Attachment I

2020 Business Report

Looking back in 2020, COVID-19 pandemic spread globally, causing slump of global economy, and disruption of trade and supply chains. However, in Taiwan, due to proper containment of COVID-19 pandemic, prosperous recovery in domestic consumption market, and 10 consecutive months of growth in export orders, GDP grew by 3.11% in 2020, the highest among 4 Asia Tigers. Looking forward to 2021, COVID-19 vaccines will help alleviate the pandemic, and the global economy is expected to recover gradually, which would be good for Taiwan's trade expansion and growth in various industries. In the post-pandemic era, the low interest rate environment will continue eroding profitability of Taiwan’s financial industry. Only by accelerating digital finance development, controlling risk management, and strengthening ESG governance will banks be able to achieve goals of business sustainability.

In 2020, global economy went into recession due to pandemic. FEIB nonetheless strived for long-term steady growth, that total asset was NT$680 billion by end of 2020, or 4% growth, and core revenue of net interest income and net fee income also grew by 4%. But, due to increased provision of overseas bad debts, and earning volatility from financial investment, FEIB’s net income was NT$2.519 billion in 2020, earnings per share (EPS) was NT$0.73, or declined by 31%.

FEIB continued core business growth during the pandemic. Digital Banking BU picked up speedy growth, with off-counter rate and digital customer acquisition rate at all-time high at 94% and 41% respectively. Via pioneering “Open Banking” application, the digital sub-brand “Bankee” expanded customer base and deposit balance, and gained numerous award-winning recognition. Retail Banking BU won three wealth management awards from “Wealth Magazine”, was recognized by Financial Management Awards by HK-based “The Asset Magazine” for three consecutive years, grew personal loan, and led niche products of strategicalliance car loans and installment loans as business focus. Corporate Banking BU strengthened risk control, market diversification for asset quality improvement. Amid market volatility, Financial Markets BU structured investment or hedging product for customers, and engaged in investment and trading activity selectively.

FEIB fully engaged in environment, society and corporate governance (ESG) disciplines for business sustainability, which was affirmed by professional ESG evaluation agencies. The actual doing of environmental protection included “The Best Green Lending of the Year in Taiwan” rewarded by " Asian Banking & Finance ", “Green Procurement Benchmark Unit” by Taipei City government, and international certification of “Energy Management” system and “Greenhouse Gas” inventory by BSI. The social welfare activities included donation to the Eden Foundation for 23 consecutive years, corporate and personal relief loans, and preferential – rate deposits for medical staffs. FEIB won TCSA Taiwan Enterprise Sustainability Award,

15

Handbook for 2021 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

==> picture [115 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

the BSI Outstanding Sustainability Award, the TTQS Gold Medal by the Ministry of Labor, and was included as one of the constituent stocks for the Taiwan Sustainability Index, Corporate Governance 100 Index, High Salary 100 Index and Employment 99 Indexes, which all demonstrated FEIB’s actions in achieving sustainable corporate governance.

Looking forward to 2021, FEIB will base on long-term stability growth, continue expanding operation scale, accelerating digital innovation, and stabilizing profitability. Key strategies are to grow the four core businesses with balance, break through total asset size to NT$700 billion, enhance trading income and WM fee income, strengthen risk control, and reduce bad debt losses. The rep. office of Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City will be opened for entering the local ASEAN market. Far East YA Card is launched to increase credit card portfolio. To compete with internet-only banks, digital customer base is to be penetrated by promoting digital accounts via connecting with Group’s ecosystem and big data analytical tool. There are opportunities and challenge in post-epidemic era, so FEIB will exercise sustainability as well as innovation to create value for shareholders, customers, employees and society.
