2020 Business Report

Dear Ladies & Gentlemen:

In 2020, among the Company’s primary products, the round bars got rid of the impact posed by the Sino-US Trade War and COVID-19 in the second half of 2020. The effect posed by rush orders boosted the mild growth of annual sales of round bars. The rebar market kept benefiting from the

government’s public work boosting policy and Taiwanese businessman’s return to and plant construction projects in Taiwan. The increase in the entire domestic demand for rebar, plus the positive results achieved by the new rebar factories operated by the Company since 2018, drove the growth of the Company’s sale volume for rebar by about 20% in 2020. The Company’s sale volume for primary products in 2020 included the semi-finished goods, 1.636 million tons, an increase from that in 2019 by 9.23%. The operating revenue amounted to NT$27.3 billion, decreasing by 1.58% from that in 2019. The operating profit amounted to NT$3.1 billion, increasing by 47.96% from 2019.

Among the other things, the new products under development primarily included the new steel types and products for new purposes, e.g. Low-carbon and medium-carbon cold forging materials, carbon steel and low-alloy steel for mechanical structure, medium-carbon vulcanized steel, and spring steel for vehicles, etc.. Meanwhile, the Company also engaged in the R&D of products in new shapes and sizes. The Company’s primary R&D results in 2020 are stated as follows: To develop blades of cultivator/car blade dampers and coil springs SUP9, medium-carbon vulcanized steel 1144 for cold drawn bright bars, hexagon socket bolts SCM435H, HEX flange bolts 10B33, bridge bolts 25CUNICRV, steering tie rods 30mnvs6, linear sliders SCM420H & deformed steel for sliders S55C and high-tensile steel SD690, upon customers’ request.

Given the general economic distress, Feng Hsin Steel’s technology and R&D focused on electric furnace steelmaking, few and diversified as its characteristics, in order to mitigate the impact posed by the environment to the Company’s orders. The Company has passed the certification by IATF 16949:2016 Quality Management System of SGS Taiwan Limited in March 2020.

II. Business Plan 2021

1. External competition, legal environment, and business policy:

Given the critical challenge caused by the Sino-U.S. Trade War and increasing trade protectionism adopted in various countries with respect to the steel trading in the previous year (2019), in addition to the severe impact posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, various countries have successively adopted the lockdown policy in response to the situation. As a result, the demand for steel materials declined drastically in the world in the first half of the year. The normal economic activities recovered gradually only after the lockdown was lifted step by step as the epidemic slowed down gradually in the second of the year. The Company’s business policy 2021 will continue to adopt the goal in 2020, namely “continue to remodel equipment and improve technology to upgrade the production efficiency and product quality, conserve energy in production, practice the circular economy of green environment, and fulfill the corporate social responsibility,” in order to create the maximum interest for the Company and shareholders at the same time.

2. Sales volume forecast and supporting basis

Despite the COVID-19 epidemic and Protectionism, competition in the global steel industry remains fierce in 2021. All people expect that the lockdown policy would be lifted step by step in various countries so that the world may be back to the normal situation and the demand could recover. According to the forecast announced by the World Steel Association in October 2020, the demand for steel materials would grow by 4.1% in the world in 2021 from 2020. Upon completion of the remodeling of steel bar & wire mills, the Company continued to develop toward the market for high-rank steel types and purposes. Further, upon the official mass production of steel rebars mills, due to the government’s prospective infrastructure construction and public work boosting policies, Taiwanese businessman’s return to and plant construction projects in Taiwan and leading electronics manufacturers’ increasing demand for factory expansion, it is expected that the overall demand may grow stably in 2021. The sales of steel products will grow mildly in 2021 from 2020.

3. Key production and sales policies

(1) Production

  • A. Continue to develop new products per customers’ needs, expand the product portfolio and apply flexible scheduling in response to the production plan in order to satisfy customers’ needs.

  • B. Uphold the philosophy “Full Engagement, Quality First, and Customers as the First Priority” as the Company’s quality policy.

  • C. Start mass production of new steel mills, improve the quality of finished goods, conserve energy consumption by means of direct steel rolling, cut the production cost, and improve the Company’s competitiveness.

(2) Sale

  • A. Actively participate in the tender solicitations for public works and important factory construction, and use the best effort to strive for orders to increase the market share in the steel rebars market by enhancing the cooperation with processors and developing new customers.

  • B. Continue to develop the export markets for finished goods to seek maximum profit.

  • C. Maintain a long-term supply relationship with raw materials suppliers to stabilize the source of goods and product quality.

  • D. Improve the service quality and establish a long-term fair partnership with distributors and

5

customers to strive together and thrive together.

  • E. Keep remodeling, updating, and improving technologies of, steel-making and rolling equipment to improve production efficiency and improve various products’ quality; also keep researching and developing round bar products to help launch into higher rank and wider ranges.

III. Business Environment

Since the previous peak of booming in the global steel industry, the steel manufacturers in various countries have started to expand their production capacity successively. As a result, the overcapacity issue derived again. Besides, the Protectionism advocated by Trump caused the steel price to drop in the world since 2019 and even till 2020. Meanwhile, given the COVID-19 epidemic, the steel price didn’t stop dropping until Q4 of 2020 and fluctuated sharply at the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. International research organizations started to adjust the global economic forecast upward successively and thereby might benefit the steel industry’s contingency plan. Therefore, the future can be expected optimistically. Notwithstanding, the COVID-19 still remains a major variable for the global economy. The significant fluctuation in steel price would also test various steel manufacturers’ adaptability to changes, thereby increasing challenges in their business management.

IV. Future Development Strategies

In order to pursue sustainable development, the Company sets forth the following short-term and long-term development strategies, which all employees shall follow:

  1. Short-term development strategies

(1) Build a friendly working environment.

(2) Develop new steel types and products.

(3) Cut costs, improve product quality, and expand market share.

(4) Conserve energy and reduce carbon, reduce pollution emissions, improve recycling of water resources, and aim at zero waste discharge.

  • (5) Be a good neighbor and landscape the environment to improve the Company’s identity.

2. Long-term development strategies

Implement the smart production into the production process step by step, and adopt the diversification strategy to expand the Company’s core strengths and help the Company launch into the global market.

Thank you for your support and care over the years. We wish you good health and all the best!

Independent Auditors’ Report

To FENG HSIN STEEL Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FENG HSIN STEEL Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors section of our report), the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditor(s), we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation for inventories

11

As of 31 December 2020, the Group’s net inventories amounted to NT$3,301,468 thousand which represented 14% of the total consolidated assets. The amount of inventories was significant to the Group’s financial statements. The Group manufacture and sell various types of steel products. The main ingredient is iron scrap. The material and finished goods are affected by the fluctuation of international prices that may cause significant changes in inventory prices. As a result, the calculation of net realizable value was complicated, we therefore determined this a key audit mater. Our audit procedures included, but not limited to, understanding and testing the effectiveness of internal control; evaluating the adequacy of accounting policies around obsolete inventories; evaluating stocktaking plan and selecting important storage locations to observe inventory counts to ensure inventory quantities and status; obtaining inventory aging schedule to test whether inbound and outbound records are accurate; re-calculating the unit cost of inventories; evaluating and testing net realizable value adopted by management; testing selling prices; and implementing analytical procedures with respect to the gross profit ratios by products. We also assessed the adequacy of disclosures of inventories. Please refer to Note 6 to the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors

Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors. We did not audit the financial statements of certain associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method whose statements are based solely on the reports of other auditors. Investment in these associates and joint ventures under equity method amounted to NT$744,203 thousand and NT$696,101 thousand, both representing 3% of the consolidated total assets as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively. The related shares of profits from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$83,504 thousand and NT$79,764 thousand, both representing 3% of the consolidated net income before tax for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively; and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$159 thousand and NT$173 thousand, both representing 0% of the consolidated other comprehensive income for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively.

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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Group disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going

12

concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

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

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted 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 internal control of the Group.

  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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Group. 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.

13
  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. 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.

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 2020 consolidated financial statements 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.

Other

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of FENG HSIN STEEL CO., Ltd. as of and for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To FENG HSIN STEEL Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone balance sheets of FENG HSIN STEEL Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and the related standalone statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the standalone financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors section of our report), the standalone financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the standalone financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, and their standalone financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditor(s), we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 standalone financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation for inventories

As of 31 December 2020, the Company’s net inventories amounted to NT$3,301,468 thousand which represented 14% of the total standalone assets. The amount of inventories was significant to the Company’s financial statements. The Company manufacture and sell various types of steel products. The main ingredient is iron scrap. The material and finished goods are affected by the fluctuation of

21

international prices that may cause significant changes in inventory prices. As a result, the calculation of net realizable value was complicated, we therefore determined this a key audit mater. Our audit procedures included, but not limited to, understanding and testing the effectiveness of internal control; evaluating the adequacy of accounting policies around obsolete inventories; evaluating stocktaking plan and selecting important storage locations to observe inventory counts to ensure inventory quantities and status; obtaining inventory aging schedule to test whether inbound and outbound records are accurate; re-calculating the unit cost of inventories; evaluating and testing net realizable value adopted by management; testing selling prices; and implementing analytical procedures with respect to the gross profit ratios by products. We also assessed the adequacy of disclosures of inventories. Please refer to Note 6 to the Company’s standalone financial statements.

Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors

Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors. We did not audit the financial statements of certain associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method whose statements are based solely on the reports of other auditors. Investment in these associates and joint ventures under equity method amounted to NT$744,203 thousand and NT$696,101 thousand, both representing 3% of the standalone total assets as of 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively. The related shares of profits from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$83,504 thousand and NT$79,764 thousand, both representing 3% of the standalone net income before tax for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively; and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$159 thousand and NT$173 thousand, both representing 0% of the standalone other comprehensive income for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019, respectively.

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

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

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

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

22

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 auditing standards generally accepted 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 standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted 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 standalone 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 internal control of the Company.

  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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. 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 standalone 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 standalone financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the standalone 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 standalone financial

23

statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company 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.

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 2020 standalone financial statements 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.

Article 6. (Chairperson and Attendees)

If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the Chairman of Board.

The chairperson may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda referred to in the preceding two paragraphs (including extemporary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. If the chairperson declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the parliamentary rules, a new chairperson shall be elected by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.

Article 10. (Speech by Shareholders)

Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chairperson.

An attending shareholder who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the contents of the speech do not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken contents shall prevail.

Except with the consent of the chairperson, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same motion, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the agenda item's scope, the chairperson may terminate the speech.

44

represented by him/her shall not exceed 3% of those represented by the total voting shares of the Company, otherwise, the portion of excessive voting power shall not be counted.

A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Paragraph 2 of Article 179 of the Company Act.

When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders’ meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person. Notwithstanding, the shareholder shall be deemed having waived his/her rights with respect to the extemporary motions and amendments to the original motions of that meeting. Therefore, it is advisable that the Company avoid the submission of extemporary motions and amendments to original motions.

If the notice of retraction is submitted beyond said-noted time limit, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. In case a shareholder has exercised his/her/its voting power by correspondence or electronic means and has also authorized a proxy to attend the shareholders' meeting on his/her/its behalf. The voting power exercised by the authorized proxy for said shareholder shall prevail.

Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the resolution of a motion shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each motion, the chairperson or a person designated by the chairperson shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each motion, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.

When there is an amendment or an alternative to a motion, the chairperson shall present the amended or alternative motion together with the original motion and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other motions will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.

Scrutineers and personnel dedicated to counting ballots on a motion shall be appointed by the chairperson, provided that all scrutineers shall be shareholders of the Company.

The minutes of a shareholders' meeting shall record the date and place of the meeting, name of the chairperson, method of adopting resolutions, and a summary of the essential points of the proceedings and the results of the meeting (including statistical tallies of the numbers of votes). The minutes shall be kept persistently throughout the life of the Company.

Article 15. (Public Disclosure)

On the day of a shareholders’ meeting, the Company shall compile in the prescribed format a statistical statement of the number of shares obtained by solicitors through solicitation and the number of shares represented by proxies. It shall make an express disclosure of the same at the place of the shareholders’ meeting.

If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders’ meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation’s regulations, the Company shall upload the contents of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.

46

If the meeting place is no longer available before all of the motions (including extemporary motions) on the meeting agenda have been addressed, the shareholders’ meeting may adopt a resolution to resume the meeting at another place.

A resolution may be adopted at a shareholders’ meeting to defer or resume the meeting within 5 days in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act.

Article 27: Where the Company has annual profits at the end of a financial year, the Company may distribute not less than 2% of the profits for such year to employees as the employees’ compensation and may distribute not more than 2% thereof to directors as the remuneration to directors. Notwithstanding, the Company's accumulated losses, if any, shall have been covered first.
