2025 Business Report

Business Report

The consolidated revenue of First Steamship Co., Ltd. in 2025 amounted to NT$1,489,351 thousand, representing a decrease of 7.78% from NT$1,615,077 thousand in 2024. The consolidated net loss after tax amounted to NT$1,849,408 thousand, and net loss attributable to owners of the parent amounted to NT$1,343,910 thousand. The basic loss per share was NT$1.63, diluted loss per share was NT$1.63, and book value per share was NT$8.93.

I. 2025 Business Overview

In 2025, the dry bulk shipping market was characterized by moderating demand growth, structural divergence in fleet capacity, and an upward shift in freight rate benchmarks. Despite a modest 0.5% growth in global trade demand, the market benefited from a surge in India's iron ore imports, active bauxite trade, and rerouting around the Red Sea. These factors supported upward volatility in Capesize freight rates, with a notable increase in the average BDI. Overall, the market exhibited a structural balance of high freight rates with low growth. Environmental regulations (FuelEU) accelerated the phase-out of older vessels. While supply-side pressure was temporarily alleviated by rerouting in the short term, the market still faces the pressure of new vessel deliveries in the medium to long term.

In the first quarter, weather disruptions in Australia and Brazil were more severe than in previous years, causing a sharp decline in iron ore shipments. Coupled with escalating global trade tensions, the average BDI in the first half of the year fell significantly by 30% year-on-year. Market sentiment improved markedly in the second half of the year. Driven by alternating demand from iron ore, grain, and bauxite trades, the market steadily recovered, culminating in a pronounced year-end rebound.

In 2025, the average indices for BCI, BPI, BSI, and BHSI were 2,568, 1,485,


1,129, and 662 points, respectively. Annual volatility across all indices widened.

By vessel segment, BSI recorded the largest decline at 9.01%, while BCI, BPI, and BHSI decreased by 5.73%, 5.24%, and 5.91%, respectively.

The Maritime Shipping Department always operates in a stable manner. To cope with the fluctuation in the economic climate in the international dry bulk shipping market, the fleet has been operating under a business model in which ships are leased out as short-term or long-term charter ships. As of the end of 2025, the fleet has a total of 11 bulk carriers, including 5 KAMSARMAXs, 4 SUPRAMAXs, and 2 HANDYs, all of which are aged less than 10 years. The collective tonnage of the 11 vessels amounts to 700,365 tonnes. Of these, 2 vessels were chartered under long-term contracts, 8 were chartered out for the short- or medium-term, and 1 joined the KLAV POOL fleet for joint operations. Such a diversified business strategy enables higher shipping rate, thus supporting the growth of the maritime transportation business under an uncertain climate.

[Important Notes]:

The 2025 Business Report does not disclose information regarding the department store business.

This is due to the Company's gradual disposal of its equity interest in its material subsidiary, Grand Ocean Retail Group Limited, throughout 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Group held only a 29.01% equity interest in Grand Ocean Retail Group Limited. Consequently, it was confirmed that the Group "no longer has the power to direct the relevant activities" of Grand Ocean Retail Group Limited, thereby losing control over the subsidiary. [For relevant information, please refer to the material information announcement dated December 30, 2025.]

II. Future Outlook

The global shipping industry is at a critical turning point, influenced by environmental regulatory changes, geopolitical disruptions, AI technological advancements, and evolving market dynamics. Understanding the main driving


factors and challenges in this intricate environment, implementing refined management practices, and continuously enhancing vessel performance are vital to shaping a resilient and sustainable future for the global shipping market. Through the coordinated application of regulatory compliance, technological advancement, and market strategies, the Company aims to establish sustainable profitability and adapt to the ever-changing global landscape.

In response to market uncertainties and changes, the First Steamship fleet will advance with steady momentum toward digitalization, decarbonization, and integration, leveraging its stability and strength to reduce operating costs, phase out obsolete vessels, and enhance operational efficiency. We will purchase vessel models that meet future regulatory requirements at the right time and seek reputable charterers in the market to sign stable and profitable contracts in order to enhance fleet capacity and improve the competitiveness.

III. Conclusion

First Steamship team is fully aware of and will respond prudently to the changes in the global political and economic landscape as well as market fluctuations. Operational cost control will be strengthened, cost-effectiveness evaluations will be prioritized, and projects with high investment returns will be actively developed. The vessel operations will be conducted in the most favorable manner. The Group actively manages its investees and adjusts its overall business strategies in response to changes in the operating environment to establish a solid foundation for long-term operations. We firmly believe that a robust development strategy of diversified business operations will enable First Steamship to create advantages, expand profits, and continue to grow steadily in a competitive environment. We look forward to your continued support and encouragement. We wish you all good health and happiness!

Therefore, the necessity and reasonableness of the endorsement and guarantee made by following the “Operating Procedures for Endorsement and Guarantee” for business needs are indeed normal and reasonable.

Independent Auditors' Review Report

To the Board of Directors First Steamship Company Ltd.:

Audit opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Steamship Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries ("the Group") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the audit reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, along with International Accounting Standards, Interpretations, and Interpretations Announcements.

Basis for Audit Opinion

The audit was conducted in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. The responsibilities of the auditor under these standards will be further explained in the section on the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements. The personnel of the firm to which the accountant belongs have complied with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, maintained an independent stance with the Group, and fulfilled other responsibilities under those standards. Based on our audit results and the audit reports of other auditors, we believe that we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters have been addressed in the context of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and in forming our audit opinion. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters that we believe should be communicated in audit reports are as follows:


  1. Transfer of profit or loss from discontinued operations

For the accounting policies regarding recognition, please refer to Note 4(i) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements; for the explanation on the loss of control over subsidiaries, please refer to Notes 6(f), 6(g), and 12(b) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Explanation of key audit matters:

In December 2025, the Group resolved by the board of directors to sell a portion of its equity interest in Grand Ocean Retail Group Ltd., and the transfer was completed on December 30, 2025. As a result, the Group's consolidated shareholding decreased to 29.01%. In accordance with IFRS 10, it determined that control over the entity was lost; thus, assets and liabilities were derecognized as of the loss of control date, and its income and expenses ceased to be included in the consolidated financial statements from that date. Additionally, in accordance with the conditions set by IFRS 5, it was determined that the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation were met, and the results of the discontinued operations were separately disclosed in the income statement. The accuracy and reasonableness of the equity transaction and the reclassification of accounts, as well as the correct recognition of the gain or loss on disposal, have a significant impact on the financial statements. Therefore, we have determined this to be one of the key audit matters.

The audit procedures in response:

Obtain the minutes of the board resolution executing the equity transaction and the equity transaction contract signed by both parties to evaluate the authenticity of the equity transaction; assess whether management's judgment regarding the loss of control over the investee company complies with relevant accounting standards; conduct an audit analysis of accounts reclassified as discontinued operations to evaluate the reasonableness of the reclassified accounts and confirm whether the composition of the reclassified accounts complies with IFRS 5 "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations"; perform combined control and substantive tests related to the components of discontinued operations' profit and loss, including confirmation, detailed testing, substantive analytical procedures, and cutoff tests to verify the accuracy of the book value; consider the appropriateness of disclosures related to discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements; and verify the correctness of the calculation of the gain or loss on disposal.

  • 13 -

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of Mariner Finance Ltd., a subsidiary of the Group. Those statements were audited by another auditor, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Mariner Finance Ltd., is based solely on the report of other auditor. The total assets of Mariner Finance Ltd., as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, constituted 1% of the consolidated total assets, and the net sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, constituted 1% of the consolidated total sales revenue.

We did not audit the financial statements of certain associates of the Group, which represented the investments in other entities accounted for using the equity method. Those statements were audited by another auditor, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for some other related parties, is based solely on the report of other auditor. The amount of investments accounted for using the equity method for certain other related parties as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, constituted 8% and 2% of the consolidated total assets, and the share of loss of associates accounted for using the equity method for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, constituted (3)% and (6)% of the consolidated loss before income tax.

First Steamship Co., Ltd. has prepared the financial reports for the years 2025 and 2024, which have been audited by our accountant with an unqualified opinion and an added Other Matter paragraph for reference.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations, and Interpretations Announcements endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission. They are also responsible for maintaining the necessary internal control relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements to ensure they are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, management's responsibilities also include assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing 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 the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

  • 14 -

The auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements.

The purpose of our audit of the consolidated financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards does not guarantee that a material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements will be detected. Misstatements may arise from fraud or error. If individual amounts or aggregates of misstatements could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements, they are considered to be material.

In conducting the audit in accordance with auditing standards, we exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism.

The auditor also performed the following tasks:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error; design and implement appropriate responses to the assessed risks; and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error.

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

  3. Evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made by them.

  4. Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and 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 the auditor believes that there is a material uncertainty related to events or conditions, they are required to draw attention in the audit report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are deemed inadequate, to modify the audit opinion. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to be able to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the consolidated financial statements appropriately reflect the related transactions and events.

  6. 15 -


  1. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for directing, supervising, and executing the group's audit assignment, and for forming the group's audit opinion.

The matters communicated by the auditor to the governing body include the planned scope and timing of the audit, as well as significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit process.

We also provided the governing body with a statement that the personnel of the firm to which the auditor belongs have complied with the independence requirements set out in the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, and communicated all relationships and other matters that might be thought to bear on the auditor's independence, including relevant safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined the key audit matters in the audit of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The auditor shall describe these matters in the audit report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure of a specific matter or, in extremely rare circumstances, the auditor decides not to communicate a specific matter in the audit 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 reviews resulting in this independent auditors' review report are Shu-Ying Chang and Chun-Ming Pan

Independent Auditors' Review Report

To the Board of Directors First Steamship Company Ltd.:

Audit opinion

The balance sheets of First Steamship Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as the notes to the individual financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, have been audited by us.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the audit reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the aforementioned individual financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and present fairly the financial position of First Steamship Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and cash flows for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Basis for Audit Opinion

The audit was conducted in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. The responsibilities of the Certified Public Accountant under these standards are further explained in the section on the Responsibilities of the Accountant for Auditing Individual Financial Statements. The personnel of the accounting firm to which we belong have complied with the ethical requirements of independence applicable to the profession of accountants and have remained independent of First Steamship Co., Ltd. and fulfilled Other responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audit results and the audit reports of other auditors, we believe that we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the individual financial statements of First Steamship Co., Ltd. for the year 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the individual financial statements as a whole and in forming the audit opinion, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters that we believe should be communicated in audit reports are as follows:


  1. Evaluation of investments accounted for using the equity method.

For accounting policies related to the evaluation of investments accounted for using the equity method, please refer to Notes to the Individual Financial Statements Note 4(h) and (i); for explanations on the evaluation of investments accounted for using the equity method, please refer to Notes to the Individual Financial Statements Note 6(c) Investments accounted for using equity method.

Explanation of key audit matters:

The amount of investments accounted for using the equity method held by First Steamship Co., Ltd. accounts for 84% of the total assets and is considered significant. Therefore, the assessment of investments accounted for using the equity method is identified by us as the most important matter in this year's audit.

The audit procedures in response:

The primary audit procedures performed by us in assessing the investments accounted for using the equity method include: calculating the investment gains and losses recognized by the company based on its percentage of ownership in the investee company; discussing with management and understanding their assessment of significant matters related to subsidiaries, to understand the reasonableness of the revenue recognition of these subsidiaries and the impairment assessment of goodwill and trademarks; and evaluating whether the information disclosed in the notes to the financial report by management is appropriate.

Other Matter

Included in the investments accounted for using the equity method by First Steamship Co., Ltd., the financial statements of some direct and indirect investees were not audited by us, but were audited by other accountants. Those statements were audited by another auditor, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the financial statements of the aforementioned direct and indirect investees, is based solely on the report of other auditor. The investment amounts accounted for using the equity method for the aforementioned direct and indirect investments accounted for 9% and 5% of total assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the balance of investments accounted for using the equity method accounted for 9% and 10% of total liabilities as of the same dates. The shares of subsidiary and other related party profit (loss) accounted for using the equity method for the aforementioned direct and indirect investments were (4)% and 19% of the loss before income tax from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Responsibilities of Management and Governance Units for the Individual Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for maintaining necessary internal controls relevant to the preparation of individual financial statements to ensure that such financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

When preparing the individual financial report, management's responsibilities also include assessing First Steamship Co., Ltd.'s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting, unless management intends to liquidate First Steamship Co., Ltd. or cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to liquidate or cease operations.

The governance unit of First Steamship Co., Ltd. (including the Audit Committee) is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

Responsibilities of the Accountant for Auditing Individual Financial Statements

The purpose of our audit of the individual financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards does not guarantee that a material misstatement in the individual financial statements will always be detected. Misstatements may arise from fraud or error. If individual amounts or aggregates of misstatements could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users of the individual financial statements, they are considered material.

In conducting the audit in accordance with auditing standards, we exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism.

The auditor also performed the following tasks:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; design and implement appropriate responses to the assessed risks; and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error.
  2. To 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 First Steamship Co., Ltd.'s internal control.
  3. Evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made by them.

  4. 26 -


  1. Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and whether there is a material uncertainty about events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on First Steamship Co., Ltd.'s ability to continue as a going concern. If the accountant believes that a material uncertainty exists related to these events or conditions, they are required to draw attention in the audit report to the relevant disclosures in the individual financial statements, or if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the audit opinion. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause First Steamship Co., Ltd. to no longer be able to continue as a going concern.

  2. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the individual financial statements (including related notes) and whether the individual financial statements appropriately present the related transactions and events.

  3. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of investee companies accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the individual financial statements. The accountant is responsible for guiding, supervising, and executing the audit engagement and for forming the audit opinion of First Steamship Co., Ltd.

The matters communicated by the auditor to the governing body include the planned scope and timing of the audit, as well as significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit process.

We also provided the governing body with a statement that the personnel of the firm to which the auditor belongs have complied with the independence requirements set out in the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, and communicated all relationships and other matters that might be thought to bear on the auditor's independence, including relevant safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the governance unit, we determined the key audit matters for the audit of the individual financial statements of First Steamship Co., Ltd. for the year 2025. The auditor shall describe these matters in the audit report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure of a specific matter or, in extremely rare circumstances, the auditor decides not to communicate a specific matter in the audit 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 reviews resulting in this independent auditors' review report are Shu-Ying Chang and Chun-Ming Pan

Discussion Items

Report no. 3
Proposed by the Board of Directors

Subject: Proposal for Capital Reduction to Offset Losses

Description:

I. According to the auditor's report for the year 2025, the Company had a paid-in capital of NT$8,247,760,670, with a par value of NT$10 per share, issuing 824,776,067 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2025, the accumulated losses to be offset amounted to NT$1,699,872,544.

II. To improve the financial structure, it is proposed to carry out a capital reduction to offset losses. According to Article 239 of the Company Act, the capital surplus will first be used to offset the loss amount of NT$355,901,984 before proceeding with the capital reduction. The capital reduction amounts to NT$1,343,970,560, and 134,397,056 issued shares will be canceled. After the capital reduction, the paid-in capital is NT$6,903,790,110, with a total of 690,379,011 issued shares of common stock.

III. The shares to be reduced this time will be canceled based on the shareholder register on the record date for the capital reduction, according to their Share-holding ratio. The capital reduction ratio is approximately 16.2949753%, reducing about 162.949753 shares per thousand shares, resulting in approximately 837.050247 shares being reissued per thousand shares. The shares already deposited in the securities custody account will be uniformly exchanged on the first trading day of the new shares by Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation. Shareholders do not need to perform any procedures to exchange for new shares. The exchange for shareholders in book-entry custody will use odd-lot shares as an offset for book-entry transfer fees.

IV. For fractional shares less than one share after capital reduction, shareholders may register for combining into whole shares with the Company's stock affairs agent from the fifth day prior to the suspension of transfer to the day before the suspension of transfer for capital reduction and share exchange. Any fractional shares not combined, or still less than one share after combining, will be paid in cash to the shareholders by The Company based on the closing price on the last trading day in the centralized stock exchange market prior to the "Capital Reduction and Share Exchange Record Date", calculated up to the nearest dollar (fractions below one dollar will be rounded down unconditionally). The Chairman

  • 48 -

is authorized to negotiate with specific individuals for purchasing at the aforementioned closing price.

V. The new shares issued in this capital reduction and share swap will be in dematerialized form, with rights and obligations identical to those of the originally issued shares.

VI. The execution of this capital reduction to cover losses will proceed after it is approved by the Shareholder Meeting and reported to the competent authority for effectuation. Regarding the record date for this capital reduction, the record date for the capital reduction and stock exchange, the plan for stock operations due to the capital reduction, or subsequent adjustments to the capital reduction ratio resulting from changes in the Company's capital stock and other related matters, if required by fact or amended by the competent authority, it is proposed to seek authorization from the Shareholder Meeting for the Chairman to handle these matters with full authority in accordance with the Company Act or relevant laws and regulations.

  • 73 -

The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to voting, the chair may announce the discussion closed, call for voting, and schedule sufficient time for voting.

Except with the chair’s consent, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder’s speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the topic, the chair may terminate the speech.

When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders must not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the chair’s consent and the speaking shareholder; the chair should stop any violation.

  • 74 -

Voting in a shareholder meeting should be calculated based on the number of shares.

With respect to resolutions of a shareholder meeting, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting right shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.

When a shareholder has a personal interest in relation to an agenda item that would compromise the Company’s interests, that shareholder must not vote on that item and must not exercise voting rights as a proxy for another shareholder.

The number of shares for which voting rights are not allowed to be exercised in the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.

Except for a trust enterprise or a stock affairs agency approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as a proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights of that proxy must not exceed 3% of the voting rights of the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.

Article 13

A shareholder shall have one voting right per share, except when the shares are restricted to shares or have no voting rights under Article 179, Paragraph 2 of the Company Act.

When the Company holds a shareholder meeting, it shall allow the exercise of voting rights by electronic means or by correspondence. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise should be specified in the shareholder meeting notice. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the Shareholders' Meeting notice. However, such a shareholder shall be deemed to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting. It is therefore advisable that the Company avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals.

A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph should deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company 2 days before the shareholder meeting. In the event of duplicate declarations of intent, the one received earliest shall prevail. However, if a declaration is made to cancel the said intent, such a declaration shall prevail.

If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders' meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.

Unless otherwise required by the Company Act and by the Company's Article of Incorporation, the approval of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the attending shareholders' voting rights. At the time of voting, the chair or the person designated by the chair should first announce the total number of voting rights of the attending shareholders for each proposal. The shareholders shall vote on each proposal. On the same day after the meeting, the results of shareholders' approvals, disapprovals and abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.

When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to the vote. When anyone is approved, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.

Monitoring and counting personnel for voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, but all monitoring personnel should be shareholders.

Vote counting for shareholders' meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders' meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.

When the Company convenes a virtual shareholders' meeting, after the chair declares the meeting open, shareholders attending the meeting online shall cast votes on proposals and elections on the virtual meeting platform before the chair announces the voting session ends; the shareholder failing to do so will be deemed to have abstained from voting.

  • 76 -

These who exercise the vote in the manner of writing or electronic method, without withdrawing their expressions of intents and attending the meeting in the manner of a video conference, other than the extempore motions, must not exercise the votes to the original proposal, propose any amendments to the original proposal or exercise the votes to the amendment to the original proposal.
