CHC Healthcare Group 2020 Business Report
Dear Shareholders:
Thank you for your support and advice to CHC Healthcare Group, enabling the Group to have steady development under such severe macro-environment conditions. Despite the territorial impact of COVID-19 on the world, with the efforts of all employees, the Group has achieved a significant improvement on the gross margin and a double-digit net profit margin in 2020. The Group strongly believes the sustainable operation of a corporation required economic foundations and will continue the business expansion in the future, to create the best interests for the shareholders and employees.
1. 2020 business operation results
(1). 2020 business plan implementation
2020 consolidated operating revenue was NT$ 2,554,911 thousand, lower than NT$ 2,950,052 thousand reported in 2019, mainly due to the decline in the sales volume of equipment. 2020 profit for the year was NT$ 362,912 thousand, which decreased comparing with profit for the year NT$ 390,431 in 2019, mainly because of the increase in wages and salaries and depreciation charge. The consolidated operating results for the year 2020 are as follows:

- (4). R&D status
The Group is not in the manufacturing industry and therefore does not have a dedicated R&D department. However, since 2018, the Group has engaged in the “IROIP*[Note] (Integrated Radiation Oncology Information Platform) Development Program”, technology research and development programs supported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, to build an information platform that can integrate the information regarding patient treatment in both Hospital Information System (HIS) and Oncology Information System (OIS). The program was completed in 2020, and the product developed has been officially launched to the market.
- *Note: The product has been renamed as "Integrated Radiation Oncology Information System (iROIS)" due to marketing consideration.
2. 2021 business plan outline
- (1). Product development strategy
The Group has long been committed to introducing high-end medical equipment and technologies to improve the quality of medical treatment at home. In recent years, the Group has further engaged in precision medicine and introduced the proton therapy system, MRI linear accelerator, etc., aimed at protecting normal tissues to the maximum extent while eliminating tumors. The Group also brought in HAL® (Hybrid Assistive Limb®) for medical use which obtained CE marking of the European Union and FDA marketing clearance of the United States, and already launched in three primary markets – Europe, the United States, and Japan. It is expected to benefit patients in need in Taiwan due to its positive effect on the rehabilitation of spinal cord injury and stroke.
In the future, in addition to maintaining a stable partnership with major international medical equipment manufacturers, the Group will actively recruit new products through various exhibitions to enrich the product line. Also, the existing sales channels will be efficiently performed to bring in further incomes for the Group, achieving a three-win situation among the Group, the patients, and the medical institutions.
- (2). Medical management service guideline
The Group has developed a full range of medical management services from medical site planning, design and construction, medical equipment installation and testing, division management and operation consulting, medical technician training, to equipment maintenance and subsequent upgrade services. The key for medical management service to be rooted in Taiwan and to be extended to the overseas market is that the Group has a professional technical team certified by the manufacturers. Instant and high-quality technical support together with flexible and innovative cooperation models helps the Group to form differentiated competitiveness, thereby strengthening the Group's relationship with both customers and suppliers. In the future, the Group will continue to train the technical team to extend the depth and breadth of medical management services to facilitate the business expansion.
15
(3). Overseas market operations
In China, a business model combined with sales and medical management services is adopted by the Group. In addition to introducing high-end medical equipment to make up for the lack of local medical resources, the Group has also established partnerships with several large medical institutions in China to help improve their medical management processes and increase hospital revenue. The Group will use the collaborative sites as demo sites to negotiate other projects subsequently, and meanwhile, learn about the trend of China's policy and market overview to provide more comprehensive and multifaceted integrated services.
In Southeast Asia, the Group has successfully assisted the first hospital under Mayapada Hospital Group to establish a radiation oncology department, which is now in operation for the treatment of cancer patients. In the future, the Group will continue to provide medical management services, aiming to help Southeast Asian countries improve medical quality and cultivate medical talents.
(4). Diversified expansion
The Group does pay attention to external environmental changes and market trends and has diversified its business to various fields taking the medical industry as a starting point to improve the overall health and well-being of human beings. Facing the advent of the big data era, the Group successfully developed iROIS, an application platform that connects HIS and OIS. Through horizontal information integration, it helps improve clinical operation efficiency and optimize operating procedures. In response to the aging trend, the Group has cooperated with Sakurajyuji Group in Japan to engage in Taiwan’s elderly care market, focusing on continuous care and advocating preventive medicine, hoping to improve the quality and dignity of elderly life in Taiwan. Sensing the rising awareness of safety and health, the Group decided to step into the radiation sterilization business and plan to introduce the IBA photon irradiation and electronic irradiation sterilization system from Belgian to lead Taiwan's sterilization industry towards safety, high efficiency, and low pollution.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 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, 2020 and 2019, 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 auditors, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ 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 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 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 Company’s 2020 parent company only financial statements. 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.
20
Key audit matters for the Company’s 2020 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:
Assessment of investments accounted for using equity method
Refer to Note 4(12) 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(5) for details of investments accounted for using equity method.
As of December 31, 2020, 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$4,257,012 thousand and NT$166,415 thousand, respectively. Because Chiu Ho Medical System Group’s investments accounted for using equity method constituted 48% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2020, and investment income constituted 45% of the Company’s profit before tax for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are significant to the Company’s financial statements, we identified the 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, 2020 are stated as follows:
Impairment assessment of goodwill
Description
As of December 31, 2020, 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 arising from business combination may be impaired. Since the assumptions used by management 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 on the above key audit matter:
- A. Obtained an understanding on how management identifies the objective evidence of goodwill impairment, taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and ascertained whether
21
management uses reliable information.
-
B. Obtained the report on the valuation of the subsidiary issued by an expert appointed by the management 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 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 future years provided by the management.
-
(4) Checked whether the comparable assets adopted in the appraisal report are consistent with the actual operations.
-
(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 the 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 on subjective judgement and uncertainty, we considered 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 on how management identifies the objective evidence of impairment, taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and ascertained whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Acquired the asset appraisal report issued by an expert appointed by the management and performed the following:
22
-
(1) Assessed the independence, objectiveness and competence by reviewing the expert’s qualification.
-

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.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 the generally accepted auditing standards 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 parent company only financial statements.
23
As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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.
24
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 auditors’ report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT 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, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020 and 2019, 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. 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 Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion
32
thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s 2020 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
Impairment assessment of goodwill
Description
As of December 31, 2020, the Group generated goodwill of NT$150,617 thousand as a result of the 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 used by management to assess whether goodwill is impaired involve subjective judgment and have high uncertainty, we considered the impairment assessment of goodwill a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4(20) for the accounting policy on goodwill impairment, Note 5(2) for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to goodwill impairment and Note 6(30) for related details.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
A. Obtained an understanding on how management identifies the objective evidence of goodwill impairment, taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and ascertained whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Obtained the report on the valuation of the subsidiary issued by an expert appointed by the management 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 future years provided by the management.
-
(4) Checked whether the comparable assets adopted in appraisal report are consistent with the
33
actual operations.
- (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 the 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 on subjective judgment and uncertainty, we considered the impairment assessment of leasehold assets using the cash-generating units as a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4(20) 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 on how management identifies the objective evidence of impairment, taking into account certain factors in a consistent manner and ascertained whether the management uses reliable information.
-
B. Acquired the asset appraisal report issued by an expert appointed by the management 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 are consistent with the actual operations.
-
(4) Assessed whether the significant assumptions applied by the expert are relevant and reasonable and tested the mathematical accuracy.
34
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, 2020 and 2019.
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.
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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
35
We also:
-
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 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.
-
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.
36
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 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.

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.

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.
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
56
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.
57
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,
58
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.
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.
