Century Iron & Steel Industrial Co., Ltd.

2025 Business Report

I. Fiscal year 2025 marks the seventh year since the Century Steel Group’s management team initiated its transformation. Looking back at the past year, the central bank’s seventh round of mortgage credit controls and the restrictions on the disposal and flow of construction surplus earthworks and stone materials have had the following impact on the Group’s traditional steel structure business:

II. Offshore wind power business:

The Taoyuan plant converted approximately 80% of its original steel structure production lines into offshore wind power front-end supply chain production lines in 2021. Following three to four years of client qualification processes spanning commissioning, acceptance testing, and full operation, the plant has accumulated a substantial track record in the production of pin piles and jacket leg pipes, meeting established targets in both quality and production capacity. In consideration of the anticipated shortfall in domestic offshore wind power supply chain capacity and the need for jacket component supply, the Yunlin plant's offshore wind power production lines commenced mass production in Q3 2022 and have since been engaged in the production of jacket components for Taipower's Foxwell and Hai Long projects. The first, second and third phase of the Taipei Port's high-standard offshore wind power underwater foundation project and the Qingtian Tower I have officially started their operations for production process, such that they are able to achieve greater profits for the Company. Having overcome various operational challenges and achieved stable production, the Company has also established a substantial track record in the fabrication and assembly of large-scale jackets for Phase 3 block development. Jacket assembly represents a critical milestone in the Company's pursuit of leadership in the offshore wind power sector. Although production fell behind schedule during and after the COVID-19 pandemic due to the higher-than-anticipated difficulty and a steeper-than-expected learning curve, the wind power division adjusted its production model and overcame successive obstacles, completing the final assembly of 62 jackets ahead of schedule in June 2023. Following the completion of the two lifting towers at Taipei Port, the Company targets a phased output of eight jackets per month. Through an integrated division of labor across Group entities spanning components to final assembly, and underpinned by technical expertise and operational excellence, the Company aims to become the domestic industry leader in this segment, aligning with government policy while generating long-term sustainable profit. The Company has secured multiple turnkey contracts from major offshore wind farm developers for subsea foundation-related works and is actively pursuing orders over the next five to ten years, with the relevant supply chain partner network progressively established. Century Huaxin has commenced phased production and has entered into a technical cooperation agreement with Denmark's Welcon. Going forward, the Company will be positioned to comprehensively fulfill developer requirements across the full value chain from subsea monopiles to wind turbine towers. The timely and quality completion of jackets, together with the commencement of tower production, is expected to generate stable long-term earnings for the Company.

III. Traditional steel structure industry:

Although revenue and profit from the core steel structure business remain considerably below those of the offshore wind power segment, the government's property cooling measures have dampened the housing market. Order intake for the latter part of the year will continue to be monitored in response to evolving conditions in the construction market, with order strategy adjusted accordingly.

  • 10 -

IV. Myanmar subsidiary and asset revitalization:

Operations at the Myanmar plant have been suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and prevailing political and economic conditions. Although the global pandemic has caused significant disruption to the Myanmar subsidiary's business activities, it is believed that a stabilization of the political and economic environment in the post-pandemic era will create favorable conditions for infrastructure development and broader economic growth in Myanmar. The effectiveness of asset revitalization reached its climax when the construction of the logistics plant was completed and sold at a high price in 2019. However, the company will continue to evaluate and develop the existing assets afterwards in the hope of creating new financial resources and increasing the company's profits.

V. Indonesia Subsidiary:

The Indonesia subsidiary, located on Batam Island, is expected to complete plant construction and commence trial production in Q3 2026, with full mass production targeted for Q4 2026. Leveraging the competitive advantages of abundant professional labor at low cost and favorable site lease rates, the subsidiary is expected to contribute to the fabrication of lower leg pipes and transition pieces for wind farms including Phase 3-1 Weilan Hai and Phase 3-2 Haiguang, thereby enhancing the Company's production capacity and profitability.

VI. Building on its existing foundation and in anticipation of future industry developments, the Company remains committed to the principles of sustainable operations and profit maximization. In its core steel structure business, the Company will continue to selectively pursue projects offering favorable terms and conditions. In parallel, the Company will press forward with its strategic transformation into offshore wind power subsea foundation-related businesses, strengthening technical expertise and actively pursuing new contracts. It is the Company's intention to leverage this transformational opportunity to establish a firm position in the offshore wind power and green energy sector, catalyze the development of the associated supply chain, and deliver sustained long-term revenue growth and profitability.

VII. The following is a summary report on the Company's operating results for fiscal year 2025 and business plan for fiscal year 2026:

2025 Business Result (Consolidated Financial Statements)

(I) Business Plan Implementation Outcome

Net operating income for fiscal year 2025 was NT$14,463,065 thousand, representing a 16% increase from NT$12,474,553 thousand in fiscal year 2024, attributable primarily to the substantial ramp-up of the Fengmiao project and the commencement of the Haisheng project.

(II) Budget Implementation Status

No public financial forecast was disclosed for fiscal year 2025; accordingly, a variance analysis is not applicable.

(III) Financial Revenue/Expenditure and Profitability Analysis

  1. Fiscal year 2025 operating revenue, cost of revenue, and gross profit are summarized as follows:

Total annual net operating income: NT$14,463,065 thousand

Full-year cost of revenue: NT$10,226,967 thousand

Full-year gross profit: NT$4,236,098 thousand

  1. Fiscal year 2025 operating expenses, non-operating income, and non-operating expenses are summarized as follows:

Total annual operating expense: NT$929,060 thousand

Total annual non-operating expenses: NT$(1,465) thousand

  1. The net income before tax for 2025 was NT$3,305,573 thousand.

  2. 11 -


The net income after tax for 2025 was NT$2,657,564 thousand and earning per share of NT$6.57.

Item 2025 2024
Financial Structure Debt to total assets ratio (%) 48.92 45.63
Debt to shareholders’ equity (%) 95.78 83.92
Solvency Return on assets (%) 7.08 6.91
Return on equity (%) 12.13 13.06
Net profit (loss) margin (%) 18.37 18.92
Earnings (loss) per share (NT$) 6.57 6.93

(IV) Research and Development Status

Steel Structure Work: In order to maintain product quality and upgrade the technical level, the Company collects new information on the steel structure industry under various related research and development, and continuously improves production process and hoisting technology. Meanwhile, it moves toward various beam-column joints of steel structures, toughness, beam openings, various connecting plates and other structural test applications with the patents and implementation of seismic design, and introduces high-tech automated production equipment to improve production capacity and quality.

Regarding offshore wind power subsea foundation engineering: the government is actively advancing its green energy initiatives, with the wind power policy placing strong emphasis on localization and domestic content requirements as a means of nurturing the domestic industry. Contractors participating in wind power tenders are required to hold ISO 3834 certification and other relevant certifications as evidence of the standard of their welding workmanship and technical capability. The Company has obtained ISO 3834 certification and is actively cultivating a workforce of professionally certified advanced welders to meet the stringent requirements of offshore wind farm construction, including the high tolerance, fracture resistance, corrosion resistance, and anti-embrittlement standards demanded by offshore wind turbine installation.

VIII. 2026 Business Plan Summary

The traditional steel structure market softened in fiscal year 2025 as a result of the central bank's seventh round of selective credit controls and tightened mortgage lending policies. Nonetheless, demand for new industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and office developments maintained stable growth, and domestic offshore wind power supply chain manufacturers also continued to invest in plant construction. These factors collectively limited the impact of the housing market slowdown on overall demand within the steel structure industry.

The Company began producing offshore wind power subsea foundation components seven years ago, and traditional steel structure order intake has continued on a selective basis with ongoing price negotiation. Looking back, operations improved substantially following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and adjustments to the wind power production process, and further improvement is anticipated in the coming year.

The global offshore wind power industry has entered a period of significant growth. Wind turbine capacity is now predominantly 15 MW and above, and all awarded developers under Phase 3-1 and Phase 3-2 block development have adopted turbines in the 14–15 MW range. The deployment of large-capacity turbines substantially improves efficiency while significantly reducing the capital cost of offshore wind power development, driving a marked increase in the number of countries worldwide committing to offshore wind investment. The


Company has positioned itself to participate in this industry at an opportune moment, supported by domestic localization policies, and accordingly the majority of future resources will be directed toward this segment. Although growth is also anticipated in the traditional steel structure business, given the material difference in profit margins between the two segments, offshore wind power subsea foundation engineering will remain the primary focus, with its revenue contribution expected to grow to over 90% on an annual basis. Associated Group entities have also realigned their product scope in response to the demands of the wind power supply chain. The full series of pin pile fabrication previously conducted across the Group has been consolidated under Century Huaxin, while Century Wind Power will focus exclusively on jacket assembly and Century Steel will supply jacket components, enabling the Group to meet current and future market demand for jackets.

In overseas markets, the Myanmar sub-subsidiary operates under two strategic objectives: supporting Myanmar government infrastructure development requirements, and serving the plant construction needs of Taiwanese investors. The subsidiary stands to benefit from potential inflows of Taiwanese investment relocating from China to Myanmar as a result of the U.S.-China trade conflict. Given Myanmar's vast untapped development potential and labor costs substantially lower than those of other Southeast Asian nations, the outlook for this market is considered favorable.

IX. Company's Future Development Strategies

In the future, the Company will continue to uphold the concept of sustainable operations of "safety, quality, responsibility, honor, performance, and innovation", implement the 5S management tasks of "reorganization, readjustment, sweeping, cleaning, and self-reflection", strengthen internal management, and establish the staff cost-effectiveness concept, aiming to create maximum benefits with minimum cost and establish good reputation and core competitiveness. We will continue to carry out the following action plans:

I. Plant Production Management

(I) Implement various certification standards, improve production processes, and increase production efficiency

  1. Addition of production equipment to enhance production capacity, design for process improvement and allocation of production equipment to upgrade the utilization rate of equipment and production efficiency.
  2. Integrate production performance through strategic alliance with subcontractors, and outsource works beyond steel structure to the subcontractors for production efficiency and effectiveness, upgrade competitive power, and increase market share.
  3. Introduce the-state-of-the-art automated production equipment and structural test apparatus to upgrade production capacity and product structure tenacity, and enhance competitiveness in production.

(II) Strengthen employee training, introduce professional talent, cultivate young cadres, and actively pass the certification of ISO high-level and offshore wind power underwater foundation engineering technology, in order to improve the Company's technical capabilities, brand image and management performance.

II. Business Order Acceptance, Payment Collection

(I) Enhance business order-taking performance, clearly and accurately communicate work items, emphasize quality and control of delivery, and more proactive communication and services with the customers to establish a long-term cooperative relationship and increase the opportunities of taking cases.
(II) Upon accepting a case, the Company will strengthen the credit investigation of the customer to ensure that the Company can collect the future construction accounts without any concern. In addition, the Company will coordinate the settlement of the construction retention and the construction receivable that has been completed but not yet settled, in order to increase the cash on hand.

  • 13 -

X. Impact of the External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Macroeconomic Operating Environment

The steel structure business is a traditional and domestic-demand industry, and its industrial prospects are deeply affected by the ups and downs of the construction industry, the number of factories built by manufacturers, and the amount of government public projects released. Currently, as TSMC and international AI business operators have chosen to establish their plants in Taiwan and due to the factor of urban renewal, etc., the demand has increased but the supply is insufficient. This opportunity has also led to a substantial increase in the profit of the original business, and such profit will be revealed next year. It is expected to remain the prosperity until the year 2027.

The Company has secured multiple contracts from major offshore wind farm developers for subsea foundation-related works and is actively pursuing orders over the next five to ten years, with the relevant supply chain partner network progressively established. Going forward, the Company will be positioned to comprehensively fulfill developer requirements across the full value chain from subsea monopiles to wind turbine towers, generating substantial long-term earnings.

Operations at the Myanmar subsidiary remain suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing political instability. While the global pandemic has caused significant disruption to the subsidiary's business activities, a stabilization of the political and economic environment in the post-pandemic era is expected to create favorable conditions for infrastructure development and broader economic growth in Myanmar.

The government has been making positive effort in the advocacy of energy saving and carbon reduction, and green buildings. With the specific feature of steel structure in shock resistance, promotion on the steel structure market is easy at the time where earthquake occurred frequently. As such, an increasing proportion of steel structure was used in new buildings and bridges. Steel structure is a kind of green building material and could be recycled and reused in the future, which is congruent with the government policy of energy saving and carbon reduction. It is projected that steel structure will be used in the construction of more and more high rise buildings and wide span bridges.

Major factors affecting the development is the lack of rating of steel structure firms for proper management, scarcity of professionals in steel structure, the system of licensing and inspection is not in place, which resulted in cut-throat competition among big and small firms in engineering projects that the Company is compelled to cut down the price for more orders. Furthermore, given that the steel structure management regulations are incomplete and under the construction regulations, the steel structure manufacturer itself does not have the qualification for solely contracting the overall construction project, so that its market development is restricted.

The report of the Company's operating status for 2025 and a summary of the business plan for 2026 is provided as above. We will still uphold a rigorous attitude and pioneering spirit, implement the company's business strategies and plans, and strengthen quality decision-making and adaptability to changes in the hope that, by taking a rare opportunity of the offshore wind farm development, the company will earn a long-term business opportunity for 30 or 50 years and create another new horizon.

(the "Company") and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together referred as "the consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standard Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statement by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the "Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. 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 2025 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 thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recognition of Construction Revenue

The Company's consolidated revenue amounting to NT$14,463,065 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 is a significant account to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company and its subsidiaries provide the manufacturing of steel structure, and the related revenue are recognized over time. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated costs for the contract. We conclude that recognition of construction revenue is one of the key audit matters due to total estimated cost and contract items are assessed and judged by the management for the nature, estimated amount, period, procedure of the different constructions, and has a significant impact on calculation of the percentage of completion and construction gains or losses. Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policy for construction revenue recognition, assessing and testing the effectiveness of relevant internal controls related to revenue recognition, selecting samples on test of details, including checking the correctness of input cost and calculation in percentage of completion, obtaining main construction contracts, checking if the total contract price equals the amount used to calculate construction revenue, performing analytical review procedures on construction revenue, checking if there is no significant variance between collection progress and construction contract, etc. At the end of the reporting period, construction revenue is recognized based on the stage of completion of individual contract. We have also evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosure in Notes 4, 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

Trade receivables and contract assets - estimation of impairment loss (including project retention)

The Company's consolidated trade receivables and contract assets as of December 31, 2025 amounted to NT$4,531,189 thousand. The consolidated net trade receivables represented 11% of the Company's total consolidated assets and were significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The amount of loss allowance against trade receivables and contract assets is measured based on expected credit loss during its existing period. For the measurement purpose, underlying trade receivables and contract assets should be grouped appropriately and the application of related assumptions, including proper aging intervals and expected loss ratio for each aging interval, to be judged and analyzed. We conclude that the


estimation of impairment loss toward trade receivables and contract assets is one of the key audit matters due to its complexity of judgement, analysis and estimation and its significant impact on carrying value of net trade receivable and contract assets. Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, analyzing the appropriateness of the methodology to group trade receivable and contract assets, confirming whether the customers with significantly different loss patterns (i.e. similar risk characteristics) are appropriately grouped (i.e. by historical experiences, etc.); testing the preparation matrix adopted by the company and its subsidiaries, including evaluation on reasonableness of determining aging intervals, and examining the correctness of original document for basic information; reviewing trade receivable and contract assets subsequent collection for evaluating its recoverability, etc. We have also evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosure in Note 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standard Interpretations Committee as endorsed by 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and its subsidiaries.

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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

  • 18 -

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 Standards on Auditing of 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. 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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

  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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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 Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern."

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

  6. 19 -


  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company and its subsidiaries 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 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 2025 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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.

Other

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent-company-only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years then ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Century Iron And Steel Industrial Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Parent-Company-Only balance sheets of Century Iron And Steel Industrial Co., Ltd. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related Parent-Company-Only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the Parent-Company-Only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together referred as "the Parent-Company-Only financial statements").

In our opinion, the Parent-Company-Only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the Parent-Company-Only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and their Parent-Company-Only financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the requirements of 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 the Standards on Auditing of 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 (the "Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits, 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 2025 Parent-Company-Only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Parent-Company-Only financial statements

  • 26 -

as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recognition of Construction Revenue

The Company's Parent-Company-Only revenue amounting to NT$2,952,821 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2025 is a significant account to the Company's Parent-Company-Only financial statements. The Company provides the manufacturing of steel structure, and the related revenue are recognized over time. At the end of the reporting period, construction revenue is recognized based on the stage of completion of individual contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated costs for the contract. We conclude that recognition of construction revenue is one of the key audit matters due to estimated cost and contract items are assessed and judged by the management for the nature, estimated amount, period, procedure of the different constructions, and has a significant impact on calculation of the percentage of completion and construction gains or losses. Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policy for construction revenue recognition, assessing and testing the effectiveness of relevant internal controls related to revenue recognition, selecting samples on test of details, including checking the correctness of input cost and calculation in percentage of completion, obtaining main construction contracts, checking the total contract price if equal to the amount used to calculate construction revenue, performing analytical review procedures on construction revenue, checking if there is no significant variance between collection progress and construction contract, etc. We have also evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosure in Note 4, 5 and 6 to the Parent-Company-Only financial statements.

Trade receivables and contract assets - estimation of impairment loss (including project retention)

The Company's Parent-Company-Only trade receivables and contract assets as of December 31, 2025 amounted to NT$1,881,035 thousand. The Parent-Company-Only net trade receivables represented 8% of the Company's Parent-Company-Only total assets and were significant to the Company's Parent-Company-Only financial statements. The amount of loss allowance against trade receivable and contract assets is measured based on expected credit loss during its existing period. For the measurement purpose, underlying trade receivables and contract assets should be grouped appropriately and the application of related assumptions, including proper aging intervals and expected loss ratio for each aging interval, to be judged and analyzed. We conclude that the estimation of impairment loss toward trade receivables and contract assets is one of the key audit matters due to its complexity of judgement, analysis and estimation and its significant impact on carrying value of net trade receivables and contract assets. Our audit procedures therefore include, but not limit to, analyzing the

  • 27 -

appropriateness of the methodology to group trade receivables and contract assets, confirming whether the customers with significantly different loss patterns (i.e. similar risk characteristics) are appropriately grouped (i.e. by historical experiences, etc.); testing the preparation matrix adopted by the Company, including evaluation on reasonableness of determining aging intervals, and examining the correctness of original document for basic information; reviewing trade receivable and contract assets subsequent collection for evaluating its recoverability, etc. We have also evaluated the appropriateness of the related disclosure in Note 5 and 6 to the Parent-Company-Only financial statements.

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 requirements of 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 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

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 is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of 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.

  • 28 -

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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 control. 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 internal control of the Company.

  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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. 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 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 Parent-Company-Only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the Parent-Company-Only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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

  7. 29 -


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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2025 Parent-Company-Only financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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.

Comparison Table of Revised Provisions of the "Procedures for Election of Directors"

Amended Article After Amendment Original Article Explanation
Article 7 The person with the authority to convene the meeting shall prepare ballots equal in number to the directors to be elected, with the voting weight of each ballot indicated thereon, and distribute them to shareholders attending the shareholders' meeting. The voter's identity may be represented by the attendance certificate number printed on the ballot. The Board of Directors shall prepare ballots equal in number to the directors to be elected, with the voting weight of each ballot indicated thereon, and distribute them to shareholders attending the shareholders' meeting. The voter's identity may be represented by the attendance certificate number printed on the ballot. Under Article 173 of the Company Act, shareholders may, under specified circumstances — such as where the Board of Directors fails to issue a notice of convening — apply to the competent authority for permission to convene a meeting themselves. The text of this provision has been revised accordingly.
Article 9 Prior to the commencement of the election, the chairperson shall designate a number of scrutineers and vote counters who are shareholders to carry out the relevant duties. The ballot box shall be prepared by the person with the authority to convene the meeting and shall be opened and inspected publicly by the scrutineers prior to voting. Prior to the commencement of the election, the chairperson shall designate a number of scrutineers and vote counters who are shareholders to carry out the relevant duties. The ballot box shall be prepared by the Board of Directors and shall be opened and inspected publicly by the scrutineers prior to voting. Under Article 173 of the Company Act, shareholders may, under specified circumstances — such as where the Board of Directors fails to issue a notice of convening — apply to the competent authority for permission to convene a meeting themselves. The text of this provision has been revised accordingly.
Article 10 The voter shall enter the name or registered name of the nominee in the "Nominee" field of the ballot. Where a government entity or juridical person shareholder is the nominee, the "Nominee" field shall be completed with the name of such government entity or juridical person, and may also include the name of its representative. Where there are multiple representatives, the name of each representative shall be entered separately. Where the nominee is a shareholder, the voter shall enter the nominee's registered name in the "Nominee" field of the ballot and may additionally enter the nominee's shareholder account number. Where the nominee is not a shareholder, the voter shall enter the nominee's full name and national identification number. Where a juridical person shareholder is the nominee, the "Nominee" field shall be completed with the name of such juridical person, and may also include the name of its representative. Where there are multiple representatives, the name of each representative shall be entered separately. Pursuant to FSC Order Jin-Guan-Zheng-Jiao-Zi-No. 1080311551, issued on April 25, 2019, listed and OTC companies are required to adopt a candidate nomination system for the election of directors and supervisors with effect from 2021, whereby shareholders shall elect directors from the list of nominated candidates. As shareholders are able to access information regarding each candidate's name, academic qualifications, and professional experience from the candidate list prior to the shareholders' meeting, the use of shareholder account numbers or national identification numbers as a means of identifying candidates is no longer necessary. The relevant
of the candidate list shall be used to identify candidates. The number of candidates for each candidate is not a more specific and specific description of the candidate. The person who has the authority to convene the meeting shall also be given an identification number.

Amended Article After Amendment Original Article Explanation
provisions have been revised accordingly.

I. The ballot was not prepared by a person with the authority to convene the meeting.
II. A blank ballot is placed in the ballot box.
III. The writing is unclear and indecipherable or has been altered.
IV. The name of the nominee as written on the ballot does not match the verified list of director candidates.

VI. Two or more nominees have been entered on the same ballot. A ballot is invalid under any of the following circumstances:
I. The ballot was not prepared by the board of directors.
II. A blank ballot is placed in the ballot box.
III. The writing is unclear and indecipherable or has been altered.
IV. Where the name or shareholder account number of an elected party who holds shareholder status does not match the entries in the Register of Shareholders; or, where the name or government-issued identification number of an elected party who does not hold shareholder status fails verification.
V. Other words or marks are entered in addition to the name of the candidate or Shareholder No. (reference number of the status certificate) and the number of voting rights allotted.
VI. Where the name of the elected party is identical to that of another shareholder, and no shareholder account number or government-issued identification number has been provided to ensure positive identification. Pursuant to Article 173 of the Company Act, shareholders may, under specific circumstances (e.g., the Board of Directors fails to issue a notice of convocation), seek authorization from the Competent Authority to convene a meeting independently. Furthermore, in accordance with FSC Ruling Jin-Guan-Zheng-Jiao-Zi-No. 1080311451 issued on April 25, 2019, all listed and OTC companies must adopt a Candidate Nomination System for the election of Directors and Supervisors effective from 2021. Shareholders shall elect personnel specifically from the established list of director candidates. Accordingly, the contents of Subparagraphs 4, 5, and 6 of this Article have been amended to reflect these requirements.

Rules of Procedure for Shareholders Meetings

Amended on August 3, 2021

Article 1: The rules of procedures for the Company's shareholders meetings, except as otherwise provided by law, regulation, or the articles of incorporation, shall be as provided in these Rules.

Article 2: The term "shareholders" described in these Rules refers shareholders themselves and their proxies appointed to attend the meeting by shareholders. For each shareholders meeting, a shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting by providing the proxy form issued by the Company and stating the scope of the proxy's authorization. A shareholder may issue only one proxy form and appoint only one proxy for any given shareholders meeting, and shall deliver the proxy form to the Company before five days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate proxy forms are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail unless a declaration is made to cancel the previous proxy appointment. Once a proxy form has been submitted to the Company, a shareholder who wishes to attend the shareholders' meeting in person or to exercise voting rights by written or electronic means shall notify the Company in writing of the revocation of the proxy no later than two days prior to the date of the shareholders' meeting. Where notice of revocation is given after the prescribed deadline, the votes cast by the appointed proxy shall prevail.

Article 3: Attending shareholders or their proxies shall submit their attendance cards in lieu of signing the attendance register. Attendance and voting at the shareholders' meeting shall be calculated on the basis of shares held. Unless otherwise provided or restricted by applicable laws and regulations, each share held by a shareholder of the Company carries one vote. The number of shares represented at the meeting shall be calculated based on the attendance register or submitted attendance cards, together with the number of shares for which voting rights have been exercised by written or electronic means.

Article 4: Unless otherwise provided for by law or regulation, the Company's shareholders meetings shall be convened by the board of directors. The Company shall prepare electronic versions of the shareholders meeting notice and proxy forms, and the origins of and explanatory materials relating to all proposals, including proposals for ratification, matters for deliberation, or the election or dismissal of directors before 30 days before the date of a regular shareholders meeting or before 15 days before the date of a special shareholders meeting. The Company shall prepare electronic versions of the shareholders meeting agenda and supplemental meeting materials before 21 days before the date of the regular shareholders meeting or before 15 days before the date of the special shareholders meeting. In addition, before 15 days before the date of the shareholders meeting, the Company shall also have prepared the shareholders meeting agenda and

  • 41 -

supplemental meeting materials and made them available for review by shareholders at any time. The meeting agenda and supplemental materials shall also be displayed at the Company and the professional shareholder services agent designated thereby as well as being distributed on-site at the meeting place.

The reasons for convening a shareholders meeting shall be specified in the meeting notice and public announcement. With the consent of the addressee, the meeting notice may be given in electronic form.

The following matters shall be specifically enumerated in the meeting notice with a summary of their principal contents and may not be raised as matters of urgent business: election or removal of directors; amendment of the Articles of Incorporation; capital reduction; application for termination of public offering status; approval of director competition with the Company; capitalization of earnings; capitalization of reserves; dissolution, merger, or demerger of the Company; matters set forth in Article 185, Paragraph 1 of the Company Act; and matters governed by Article 26-1 and Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act, Article 56-1, and Article 60-2 of the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Issuers.

Where the notice of a shareholders' meeting specifies a full re-election of directors and states the date of assumption of office, upon completion of such re-election at that meeting, the date of assumption of office may not be altered by way of any matter of urgent business or by any other means at the same meeting.

A shareholder holding one percent or more of the total number of issued shares may submit to the Company a written proposal for discussion at a regular shareholders meeting. The number of items so proposed, however, is limited to one only, and no proposal containing more than one item will be included in the meeting agenda. In addition, when the circumstances of any subparagraph of Paragraph 4, Article 172-1 of the Company Act apply to a proposal put forward by a shareholder, the board of directors may exclude it from the agenda. Shareholders may submit non-binding proposals for the purpose of encouraging the Company to advance the public interest or fulfill its corporate social responsibility. Such proposals shall be limited to one proposal per submission in accordance with the relevant provisions of Article 172-1 of the Company Act; where more than one proposal is submitted, none of the proposals shall be included in the agenda.

Prior to the book closure date before a regular shareholders' meeting is held, the Company shall publicly announce that the receipt of shareholders' proposals, acceptance method in writing or in electronic method, location and the time period for accepting submission; the period for accepting submission of shareholder proposals shall not be less than ten days.

Shareholder-submitted proposals are limited to 300 words, and no proposal containing more than 300 words will be included in the meeting agenda. The shareholder making the proposal shall be present in person or by proxy at the regular shareholders meeting and take part in discussion of the proposal.

Prior to the date for issuance of notice of a shareholders meeting, the Company shall inform the shareholders who submitted proposals of the proposal screening results, and shall list in the meeting notice the proposals that conform to the provisions of this article. At the shareholders meeting

  • 42 -

the board of directors shall explain the reasons for exclusion of any shareholder proposals not included in the agenda.

The venue for a shareholders meeting shall be the premises of the Company, or a place easily accessible to shareholders and suitable for a shareholders meeting. The meeting may begin no earlier than 9 a.m. and no later than 3 p.m. Full consideration shall be given to the opinions of the independent directors with respect to the place and time of the meeting.

The Company shall specify in its shareholders meeting notices the time during which shareholder attendance registrations will be accepted, the place to register for attendance, and other matters for attention.

The time during which shareholder attendance registrations will be accepted, as stated in the preceding paragraph, shall be at least 30 minutes prior to the time the meeting commences. The place at which attendance registrations are accepted shall be clearly marked and a sufficient number of suitable personnel assigned to handle the registrations.

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 handbook, annual report, attendance card, speaker's slips, voting slips, and other meeting materials. Where there is an election of directors or supervisors, pre-printed ballots shall also be furnished.

Article 5: If a shareholders' meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the chairman of the board. When the chairman of the board is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the chairperson, the chairperson shall appoint one of the directors to act as chair. Where the chairman does not make such a designation, the directors shall select from among themselves one person to serve as chair. When there are two or more such convening parties, they shall mutually select a chair from among themselves.

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 chairperson of the board 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.

  • 43 -

Article 6: 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 one 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 7: The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time, and also announce the number of no voting rights, the number of shares in attendance, and other relevant information.

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 one 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 Paragraph 1, Article 175 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders meeting shall be convened within one 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 the Company Act.

Article 8: 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.

Article 9: 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, call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting.

  • 44 -

Article 10: 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. When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violation. After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.

Article 11: 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.

Article 12: When a juristic person is appointed to attend as proxy, it may designate only one person to represent it in the meeting. 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.

Article 13: 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 three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.

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 Paragraph 2, Article 179 of the Company Act.

When the Company holds a shareholders' meeting, it shall adopt exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt exercise of voting rights by correspondence. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders' meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that

  • 45 -

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 before two 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, before two business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.

Except as otherwise provided in the laws and regulations, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.

Article 14: 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.

Article 15: 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.

The election of 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 and the numbers of votes with which they are elected, and the names of directors not elected and number of votes they received. 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 one year. If, however, a

  • 46 -

shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.

Article 16: 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 twenty 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 made through the MOPS. The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the chair's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their voting results (including the number of voting rights), and disclose the number of voting rights won by each candidate in the event of an election of directors or supervisors. The minutes shall be retained for the duration of the existence of the Company.

Article 17: On the day of a shareholders meeting, the Company 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, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.

Article 18: 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. Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders meeting shall wear identification cards or arm bands.

Article 19: The chair may direct the proctors (or security personnel) to help maintain order at the meeting place. When proctors (or security personnel) assist to 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 20: 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

  • 47 -

the meeting at another venue.
A resolution may be adopted at a shareholders’ meeting to defer or resume the meeting within five days in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act.

Article 21: These Rules shall take effect after having been submitted to and approved by a shareholders’ meeting. Subsequent amendments thereto shall be effected in the same manner.
