s request and
27
performed the following:
-
(1) Assessed the expert’s independence, objectiveness and competence by reviewing the expert’s qualification.
-
(2) Assessed whether the valuation method is widely adopted and appropriate based on our knowledge of the Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s businesses and industry.
-
(3) Confirmed whether the replacement cost, comparative objects and the assets’ use indicated on the appraisal report truthfully reflect the actual operation.
-
(4) Assessed whether the significant assumptions applied by the expert is relevant and reasonable and tested the mathematical accuracy.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and for such internal controls as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only 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.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS 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
28
of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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 controls.
-
B. Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 controls.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. 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 auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only 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 controls that we identify during our audit.
29
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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our report unless the 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.
For and on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan March 22, 2019
The accompanying parent company only financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China.

Accordingly, the accompanying parent company only financial statements and report of independent accountants are not intended for use by those who are not informed about the accounting principles or auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, and their applications in practice.
As the financial statements are the responsibility of the management, PricewaterhouseCoopers cannot accept any liability for the use of, or reliance on, the English translation or for any errors or misunderstandings that may derive from the translation.

REPRESENTATION LETTER
The entities that are required to be included in the combined financial statements of CHC Healthcare Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, under the Criteria Governing the Preparation of Affiliation Reports, Consolidated Business Reports and Consolidated Financial Statements of Affiliated Enterprises are the same as those included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements.” In addition, the information required to be disclosed in the combined financial statements is included in the consolidated financial statements. Consequently, CHC Healthcare Group and Subsidiaries do not prepare a separate set of combined financial statements.
Very truly yours,
CHC HEALTHCARE GROUP

Pei-Lin Lee Chairman

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of CHC Healthcare Group
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CHC Healthcare Group and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAS”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our
38
opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:
Impairment assessment of goodwill
Description
As of December 31, 2018, the Group generated goodwill of NT$150,617 thousand as the result of a merger with Shih-Lu Co., Ltd.
After identifying the smallest cash generating unit which can generate independent cash flows, the Group used the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit to assess whether goodwill may be impaired. Since the assumptions that management used to assess whether goodwill is impaired involve subjective judgement and have high uncertainty, we considered the impairment assessment of goodwill a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4(19) for the accounting policy on goodwill impairment and Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to goodwill impairment.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Obtained an understanding of whether the management identifies the objective evidence of goodwill impairment by following the procedure and taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and confirmed whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Obtained the report on the valuation of the subsidiary issued by an expert as per the management’s request and performed the following:
-
(1) Assessed the expert’s independence, objectiveness and competence by reviewing the expert’s qualification.
-
(2) Assessed whether the valuation model is reasonable based on our knowledge of the Group’s businesses and industry.
-
(3) Confirmed whether the expert uses the same future cash flows relative to the budget for the next five years provided by the management.
39
-
(4) Checked whether the comparable assets adopted in appraisal report are consistent with the actual operation.
-
(5) Assessed whether the significant assumptions applied by the expert are relevant and reasonable and tested the mathematical accuracy.
Impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment
Description
Some of the Group’s leasing businesses were not as profitable as expected due to fierce competition in healthcare industry. The Group assesses the impairment based on the estimated recoverable amounts of leasing assets (shown as property, plant and equipment) where there is an indication that they are impaired. Given that the calculation of recoverable amounts requires significant accounting estimates relying upon subjective judgement and uncertainty, we consider the impairment assessment of leasehold assets using the cash-generating units as a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4(19) for the accounting policy on asset impairment and Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty of asset impairment.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Obtained an understanding of whether the management identifies the objective evidence of impairment by following the procedure and taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and confirmed whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Acquired the asset appraisal report issued by an expert as per the management’s request and performed the following:
-
(1) Assessed the independence, objectiveness and competence by reviewing the expert’s qualification.
-
(2) Assessed whether the valuation method is widely adopted and appropriate based on our knowledge of the Group’s businesses and industry.
-
(3) Confirmed whether the replacement cost, comparative objects and the assets’ use indicated on the appraisal report truthfully reflect the actual operation.
-
(4) Assessed whether the significant assumptions applied by the expert is relevant and reasonable and tested the mathematical accuracy.
40
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of CHC Healthcare Group as at and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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.
Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 ROC GAAS 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 ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
41
-
A. 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 controls.
-
B. 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 controls.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. 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 auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. 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.
-
F. 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.
42
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.
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 of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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.

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 the attending shareholders with an attendance book to sign, or attending shareholders may hand in a sign-in card in lieu of signing in.
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, 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 7
If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the President of the Board of Directors. When the President of the Board of Directors is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the President, he/she shall appoint one of the directors to act as chair. Where the President 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 President of the Board of Directors in person and attended by a majority of the directors, and at least one member of each functional committee on behalf of the committee. The attendance shall be recorded in the meeting minutes.
If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by a party with power to convene but other than the Board of Directors, the convening party shall chair the meeting. When there are two or more such convening parties, they shall mutually select a chair from among themselves.
The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders’ meeting in a non-voting capacity.
Article 8
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 “Company Act”, the recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
Article 9
Attendance at shareholders’ meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the attendance book and sign-in cards handed in plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronically.
The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than 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 Article 175, paragraph 1 of “Company Act”; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders’ meeting shall be convened within 1 month.
When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders’ meeting pursuant to Article 174 of “Company Act”.
Article 10
If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the Board of Directors. The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting.
77
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.
Article 11
Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair.
A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.
Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair. 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 appoint relevant personnel to respond.
Article 12
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.
78
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 “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 announcement. 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 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 the Company, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, 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 “Company Act” and the Company's “Articles of Incorporation”, the approval of a proposal shall require over half of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. If no shareholders object after inquiries by the chair, proposals are also deemed approved.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company.
Vote counting for shareholders’ meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders’ meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.
Article 14
The election of directors (including independent directors) at a shareholders’ meeting shall be held in accordance with the applicable election and appointment rules adopted by the Company, and the voting results shall be announced on-site immediately, including the names of those elected as directors (including independent directors) and the numbers 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 “Company Act’, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
79
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. 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.
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, and shall be retained for the duration of the existence of the Company.
Article 16
On the day of a shareholders’ meeting, the Company 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 (or GreTai Securities Market) regulations, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.
Article 17
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 bearing the word "Proctor."
At the place of a shareholders’ meeting, if a shareholder attempts to speak through any device other than the public address equipment set up by the Company, the chair may prevent the shareholder from so doing.
When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chair's correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.
Article 18
When a meeting is in progress, the chair may announce a break based on time considerations. If a force majeure event occurs, the chair may rule the meeting temporarily suspended and announce a time when, in view of the circumstances, the meeting will be resumed.
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 “Company Act”.
Article 19
The Rule, and any amendments hereto, shall be implemented after adoption by shareholders’ meetings.
