Resolution:

11

Matter 2

[Proposed by the Board of Directors]

Summary: Proposal for Issuing Employee Stock Warrants at a Price below Market Value.

Description:

  • I. To incentivize employees and optimize performance evaluation, aligning with existing employee compensation systems and in accordance with Article 28-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act and guidelines issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission on "Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers," the Company will issue employee stock warrants. The exercise price will be set at no less than 60% of the closing price of common shares on the day of warrant issuance. The issuance details are as follows:

  • (1) Total Units Issued, Subscription Rights per Unit, and Total New Shares Issued upon Exercise: The total number of units of employee stock warrants issued in this offering is 1,500,000 units, with each unit allowing the subscription of 1 share. The total number of new common shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants is 1,500,000 shares.

  • (2) Basis and Rationality of Exercise Price: The exercise price is set at not less than 60% of the closing price of common stock on the date of issuance of the warrants, taking into account the Company's recruitment, retention, and motivational effects, while also considering shareholder interests. The exercise of employee stock warrants is permitted only after a period of two years from the issuance date, based on the specified

12

ratio in the warrant period. The exercise price, set at not less than 60% of the closing price, should be considered reasonable.

(3) Qualifications of Warrant Holders and Number of Shares Available for Subscription: Warrant holders must be full-time regular employees within the company's organization. The actual number of warrants allocated to each employee will be determined based on factors such as their seniority, position, performance appraisal, overall contribution, and special achievements. The allocation criteria will be established by the Chairman or their designee, subject to approval by the Board of Directors. If the warrant holder is an executive or serves as a director of the company, approval must first be obtained from the Compensation Committee before being presented to the Board for a decision. For warrant holders who are neither executives nor directors of the company, approval must first be obtained from the Audit Committee before being presented to the Board for a decision. The number of restricted employee stock rights granted to individual employees by the Company shall be handled in accordance with Article 56-1, Paragraph 1 of the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers.

(4) Rationale for Issuing Employee Stock Warrants: The Company seeks to attract and retain talented individuals necessary for the company's operations, while also motivating and enhancing employee morale to collectively create benefits for the company and its shareholders.

  • (5) The potential amount of expenses that may be charged, the impact on diluted earnings per share for the Company, and other matters affecting shareholders' equity: Based on an estimated market price of NT$40.32

13

per share (the average closing price of the last ten business days before February 13, 2025), the estimated subscription price is NT$24.19 per share. The total estimated expense of full issuance is NT$24,192

thousand. If the issuance begins on December, 2025, the estimated impact on after-tax earnings per share from 2025 to 2029 is as follows:

Year Capitalized
Expenses
OutstandingShares Earnings per
Share
2025 756,000 413,358,540 0.00
2026 9,072,000 413,358,540 0.02
2027 8,668,800 413,491,873 0.02
2028 4,032,000 415,058,540 0.01
2029 1,663,200 416,258,540 0.00

The potential dilution to earnings per share for the company remains relatively limited, not anticipated to have a significant impact on shareholders' equity.

  • II. Please refer to Attachment VIII (p. 39-44) of this handbook for the "2025 Regulations on Issuing and Exercising Employee Stock Warrants."

  • III. The Company is conducting the issuance of employee stock warrants, which was approved at this shareholders' meeting and will become effective upon submission to the competent authority. If revisions to the provisions and content of these regulations are required by the competent authority or relevant laws and regulations, the Chairman is authorized to make amendments before seeking subsequent approval from the Board of Directors.

  • IV. The issuance of employee stock warrants in this instance will adhere to relevant laws, regulations, and the Company's established issuance regulations.

  • V. Please kindly discuss.

Resolution:

14

Resolution:Matter 3

[Proposed by the Board of Directors]

Summary: Proposal for Stock dividends of Common Stock and Issuance of New Shares.

Description:

  • I. It is proposed to allocate stock dividends to shareholders from the appropriated earnings of the year 2024 in the amount of NT$206,679,270, with a capital increase through the issuance of 20,667,927 new shares, each with a par value of NT$10. The distribution will be made based on the shareholders' ownership ratio recorded in the register of members as of the record date for the new share issuance, with 50 shares being distributed for every 1,000 shares held. For fractional shares that are less than one full share, shareholders may, within 5 days from the date the stock transfer is suspended, register with the company’s stock service agency to consolidate fractional shares into whole shares. For any remaining fractional shares that cannot be consolidated into whole shares, the value will be paid in cash based on the par value. Fractional shares that cannot be consolidated into one full share will be authorized by the Chairman to be purchased by specific persons at par value. Any payment for fractional shares less than one full share, for shareholders participating in the book-entry allocation, will be treated as handling fees for the book-entry distribution.

  • II. If the total number of shares of the company changes in the future, resulting in a change in the shareholders' stock distribution ratio, the Chairman is authorized to handle the necessary adjustments.

  • III. The proposal shall be submitted for approval at the shareholders' meeting and, upon approval by the competent authority, the board of directors is authorized to set the record date for the capital increase through the issuance of new shares, the distribution date, and other related matters.

  • IV. The rights and obligations of the newly issued shares are the same as those of the existing shares.

  • V. Please kindly discuss.

  • (II) Long-term Development Strategy

  • Improve the Company's brand value.

  • Plan sustainable and safe green buildings.

  • Integrate specialized resources for value-added marketing.

  • Stable development for strategic expansion.

IV. Impact of the Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Macroeconomic Environment

  • (I) External Competition

The main costs involved in construction are land and building materials. Due to Taiwan's limited land area, dense population, and high degree of urbanization, land development in prime areas has reached near saturation. When the government or landowners release land, it often leads to fierce competition among developers to acquire it. In such a competitive environment, the cost of land continues to rise, and it even becomes difficult to secure land in some cases. As oil prices stabilize, and demand for consumer products and emerging markets increase, international raw material prices have risen. Among these, the prices of construction materials such as cement, sand, paint, and steel bars continue to appreciate. In addition, domestic labor wages have increased, and there is a shortage of skilled labor, which further drives up costs.

21

  • (II) Regulatory Environment

In July 2023, the amendments to “The Equalization of Land Rights” were implemented, including 5 major measures: restricting contract assignment and resale, imposing heavy penalties for speculative real estate practices, establishing a whistleblower reward system, regulating private house purchases, and requiring contract termination to be reported and registered. Along with policies such as "Actual Price Registration of Real Estate Transaction 2.0" and "Integrating Housing and Land Tax 2.0," these measures are expected to reduce transaction volumes in the housing market. The primary purpose of these regulations is to curb short-term speculative trading and enhance transaction transparency, which will have a positive impact on the future development of the construction industry and market order. The company will develop countermeasures to mitigate the adverse effects of regulatory and policy changes on the operations.

  • (III) Macroeconomic Environment

Since December 2020, the Central Bank has adjusted selective credit controls 7 times, which has helped banks manage real estate lending risks and prevent excessive credit resources from flowing into the real estate market. Starting in March 2022, the implementation of a gradual tightening monetary policy has further strengthened the effectiveness of selective credit controls. As real estate investors withdraw and owner-occupiers with rigid housing demand enter the market, home-buying demand has become more focused on location and construction quality. To pursue superior quality, the company has gradually integrated Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Project Control Management (PCM) into each construction project. With the assistance of BIM, building models can be produced during the planning and design phase, allowing for the early resolution of engineering and interface conflicts. This not only effectively controls project schedules, manages construction costs, and reduces unnecessary resource waste but also ensures the complete realization of quality management goals.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the accompanying financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IAS”). Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the 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 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 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 of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significant in out audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These matters were 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 these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

1. Revenue recognition

For the accounting polices relating to income recognition, please refer to Note 4 (17). For the details of revenue, please refer to Note 6 (18).

24

The main revenue of the Company is sales of real estate. The risk of material misstatement is the substance of revenue recognition. Revenue is linked to operating performance of the management. To achieve expected financial performance, the management might override the internal control procedures to manipulate the timing of revenue recognition, which might lead to significant misstatement of profit and loss. Therefore, revenue recognition is one of the most important issue in performing our audit procedures and has been identified as one of the key audit matters.

Our principal audit procedures including:

  • Perform test of control procedure for the internal control system of sales revenue and accounts receivables collection. To evaluating the effectiveness of preventing error and fraud.

  • Perform substantive analytical procedures on revenue to evaluate the correctness of the timing of revenue recognition.

  • Perform test of details, selecting samples from real estate sales contracts with customers and related real estate transfer registration document to assess whether the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with its accounting policies and accounting standards.

2. Acquisition and valuation of Inventory (Lands held for construction)

For accounting policies relating to acquiring and valuation of inventory, please refer to Note 4 (6). For details of inventory, please refer to Note 6 (3).

Inventory is the significant asset for operating for the Company, which account for 83.61% of total assets. The appropriateness of acquisition price and procedures of inventory (lands held for construction) might affect the interest of shareholders. Besides, the valuation of inventory shall be in accordance with IAS 2. If the Company valuates its inventory inappropriately, it might lead to significant misstatement of financial statement. Therefore, the acquisition and valuation of inventory is one of the most important issue in performing our audit procedures and has been identified as one of the key audit matters.

Our principal audit procedures including:

  • Review whether the lands held for construction acquiring and pricing assessment procedures are in accordance with Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets by Public Companies.

  • Review contracts of acquisition of lands held for construction and check whether consideration and payment schedule are in accordance with the contracts.

  • Obtain the Company’s inventory valuation data. Select samples from the data and check to related real estate sales contracts. We also compare whether there’s significant difference between the net realizable value of inventory and actual transaction information in nearby area published by Ministry of Interior. For lands held for construction and construction-inprogress, we also obtain the Company’s internal investment return analysis data to compare with current market tendency to assess whether the net realizable value is fairly presented.

25

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 the 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 members of 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 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 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 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

26

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.

  1. 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.

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 the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Teng, Hsin Shan and Tao, Hong Wen.

Crowell Development Co., Ltd.

2025 Regulations on Issuing and Exercising Employee Stock Warrants

  • Article 1: Purpose of Issuance

    • The Company aims to attract and retain essential professional talent, motivate employees, and enhance employee engagement to jointly create benefits for the Company and shareholders. This includes ensuring the alignment of employee interests with shareholder interests. 2025 Regulations on Issuing and Exercising Employee Stock Warrants (referred to as "these Regulations") is established in accordance with Article 28-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act and relevant provisions such as the "Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers".
  • Article 2: Period of Issuance Within two years from the date of receipt of the effective notification from the competent authority, issuance will be conducted either as a single issuance or in installments, with the actual issuance date authorized by the chairman.

  • Article 3: Qualifications of Subscription Rights Holders

  • (1) Subscription rights holders are limited to full-time regular employees within the Company's establishment.

  • (2) The actual number of subscription rights holders and the allocation of subscription rights will be determined based on factors such as employees' tenure, job level, performance evaluation, overall contribution, and special achievements. After verification by the chairman or a designated individual, it will be submitted for approval by the board of directors. If the subscription rights holder is a company executive or serves as a director, prior approval from the Compensation Committee is required before board approval. For subscription rights holders who are not executives or directors, prior approval from the Audit Committee is necessary before board approval.

  • (3) According to Article 56-1(1) of the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, the cumulative subscription amount for a single subscription rights holder, including restricted employee shares, shall not exceed 0.3% of the total issued shares. Additionally, under Article 56-1(1) of the Guidelines for Issuers' Offering and Issuance of Securities, the cumulative subscription amount for a single subscription rights holder shall not exceed 1% of the total issued shares. However, approval from the respective central authorities may exempt an individual employee from these limits on a combined basis of employee subscription rights and restricted employee shares.

  • Article 4: Total Units Issued

    • The total issuance amount is 1,500,000 units, and each unit of subscription warrant entitles the holder to subscribe to 1 share. Therefore, the total number of new ordinary shares to be issued upon exercise of the subscription warrants is 1,500,000 shares.

  • ii. In cases of serious violations of labor contracts, employment agreements, or company regulations, the Company reserves the right to reclaim and cancel subscription warrants that have not yet been exercised.

  • (3) Type of Subscribed Shares: Common shares of the Company.

  • (4) Handling of Subscription Rights upon Voluntary Resignation, Leave without Pay, Retirement, Death, Disability due to Occupational Injury, Termination, or Dismissal:

  • i. Voluntary Resignation: Subscription warrants with exercise rights may be exercised within one month from the resignation date. Failure to exercise within this period is considered a waiver of subscription rights. Subscription warrants without exercise rights are deemed waived on the day of resignation.

  • ii. Leave without Pay: Subscription warrants with exercise rights may be exercised within one month from the date of resumption of duties after leave without pay. Subscription warrants without exercise rights regain their benefits upon resumption of duties, but the exercise period shall be extended based on the period of leave without pay, not exceeding the duration of the subscription warrants specified in paragraph (2) of this Article.

  • iii. Retirement: All subscription rights may be exercised upon retirement. However, the exercise must occur within six months from the retirement date or two years after being granted the subscription warrants (whichever is later) and not beyond the duration of the subscription warrants.

  • iv. Death: The inheritor may exercise all subscription rights within six months from the date of death or two years after being granted the subscription warrants (whichever is later) and not beyond the duration of the subscription warrants.

  • In cases of death due to occupational injury, the inheritor may exercise all subscription rights within six months from the date of death or two years after being granted the subscription warrants (whichever is later) and not beyond the duration of the subscription warrants.

40

[ Attachment VIII ]

  • vi. Termination or Dismissal: Subscription warrants with exercise rights may be exercised within one month from the effective date of termination or dismissal, not exceeding the duration of the subscription warrants. Failure to exercise within the specified period is considered a waiver of subscription rights.

  • vii. Subscription warrants without exercise rights are deemed waived on the effective date of termination or dismissal. Failure to Exercise: Failure to exercise subscription rights within the specified deadlines is considered a waiver of subscription rights.

  • viii. Other Termination of Employment: For other unspecified terminations or adjustments to employment, subscription rights shall be exercised according to the exercise period and schedule specified in paragraph (2) of this Article.

  • ix. Adjustment: In cases not covered by the aforementioned reasons or where adjustments are required according to relevant laws, the Chairman is authorized to individually establish or adjust based on the actual circumstances.

  • (5) Handling of Waived Subscription Warrants: For subscription warrants that are waived, the Company will reclaim and cancel them without reissuance.

  • Article 6: Method of Fulfillment The performance will be executed through the issuance of new shares by the Company.

  • Article 7: Adjustment of Subscription Price

  • (1) Following the issuance of the warrants, barring securities issued by the Company allowing for common stock conversion or subscription rights tied to employee incentives, any changes to the Company's common stock—whether through capital increases via public or private means, profit-to-capital conversions, capital surplus allocations, mergers, acquisition-related share issuances, stock splits, or participation in overseas depository receipt offerings—will prompt an adjustment of the subscription price using the following formula (rounded to the nearest NT dollar). Adjustments due to stock face value changes, leading to increased common share issuances, will align with the new share issuance reference date, though those who have completed payment will adjust by the full payment date. The revised subscription price = Initial subscription price × [Issued shares + (Payment amount per share × Newly issued shares) ÷ Price per share] ÷ [Issued shares + Newly issued shares].

  • For stock face value changes, the adjusted subscription price = Initial subscription price × (Number of issued common shares pre-change ÷ Number of issued common shares post-change).

  • i. "Issued shares" refers to the total number of common shares issued by the Company, including completed private placements of common shares, but excluding shares represented by paid-up warrants and convertible bonds. Additionally, treasury shares repurchased by the Company that have not yet been cancelled or transferred should be deducted from this total.

  • ii. The "payment amount per share" is zero for bonus issues or stock splits.

  • iii. In the event of a merger with another company, the payment amount per share for newly issued shares is determined as the simple average closing price of the Company's common stock over the thirty consecutive business days preceding the forty-fifth business day before the merger reference date.

  • iv. No adjustment will be made if the adjusted subscription price is higher than the original subscription price.

41

[ Attachment VIII ]

  • v. If the adjusted subscription price is lower than the face value of the common stock, the face value of the common stock will be used as the subscription price.

  • vi. The market price per share is calculated as the simple arithmetic average of the closing prices of the common stock on the first, third, and fifth business days prior to the ex-dividend date, pricing reference date, or stock split reference date.

  • vii. For scenarios not covered above regarding changes in share structure, the decision to adjust or not shall be authorized by the board of directors.

  • viii. Adjustments to the subscription price, as required, will follow the aforementioned formula and require approval by the chairman without additional board approval.

  • (2) Following the issuance of warrants, upon the distribution of cash dividends on common shares, the subscription price shall be adjusted on the ex-dividend date using the following formula (rounded to the nearest NT dollar). Adjusted subscription price = Original subscription price × (1 - Ratio of cash dividends per share to market price per share).

  • i. The determination of the market price per share shall be based on the simple arithmetic average closing price of the Company's common stock on one, three, or five trading days immediately preceding the announcement date for the cessation of share transfer due to cash dividends.

  • ii. In cases where both cash dividends and stock dividends are simultaneously distributed (including capitalization of earnings and capital surplus), the subscription price shall first be adjusted based on the cash dividend amount, followed by an adjustment based on the stock dividend amount.

  • (3) Following the issuance of warrants, if there is a reduction in common stock due to a reduction in capital not resulting from the cancellation of treasury shares, the adjusted subscription price shall be calculated on the reduction base date using the following formula (rounded to the nearest NT dollar), or on the new share issuance reference date if the reduction is due to changes in stock face value.

  • i. Adjustment for loss recovery during capital reduction:

  • Adjusted subscription price = Original subscription price × (Number of issued common shares before reduction / Number of issued common shares after reduction)

  • ii. Adjustment for cash reduction:

  • Adjusted subscription price = [Original subscription price × (1 - Ratio of cash refund per share to closing price on the last trading day before issuance of new shares)] × (Number of issued common shares before reduction / Number of issued common shares after reduction)

  • iii. Adjustment for change in stock face value:

  • Adjusted subscription price = Original subscription price × (Number of issued common shares before face value change / Number of issued common shares after face value change) Note: The number of issued common shares includes the total number of issued common shares and private placements, excluding treasury shares repurchased by the Company that have not yet been cancelled or transferred.

  • Article 8: Procedure for Exercising Subscription Rights

  • (1) Subscription rights holders, unless subject to restrictions on exercising rights as specified in Article 9 or during periods of share transfer suspension as required by law, may exercise their subscription rights in accordance with these Regulations. They must complete a "Subscription Request Form" and submit a subscription application to the Company's share registrar. The subscription takes effect upon submission and cannot be revoked.

42

[ Attachment VIII ]
