Appendix Appendix 1

2019 Business Report

According to the estimate released by the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research on December 18, 2019, the economic growth rate for 2019 is 2.54%, which is 0.21 percentage points lower than the 2.75% of 2018, and the economic growth rate of Taiwan is estimated to be about 1.03% for 2020. In 2019, subject to the continued stalemate of the US-China trade standoff as well as weak overseas demand, global economic growth momentum has clearly weakened. However, Taiwan has benefited from factors such as the transfer of trade orders, the increase in the return and investment of Taiwanese companies, and the expansion of semiconductor equipment investment, which have driven the growth in domestic demand. The annual real GDP growth rate reached 2.99% in Q3, domestic consumption rebounded and investments increased. However, the global economic climate is full of uncertainty in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. International institutions such as the IMF, Fitch Ratings, S&P, and Goldman Sachs have lowered the global economic growth outlook for 2020. Among them, Fitch Ratings estimates 1.3% for this year's economic growth, which is about half, and is also the lowest since the financial crisis.

In terms of the international paper industry, the pulp market in 2019 is in a process of continuous accumulation and destocking, and overall, peak periods are not prosperous and demand is weak. At the same time, due to factors such as the uncertainty of the international situation and the large fluctuations in exchange rates, markets stayed on the sideline. However, since the pulp market fell from the high point in the Q3 of 2018, the supply of raw materials has been affected by the events of the Australian forest fires and the Finnish strike since the end of 2019. Pulp and paper prices are picking up and beginning to rise. Regarding waste paper, since China's issuance of the waste restriction order in Q3 of 2017, the price of waste paper in China kept rising until 2019, when the prices fell due to industries moving out because of the China-US trade factors, which caused the reduced demand for packaging. In order to avoid the impact of China's waste-restriction order on Taiwan' waste paper recycling system, the Taiwan government restricts the types and targets of waste paper imports and controls the purchase of foreign waste paper. Looking forward to 2020, the situation will continue to be affected by China's waste-restriction order and the price of waste paper products is expected to start increasing.

CHP's consolidated operating income for 2019 amounted to approximately NT$20.69 billion, which is a decrease of approximately NT$3.34 billion or a decline of about 14%, from the consolidated operating income of NT$24.03 billion in 2018. The net loss after tax in 2019 was approximately NT$245 million, compared with the profit of NT$445 million in 2018, representing a decrease of about NT$690 million. Paper production in 2019 is 371,434 metric tons, which is a decrease of 53,109 metric tons from the 424,543 metric tons produced in 2018. Domestic paper sales amounted to 197,721 metric tons and export sales amounted to 218,289, totaling 416,010 metric tons. Cardboard production was 133,072 metric tons, which is an increase of 9,865 metric tons from the 123,207 metric tons produced in 2018. Facing many uncertainties in the international economy in 2020, CHP will continue to improve product quality, strengthen the stability of raw material sources, prices, and supply, expand product application markets, and strengthen services to enhance market competitiveness. The

7

COVID-19 outbreak has impacted the market since the beginning of 2020, but it has also increased the demand for CHP's healthcare paper and healthcare paper and boxes. In addition to the increase of delivery services due to reduced outdoor activities, the development of food-safe paper is expected to accelerate.

Facing changes and challenges in the international market, CHP continues to develop environmentally friendly materials that use paper as a carrier and can be directly recycled to replace plastics, and specialty food-safe paper for food containers and packaging to lead the market in response to the worldwide trend to plastic restriction; among them, in terms of Easy Straw Paper, CHP also cooperated with international brand manufacturers at the end of 2019 to promote the Company's paper straws to the world. Moreover, the development of non-plastic paper cups and sealing paper are in the final stages of completion; these products will achieve the goal of being able to remove plastics from food containers, allowing them to be thrown into paper recycling bins.

Sustainable development is the greatest common denominator of CHP's business. The core policy of CHP is to build a sustainable, circular management system, with Recycle/Reclaim/Regenerate as its core strategy, and actively achieve the consistent production of forests, pulp, and paper, and then promote it to the specialty materials industry. In the future, in the global industrial structure, CHP hopes that it can deepen its positioning and build a service connection platform, and adhere to the "ECO" business philosophy to continue communicating with stakeholders and implementing a new circular economy blueprint, one step at a time.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and the Shareholders Chung Hwa Pulp Corporation

Opinion

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

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

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 Matter

Key audit matter is the matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on the matter.

The key audit matter identified in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Estimation of Expected Credit Loss of Accounts Receivable

The accounts receivable of the Group is material in amount. In consideration of the business volume, the recoverability of accounts receivable is not only subject to each customer’s financial condition but also management’s estimation and judgement. Therefore, the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivables was identified as a key audit matter.

The audit procedures that we performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We obtained and assessed the reasonableness of the method and the information used by management for the estimation of expected credit loss of accounts receivable.

  2. We sample-tested items in the aging report on the balance sheet date and we verified and assessed the correctness of the calculation of the expected credit loss.

  3. We analyzed and sample-tested the recoverability of the overdue receivables after the balance sheet date. We assessed the reasonableness of the expected credit loss recognized on the accounts receivable based on the customers’ historical payment record, credit limit control and overdue receivables tracking.

Emphasis of Matter

As disclosed in Notes 14 and 25 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Guangdong Dingfung Pulp & Paper Co., Ltd. acquired 100% equity of Shenzhen Jinglun Paper Co., Ltd. from fellow subsidiaries of YFY Group in the fourth quarter of 2018, and CHP International (BVI) Corporation acquired 100% equity of Syntax Communication (H.K.) Limited from fellow subsidiaries of YFY Group in the first quarter of 2019. In compliance with the “Comments on IFRS” and Interpretation 2012-301 issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation, the acquisition resulted in a joint control restructuring. Therefore, in the preparation of comparative consolidated financial statements, the acquisition was disclosed as if it had occurred before January 1, 2018, and the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 were restated.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Chung Hwa Pulp Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with emphasis of matter paragraph.

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

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

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

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

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to

17

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

18

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Shu-Wan Lin and Shiow-Ming Shue.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and the Shareholders Chung Hwa Pulp Corporation

Opinion

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

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

Basis for Opinion

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

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matter is the matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on the matter.

The key audit matter identified in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Estimation of Expected Credit Loss of Accounts Receivable

The accounts receivable of the Company is material in amount. In consideration of the business volume, the recoverability of accounts receivable is not only subject to each customer’s financial condition but also management’s estimation and judgement. Therefore, the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivables was identified as a key audit matter.

27

The audit procedures that we performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We obtained and assessed the reasonableness of the method and the information used by management for the estimation of expected credit loss of accounts receivable.

  2. We sample-tested items in the aging report on the balance sheet date and we verified and assessed the correctness of the calculation of the expected credit loss.

  3. We analyzed and sample-tested the recoverability of the overdue receivables after the balance sheet date. We assessed the reasonableness of the expected credit loss recognized on the accounts receivable based on the customers’ historical payment record, credit limit control and overdue receivables tracking.

Emphasis of Matter

As disclosed in Notes 4 and 12 to the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s subsidiary Guangdong Dingfung Pulp & Paper Co., Ltd. acquired 100% equity of Shenzhen Jinglun Paper Co., Ltd. from fellow subsidiaries of YFY Group in the fourth quarter of 2018, and CHP International (BVI) Corporation acquired 100% equity of Syntax Communication (H.K.) Limited from fellow subsidiaries of YFY Group in the first quarter of 2019. In compliance with the “Comments on IFRS” and Interpretation 2012-301 issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation, the acquisition resulted in a joint control restructuring. Therefore, in the preparation of comparative financial statements, the acquisition was disclosed as if it had occurred before January 1, 2018, and the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 were restated.

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

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

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

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

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally

28

accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

29

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Shu-Wan Lin and Shiow-Ming Shue.

This Corporation 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. Shareholders meetings that are convened by the Chairman shall be chaired by the Chairman. If the Chairman is unable to perform such duties due to a leave of absence or any other reason, the Chairman may appoint one of the directors to act on the Chairman's behalf. If the Chairman does not appoint a delegate, one shall be elected by the directors from among them.

If the Meeting is chaired by a director other than the Chairman, it shall be one who is familiar with the Company's business and financial status and that had been appointed more than six months prior. The same shall be true for a representative of a juristic person director that serves as chairperson.

It is advisable that shareholders meetings convened by the board of directors be chaired by the Chairman of the Board in person, attended by a majority of directors, at least one independent director in person, and at least one member of each functional committee on behalf of the committee. The attendance shall be recorded in the meeting minutes.

The recorded materials of the preceding paragraph shall be retained for at least 1 year. If, however, a

53

shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the 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 chairperson 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 chairperson 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 chairperson 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 the 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 chairperson may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act.

  • Article 10. If a shareholders' meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be decided by the board of directors. Relevant motions (including extraordinary motions and amendments to the original motion) should be voted on on a case-by-case basis. The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders' meeting. However, extraordinary motions should be proposed within the scope permitted by law, within the time limit when the chairperson puts the matter before all shareholders present at the meeting, and can only be included in the agenda after receiving approval from the attending shareholders in accordance with legal procedures.

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.

Unless by the resolution of the shareholders' meeting, the chairperson may not declare the meeting ended until all items on the agenda (including extraordinary motions) arranged in the preceding two paragraphs have been completed. The shareholders cannot designate any other person as chairperson and continue the meeting in the same or another place after the meeting is adjourned. If the chairperson 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 chairperson in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.

The chairperson 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 chairperson is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chairperson may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and arrange an adequate voting time.

  • 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 chairperson.

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 chairperson, 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 chairperson 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 chairperson and the shareholder that has the floor; the chairperson 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 chairperson may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.

  • Article 12. Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares.

54

With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.

When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of this Corporation, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.

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

With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3 percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.

  • Article 13. A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.

When the Corporation holds a shareholders meeting, it may allow the shareholders to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means. The method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. Shareholders exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person. However, shareholders will be deemed to have waived their rights with respect to extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting.

A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Corporation 2 days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.

After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to this Corporation, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before 2 business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.

Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the 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 chairperson or a person designated by the chairperson 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 chairperson shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.

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

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

  • Article 14. 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 number of votes with which they were elected. The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least 1 year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.

  • Article 15. Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes. The

55

meeting minutes shall be signed or sealed by the chairperson 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.

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

The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the chairperson's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their results (including statistical weights). When directors are elected, the number of votes for each candidate should be disclosed. The minutes shall be kept permanently throughout the life of the Corporation.

  • Article 16. On the day of a shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall compile in the prescribed format a statistical statement of the number of shares obtained by solicitors through solicitation and the number of shares represented by proxies, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at the place of the shareholders meeting.

  • If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation regulations, this Corporation shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.

  • Article 17. Staff handling administrative affairs of the shareholders' meeting shall wear identification badges or arm-bands.

The chairperson 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 this Corporation, the chairperson may prevent the shareholder from so doing.

When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chairperson's correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chairperson may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.

  • Article 18. When a meeting is in progress, the chairperson may announce a break based on time considerations. If a force majeure event occurs, the chairperson 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 the Company Act.

  • Article 19. These Rules, and any amendments hereto, shall be implemented after adoption by shareholders meetings.

  1. The voting power at the Company's shareholder meetings shall be exercised by way of electronic transmission and may be exercised in writing, provided that the method for exercising the voting power shall be described in the shareholder meeting notice to be given to the shareholders if the voting power will be exercised in writing or by way of electronic transmission. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic transmission will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, provided that, his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting are deemed to have been waived.

A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic transmission under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company no less than two days before the date of the shareholder 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.

In case there is no vice chairperson or the vice chairperson is also on leave or absent or unable to exercise his/her power and authority for any cause, the chairperson of the Board shall designate one of the managing directors, or where there are no managing directors, one of the directors to act on his/her behalf.
