Proposed by the Board of Directors

Proposal:

To note for record the Company’s Audit Committee’s review report on the share swap agreement between IBF Financial Holdings (hereinafter referred to as “IBF”) and the Company
Explanation: 1. Pursuant to Article 6 of the Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act and Articles 2 and 6 of the Regulations Governing the Establishment and Related Matters of Special Committees of Public Companies for Merger/Consolidation and Acquisition, the Audit Committee shall exercise the powers of the special committee on the Company’s M&A matters.
In accordance with the said regulations, the Audit Committee has engaged CPA Shu-Chen Chang of BDO Taiwan as an independent expert to issue an opinion on the fairness of the Transaction Consideration. Please refer to pages 52-65 for the opinion on the fairness of the Transaction Consideration issued by the independent expert (the “Fairness Opinion”). The independent expert used the comparable companies method in the market approach and the market price method and other valuation techniques to obtain the value range. Eventually, the independent expert used the market price method of the Level 1 valuation technique input to determine the reasonable range of the Company’s equity value per share on the valuation base date (i.e., October 14, 2021) which ranged from NT$17.04 to NT$18.67. In addition, the independent expert used the valuation technique of matrix pricing in the market approach and

eventually concluded that the theoretical value of each share of the preferred shares issued by IBF ranges from NT$16.20 to NT$16.59. Moreover, it is deemed appropriate to have the issue price per share lower than the theoretical value. Given the Company’s current operation status and goingconcern assumption, the independent expert, based on the foregoing results of the Transaction Consideration, thinks that if the Company adopts the share swap price (IBF pays 55% in cash and 45% in preferred share issued by IBF) within the said equity value range to carry out the Share Swap or the Company determines the Transaction Consideration based on the best interest of its shareholders, it is reasonable in terms of shareholders’ interests protection.

The share swap proposal was passed with the approval of all committee members in attendance without any objection. The Audit Committee’s review report was reported to the Company's Board of Directors and is submitted to the shareholders’ meeting. Please refer to page 9 of the Handbook for the Audit Committee’s review report.

Proposal: To approve the share swap agreement the Bank signed with IBF Financial Holdings for a share swap, after which the Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBF and submit an application to delist its securities from the Taiwan Stock Exchange in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, if the shareholders’ meeting passes the share swap proposal by resolution
Explanation: 1. The Company proposes to enter into a share swap agreement (the “Share Swap Agreement”, -
please refer to pages 10 51 of the Handbook) with IBF, pursuant to which IBF will issue preferred shares and pay cash to the Company’s shareholders as the consideration for IBF to obtain 100% equity of the Company through the share swap (the “Share Swap”). After the completion of the Share Swap, the Company will become a whollyowned subsidiary of IBF. Please see explanations below:
(1)The Company proposes the Share Swap so as to strengthen its competitiveness and business synergy. After the completion of the Share Swap, it is expected that, with the support of the integrated extensive resources of the IBF Group, the Company will become more competitive and will expand its international development under the leadership of the IBF Group.
(2)In consideration of the Company’s market price, operating conditions, future development and other relevant factors, both parties negotiated and agreed that IBF will exchange each share of the Company’s common stock for NT$9.466730 in cash and 0.493344 shares

of IBF preferred shares (the issue price is expected to be NT$15.70), equivalent to NT$17.212231 per share in total as the transaction consideration (“Transaction Consideration”), which will be paid on the share swap record date to all shareholders listed in the Company’s shareholders roster on the share swap record date (exclusive of the Company’s treasury shares).

(3)After the completion of the Share Swap, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBF, and thus it will not affect the net value.

(4)The completion of the Share Swap is subject to numbers of condition precedents, including but not limited to the adoption of the Share Swap and the Share Swap Agreement by resolutions of both parties’ shareholders’ meetings, the permissions, consents, approvals or effective registration from/with the competent authorities having been obtained or other matters. The Company proposes to confirm the share swap record date by its board of directors or other authorized person by the board of directors within 7 business days after obtaining the permissions, consents, approvals or effective registration from the competent authorities. If all the condition precedents in the Share Swap Agreement have been satisfied or waived, the Share Swap should be completed on the share swap record date.

(5)If the Share Swap is adopted by resolution at the Company’s shareholders’ meeting, the Company plans to apply for delisting the Company’s securities from the Taiwan Stock Exchange (the “Delisting Application”) in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and delist

the said securities on the share swap record date of the Share Swap.

(6)If the shareholders of the Company dissents to the Share Swap and requests the Company to buy back the shares, the Company will buy back the shares held by such shareholders in accordance with laws and regulations. Such buyback shares shall be sold or eliminated in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
(7)For other important contents of the Share Swap Agreement, please refer to the Share Swap Agreement on pages 10-51 of the Handbook.
Pursuant to Article 6 of the Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act and Articles 2 and 6 of the Regulations Governing the Establishment and Related Matters of Special Committees of Public Companies for Merger/Consolidation and Acquisition, the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) shall exercise the powers of the special committee. The Committee has engaged CPA Shu-Chen Chang of BDO Taiwan as an independent expert to issue an opinion on the fairness of the Transaction Consideration. Please refer to pages 52-65 of the Handbook for the opinion on the fairness of the Transaction Consideration issued by the independent expert.
It is proposed be submitted to the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting for approval and to authorize the Company’s chairman and/or the chairman’s designated persons to handle all matters related to the Share Swap, including but not limited to preparing, negotiating, executing, amending or delivering all relevant documents and contracts (including but not limited to the amendments to the Share Swap Agreement), filing an application to or reporting to the competent authority in

accordance with the laws (including but not limited to the Delisting Application), handling matters not covered by the Share Swap Agreement, and implementing or adjusting subsequent matters of the Share Swap or matters related to the closing. It will also be proposed to the shareholders’ meeting to authorize the board of directors to handle matters relating to the adjustments of Transaction Consideration according to the Share Swap Agreement without convening another shareholders’ meeting for approval.

This proposal was approved for submission at the 2[nd] Extraordinary Meeting of the 2[nd] Term of Audit Committee and the 4[th] Extraordinary Meeting of the 10[th] Term of the Board of Directors. The Share Swap Agreement was signed on October 14, 2021. Your approval will be appreciated.

To: 1[st] Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of EnTie Commercial Bank in 2021

Audit Committee’s Review Report on the Company’s Share Swap with IBF Financial Holdings Co., Ltd.

Pursuant to Article 6 of the Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act and Articles 2 and 6 of the Regulations Governing the Establishment and Related Matters of Special Committees of Public Companies for Merger/Consolidation and Acquisition, the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) shall exercise the powers of the special committee.
In accordance with the said regulations, the Committee has engaged CPA Shu-Chen Chang of BDO Taiwan as an independent expert to issue an opinion on the fairness of the transaction consideration. The independent expert used the comparable companies method in the market approach and the market price method and other valuation techniques to obtain the value range. Eventually, the independent expert used the market price method of the Level 1 valuation technique input to determine the reasonable range of the Company’s equity value per share on the valuation base date (i.e., October 14, 2021) which ranged from NT$17.04 to NT$18.67. In addition, the independent expert used the valuation technique of matrix pricing in the market approach and eventually concluded that the theoretical value of each share of the preferred shares issued by IBF Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. (“IBF”) ranges from NT$16.20 to NT$16.59. Moreover, it is deemed appropriate to have the issue price per share lower than the theoretical value. Given the Company’s current operation status and going-concern assumption, the independent expert, based on the foregoing results of the Transaction Consideration, thinks that if the Company adopts the share swap price (IBF pays 55% in cash and 45% in preferred share issued by IBF) within the said equity value range to carry out the Share Swap or the Company determines the Transaction Consideration based on the best interest of its shareholders, it is reasonable in terms of shareholders’ interests protection. In consideration of the Company’s market price, operating conditions, future development and other relevant factors, the transaction consideration is within the reasonable equity value range prescribed in the fairness opinion on the share swap price. The Company’s Share Swap Agreement negotiation with IBF has taken into account factors including the Company and IBF’s financials, businesses, overall operations and other relevant factors. Therefore, the terms of the proposed Share Swap shall be fair and reasonable. All of the attending Committee members unanimously agreed to pass the Share Swap and submit the review result to the Company’s board of directors and the shareholders’ meeting.

IBF Financial Holdings has sole discretion on the distribution of dividends of Class A Preferred Shares. If no earnings are posted in the final accounts or earnings posted are insufficient to distribute of dividends of Class A Preferred Shares, or if dividend distribution of Class A Preferred Shares will cause the capital adequacy ratio of IBF Financial Holdings to fall below the minimum requirement stipulated by the law or the competent authorities, IBF Financial Holdings may resolve not to distribute dividends of Class A Preferred Shares without constituting an event of default. The preference share shareholders may not dissent.

Regarding the definitions of completeness, correctness and reasonableness, they are in accordance with Article 19, 21 and 23 of valuation standard No.8 and No.298 explanatory letter issued by Accounting Research and Development Foundation. However, according to the scope of this engagement, BDO Taiwan did not perform audits in accordance with generally accepted audit standards on the above-mentioned data and did not expressed any opinion and provide any assurance.

5. Opinion on the fairness of swap price

The valuation date is October 14, 2021 tentatively. BDO Taiwan performed the necessary analysis and calculation in consideration of financial information about equity value and preferred share value to evaluate the range of swap price. The summary of fairness opinion is as follows.

5.1. Valuation Approach –

The commonly-used valuation approaches in practice include the following methods.

5.1.1. Market Approach -

Market approach is based on the comparable targets’ transaction price, considers the differences between the valuation target and comparable targets and uses appropriate value multiples to estimate the value of valuation target. The typical types of market approach are as follows.

a) Comparable companies method - referring to the companies with similar or the same business whose shares are frequently traded in open market. The transaction price, value multiples and relevant transaction information can determine the value of target. This method is suitable for valuation of enterprise or business.
b) Comparable transactions method - referring to the transaction prices of similar or same assets. The value multiples and relevant transaction information can determine the value of target. This method is suitable for valuation of enterprise, business, individual asset or individual liability.

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

5.1.2. Income Approach -

Income approach is based on the future income stream generated by the valuation target and turns the future income stream into the value of valuation target via capitalization or discount. When this approach is selected, the income stream should be defined and the corresponding discount rate or capitalization rate should also be used in consideration of whether the risk of valuation target is reasonably reflected.

5.1.3. Asset Approach -

This is a method of determining the value of enterprise or business by evaluating the total value of assets net of liabilities. Unless asset approach is appropriate due to specialties of valuation target, this approach cannot be the only method adopted for valuation. However, if the target is not assumed to be continuously going-concern or used, the asset approach is usually selected for the valuation of such target, i.e. the liquidation value. Balance sheet is the main base of this approach in consideration of off-balance-sheet assets and liabilities.

When the asset approach is adopted, the individual asset or asset group, individual liability or liability group or combination of both should be seen as separate valuation objects and be evaluated by proper approaches, including market approach and income approach, depending on the specific natures.

5.1.4. Market Price Method

The average transaction price of the valuation object traded in the open securities market is used for the basis of evaluating the valuation object.

5.2. Explanation about the issuance of the analysis on the equity value and preferred share value

BDO Taiwan understood and considered EnTie Bank’s current operation, status of assets and liabilities and the industry characters. After considering the specialties of equity value and preferred share value, limits on valuation approaches and appropriateness for the transaction, BDO Taiwan selected the following approaches with explanations.

5.2.1 Fairness evaluation on the equity value of EnTie Bank’s total common share

- a) Market Approach Comparable Companies Method

In order to reasonably estimate the equity value, the management of EnTie Bank provided to BDO Taiwan the list of 6 comparable listed companies in Taiwan with the same or similar business to EnTie Bank, including King's Town Bank (2809.TW), Taichung Commercial Bank Co., Ltd. (2812.TW), Union Bank of Taiwan (2838.TW), Far Eastern International Bank (2845.TW), EnTie Commercial Bank (2849.TW) and O-Bank Co., Ltd. (2897.TW). BDO Taiwan also inspected the revenues from related businesses in these companies and considered the industry characteristics. The financial information of these comparable companies is summarized in Table 1.

BDO Taiwan adopted the market multiples and considered EnTie Bank’s current operation to calculate the equity value as of valuation date and generated the price range via the medians of the price to net income (“P/NI”) and the price to book value (“P/B”). Considering the impact of control over EnTie Bank on the equity value, BDO Taiwan used 9.80%, the median of control premium summarized from the industry in Taiwan for the last decade according to Business Valuation Resource ( “ BVR ” ) database as of valuation date, to reflect the effect. The results and adjustments can be found in Table 2 below.

c) Reasonable Value Range Per Share of EnTie Bank’s Common Shares

BDO Taiwan considered EnTie Bank’s operation status and adopted the abovementioned methodologies to reach a price range. The market price method using Level I valuation technical inputs was selected ultimately. The price of equity value per share ranged from NTD 17.04 to NTD 18.67.

5.2.2 Evaluation on the value of preferred shares to be issued by IBF Financial Holdings

In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards No. 13, Fair Value Measurement, (“IFRS 13”) when measuring the fair value of financial instruments, the valuation techniques shall be applied. The three methodologies, market approach, cost approach and income approach[2] , are widely applied. In addition, Statements of Valuation Standards No. 12, Financial Instruments Valuation, (“SVS 12”) also stipulated that the above-mentioned three approaches are commonly used for financial instruments valuation[3] .

IFRS 13 and SVS 12 also explain that the valuation technical inputs for measuring financial instruments can be divided into three categories.

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).

- Market Approach Matrix Pricing

The methodology adopted here is consistent with market approach, including matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique mainly used for the valuation of certain

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

types of financial instruments, such as debt securities, without reliance on the quotation of a specific security but on the relation between the security to be valued and the indicative one with quotation[2] . Hence, the said methodology is suitable for the valuation of the preferred shares in this transaction provided that the price of preferred shares to be issued by IBF Financial Holdings is dependent on IBF Financial Holdings’ stock price and relevant issuing conditions.

Moreover, given the going-concern consideration, BDO Taiwan considered the possible scenarios of future operation and evaluated the corresponding possibilities to derive the preferred share value. The relevant conditions and valuation methodology are summarized below.

1. Contract terms

Par interest rate: 3.85%

Issuing period: Perpetuity Issuing price: 101% of the highest of IBF Financial Holdings’ share price 1 day, 3 days or 5 days prior to the valuation date

Redemption price: 100% of par value upon seven years after issuance Swap condition: upon one year after issuance Swap ratio: 1:1

Source: Contract terms are provided by EnTie Bank’s management and summarized by BDO Taiwan.

2. Introduction of Valuation Methodology

Step 1

Provided that the change in stock price of the acquiring company follows Brownian motion for 100 years

==> picture [103 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

among which

γ : interest rate

σ: volatility
T : term (the duration of 7 years in this transaction)

WT : Brownian motion 。

==> picture [78 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Step 2

Following Step 1 to simulate the stock prices for 100 years via Monte Carlo Method 。

Step 3 `：`

Using the least square Monte Carlo simulation and discounting the numbers from the 100[th] year to the valuation date, Backward Method. Between the 7[th] year and the 100[th] year, due to the redemption and the conversion, the preferred share value is Max (conversion value, redemption value). Between the 2[nd] year and the end of the 6[th] year, due to the conversion, the preferred share value is Max (conversion value, continuous holding value). By following the steps to backward estimate the value as of valuation date of each route, discount it by the risk discount rate (adjusted Capital Asset Pricing Model, “adjusted CAPM”) to the valuation date and get the average after adding up all these outputs, the preferred share expected value can be generated.

Considering IBF Financial Holdings’ operation, BDO Taiwan adopted the above-mentioned valuation technique and concluded the range for theoretical value per share of preferred shares to be issued by IBF Financial Holdings from NTD 16.20 to NTD 16.59. Hence, the lower issuance price of preferred shares to be issued by IBF Financial Holdings than the theoretical 。 value of preferred shares is fair.

6. Illustration about Hypotheses

The Project was to be executed under the assumptions that from the valuation date to the report date external environment, like macro-economy condition, political and investment environments, and internal conditions, such as operation of EnTie Bank and IBF Financial Holdings, did not change significantly. In addition, equity value might vary significantly for different purposes, under different assumptions or as of different valuation date. Plus, the uncertainty of global economic development was further enhanced due to the pandemic of COVID-19 from late January of 2020. BDO Taiwan does not guarantee that the opinion is still valid if any of above-mentioned situations occurs.

7. Conclusion

The Project is performed in accordance with valuation standards. The standard of value is market value. BDO Taiwan obtained relevant financial information about the Project and, for the valuation approaches, basic assumptions, valuation estimates and other key factors regarding EnTie Bank’s common share equity value and the value of preferred shares to be exchanged, performed necessary analysis and calculation to evaluate the potential risks which may impact the equity value

Considering the operation status of EnTie Bank, BDO Taiwan adopted the abovementioned valuation techniques to generate the price range of equity value as of valuation date, NTD 17.04 to NTD 18.67.

Given EnTie Bank’s current operation status and going-concern assumption, BDO Taiwan, based on the above-stated results of transaction consideration, thinks that if EnTie Bank adopts the swap price (IBF Financial Holdings pays 55% in cash and 45% in preferred share issued by IBF Financial Holdings) within this range to carry out the potential transaction or EnTie Bank determines the transaction price based on the conservation principle in order for the best interest of shareholders, it’s reasonable in terms of shareholders’ interests protection.

8. Limits

8.1 The opinion pertained to the foregoing items only and was not further connected to the whole financial report of common share equity value and preferred share value.
8.2 BDO Taiwan, as an independent third party, evaluated whether the transaction price was proper without involving in the design and plan of transaction structure. The valuation date of fairness opinion was October 14, 2021. Therefore, this opinion did not consider any changes occurring after that. If the actual transaction differs from the previous explanation, the conclusion will vary accordingly. If the actual situation changes after the issuance of opinion, BDO Taiwan will not update the opinion unless BDO Taiwan is reengaged.
