Attachment 1
Company’s 2021 Business Report
Dear Shareholders,
I would like to thank you for your continuing support throughout the year. DAVICOM has responded to the changing business climate by adopting an aggressive stance in strengthening our competitiveness. As of the end of December – 2021, our company generated net income of NT $80.91 million on consolidated revenue of NT $283.47 million. Our company has been continuously posting profits for 64 quarters.
The Company has four major product lines: ethernet chip, electronic paper driver chip, video decoder chip and AI chip. Last year’s revenue didn’t grow up as expected due to the impact of COVID19 and China–United States trade war. The upstream and downstream semiconductor manufacturing has raised the price to respond to the increasing demand. The company, therefore, raised the price in Q2 to maintain its profit.
The IC product demand is increased than last year due to customers preparing inventory in advance, therefore the company operation is positive and the revenue and profit reach their climax even the market is continuously changing.
Looking forward to the year 2022, with the continued growth of AIoT and its diversified application, we look forward to future opportunities in the communications industry. Additionally, with the development of the 5G industry, Ethernet chips play an important role in increasing communication facilities. We expect that the growing demand for AIoT & 5G market will improve the company’s business opportunities of the year.
Due to the insufficient production capacity and supply of other IC companies, the company grasps the opportunity to enter the market which originally belong to others.
The epidemic hasn’t recovered yet, however most of countries has release the restriction under the consideration of economy. The economic activities have gradually returned. The trend would help company operation development. In the Europe market, for example, the orders so far have increased compared to 2021.
As the situation of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict., China trade war, tech competition and COVID-19 epidemic are still tense. The impact is difficult to quantify, in terms of the overall environment, the trend has gradually taken shape and cannot be underestimated.
In addition, the potential threat of IC design industry in China and the rapid changes of product applications, the market is full of opportunities and risks, the company will remain flexible in the strategy operation to seek the best business opportunities in the market. We will continue the spirit of pragmatic approach to governance. Our management team and all the employees are making strides in achieving our company’s goal – to create the most value for all shareholders – by implementing business plan,
9
improving cost management and enhancing operating efficiency. Develop high-performance, powersaving, industrial-grade, and diverse interfaces from key core technologies of Ethernet to meet the market requirements of IoT and Industry 4.0 for smart grid, home, medical, security monitoring, automotive, industrial control, etc. The market needs to expand the series of e-paper driver chips for financial smart cards and electronic shelf labels, and actively develop and integrate relevant platforms to provide customers with high-quality and competitive products to stabilize customer relationships and to provide customers with customer-oriented to reach a win-win goal. Davicom gains a deep understanding of market application trends for market opportunities, and work closely with supply chain partners to obtain full support for expecting higher return on investment for shareholders to thank all shareholders for their long-term support.
Last but not the least, we would like to thank you - our shareholders - for your continuous support and belief in our efforts.
We wish you all health and happiness
Sincerest regards,
Chairman President Accounting Supervisor Ting Hao Ting Hao Kuei-Feng Chiu

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of DAVICOM Semiconductor, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of DAVICOM Semiconductor, Inc. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other matter section of our report), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
~13~
The Company’s key audit matters are as follows:
Evaluation of accounts receivable
Description
Please refer to Note 4(7) for accounting policies on accounts receivable recognition and valuation, Note 5 for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to impairment of accounts receivable, Note 6(3) for details of accounts receivable. The balance of accounts receivable amounted to NT$32,894 thousand as at December 31, 2021.
The Company’s accounts receivable arises from selling goods, and collecting in accordance with the credit period which is determined by the Credit Quality Control Policy of individual customers’ credit quality.
Allowance for uncollectible accounts are based on expected credit losses during its existing period. For the purpose of measurement, underlying receivable should be grouped appropriately and the assumptions should be assessed and analyzed. The aging categories, expected loss ratio and forward-looking information usually include subjective judgement, therefore, we determined the valuation of accounts receivable as one of the key areas of focus for this year’s audit.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Checked and tested the assumptions of expected credit losses and assessed the reasonableness of the aging categories, including objective evidences used to determine the accuracy of periods and credit terms. Verified whether there are long overdue unrecoverable accounts receivable on the list to assess the adequacy of allowance for uncollectible accounts.
-
Checked and tested accounts receivable aging schedule which is classified based on customer types, subsequent collections, and discussed with management for its assessment of recoverability of past due receivables.
Evaluation of inventories
Description
Please refer to Note 4(10) for accounting policy on inventory valuation, Note 5 for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to inventory valuation, Note 6(4) for details of inventory. The balance of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses amounted to NT$30,788 thousand and NT$13,181 thousand, respectively, as at December 31, 2021.
~14~
The Company is engaged in research, development, production, manufacturing and sales of local area network chipset. Due to rapid changes in technology, the life cycle of products is short and easily affected by market prices, there is a higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or having obsolete inventory. The Company measures inventory for normal sales at the lower of cost or net realisable value method. For inventory aging over certain period, individual inventory valuation losses and obsolete inventory, provision for loss is made through individual identification and measured at net realisable value. As a result of the significant amount, numerous items, and since identifying obsolete and damaged inventory usually involves management judgement, it also belongs to one of the audit scopes involving professional judgement. Therefore, we determined the estimate of inventory valuation losses as one of the key areas of focus for this year’s audit.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Obtained an understanding of the business, industry, products and inventory aging to assess the provision policy of allowance for inventory valuation losses, verifying whether the related accounting policies are consistent with the last period, and evaluating whether the provision policy is reasonable.
-
Obtained inventory aging report from management, analyse and compare the different reasons for loss due to market value decline and obsolete and slow-moving inventories to assess the appropriateness of loss for market value decline and obsolete and slow-moving inventory policy.
-
For summary statement that management uses to valuate loss for market value decline and obsolete and slow-moving inventories, confirming whether it agrees with the statement details generated from system, and verifying that obsolete and slow-moving inventories which were provided valuation losses, has been completely listed in the statement.
-
Tested book value of ending inventory, through selecting samples and obtaining invoices of last period to verify whether they were measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value method, and recalculating and valuating the reasonableness of changes in allowance for inventory valuation losses.
-
Participating and observing the year-end physical inventory count to verify the existence and completeness of inventory, and checking the condition of inventory to assess the appropriateness of allowance for inventory valuation losses of obsolete and slow-moving inventories.
~15~
Other matters
Reference to report of the other auditors
The share of profit or loss of related companies recognised under the equity method, which is recognised in the audit report of other auditors for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, is NT($6,637) thousand and NT$(3,888) thousand, respectively. Additionally, the recognised comprehensive income comprising share of other comprehensive income in subsidiaries, were both NT$0 thousand for the abovementioned periods. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the balance of the investments accounted for using the equity method was NT$326,491 thousand and NT$333,128 thousand, respectively.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the Parent Company Only financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and for such internal controls as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the Parent Company Only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China,
~16~
we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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 report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the footnote disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
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 Company’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
~17~
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding the planned scope and timing of the audit, 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 parent company only financial statements of the current period 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DAVICOM SEMICONDUCTOR, INC.
Opinion
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DAVICOM Semiconductor, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other matter section of our report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
~27~
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Group’s key audit matters are as follows:
Evaluation of accounts receivable
Description
Please refer to Note 4(9) for accounting policies on accounts receivable recognition and valuation, Note 5 for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to impairment of accounts receivable, Note 6(4) for details of accounts receivable. The balance of accounts receivable amounted to NT$34,078 thousand as at December 31, 2021.
The Group’s accounts receivable arises from selling goods, and collecting in accordance with the credit period which is determined by the Credit Quality Control Policy of individual customers’ credit quality. Allowance for uncollectible accounts are based on expected credit losses during its existing period. For the purpose of measurement, underlying receivable should be grouped appropriately and the assumptions should be assessed and analyzed. The aging categories, expected loss ratio and forwardlooking information usually include subjective judgement, therefore, we determined the valuation of accounts receivable as one of the key areas of focus for this year’s audit.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Checked and tested the assumptions of expected credit losses and assessed the reasonableness of the aging categories, including objective evidences used to determine the accuracy of periods and credit terms. Verified whether there are long overdue unrecoverable accounts receivable on the list to assess the adequacy of allowance for uncollectible accounts.
-
Checked and tested accounts receivable aging schedule which is classified based on customer types, subsequent collections, and discussed with management for its assessment of recoverability of past due receivables.
~28~
Evaluation of inventories
Description
Please refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policy on inventory valuation, Note 5 for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to inventory valuation, Note 6(5) for details of inventory. The balance of inventory and allowance for inventory valuation losses amounted to NT$34,821 thousand and NT$13,181 thousand as at December 31, 2021, respectively.
The Group is engaged in research, development, production, manufacturing and sales of local area network chipset. Due to rapid changes in technology, the life cycle of products is short and easily affected by market prices, there is a higher risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or having obsolete inventory. The Group measures inventory for normal sales at the lower of cost or net realisable value method. For inventory aging over certain period, individual inventory valuation losses and obsolete inventory, provision for loss is made through individual identification and measured at net realizable value. As a result of the significant amount, numerous items, and since identifying obsolete and damaged inventory usually involves management judgement, it also belongs to one of the audit scopes involving professional judgement. Therefore, we determined the estimate of inventory valuation losses as one of the key areas of focus for this year’s audit.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Obtained an understanding of the business, industry, products and inventory aging to assess the provision policy of allowance for inventory valuation losses, verifying whether the related accounting policies are consistent with the last period, and evaluating whether the provision policy is reasonable.
-
Obtained inventory aging report from management, analyse and compare the different reasons for loss due to market value decline and obsolete and slow-moving inventories to assess the appropriateness of loss for market value decline and obsolete and slow-moving inventory policy.
~29~
-
For summary statement that management uses to valuate loss for market value decline and obsolete and slow-moving inventories, confirming whether it agrees with the statement details generated from system, and verifying that obsolete and slow-moving inventories which were provided valuation losses, has been completely listed in the statement.
-
Tested book value of ending inventory, through selecting samples and obtaining invoices of last period to verify whether they were measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value method, and recalculating and valuating the reasonableness of changes in allowance for inventory valuation losses.
-
Participating and observing the year-end physical inventory count to verify the existence and completeness of inventory, and checking the condition of inventory to assess the appropriateness of allowance for inventory valuation losses of obsolete and slow-moving inventories.
Other matters
Reference to report of the other auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary that are included in the financial statements. Total assets of the subsidiary amounted to NT$327,076 thousand and NT$334,257 thousand as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, constituting 27.87% and 28.81% of consolidated total assets, respectively. Operating income of the subsidiary amounted to NT$9,483 thousand and NT$7,669 thousand, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, constituting 3.35% and 3.28% of consolidated total operating income, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors.
Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion including an Other Matter paragraph on the parent company only financial statements of DAVICOM Semiconductor, Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
~30~
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal controls as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
~31~
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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 report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the footnote disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding the planned scope and timing of the audit, 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
~32~
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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.

Directors’ Remuneration Policy: The remuneration policy for directors of the Company is as follows:
(1) According to the Articles of Incorporation, whether company's income gain or loss, the company should pay remuneration to directors when they fulfill their responsibility. The remuneration shall be paid according to the directors’ contribution and value to company’s operation, and authorize the board of directors to pay the compensation according to the general pay levels in the industry.
(2) The payment standard of directors’ travelling expense and monthly compensation is set by the company's remuneration committee and the board of directors:
(A) Attendance fee for directors and independent directors per meeting is NTD 2,500 (once a day)
(B) Since all independent directors serve as members of functional committees (such as the nomination committee, remuneration committee and audit committee), they are responsible for participating in discussions and resolutions at committee meetings, so they have a monthly allowance of NTD25,000 for the fulfillment of business operations. General directors do not have this allowance.
(3) The company's annual director's remuneration shall be set aside not more than 2% of the current year's pre-tax earnings in accordance with the company's articles of incorporation. If the amount of directors' remuneration is more than NTD 600,000, it will be allocated to each of the 4 directors with NTD 150,000, and the excess amount will be shared equally by all directors and independent directors. If the director's compensation amount is less than NTD 600,000, the Director's remuneration is divided equally among the four directors.

----- Start of picture text -----
To establish a strong governance system and sound supervisory capabilities for this Corporation's shareholders meetings, and to strengthen
Article 1 management capabilities, these Rules are adopted pursuant to Article 5 of the Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for TWSE/GTSM
Listed Companies.
Article 2 The rules of procedures for this Corporation's shareholders meetings, except as otherwise provided by law, regulation, or the articles of
incorporation, shall be as provided in these Rules.
(Convening shareholders meetings and shareholders meeting notices)
Unless otherwise provided by law or regulation, this Corporation's shareholders meetings shall be convened by the board of directors.
This Corporation 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 or supervisors, and
upload them to the Market Observation Post System (MOPS) before 30 days before the date of a regular shareholders meeting or before 15 days
before the date of a special shareholders meeting. This Corporation shall prepare electronic versions of the shareholders meeting agenda and
supplemental meeting materials and upload them to the MOPS 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, this Corporation
shall also have prepared the shareholders meeting agenda and 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 this Corporation 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.
Election or dismissal of directors or supervisors, amendments to the articles of incorporation, reduction of capital, application for the approval of
ceasing its status as a public company, approval of competing with the company by directors, surplus profit distributed in the form of new shares,
reserve distributed in the form of new shares, the dissolution, merger, or demerger of the corporation, or any matter under Article 185, paragraph
1 shall be set out and the essential contents explained in the notice of the reasons for convening the shareholders meeting. None of the above
Article 3 matters may be raised by an extraordinary motion; the essential contents may be posted on the website designated by the competent authority in
charge of securities affairs or the corporation, and such website shall be indicated in the above notice.
Where re-election of all directors and supervisors as well as their inauguration date is stated in the notice of the reasons for convening the
shareholders meeting, after the completion of the re-election in said meeting such inauguration date may not be altered by any extraordinary
motion or otherwise in the same meeting.
A shareholder holding one percent or more of the total number of issued shares may submit to this Corporation 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, provided a shareholder proposal for urging the corporation to promote public interests or fulfill its
social responsibilities may still be included in the agenda by the board of directors.. In addition, when the circumstances of any subparagraph of
Article 172-1, paragraph 4 of the Company Act apply to a proposal put forward by a shareholder, the board of directors may exclude it from the
agenda.
Prior to the book closure date before a regular shareholders meeting is held, this Corporation shall publicly announce its acceptance of shareholder
proposals in writing or electronically, and the location and time period for their submission; the period for submission of shareholder proposals
may not be less than 10 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, this Corporation 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 the board of directors shall explain the reasons for exclusion of any shareholder proposals not included in the agenda.
For each shareholders meeting, a shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting by providing the proxy form issued by this Corporation
and stating the scope of the proxy's authorization.
Article 4 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
this Corporation 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.
After a proxy form has been delivered to this Corporation, if the shareholder intends to attend the meeting in person or to exercise voting rights
by correspondence or electronically, a written notice of proxy cancellation shall be submitted to this Corporation before two business days before
the meeting date. If the cancellation notice is submitted after that time, votes cast at the meeting by the proxy shall prevail.
Article 5 (Principles determining the time and place of a shareholders meeting)
The venue for a shareholders meeting shall be the premises of this Corporation, 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.
(Preparation of documents such as the attendance book)
This Corporation 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
Article 6 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. This Corporation 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.
This Corporation 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.

----- Start of picture text -----
This Corporation shall furnish attending shareholders with the meeting agenda book, annual report, attendance card, speaker's slips, voting slips,
and other meeting materials. Where there is an election of directors or supervisors, pre-printed ballots shall also be furnished.
When the government or a juristic person is a shareholder, it may be represented by more than one representative at a shareholders meeting. When
a juristic person is appointed to attend as proxy, it may designate only one person to represent it in the meeting.
(The chair and non-voting participants of a shareholders meeting)
If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the chairperson of the board. When the chairperson
of the board is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the chairperson, the vice chairperson shall act in place of the chairperson;
if there is no vice chairperson or the vice chairperson also is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the vice chairperson, the
chairperson shall appoint one of the managing directors to act as chair, or, if there are no managing directors, one of the directors shall be appointed
to act as chair. Where the chairperson does not make such a designation, the managing directors or the directors shall select from among themselves
one person to serve as chair.
Article 7 When a managing director or a director serves as chair, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the managing director or 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, at least one supervisor in person, and at least one member of each functional committee on behalf of the committee.
The attendance shall be recorded in the meeting minutes.
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.
This Corporation may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders meeting in a
non-voting capacity.
(Documentation of a shareholders meeting by audio or video)
Article 8 This Corporation, 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 recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
Attendance at shareholders meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated
according to the shares indicated by the attendance book and sign-in cards handed in plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised
by correspondence or electronically.
he chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of
the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined
Article 9 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 Article 175, paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all
shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders meeting shall be convened within 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.
(Discussion of proposals)
If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors. Votes shall be cast on
each separate proposal in the agenda (including extraordinary motions and amendments to the original proposals set out in the agenda). 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.
Article 10 he chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs
(including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of
the rules of procedure, the other members of the board of directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in
accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the
meeting.
The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary
motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the
chair may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting.
(Shareholder speech)
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
Article 11 of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.
Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5
minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the
chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violation.
When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders meeting, only one of the representatives so
appointed may speak on the same proposal.
After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
(Calculation of voting shares and recusal system)
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.
Article 12 When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the
interests of this Corporation, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting
rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is
concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 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.
Article 13 A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under
Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.

==> picture [518 x 558] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
When this Corporation holds a shareholder 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
meeting; it is therefore advisable that this Corporation 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 this Corporation 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 this Corporation, 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 Company Act and in this Corporation's articles of incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an
affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the 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.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original
proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed
rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall
be shareholders of this Corporation.
Vote counting for shareholders meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders meeting. Immediately
after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-
site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.
(Election of directors and supervisors)
The election of directors or supervisors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the applicable election and appointment rules
adopted by this Corporation, and the voting results shall be announced on-site immediately, including the names of those elected as directors and
Article 14 supervisors and the numbers of votes with which they were elected.
The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper
custody for at least 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.
Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes. The meeting minutes shall be signed or
sealed by the chair of the meeting and a copy distributed to each shareholder within 20 days after the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting
minutes may be produced and distributed in electronic form.
Article 15 This Corporation may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the MOPS.
The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the 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 this Corporation.
(Public disclosure)
On the day of a shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall compile in the prescribed format a statistical statement of the number of shares
Article 16 obtained by solicitors through solicitation and the number of shares represented by proxies, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at
the place of the shareholders meeting.
If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under Taiwan Stock
Exchange Corporation (or GreTai Securities Market) regulations, this Corporation shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within
the prescribed time period.
(Maintaining order at the meeting place)
Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders meeting shall wear identification cards or arm bands.
The chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to help maintain order at the meeting place. When proctors or security personnel help
Article 17 maintain order at the meeting place, they shall wear an identification card or armband bearing the word "Proctor."
At the place of a shareholders meeting, if a shareholder attempts to speak through any device other than the public address equipment set up by
this Corporation, the 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.
(Recess and resumption of a shareholders meeting)
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
Article 18 the meeting temporarily suspended and announce a time when, in view of the circumstances, the meeting will be resumed.
If the meeting venue is no longer available for continued use and not all of the items (including extraordinary motions) on the meeting agenda
have been addressed, the shareholders meeting may adopt a resolution to resume the meeting at another venue.
A resolution may be adopted at a shareholders meeting to defer or resume the meeting within five days in accordance with Article 182 of the
Company Act.
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.
