Proposal 2: Authorizing the board of directors to handle the case of capital increase in cash and issuance of ordinary shares to participate in the issuance of overseas depository receipts. (proposed by the Board of Directors)

  1. In order to raise the funds needed for the future development of the Company and to internationalize and diversify our fundraising methods, we propose to request the shareholders' meeting to authorize the board of directors to participate in the issuance of overseas depository receipts through capital increase in cash in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association or relevant laws and regulations and the following principles, based on market conditions and the Company's funding needs.

(1) This capital increase in cash involves the issuance of ordinary shares to participate in the issuance of overseas depository receipts, with a limit of no more than 50 million shares to be issued.

(2) The price of the ordinary shares issued for this capital increase in cash should take into account the current ordinary share market price, but the actual issuance price may be determined jointly with securities underwriter by referring to market conditions. The so-called "ordinary share market price at that time" refers to, in accordance with the customary practices of the issuing market and the agreement between the company and the underwriter, the closing price of ordinary shares on the overseas depository receipt pricing date, or the average closing price of the trading period prior to the overseas depository receipt pricing date.

(3) Except for retaining 10% of the total number of shares for the subscription by employees of the Company in accordance with Article 267 of the Company Act, a proposal to fully allocate the remaining 90% of the ordinary shares for public issuance in accordance with Article 28-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act will be made to the shareholders' meeting to serve as the original securities for participating in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts. All original shareholders waive their right of first refusal to subscribe. Employees who have not subscribed to the portion are authorized to have the Chairman negotiate with specific individuals to subscribe to them or include them in the original securities participating in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts.

  1. Regarding the important contents of the capital increase in cash participating in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts plan including the issuance price, actual number of shares to be issued (the quota), issuance conditions, planned items, fundraising amount, timetable and expected benefits, and all other related issuance operations, the board of directors is authorized to adjust, set and handle them according to market conditions. In the future, if there are changes due to the approval of the competent authority, operating evaluation or objective environmental needs, the board of directors is fully authorized to handle them.

  2. In line with the issuance of ordinary shares through capital increase in cash for participation in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts, the Chairman or his designated person is authorized to approve and sign all documents related to the participation in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts and handle related matters on behalf of the Company.

  3. The upper limit of the proposed issuance of ordinary shares from capital increase in cash is 50 million shares, accounting for 7.46% of the current outstanding ordinary shares of the Company. This does not cause significant dilution of the original shareholder's equity and should not have a significant impact on the original shareholder's equity.

  4. This case has been reviewed and approved by the 6th meeting of the Audit Committee of the 4rd term and the 8th meeting of the Board of Directors of the 14th term and will be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for review in accordance with the law.

Resolution: The voting results, with 94.32% of shareholders attended the AGM voting for the proposal, of this proposal are shown as follows. The proposal was approved accordingly.

Question (Shareholder number 16887) :

Will the capital increase through cash offering be completed in the second half of the year? How will the pricing be determined?

Response from the chairman:

Due to the strong demand for AI, the company will make advance preparations to meet funding needs and make adjustments as necessary based on actual requirements.

VI. Questions and Motions:

Question (Shareholder number 154616) :

In 2023, the company reduced its carbon emissions by 43.95%, leaving a 6% gap to reach the 50% reduction target set for 2025. What specific measures are currently being implemented to ensure that the carbon reduction target will be achieved?

The company has invested in a solar power plant in Miaoli, which is expected to begin operations by the end of this year or early next year.

VII. Meeting Adjournment: 09:43 a.m., June 10, 2025.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Giga-Byte Technology Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Giga-Byte Technology Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and 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 judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2024 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group’s 2024 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

Occurrence of revenue from significant new counterparties

Description

Please refer to Note 4(34) for accounting policies on operating revenue and Note 6(21) for details of operating revenue.

The Group has numerous customers and sales regions across the world, it is infrequent to have revenue generated from a single customer that exceeded 10% of the consolidated operating revenue. Given that the verification of the existence of the transaction counterparty is critical to the revenue recognition, the occurrence of revenue from significant new counterparties was identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Interviewed with management and obtained an understanding of the revenue recognition policy, and the consistency of the policy application during the financial reporting periods.
  2. Obtained an understanding and tested credit check procedures for significant new counterparties. Verified that the transactions with significant new counterparties have been properly approved and agreed with supporting documentation, which include searching transaction counterparty’s related information.
  3. Obtained an understanding and tested the selling price and credit term of significant new counterparties.

  4. Interviewed with management and obtained an understanding for the reason of accounts receivable overdue from significant new counterparties in order to evaluate the reasonableness.

  5. Sampled and tested detailed revenue schedules of significant new counterparties and verified the original supporting documentation.

  6. Sent accounts receivable confirmation letters to significant new counterparties. Investigated the reason and tested reconciling items made by the Group if the result in confirmation reply did not correspond to records, or tested collections after the balance sheet date if no confirmation reply was received.

Assessment of allowance for valuation of inventory loss

Description

Please refer to Note 4(14) for accounting policies on inventories, Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty and Note 6(5) for details of inventories.

The Group is primarily engaged in manufacturing and selling of computer hardware equipment and related components. Due to the short life cycle of electronic products and the price is highly subject to market fluctuation, the risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or having obsolete inventory are relatively high. Inventories held for sale in the ordinary course of business are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value; Valuation loss are recognized for those inventories which exceed certain aging period or individually identified as obsolete inventories based on its net realisable value.

Given that the amount inventories is significant and that the individually identified net realizable value of obsolete inventories has uncertainty based on prior industry experience, the evaluation of the allowance for valuation loss was identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Interviewed with management and obtained an understanding of the policy and process on evaluation of the allowance for valuation loss, and the consistency of the policy and process application during the financial reporting periods.

  2. Obtained an understanding of the warehouse management procedures, reviewed annual physical inventory count plan and participated in the annual inventory count. Evaluated the effectiveness of management controls on identifying and managing obsolete inventories.

  3. Tested the appropriateness of system logic in inventory aging report which management adopted for inventories valuation purpose, and verified that obsolete inventories which exceeded a certain aging period were included in the report.

  4. Evaluated the reasonableness of obsolete or damaged inventory items which were identified by management, reviewed related supporting documentation, and compared to the results obtained from the observation of physical inventory count.

  5. For inventories which exceeded a certain aging period of aging and individually identified as obsolete and damaged, discussed with management and obtained supporting documentation of the evaluation on net realisable value, and performed recalculation.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion with Other matter paragraph on the parent company only financial statements of Giga-Byte Technology Co., Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

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, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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 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 the audit committee, are 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 judgement and 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 Group's internal control.

  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 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 the consolidated financial statements of the current period 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Giga-Byte Technology Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Giga-Byte Technology Co., Ltd. as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and 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 parent company only 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, 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 judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2024 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s 2024 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

Occurrence of revenue from significant new counterparties

Please refer to Note 4(31) for accounting policies on operating revenue and Note 6(17) for details of operating revenue.

The Company has numerous customers and sales regions across the world, it is infrequent to have revenue generated from a single customer that exceeded 10% of the consolidated operating revenue. Given that the verification of the existence of the transaction counterparty is critical to the revenue recognition, the occurrence of revenue from significant new counterparties was identified as a key audit matter.

  1. Interviewed with management and obtained an understanding of the revenue recognition policy, and the consistency of the policy application during the financial reporting periods.
  2. Obtained an understanding and tested credit check procedures for significant new counterparties. Verified that the transactions with significant new counterparties have been properly approved and agreed with supporting documentation, which include searching transaction counterparty’s related information.
  3. Obtained an understanding and tested the selling price and credit term of significant new counterparties.

  4. Interviewed with management and obtained an understanding for the reason of accounts receivable overdue from significant new counterparties in order to evaluate the reasonableness.

  5. Sampled and tested detailed revenue schedules of significant new counterparties and verified the original supporting documentation.

  6. Sent accounts receivable confirmation letters to significant new counterparties. Investigated the reason and tested reconciling items made by the Company if the result in confirmation reply did not correspond to records, or tested collections after the balance sheet date if no confirmation reply was received.

Assessment of allowance for valuation of inventory loss

Please refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policies on inventories, Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty and Note 6(4) for details of inventories.

The Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing and selling of computer hardware equipment and related components. Due to the short life cycle of electronic products and the price is highly subject to market fluctuation, the risk of incurring inventory valuation losses or having obsolete inventory are relatively high. Inventories held for sale in the ordinary course of business are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value; Valuation loss are recognized for those inventories which exceed certain aging period or individually identified as obsolete inventories based on its net realizable value.

Given that the amount of inventories is significant and that the individually identified net realizable value of obsolete inventories has uncertainty based on prior industry experience, the evaluation of the allowance for valuation loss was identified as a key audit matter.

  1. Interviewed with management and obtained an understanding of the policy and process on evaluation of the allowance for valuation loss, and the consistency of the policy and process application during the financial reporting periods.

  2. Obtained an understanding of the warehouse management procedures, reviewed annual physical inventory count plan and participated in the annual inventory count. Evaluated the effectiveness of management controls on identifying and managing obsolete inventories.

  3. Tested the appropriateness of system logic in inventory aging report which management adopted for inventories valuation purpose, and verified that obsolete inventories which exceeded a certain aging period were included in the report.

  4. Evaluated the reasonableness of obsolete or damaged inventory items which were identified by management, reviewed related supporting documentation, and compared to the results obtained from the observation of physical inventory count.

  5. For inventories which exceeded a certain aging period of aging and individually identified as obsolete and damaged, discussed with management and obtained supporting documentation of the evaluation on net realisable value, and performed recalculation.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management 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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgement and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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 Company's internal control.
  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 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 parent company only 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.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only 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 parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements of the current period 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.
