FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. 2023 Business Report
Dear shareholders:
The global economics just improved slightly in 2023 compared to 2022. Almost all countries around the world faced the inflation and U.S. dollar appreciation, coupled with the post-pandemic slowdown of economic growth in mainland China, the demand for smartphones, tablets, and laptops in end-consumer markets remained slow. FocalTech’s employees remained cautious and conscientious even under this backdrop period. By the effective marketing strategies and launch of competitive new products, we not only solved our inventory problem but also increased our market share, and eventually turned FocalTech from loss to profit in 2023.
Research firms say that the global shipments of smartphones and tablets dropped by 3.2% and 10%, in 2023, respectively. Bucking this trend, FocalTech’s annual volume shipments increased significantly by 26% compared to the previous year, resulting in a 5% growth in revenue to NT$13.57 billion despite of fierce price competition in the market. The gross margin increased to 20% in average for the whole year, with gross profit jumped to NT$2.71 billion, more than double that of the previous year. Net profit after tax in 2023 was NT$353 million, and earnings per share was NT$1.74, showing a substantial improvement in operating results compared to the loss in 2022.
Innovation in technology and new products is the growth engine for FocalTech. In particular, as the world’s leading company in human–machine interface products for mobile devices, FocalTech has been actively focused on the consumer electronics market and aggressively expanded into other fields such as automotive electronics and industrial control markets, with the goal of diversifying our product offerings. We spent NT1.79 billion in R&D cost in 2023. We have developed and launched bunch of new products and resulted in 42 new patents filed and 54 patent certificates obtained. Furthermore, FocalTech was honored as the “2023 Most Influential IC Enterprise Design Award in the Hardcore China Chip Campaign” by the media in mainland China.
We insist on realizing the value of innovation and R&D through pragmatic means. FocalTech has long been committed to develop display, touch, and fingerprint technologies and products. Harnessing our outstanding design capabilities, FocalTech developed high valueadded and innovative products while keeping abreast of market trends to create steady upward momentum in our operations. For display driver products, we optimized product costs through design innovation in order to minimize the negative impact of price declines on gross margin. As the specifications of commercial flat panels and other industrial panels advanced, the requirements for higher refresh rate and higher resolution increased accordingly, and FocalTech developed corresponding solutions to meet these needs. In the automotive electronics field, FocalTech became a pioneer for LCD IDC (TDDI) products—after years of effort to introduce these products into a wide range of conventional and battery powered vehicles, we’ve shipped more than 18 million units in total to-date. Recently, we’ve successfully launched next-
7
generation products that surpass their predecessors in terms of performance and cost competitiveness; these products are expected to be the major drivers of the company’s future growth.
FocalTech has always maintained a leading position in touch products. Due to increasing number of AMOLED panels used in mobile devices, shipments of our AMOLED touch products have risen significantly. Additionally, FocalTech is actively introducing new products to medium and large-sized AMOLED products in areas requiring high value-added applications, such as high-end battery powered vehicles, industrial control products, laptops, and tablets. We aim to capitalize on this business opportunity that AMOLED panel applications continue to diversify into new areas. In the future, FocalTech will continue to launch cost-effective products in existing and new markets, and to increase our market share to keep our leading position in the touch panel industry.
In pursuit of high operation performance, FocalTech also adheres to the business principle of corporate sustainability. By balancing the development of business operations and ESG goals, FocalTech emphasizes communication with stakeholders, and enhances information transparency. FocalTech has maintained an outstanding ranking among the top 6% to 20% of companies in the Corporate Governance Evaluation System for multiple years. With the carbon reduction trend sweeping the world, we implement proactive approaches to reduce carbon emissions and plan to introduce the ISO 14064-1 GHG emissions inventory in 2024 as we strive toward the goal of global net-zero emissions. Moreover, we actively participate in social welfare activities by caring for underprivileged groups with the concept of giving back to the community. Through participation in public affairs, we exert a positive influence on the community and fulfil our social responsibility as a corporate citizen.
Looking ahead to 2024, as the industrial inventory gradually reduces to a healthy level, the market demand for products such as smartphones, tablets, and personal computers is expected to rebound. Having accumulated strong capabilities in these areas, we believe that FocalTech’s shipment in volume and revenue will increase even further through product diversification and deployment in markets outside China. Fueled by the soaring sales of higherend products, our gross margin is expected to increase in the long run. More importantly, FocalTech will continue to stick to our company’s core value that “innovation” is the key to keep the leading position as the human–machine interface solution provider. This philosophy will help us secure our dominant position in the industry and enable us to return value to our shareholders to thank all our shareholders for their longstanding support and love.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31,2023.

Recognition for Sales Revenue
The sales revenue of Integrated Driver Controller is the main indicator of financial and business performance evaluated by investors and the management. It possibly exists the pressure to achieve the financial target, and it might result in the risk of the occurrence of sales revenue. Therefore, the sales revenue of Integrated Driver Controller is considered as a key audit matter for the financial year ended December 31, 2023.
Refer to Notes 4 and 22 for the accounting policy, accounting estimation and disclosure information. Our audit procedures related to the abovementioned Key Audit Matters included the following:
-
We evaluated the design of internal control related to sales and collection cycle and the implement of the internal control.

We obtained customer ranking list in 2023, and analyze the differences of customers and its sales amount.
10
-
We analyzed if the sales quantities, sales revenue and gross margin by products existed material exception.
-
We sampled purchase orders, shipping documents bills of lading, and collection records in revenue breakdown to ensure the occurrence of sales revenue.
Valuation of Inventory
Due to high market demand fluctuation and rapid technological development, the inventories may turn obsolete or have a lower net realizable value which may result in inventories being impaired. The Company has performed impairment assessment on inventories through evaluation of aging and net realizable value of inventories quarterly. The management has practiced their professional judgement in estimating the possible loss on impairment based on the sales performance of each product. Therefore, inventory valuation is considered as a key audit matter for the financial year ended December 31, 2023.
Refer to Notes 4 and 10 for the accounting policy, accounting estimation and disclosure information. Our audit procedures related to the abovementioned Key Audit Matters included the following:
-
We obtained an understanding of the Company’s accounting policies and procedures on the assessment of impairment through analyzing the net realizable value calculation report and inventory aging report prepared by the management. We have inspected the supporting documents of recent selling price, and re-calculated the net realizable value of inventory to ensure its accuracy and reasonableness of the management's estimation on impairment loss.
-
We obtained an understanding of the Company’s judgement on the estimation of impairment loss for obsolete items information and discussed recent sales performance and the reasonableness on the estimates of inventory devaluation in the future. We also performed inspection on recent sales to evaluate the reasonableness of the impairment loss provided on obsolete stock.
Responsibilities of Corporate Management and Governance Hierarchy For the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management level 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 members of the Audit Committee) is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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
11
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the 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.
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 financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yu-Hong Kuo and Chih-Ming Shao.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT To the Board of Directors and Shareholders FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the 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 the Standards on Auditing of 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, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,2023. 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.
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:
Recognition for Sales Revenue
The sales revenue of Integrated Driver Controller is the main indicator of financial and business performance evaluated by investors and the management. It possibly exists the pressure to achieve the financial target, and it might result in the risk of the occurrence of sales revenue. Therefore, the sales revenue of Integrated Driver Controller is considered as a key audit matter for the financial year ended December 31, 2023.
Refer to Notes 4 and 23 for the accounting policy, accounting estimation and disclosure information. Our audit procedures related to the abovementioned Key Audit Matters included the following:
-
We evaluated the design of internal control related to sales and collection cycle and the implement of the internal control.
-
We obtained customer ranking list in 2023, and analyze the differences of customers and its sales amount.
-
We analyzed if the sales quantities, sales revenue and gross margin by products existed material exception.
-
We sampled purchase orders, shipping documents bills of lading, and collection records in revenue breakdown to ensure the occurrence of sales revenue.
19
Valuation of Inventory
Due to high market demand fluctuation and rapid technological development, the inventories may turn obsolete or have a lower net realizable value which may result in inventories being impaired. The Group has performed impairment assessment on inventories through evaluation of aging and net realizable value of inventories quarterly. The management has practiced their professional judgement in estimating the possible loss on impairment based on the sales performance of each product. Therefore, inventory valuation is considered as a key audit matter for the financial year ended December 31, 2023.
Refer to Notes 4 and 11 for the accounting policy, accounting estimation and disclosure information.
Our audit procedures related to the abovementioned Key Audit Matters included the following:
-
We obtained an understanding of the Group’s accounting policies and procedures on the assessment of impairment through analyzing the net realizable value calculation report and inventory aging report prepared by the management. We have inspected the supporting documents of recent selling price, and re-calculated the net realizable value of inventory to ensure its accuracy and reasonableness of the management's estimation on impairment loss.
-
We obtained an understanding of the Group’s judgement on the estimation of impairment loss for obsolete items information and discussed recent sales performance and the reasonableness on the estimates of inventory devaluation in the future. We also performed inspection on recent sales to evaluate the reasonableness of the impairment loss provided on obsolete stock.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Corporate Management and Governance Hierarchy 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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the 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 level 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 members of the Audit Committee) is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
20
We also:
-
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.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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 the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yu-Hong Kuo and Chih-Ming Shao.

-
Article 2 The Company’s procedural rules for shareholders’ meetings shall, except as otherwise provided by law, regulations, or the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, be as provided in these Rules.
-
Article 3 (Convening shareholders’ meetings and notices regarding shareholders’ meetings)
-
Except where otherwise provided by law or regulations, the Company’s shareholders’ meetings shall be convened by the Board of Directors. Changes in the manner of convening a shareholders’ meeting must be made via resolutions of the Board of Directors, and shall be made no later than mailing of the shareholders’ meeting notice.
-
The Company shall prepare electronic versions of the notice of shareholders’ meeting; proxy forms; and reasons for and explanatory materials relating to all proposals, including proposals for ratification, matters for deliberation, and the election/dismissal of directors, and shall upload said materials to the Market Observation Post System (MOPS) at least 30 days before the date of a regular shareholders’ meeting and at least 15 days before the date of a special shareholders’ meeting. The Company shall also prepare electronic versions of the shareholders’ meeting agenda book and the supplemental meeting materials and upload them to the MOPS at least 21 days before the date of a regular shareholders’ meeting and at least 15 days before the date of a special shareholders’ meeting. However, in the case of a TWSE or TPEx listed company with paid-in capital reaching NT$10 billion or more as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year, or in which the aggregate shareholding percentage of foreign investors and Mainland Chinese investors reached 30% or more as recorded in the shareholders' register at the time of holding of the regular shareholders’ meeting in the most recent
30
fiscal year, it shall upload the aforesaid electronic file by 30 days prior to the day on which the regular shareholders' meeting is to be held. In addition, at least 15 days before the date of the shareholders’ meeting, the Company shall also have prepared the shareholders’ meeting agenda and supplemental meeting materials and made them available for review by shareholders at any time. The meeting agenda book and supplemental materials shall also be displayed at the Company and the professional shareholder services agent designated thereby.
The Company shall make the meeting agenda book and supplemental meeting materials in the preceding paragraph available to shareholders for review in the following manner on the date of the shareholders’ meeting:
-
For in-person shareholders’ meetings, these materials shall be distributed on-site at the meeting.
-
For hybrid shareholders’ meetings, these materials shall be distributed on-site at the meeting and electronic files shall be shared on the virtual meeting platform.
-

None of the above matters may be raised as an extemporary motion.
Where both re-election of all directors and their inauguration dates are stated in the notice of the reasons for convening the shareholders’ meeting,
31
after the completion of the re-election in said meeting, such inauguration dates may not be altered by any extemporary motion or otherwise in the same meeting.
A shareholder holding one percent or more of the total number of issued shares may submit a proposal to the Company for discussion at a regular shareholders’ meeting. The number of matters proposed is limited to one only, and no proposal containing more than one matter shall be included in the meeting agenda. When the circumstances of any Subparagraph of Article 172-1, Paragraph 4 of the Company Act apply to a proposal put forward by a shareholder, the Board of Directors may exclude it from the agenda. A shareholder may propose a recommendation for urging the Company to promote public interests or fulfill its social responsibilities, provided that procedurally the number of matters proposed is limited to one only in accordance with Article 172-1 of the Company Act, and no proposal containing more than one matter shall be included in the meeting agenda.
Prior to the book closure date before a regular shareholders’ meeting is held, the Company shall publicly announce its acceptance of shareholder proposals in writing or electronically, and the location and time period for their submission; the period for submission of shareholder proposals shall not be less than 10 days.

-
How shareholders shall attend the virtual meeting and exercise their rights.
-
Actions to be taken if the virtual meeting platform or participation in the virtual meeting is obstructed due to natural disasters, accidents, or other force majeure events. This shall cover, at a minimum, the following particulars:

34
and cannot be resolved, and the date to which the meeting shall be postponed or on which the meeting will resume.
- (2) Shareholders who have not registered to attend an affected virtual shareholders’ meeting shall not attend the postponed or resumed session.
- (3) In the event of a hybrid shareholders’ meeting, when the virtual meeting cannot be continued, if, after deducting those represented by shareholders attending the virtual shareholders’ meeting online, the total number of shares represented at the meeting meets the minimum legal requirement for a shareholders’ meeting, then the shareholders’ meeting shall continue. The shares represented by shareholders attending the virtual meeting online shall be counted towards the total number of shares represented by shareholders present at the meeting, and the shareholders attending the virtual meeting online shall be deemed to have abstained from voting on all proposals on that shareholders’ meeting meeting agenda.
- (4) Measures to be taken if the outcome of all proposals have been announced but extemporary motions have not yet been proceeded with.
-
When the Company convenes a virtual-only shareholders' meeting, it furthermore shall specify appropriate alternative measures available to shareholders who have difficulty taking part in a virtual shareholders' meeting.
-
Article 7 (The chair and non-voting participants of a shareholders’ meeting) If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the chairperson of the Board. When the chairperson of the Board is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the chairperson, the chairperson shall appoint one of the directors to act as chair. Where the chairperson does not make such a designation, the directors shall select from among themselves one person to serve as chair.
-
If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the Board of Directors, the convening party shall chair the meeting. When there are two or more such convening parties, they shall mutually select a chair from among themselves.
35
The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, and related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders’ meeting in a nonvoting capacity, and to answer related questions during the proceedings.
-
Article 8 (Documentation of a shareholders’ meeting via audio or video) The Company shall make an uninterrupted audio and video recording of the shareholders’ meeting, from the beginning to end, and shall retain the recording for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
-
For a virtual shareholders’ meeting, the Company shall keep records of shareholder registration, sign-in, check-in, questions raised, votes cast, and results of votes counted by the Company, and shall make continuous and uninterrupted audio and video records of the proceedings of the virtual meeting, from beginning to end.
-
The information and audio and video recordings in the preceding paragraph shall be properly kept by the Company during the entirety of its existence, and the Company shall provide copies of the audio and video recordings to the party appointed to handle matters of the virtual meeting for retention.
-
Article 9 Attendance at shareholders’ meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated in accordance with the shares indicated by the attendance book and sign-in cards handed in, and the shares checked in on the virtual meeting platform, plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised via correspondence or electronically.
-
The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time and disclose information concerning the number of non-voting shares and number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement; there shall be no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned. In the event of a virtual shareholders’ meeting, the
36
Company shall also declare the meeting adjourned on the virtual meeting platform.
If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding paragraph, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted in accordance with Article 175, Paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders’ meeting shall be convened within one month. In the event of a virtual shareholders’ meeting, shareholders wishing to attend the meeting online shall re-register to the Company in accordance with Article 6.
When, prior to the conclusion of a meeting, the attending shareholders reach a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders’ meeting in accordance with Article 174 of the Company Act.
-
Article 10 (Proposal Discussion)
-
If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the Board of Directors. Votes shall be cast on each separate proposal in the agenda (including extemporary motions and amendments to the original proposals set out in the agenda). The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting.
-
The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply, mutatis mutandis, to a shareholders’ meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the Board of Directors.
-
The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extemporary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, the other members of the Board of Directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
When the chair is of the opinion that a proposal, its amendments, or extemporary motions put forward by the shareholders have been
37
discussed sufficiently to put such to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting.
Article 11 (Shareholder speeches)
Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker’s slip the subject of the speech, his/her/its shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak shall be set by the chair.
A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker’s slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed not to have spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker’s slip, the spoken content shall prevail.
Shareholders are allowed to speak or raise a question regarding the matters on the agenda only after all the matters on the agenda have been read out or reported by the chair or his/her/its appointee. A shareholder may not speak more than twice, and a single speech may not exceed five minutes. However, with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may extend the speech for five minutes; such an extension may be granted only once. The time and number of speeches made by shareholders in response to each of the motions for recognition and discussion of the matters listed on the agenda and to each of the proposals put forward in the extemporary motion procedure shall be subject to the rules specified in the preceding paragraph.
The time and number of questions raised and speeches made by shareholders regarding motions that are not listed as matters on the agenda during the proceedings of extemporary motions shall be subject to the rules specified in paragraph 1.
If a shareholder’s speech violates the rules stipulated in the preceding paragraph or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violations.
When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders’ meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal.
38
After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
Where a virtual shareholders’ meeting is convened, shareholders attending the virtual meeting online may raise questions in writing at the virtual meeting platform, from the time the chair declares the meeting open until the chair declares the meeting adjourned. No more than two questions for the same proposal may be raised. Each question shall contain no more than 200 words. The regulations in paragraphs 1 to 8 do not apply.
-
Article 12 (Calculation of voting shares and recusal system)
-
Voting at a shareholders’ meeting shall be calculated based on the number of shares.
-
With respect to resolutions of shareholders’ meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.
-
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the Company’s interests, that shareholder shall not vote on that item, nor shall they exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder. The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
-
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy shall not exceed three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares.
