3. To conduct the private placement of common shares through cash capital increase. ("Private Placement Shares"). (proposed by the Board) Explanation:

  • (1) The purpose and the limit of the fund raising: The funds obtained from this private placement of common shares will be used for the construction of Micro LED 6-inch wafer fabs and purchase of epitaxy process and chip process related equipment, etc. In accordance with the relevant provisions of Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act, the Company plans to handle the issuance of private equity ordinary shares through cash capital increase in 2022, within the limit of 70,000 thousand ordinary shares (approximately 10.22% of the currently issued shares and 9.27% of the equity after the capital increase). It is proposed to authorize the board of directors to complete the one-off process within one year from the date of the resolution of the ordinary shareholders' meeting.

  • (2) The Method for Selecting Investors: The counterparties for this private placement shall meet the qualifications for specific persons listed in Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act. The selection method is to have a good understanding of the Company's operation, industrial development and directly or indirectly to contribute benefit to the future operation of the Company. The list of specific persons who have been negotiated in this cash capital increase and issuance of Private Placement Shares, the selection method and purpose, and the relationship with the company are explained as follows:

  • i. AU Optronics Corp.:

~5~

AU Optronics Corp. (hereinafter referred to as AUO) is the insider of the Company. In order to accelerate the pace of realizing the combination of die and panel in the future, to combine the existing foundation and technical advantages of LCD and LED and the integration of upstream and downstream of the industry chain, to improve the company's technical level, to obtain a stable product sales channel, to gain the first mover advantage and the right to speak for new product pricing, to break away from the vicious circle of bargaining competition, and to achieve the goal of Micro LED mass production, with the participation of AUO, the long-term cooperative relationship between the two parties can be deepened and ensured, as well as the confidentiality of technology patents.

  • ii. INNOLUX Corporation:

INNOLUX Corporation (hereinafter referred to as INNOLUX) is the world's only one-stop, comprehensive display total solution provider whose products cover large, medium and small sized LCD panels and touch panels. By integrating the product manufacturing supply chain in series, it can expand future product sales, product research and development cooperation or develop new markets. INNOLUX is a strategic investor who will benefit the Company's long-term development in the future.

  • iii. The top ten shareholders and relationships with the Company of AUO and INNOLUX is attached hereto as Attachment 7 (page 67~68).

  • (3) The Pricing Basis and Reasonableness: The specific persons to be recruited in this private placement are AUO and INNOLUX, AUO is the director of the Company and has the status of an insider. In accordance with the provisions of Article 4, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 2, Item 1 of "Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities", if the subscriber is an insider or related party of the Company, the price for issuing ordinary shares in the Proposed Private Placement shall not be lower than 80% of the reference price. Reference price is set to be the price determined by the following calculation, whichever is higher.

  • i. The simple arithmetical average closing price of the ordinary shares of the Company on any of the first, third or fifth trading day prior to the pricing date, after deducting the value of bonus shares issued as stock dividends and cash dividends, and adding back the value of the shares cancelled in connection with capital reduction.

  • ii. The simple arithmetical average closing price of the ordinary shares of the Company for thirty trading days prior to the pricing date, after deducting the value of bonus shares issued as stock dividends and cash dividends, and adding back the value of shares cancelled in connection with capital reduction.

~6~

Considering shareholders' equity and capital requirements, the subscription price for common shares of this private placement shall be no less than 90% of the reference price. It is proposed to for the shareholders meeting to authorize the Board of Directors to determine the actual price no lower than within the range approved by the shareholders meeting, depending on the status of specific investor(s) contacted and market conditions in the future.

The subscription price of this private placement should be reasonable based on the company's future prospects, the fact that the timing, counterparties and quantity of private placement securities are strictly limited, no retrospective public offering within three years, poor liquidity and other factors. It would have no significant influence on the rights and benefits of shareholders.

  • (4) Necessity and Anticipated Benefits of Private Placement:

  • i. Reasons for the Necessity: If the strategic partners purchase the Company’s shares from the market, this action could not ease the Company’s capital needs produced by the CAPEX for factory construction and production equipment. If the Company adopts public placement, the Company should observe shares for employees and public subscription in accordance with Article 267 of the Company Act and Article 28-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act. In addition, if the shares of subscription reach 10% of total issued shares, the Company should lift the amount of cash capital increase to overly exaggerate capital and ask existing shareholders to waive the subscription rights to allow the specific counterparties to subscribe. The uncertainty goes higher. In contrast to public placement, the fact that private common stock has the advantage of quick and easy fund raising and the restriction of nontransferability within three years will further ensure the long-term collaboration between the Company and the counterparties, as well as the confidentiality of technology patents. Therefore, financing through this private placement could increase the flexibility of funding sources.

  • ii. Anticipated Benefits: The funds obtained from this private placement of shares would be used for the construction of Micro LED 6-inch wafer fabs. Cost saving driven by the increase in size of wafer and breakthrough of mass transfer seeking from the end design of Micro LED and high-performance LCD panel could realize the goal of mass production of Micro LED and obtain the steady product channel not only to benefit the Company’s business and finance but also to bring more profit for shareholders.

  • (5) Rights and obligations of the common stock through this private placement: Rights and obligations of common stocks through private placement are generally the same with common stocks issued by the Company. However,

~7~

pursuant to Article 43-8 of the Securities and Exchange Act, with the exception of special conditions, common stocks issued through private placement will not be freely transferred until three years after the settlement date. An application for the public offering of common stocks through private placement and listing on the Taiwan Stock Exchange shall be made at least three years after the settlement date under related laws and regulations.

  • (6) Whether any material change in the Company’s management control occurs after AUO and Innolux were introduced.

  • i. AUO is a director of the Company. As of the end of February 2022, AUO Group holds a total of 9.26% of the Company's equity. It is expected that after participating in the subscription of 67,250,000 private ordinary shares in this issuance, it will hold approximately 17.31% of the Company's equity after the capital increase.

  • ii. AUO and the Company are a long-term strategic partnership. The Company believes that the corporate governance structure of the Board is sufficient and comprehensive for overseeing the Company’s substantial actions and protecting shareholders’ value. The Audit Committee currently consisting of five independent directors is constituted by more than half of the seats of the Board. The independent directors have reviewed and agreed every resolution to be proposed at the upcoming Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, including the share issuance resolution. The independent director seats occupy 55.6% of the total Board seats of the Company. We believe that the Company has sufficient independence to reduce the potential risk of abuse of share issuance mandate by insiders to benefit themselves. The Audit Committee will review the qualifications of potential strategic investors and assess their capacities of creating synergies to the Company.

  • iii. INNOLUX Group holds a total of 0.14% of the Company's equity as of the end of February 2022, and is expected to hold approximately 0.49% of the Company's equity after participating in the subscription of 2,750,000 private common shares in this capital increase.

  • iv. In summary, after the Company handles the private placement case and introduces strategic investors, there should be no change in the shareholding structure resulting in the transfer of control or the loss of control by the original management.

  • (7) In this private placement case, AUO participating as a strategic investor applied to TWSE and obtained a letter of consent. Insiders could get within the quota of 69,000,000 private ordinary shares, and the actual subscription price should not be lower than 10% off the reference price.

~8~

  • (8) Within one year prior to the decision of the board of directors to conduct private placement of securities, the change in the number of directors has reached the standard of a major change in management rights in Article 4, Paragraph 3 of "Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities". An evaluation opinion on the necessity and reasonableness of private placement issued by the securities underwriter is .

  • attached hereto as Attachment 8 (page 69~76)

  • (9) It is proposed that the Board to be authorized by the Members in the 2022 AGM with full power handles main points of the Proposed Private Placement, including but not limited to the actual issued shares, issue price, selection of investors, pricing date, record date of capital increase, plan items, progress of fund use, anticipated benefits, anticipated phases of private placement, other matters not prescribed herein pertaining to the Proposed Private Placement, and cases needing to be revised upon regulator’s requests or as a result of the evaluation of the operation or objective environmental changes.

ENNOSTAR Inc. 2021 Business Report

The macroeconomy has not held up under the impact of COVID-19, but Ennostar was not affected due to its steady and safe operation, and has shown a brilliant achievement in the first year of establishment. The consolidated revenue of the Company was NT$36.425 billion; the net operating profit was NT$2.110 billion; the net income attributed to the parent company was NT$2.178 billion; and the after-tax earnings per share (EPS) was NT$3.21. There has been a significantly improvement compared with the losses of EPISTAR and LEXTAR group in 2020.

Insight into Future Needs, Continue to Innovate, and Become the Best Investment Platform of Compound Semiconductor

Prior to the establishment of Ennostar, the Group's subsidiaries had insight into the changes of LED industry and transferred the business focus from general lighting, which still had a large market share at that time, to high-tech and high value-added applications such as the new-generation display, vehicle lighting, sensing lighting and special lighting, and extended its core competence of III-V compound semiconductor epitaxy and process to the new-generation compound semiconductor, in the hope that the core competence-based business layout could make the profitability of the Group more versatile. Although many challenges were encountered in the process, with the joint efforts of all employees and partners of the Group, each of the problems was gradually solved, and the achievements brewing for many years were finally seen in the first year of Ennostar's establishment:

1. Display:

Through cooperation with well-known international brands, the Group has taken the lead in launching the world's first mass-produced mini LED backlight product, setting a milestone in new high-quality displays for the tablet PC and laptop segments around the world, and the proportion of mini LED in the Group's revenue has also increased to 25%. We foresee that driven by international benchmark brands, the demand for mini LED will continue to grow, and Ennostar will further apply its mini LED massproduction experience and ability to the realization of micro LED products, and help the industry quickly achieve the goal of micro LED mass production.

~11~

2. Automotive:

In addition to maintaining the high market share in the automotive market, we work with our partners to develop large-size and high brightness mini backlight displays and a number of innovative automotive products to meet the need of electric self-driving, such as in-vehicle driving monitoring system (DMS), advanced driving assistance system (ADAS), and 3D gesture recognition application. We hope to use the Group's product technology and quality improvement to help car factories provide a safer and more convenient driving environment.

  1. Sensing:

In response to the diverse sensing needs of the market, Ennostar actively improved the technical power of products and went deep into the industrial layout. Internally, we showed extremely high R&D energy and developed the world's first optical power short wave infrared technology that can be applied to the detection of special physiological data; externally, we invested in Tyntek Corporation to strengthen the light receiving technology and integrate the sensing light-emitting elements to achieve a complete sensing layout.

  1. Special lighting:

  2. Professional lighting that integrates light, machinery and electricity and plant lighting that requires high efficiency are the main directions of our development. In addition, as the demand for sterilization has increased significantly since the outbreak of COVID-19, Ennostar has provided a UVC LED integration solution; the sterilization effect of our products reaches 99.9%, and can cater to different lighting angles to meet the needs of all-round sterilization. At present, we have cooperated with many famous international brands, and have introduced products into many application fields such as white appliances, water purification equipment, sweeping robots and medical institutions.

  3. New-generation compound semiconductors:

  4. Unikorn Semiconductor, one of the three subsidiaries of Ennostar, has the OEM technology and ability of compound semiconductors such as class III semiconductors, 5G, power device and microwave components. At present, it is carrying out a capacity expansion plan in line with the needs of customers, and we hope to let you see the layout results in the year 2023.

To realize the future demand and create a leading position in the industry is not only the original intention, but also the business direction of Ennostar. We expect to start from our core competence, integrate the resources and strength of the Group and partners, and continue to invest in innovative R&D, so as to realize the blueprint of the latest generation of compound semiconductors, and become the "best compound semiconductor investment platform" in the world.

~12~

Give Play to the Key Influence of the Enterprise, Embed ESG into the DNA of the Group and Jointly Create the Power for "Happy Life" With ESG

ESG is one of the hottest topics in recent years, and major enterprises have announced their ESG goals and plans. Although the subsidiaries of Ennostar have also actively developed and participated in relevant activities in the past few years, they always do it quietly as a "humble hero". However, with the establishment of Ennostar, we are aware that as a leading enterprise with resources, we should not only do a good job in our own business, but also give full play to the influence of the enterprise to drive the supply chain, and become a benchmark for others to follow. Therefore, in 2021, Ennostar officially established a dedicated ESG unit and an ESG enterprise sustainability committee, with the operation levels from the board of directors to the three subsidiaries. In addition to setting short, medium and long-term goals, Ennostar established a group sustainability college to create an ESG atmosphere to let ESG go deep into every corner of the Group, in a hope to develop ESG with our core competencies to let the enterprise create the power of "well-being" from inside to outside, and internalize ESG into the Group’s DNA, so as to continue to plough deep and grow upward in a virtuous cycle and a create higher enterprise value.

~15~

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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 key audit matters in relation to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 are outlined as follows:

Assessment of business combination

Description

ENNOSTAR Inc. acquired a 100% equity interest in Lextar Electronics Corporation by exchanging 0.275 common share of ENNOSTAR Inc. into 1 common share of Lextar Electronics Corporation in accordance with the Enterprise Merger and Acquisition Act and other related regulations on January 6, 2021 (the effective date for the merger). The allocation of acquisition price for the merger was based on the allocation report issued by the external appraiser. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination was measured and allocated in the business combination.

As the assumptions of the acquisition price allocation in the business combination involves management’s estimates, and are significant to the financial statements, we consider the business combination a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the key audit matter mentioned above:

  1. Inquired and evaluated the professional ability, qualifications and objectiveness of the independent appraisal expert appointed by the management.

  2. Evaluated the reasonableness of the assumptions for allocation of the acquisition price and appointed our financial advisory experts to assist in the process of evaluating the acquisition price report (including the valuation models and the parameters adopted by the Group, identifiable intangible assets and estimated economic benefits life). Verified the accuracy of the calculations of the valuation model.

~16~

  1. Obtained the accounting entries of business combination and ensured the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination were recognised in accordance with the abovementioned price allocation report and the related information was fully disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Evaluation of Inventories

Description

Please refer to Note 4(13) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for the accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to inventory valuation, Note 6(5) for the explanations regarding inventory valuation. As of December 31, 2021, the balances of inventories and the allowance for valuation loss were NT$6,365,509 thousand and NT$677,130 thousand, respectively. The Group is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of LED wafers, chips, packages and models. Due to rapid technological developments, short product lifespans and frequent fluctuations of market prices, the risk of decline in market value and obsolescence for inventories is high. The Group evaluates net realized values for inventories which aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories in order to provide allowance for valuation loss. Since the identification of the above obsolete inventories and their respective net realizable values are subject to management’s judgment, it was identified as one of the key audit matters.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Obtained an understanding of the Group’s operations and the nature of its industry and interviewed with management to understand the probability of future sales for those out-of-date inventories and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for valuation loss.

  2. Obtained and validated the accuracy of the detailed listings of inventories aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories. Validated information of historical sales and discounts for those obsolete inventories to assess the reasonableness of policies in providing allowance for inventory valuation loss.

Emphasis of matter

We draw attention to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, which describes that ENNOSTAR Inc. used 0.5 ordinary share in exchange for 1 ordinary share of Epistar Corporation to acquire a 100% equity interest of Epistar Corporation. The aforementioned share exchange pertains to a reorganization of entities under common control. In substance, ENNOSTAR Inc. is the successor company of Epistar Corporation. Thus, ENNOSTAR Inc., in its consolidated financial statements, accounted for the relevant assets and liabilities received using the book values in the financial statements of Epistar Corporation. Also, ENNOSTAR Inc. restated the prior period consolidated financial statements as if Epistar Corporation had always been consolidated since the beginning.

Other matter – Audit by Other Independent Auditors

We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements and the information on the consolidated subsidiaries disclosed in Note 13 was based solely on the reports of other independent auditors. Total assets of those consolidated subsidiaries amounted to NT$273,986 thousand and NT$464,772 thousand, constituting 0.36% and 0.84% of the consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and total operating revenues were both NT$0 thousand for the years then ended, constituting 0% of the consolidated total operating revenues as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Furthermore, we did not audit the 2021 and 2020 financial statements of certain equity investments accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors whose reports thereon were furnished to us and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and certain information disclosed in Note 13 relative to these investments, is based solely on the reports of the other independent auditors. These equity investments amounted to NT$1,046,503 thousand and NT$26,926 thousand, representing 1.36% and 0.05% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and their comprehensive income (including share of loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method and share of other comprehensive income/(loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method) amounted to NT$7,403 thousand and NT$10,507 thousand, representing 0.47% and (0.13%) of the consolidated comprehensive gain (loss) for the years then ended.

~18~

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have also expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of ENNOSTAR Inc. as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

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

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 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.

~19~

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

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

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

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

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

~20~

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of ENNOSTAR Inc.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheet of ENNOSTAR Inc. (the “Company’’) as at December 31, 2021, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the period from January 6, 2021(date of establishment) to December 31, 2021, 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 independent auditors, as described in the other matters 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 its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the period from January 6, 2021 to December 31, 2021 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 audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Auditors” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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 Auditors in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

~29~

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, 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.

The key audit matters in relation to the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 are outlined as follows:

Assessment of business combination

Description

ENNOSTAR Inc. acquired a 100% equity interest in Lextar Electronics Corporation by exchanging 0.275 common share of ENNOSTAR Inc. into 1 common share of Lextar Electronics Corporation in accordance with the Enterprise Merger and Acquisition Act and other related regulations on January 6, 2021 (the effective date for the merger). The allocation of acquisition price for the merger was based on the allocation report issued by the external appraiser. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination was measured and allocated in the business combination.

As the assumptions of the acquisition price allocation in the business combination involves management’s estimates, and are significant to the financial statements, we consider the business combination a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the key audit matter mentioned above:

  1. Inquired and evaluated the professional ability, qualifications and objectiveness of the independent appraisal expert appointed by the management.

  2. Evaluated the reasonableness of the assumptions for allocation of the acquisition price and appointed our financial advisory experts to assist in the process of evaluating the acquisition price report (including the valuation models and the parameters adopted by the Group, identifiable intangible assets and estimated economic benefits life). Verified the accuracy of the calculations of the valuation model.

~30~

  1. Obtained the accounting entries of business combination and ensured the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination were recognised in accordance with the abovementioned price allocation report and the related information was fully disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

Investments accounted for using the equity method-evaluation of inventories

Description

The subsidiaries of the Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of LED wafers, chips, packages and models. Due to rapid technological developments, short product lifespans and frequent fluctuations of market prices, the risk of decline in market value and obsolescence for inventories is high. The subsidiaries of the Company evaluates net realized values for inventories which aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories in order to provide allowance for valuation loss. Since the identification of the above obsolete inventories and their respective net realizable values are subject to management’s judgment, it was identified as one of the key audit matters.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Obtained an understanding of the Company and subsidiaries’s operations and the nature of its industry and interviewed with management to understand the probability of future sales for those out-of-date inventories and to evaluate the reasonableness of allowance for valuation loss.

  2. Obtained and validated the accuracy of the detailed listings of inventories aged over a specific period of time and specific obsolete inventories. Validated information of historical sales and discounts for those obsolete inventories to assess the reasonableness of policies in providing allowance for inventory valuation loss.

Other matter – Audit by Other Independent Auditors

We did not audit the 2021 financial statements of certain equity investments accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors, whose reports thereon were furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the parent company only financial statements and certain information disclosed in Note 13 relative to these investments, was based solely on the reports of the other independent auditors. These equity investments amounted to NT$1,320,489 thousand, representing 2.50% of the parent company only total assets as of December 31, 2021, and their comprehensive loss (including share of loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method and share of other comprehensive income/(loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method) amounted to NT$1,315 thousand, representing 0.06% of the parent company only comprehensive gain for the period then ended.

~31~

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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

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

~32~

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

  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.

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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 auditor’s 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 disclosures, 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 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.

~33~

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.

March 28, 2022

~69~

I. Foreword

ENNOSTAR Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Ennostar” or the “Company”) plans to handle a rights issue of ordinary shares through private placement in 2022 (hereinafter referred to as the "private placement") in accordance with Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act in order to meet the capital needs of developing the next-generation display technology and improve the Company's operational competitiveness while taking into consideration the timeliness and convenience of fund raising. The Company plans to handle this private placement by resolution of the board meeting on March 28, 2022; the maximum number of ordinary shares to be issued is 70,000 thousand shares, at a private placement price of no less than 90% of the reference price. At the same time, the offeree selection method and purpose, necessity and expected benefits will be discussed, and the case is expected to be completed in one go within one year from the date of the resolution of the general shareholders’ meeting, The private placement can be formally handled only after the resolution of the general shareholders’ meeting on May 31, 2022. In accordance with the relevant regulations such as "Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets by Public Companies" and "Questions and Answers on the Securities Private Placement System", the board meeting shall decide to contact the securities underwriter to issue an evaluation opinion on the necessity and rationality of the private placement if there will be significant changes in the management right within the year before the private placement or after the introduction of strategic investors, which will lead to significant changes in the management right. The offerees of this private placement of the Company are insiders and strategic investors, and there will be no significant change in the management right within one year from the completion and delivery of the private-placement ordinary shares. However, the management right has changed significantly within one year before the resolution of the board meeting of the Company for the private placement, so the securities underwriter is appointed to issue an evaluation opinion on the necessity and rationality of this private placement in accordance with the regulations.

We hereby declare that the content of this opinion is only used as a reference for the resolution of the Company's board meeting on March 28, 2022 and the general shareholders’ meeting on May 31, 2022 regarding this private placement, and shall not be used for any other purposes. The content of this opinion is based on the information provided by ENNOSTAR Inc. and the information announced on the Market Observation Post System; this opinion letter does not assume any legal responsibility for the future changes in the Company's plan for the rights issue of ordinary shares through private placement, or any other circumstances that may lead to changes in the content of this opinion letter.

II. Company overview

The Company was formed on January 6, 2021 by the two major LED groups in Taiwan, Epistar Corporation and Lextar Corporation, through share exchange. After its establishment, the two sides carried out resource integration and implemented professional division of labor. Epistar focused on the upstream and midstream, and Lextar became one of the important customers of Epistar, while Lextar focused on the downstream, and Epistar became one of the important suppliers of Lextar. The Company focuses on the development blueprint and resource utilization of products and technologies to accelerate the transformation of R&D into mass production and avoid repeated investment, in order to reduce costs, maximize benefits, and become a transnational investment platform for the compound semiconductor industry.

~70~

Ennostar Group focuses on the technical R&D and manufacturing of compound semiconductors, and accelerates the expansion of the application of mini/micro LEDs. The products of the Group cover Epitaxy, chips, packaging and modules, and can provide customized services and solutions for customer supply chain integration. The application scope of the Group’s products covers displays, professional lighting, vehicles, sensing, 5G communication and power devices.

III. Contents of the private placement plan

In order to meet the capital demand for the development of the next-generation display technology, the Company plans to issue 70,000 shares of ordinary shares for this private placement, which will be issued in one go within one year from the date of the resolution of the general shareholders’ meeting based on the actual time point of the Company's capital demand. The offerees of this private placement are tentatively determined to be AU Optronics Corp. (hereinafter referred to as AUO) and Innolux Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Innolux), and the basis for the subscription price of this private placement is the higher of "the simple arithmetic average of the closing price of ordinary shares 1, 3 or 5 business days before the pricing date, minus bonus shares and stock and cash dividends, and adding the stock price after capital reduction and before ex-dividend" and "the simple arithmetic average of the closing price of ordinary shares 30 business days before the pricing date, minus bonus shares and stock and cash dividends, and adding the stock price after capital reduction and before exdividend" which shall be taken as the reference price of this private placement. The actual subscription price shall not be lower than 90% of the reference price.

IV. Explanation on the necessity of the private placement of ordinary shares

Due to the excellent display function, self-illumination, low energy consumption, long product life and no branding, micro LEDs are regarded as the trend of the next generation of display technology in the industry. However, at this stage, the mass production cost of micro LEDs is still very high, and a breakthrough in the process technology and yield are required to reduce the cost in order to achieve the goal of popularization in the consumer market. In order to accelerate the achievement of this goal, reduction of production costs and the massive transfer technology of micro LED chips integrated with high-level LCD backplanes are the primary difficulties to be overcome. The Company plans to build a 6-inch wafer factory dedicated to micro LEDs (including the nitride process used for blue and green light products and the quaternary process used for red light products), which can increase the number of wafers per unit area by 25% compared with 4-inch wafers, and reduce production costs through the benefits brought by the improvement of wafer substrate size. In addition, the Company cooperates with the strategic partner AUO to seek a breakthrough in the chip and panel integration technology, so as to obtain the first mover advantage in the next generation of display technology. The Company also relies on the complete layout of strategic partners AUO and Innolux in display products to obtain a broad and stable export to strengthen the competitiveness of the Company. In order to meet the capital expenditure for the construction of plant and Epitaxy and chip processing equipment, if the strategic partners buy the equity of the Company in the market, the funds spent will flow into the hands of the original shareholders, which cannot alleviate the capital demand of the Company due to capital expenditure. Therefore, buying in the market is not adopted for the strategic cooperation to increase the shareholding ratio of the Company.

~71~

For this strategic cooperation, rights issue of ordinary shares through private placement is adopted instead of public offering. The main reason is that if public offering is adopted, shares need to be reserved for the Company's employees’ subscription and public subscription in accordance with Article 267 of the Company Act and Article 28-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act. The remaining shares are for the subscription of the original shareholders according to the shareholding ratio recorded in the shareholder register on the book-close date for share subscription. AUO held 26,319 thousand shares of the Company by the end of February 2022; plus the 20,686 thousand shares and 16,413 thousand shares of the Company held by Ronly Venture Corp. and Konly Venture Corp. which are 100% reinvestment of AUO, the AUO Group totally holds 63,418 thousand shares of the Company, with a shareholding ratio of 9.26%. At the end of February 2022, Innolux held 954 thousand shares of the Company through its 100% reinvestment InnoJoy Investment Corporation, with a shareholding ratio of 0.14%. If the subscription reaches 10% of the shares issued, in addition to the need to increase the number of shares to be issued for the rights issue which will expand the share capital excessively, the original shareholders need to give up the subscription in order to allow the strategic partners to subscribe as specific parties, and the uncertainty of whether they can obtain a sufficient quota will be greatly increased. In addition, this strategic cooperation will jointly develop the next generation of display technology. The role of the Company is to take charge of the production of Epitaxy and chips in the upstream of the micro LED industry chain, while AUO, with its years of experience and technology in the display industry, is expected to have a deeper understanding of chip and panel design to accelerate the integration of chips and panels in the future. With the advantages of complete product lines and channels of the strategic partners, the strategic cooperation provides a broad access for products. Through the upstream and downstream integration of the industrial chain, it is hoped to realize the mass production of micro LEDs in 2025. Compared with public offering, considering the technical difficulty, research and development time and urgency of capital demand, private placement of ordinary shares has the advantages of rapid and simple capital raising, and the fact that privately placed ordinary shares are non-transferable within three years will also ensure the long-term cooperative relationship between the Company and the offerees as well as the confidentiality of technical patents.

To sum up, in response to the funds required by the Company to develop the next generation of display technology, the strategic partners do not increase the shareholding ratio in the Company by buying in the market. At the same time, based on the feasibility of achieving the subscription quota by the strategic partners, the degree of the Company's share capital expansion, the timeliness of rapid and simple fund raising, the stability of long-term cooperative relationship and the confidentiality of technical patents, it is necessary to issue ordinary rights shares through private placement for this strategic cooperation.

V. Evaluation of the rationality of the price setting of the private placement

The specific parties as the offerees in this private placement of the Company are AUO and Innolux. AUO is a director of the Company and has the insider status. In accordance with item 1, subparagraph 2, paragraph 1, Article 4 of the "Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities", if the offeree is an insider or related party of the Company, the price of each share of the private-placement ordinary shares shall not be less than 80% of the reference price (the higher of the following two benchmark prices).

(I) The simple arithmetic average of the closing price of ordinary shares one, three or five

~72~

business days before the pricing date, minus bonus shares and stock and cash dividends, and adding the stock price after capital reduction and before ex-dividend.

  • (II) The simple arithmetic average of the closing price of ordinary shares 30 business days before the pricing date, minus bonus shares and stock and cash dividends, and adding the stock price after capital reduction and before ex-dividend.

Considering the shareholders' equity and capital demand, the private placement subscription price is tentatively set at 90% of the reference price. For the actual issuance price, a proposal will be submitted to the shareholders' meeting to authorize the board meeting to set it in accordance with the laws and regulations and within the range and percentage determined by the shareholders' meeting, with reference to the current market and Company conditions.

The price of this private placement is higher than the minimum private placement price set by the competent authorities for private placements aiming at introducing insiders (not lower than 80% of the reference price). Considering that there are strict restrictions on the Company’s future prospects and the timing, targets and quantity of private placement securities, as well as factors such as no further public offering within three years and poor liquidity, the price of this private placement should be reasonable and not have a significant impact on the rights and interests of the Company's shareholders.

VI. Selection of offerees and assessment of feasibility and necessity

Since 2008, with the breakthrough in chip technology, the penetration rate of LEDs in backlight and lighting applications has gradually increased, and the demand has increased significantly. However, the industry suffered from an oversupply due to the impact from the irrational subsidy policy of the Chinese government to support local manufacturers in mainland China and expand the production capacity, and manufacturers also suffered from a price-cutting competition. At the same time, the new OLED display technology came out in 2010. With its advantages of self-luminescence, fast response, wide angle, high chroma, thinness and power saving, it gradually expanded its proportion in mobile phone, tablet and notebook applications. However, as the investment in OLEDs was relatively high, Taiwanese manufacturers did not focus on the technology, thus making Taiwan's LCD industry face the threat of new technologies and a new round of market competition, which also affected the subsequent growth of LED backlight products.

In order to respond to the pressure from the red supply chain and OLEDs, in 2020, AUO integrated the Company’s advanced mini LED backlight technology and launched products for high-end business, gaming laptops and monitors. In the following year, iPad and MacBook equipped with mini LEDs were launched, and the Company become the first supplier of the benchmark customer. With the miniaturization of the chip size, the technical thresholds and quality requirements of products have increased, and the backlight technology of mini LEDs has gradually become the Company's competitive niche that widens the gap with its competitors.

The fund from the Company's private placement case will be used for the construction of a dedicated 6-inch wafer fab for micro LEDs (including the nitride process used in blue and green light products and the quaternary process used in red light products), and the purchase of Epitaxy process and chip process related equipment. The selection of specific parties is mainly based on the fact that the offerees already have a certain degree of understanding of

~73~

the Company's operation and will directly benefit the Company's long-term development and competition; their participation in the private placement should be able to successfully inject capital into the Company's operation in the short term and strengthen the Company's management and competitiveness. The offerees shall be selected from those meeting the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act. According to the assessment results, both AUO and Innolux are the leading manufacturers of LCDs in the mid-to-downstream of Taiwan's optoelectronics industry and have a good understanding of the Company’s industry, business, finance and overall operation mode. In addition, the Company already has cooperation experience with AUO on mini LEDs, and chip miniaturization and technical level improvement have become the moat for the Company to compete with its competitors. At the same time, the R&D teams of the two parties are committed to cooperating in the development of micro LEDs for the next-generation display technology. Although the products have not yet been mass-produced and only micro LED demonstration products were introduced at the Touch Taiwan 2021 exhibition, in the future, both parties will start from micro LED chips and highend LCD backpanel design, and seek breakthroughs in mass transfer technology. In terms of terminal sales, AUO has a complete product line of large, medium and small size panels, and ranks among the top three in the world in the shipment of notebook computer panels, desktop display panels, automotive panels and next-generation high-end 8K TV panels. Innolux, on the other hand, relies on its resources from Hon Hai Group and ranks among the top five in the world in the panel cargo area and the market shares of LCD screens, TVs, notebook computers, tablet computers, smart phones and automotive panes. The complete layout of strategic partners in display products can provides a large and stable outlet of terminal products. Through this strategic alliance, combined with the existing LCD and LED foundation and technological advantages and the integration of upstream and downstream of the industry chain, it is expected to improve the Company's technical level and obtain a stable outlet, leading Taiwan's display industry to shine in the application of next-generation display technology, obtain the first mover advantage and the right to speak on the pricing of new products, and break away from the vicious circle of price-cutting competition.

To sum up, through this strategic cooperation and capital injection, the Company can build a dedicated production line for micro LEDs, seek breakthroughs in mass transfer technology, obtain a stable outlet, and expand its technological leading edge. In terms of shareholders' rights and interests, the selection of offerees in this private placement case is legal, and has its feasibility and necessity.

VII. Impact of the private placement on the Company's business, finance and shareholders' equity

(I) Impact on the Company's business

In the past, the industry suffered from an oversupply due to the impact from the irrational subsidy policy of the Chinese government to support local manufacturers in mainland China and expand the production capacity, and manufacturers also suffered from a price-cutting competition. At the same time, the new OLED display technology made Taiwan's LCD industry face the threat of new technologies and a new round of market competition. This private placement case is to develop micro LEDs for the next generation display technology, with the consideration of integrating the existing LCD and LED foundation, technical advantages and the upstream and downstream of the industry chain, which are expected to improve the Company's technical level and obtain a stable outlet, thus leading Taiwan's display industry to

~74~

shine in the application of next-generation display technology, gain the first-mover advantage and the right to speak on new product pricing, and break away from the vicious circle of pricecutting competition. These can help improve the Company’s overall operating performance, thereby increasing the Company's revenue and profit, and should have positive benefits to the Company's business.

(II) Impact on the company's finance

The Company plans to issue no more than 70,000 thousand shares of ordinary shares for this private placement, at a private placement price of no less than 90% of the reference price. The funds raised will be used for the construction of a dedicated 6-inch wafer fab for micro LEDs (including the nitride process used in blue and green light products and the quaternary process used in red light products), and the purchase of Epitaxy process and chip process related equipment. Considering the large capital expenditure required for this factory expansion, if the Company relies too much on financial institutions, it will be easily affected by credit limit restrictions and financial tightening policies, which will increase the interest burden and weaken the Company's ability to adapt to changes in the industry. Therefore, the immediate and effective injection of funds from this private placement will improve the Company's capital ratio, reduce the dependence on bank loans, strengthen the Company's financial structure and reserve space for future fund scheduling; all these will have positive benefits for the Company's overall financial situation.

(III) Impact on the rights and interests of the Company's shareholders

The Company's private placement case is based on a private placement price not lower than 90% of the reference price, which is still higher than the face value of NT$10 per share and the net value per share at the end of 2021. In addition to capital injection from strategic partners to meet the funding requirement for factory expansion, the Company already has cooperation experience with AUO on mini LEDs. Through the joint efforts of the R&D teams of both parties, the realization of the mass transfer technology that integrates micro LED chips and high-end LCD backpanels will be accelerated. In terms of terminal sales, the complete layout of AUO and Innolux in display products provides a large and stable outlet for terminal products, and the regulation that private ordinary shares cannot be freely transferred within three years can ensure the confidentiality of the Company's technology patents and operational stability. Therefore, the private placement case should have a positive impact on the rights and interests of the Company's shareholders.

VIII. Summary

Considering the Company’s capital need for the development of micro LEDs for the nextgeneration display technology, if the strategic partners buy the equity of the Company in the market, it will not alleviate the capital demand of the Company for the construction of a dedicated production line for micro LEDs. A capital increase by public offering will expand the share capital excessively, and will increase the uncertainty of the completion of fund raising. In order to enable the Company to successfully raise the funds needed for operation in a short period of time, the offerees for this private placement are the insider and related party AUO and the strategic investor Innolux. In addition to meeting the capital needs for plant expansion through strategic partner funding, the Company and AUO have already cooperated in the mini LED field. Through the joint efforts of the R&D teams of both parties, the realization of the mass transfer technology that integrates micro LED chips and high-end LCD backpanels will be

~75~

accelerated. In terms of terminal sales, the complete layout of AUO and Innolux in display products provides a large and stable outlet for terminal products, and the regulation that private ordinary shares cannot be freely transferred within three years can ensure the confidentiality of the Company's technology patents and operational stability, which is beneficial to the rights and interests of the Company's shareholders. In addition, the price of this private placement will not be lower than 90% of the reference price, which is in compliance with laws and regulations and should not have a significant adverse impact on the Company's business, finance, shareholders' rights and interests. To sum up, considering the feasibility, timeliness and issuance cost of fund raising and the financial and operational status of the Company, this private placement case should be necessary and reasonable.

We as the securities underwriter believe that the Company's proposed private placement is necessary and reasonable in accordance with relevant regulations such as the “Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities”.
