Global Tek Fabrication Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Operating Report

Global Tek Fabrication Co., Ltd. specializes in the manufacture and sale of precision machining parts and sub-assembly components targeting customers primarily in Europe, United States and Asia. Global Tek Fabrication Co., Ltd. is able to quickly grasp opportunities for growth by way of deep research and cultivation, forming alliances, and integrating its own capacity with that of its production chains. Through a foundation laid on diverse niche markets, besides making continuous advancements in fuel vehicle safety and transmission system components, Global Tek has developed diverse applications within the hybrid and electric vehicle ecosystem. Industrial applications include the fields of semiconductors, oil and gas exploration, maintaining and increasing bicycle kinetic energy, and the active development of new product applications. On the other hand, the market conditions for aerospace application depend on the resurrection of the industry as a whole; through client authentication, medical products are already contributors to revenue and are expected to show imminent growth. As a result, in spite of the impact of the global epidemic on Taiwan in 2021, a high revenue-growth of 22% was attained through the diversification of end product applications and customer globalization mitigating the losses resulting from the recession of a single product application or industry.

I. 2021 Results of Operation

The operating income of Global Tek during the year 2021 was NT $4,305,940 thousand, an increase of NT $790,714 thousand, or 22%, from the operating income of NT $3,515,226 thousand in 2020; the gross operating profit margin for 2021 was 20.5%, a slight decrease from 21.1% in the previous year.

IV. Research and Development

  1. Develop key components for EPS steering systems.

  2. Develop key components for braking and steering systems.

  3. Develop key components for new energy vehicles and autonomous driving.

  4. Develop deep drawing cans for stamping products.

  5. Develop key components for car pressure sensors.

  6. Develop and mass-produce and introduce motor shaft products.

  7. Develop and mass-produce and introduce laser radar products.

  8. Establish a medical surgical stapler product line.

  9. Introduce factory automation and smart technologies and streamline production capacity; maintain rapid response capabilities.

  10. Establish new production methods (laser welding, automatic cleaning/deburring, surface treatment, testing, assembly).

  11. Develop new production and inspection technologies, including those related to fluid control-related precision casting, the processing of engineering plastics, pipe manufacturing and processing, and automated inspection technologies.

  12. The continuous optimization of processes helps to remove production bottlenecks, and through integrating methods to reduce labor costs and hours, achieves balancing of processing.

V. Business strategies and implementation

To respond to increasingly high global environmental requirements and the various factory sites facing labor shortages, the management team will continue to invest in automated production equipment, accumulate product core technologies with competitive value, and optimize internal management systems and improve management thinking, with aim to have Global Tek become the first choice for international customers and a key partner that assists customers in pioneering new products.

Alongside the introduction of second-generation MES and Barcode, establish a virtual warehouse system for suppliers in the factory, simplify factory material management process and reduce the overall inventory, and enhance factory management efficiency. Through the screening of on-site internal partners, off-site existing suppliers, and newly developed off-site suppliers, establish a machine-processed product outsourcing procedure and mechanism to improve the gross profit margin.

11

In terms of automotive industry customer portfolios, the original European and American continental systems have been retained and the supply chains for Korean and Japanese automobile manufacturers have been added. In the future, we will take advantage of the business opportunities brought about by changes in sales quality, focus on the steering and braking systems of new energy electric vehicles, and actively develop the businesses for new land-based automobile factories as well as traditional Japanese automobile factories. The aerospace market expects domestic and international flights to gradually return to normal levels. Flights for the two major airlines Airbus and Boeing are expected to return to pre-COVID-19 levels in 2-3 years. Industrial product applications have benefited from the recovery in oil demand since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with regional conflicts further pushing up oil prices. Combined with the withdrawal of competitors for oil and gas exploration-related parts in the previous year, such products are expected to see fruitful results this year. Under the frency in demand for automotive chips, cryptocurrencies, and remote working, etc., semiconductors underwent strong growth in 2021. In 2022, it is expected that the global demand gap for wafers will still not be fully satisfied, and thus the market demand for equipment will maintain the status quo. High-end bicycles will benefit from the change in commuting and leisure ways of living during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the global bicycle industry chain experienced difficulties in its supply situation, and thus extended the delivery period for key components, frames, transmissions and seats. Since the spring of 2022, the demand has remained intense, maintaining the magnitude of sales. In addition to the existing enduse products mentioned above, this year marks the first full year of medical device component sales, which has provided momentum for the Company's future growth.

Trade disputes between powerful countries, ravages brought about by the epidemic, turbulent international political and military situations, and the interference brought about by the overall environment have become the new normal for businesses. External pressure has thus become a driving force for the management team. Global Tek is a global supply chain of consolidated precision metal products. Since 2020, Wuxi Factory has initiated a series of new factory construction projects. In 2021, the Company looked for a long-term development base for the Taiwan region; the Xi 'an District was subsequently approved by the Board of Directors, with the Company set to implement the plan for the construction of a new wax casting foundry. At the same time, sales offices located in Europe and North America have been closely following the local market trends and international customer demands. Facing the uncertainty of the global situation, Global Tek is committed to taking a forward-looking approach and pledges to establish core competitiveness and expand economic scale through vertical integration and horizontal cooperation. As a key partner that assists in the long-term development of key customers in niche markets across the globe, the Company aspires to take on challenges head-on together with partners, thereby truly becoming a conglomerate organization for sustainable metal products. Thank you for your long-term support. We hope that all shareholders will continue to give their encouragement and guidance to the Company's management team!

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Global Tek Fabrication Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Global Tek Fabrication Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, basic on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the other matter section) the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Report by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

23

Key audit matter for the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is stated as follows:

The Authenticity of Sales Revenue Transactions Shipment from Specific Customers

The Company are mainly engaged in the design, development and manufacture of automotive, industrial and aviation. Due to changes in major sales customer transactions have a significant impact on the financial statements, based on materiality and Statements on Auditing Standards are recognition of revenue are assumed to be a significant risk, therefore the authenticity of the sales revenue transaction shipment from such specific customers is taken of the key points in audit. Please refer to Notes 4 and 25 of the financial statements for the accounting policies and disclosure on sales revenue recognition.

Our key audit procedures for authenticity of the sales revenue transaction shipment from such specific customers included the following:

  1. Understood and tested the design and implementation of the internal controls over revenue recognition from specific sales customers.

  2. Sampled and inspected the sale records of the specific sales customers aforementioned to select appropriate samples to examine the related supporting source documents and to test the receiving situation in order to verify whether the sales transaction actually occurred.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investment accounted for under the equity method which was audited by other auditors, Therefore, our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these subsidiaries and associates, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

The total investment accounted for using the equity method constituted $95,247 thousand and the total assets of constituted 1.76% of total assets as of December 31, 2021,and total share of loss of associates $23,841 thousand and the total share of loss of associates of constituted 13.21% of total profit before income tax as of 2021.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance 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 Report 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 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.

24

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. 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 Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

25

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 year ended December 31, 2021, 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Li Huang Lee and Jui Chuan Chih.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Global Tek Fabrication Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Global Tek Fabrication Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, basic on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the other matter section) the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 Report by Securities Issuers, 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, 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, 2021. 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.

33

Key audit matter for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is stated as follows:

The Authenticity Of Sales Revenue Transactions Shipment From Specific Customers

The Group are mainly engaged in the design, development and manufacture of automotive, industrial and aviation. Due to changes in major sales customer transactions have a significant impact on the financial statements, based on materiality and Statements on Auditing Standards are recognition of revenue are assumed to be a significant risk, therefore the authenticity of the sales revenue transaction shipment from such specific customers is taken of the key points in audit. Please refer to Note 4 and 27 of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies and disclosure on sales revenue recognition.

Our key audit procedures for authenticity of the sales revenue transaction shipment from such specific customers included the following:

  1. Understood and tested the design and implementation of the internal controls over revenue recognition from specific sales customers.

  2. Sampled and inspected the sale records of the specific sales customers aforementioned to select appropriate samples to examine the related supporting source documents and to test the receiving situation in order to verify whether the sales transaction actually occurred.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investment accounted for under the equity method which was audited by other auditors, Therefore, our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these subsidiaries and associates, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

The total investment accounted for using the equity method constituted 95,247 thousand dollars and the total assets of constituted 1.40% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2021,and total share of loss of associates 23,841 thousand dollars and the total share of loss of associates of constituted 11.12% of consolidated total profit before income tax as of 2021.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Global Tek Fabrication Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.

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 Report by Securities Issuers, 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, 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.

34

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

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 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 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.

35

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, 2021, 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Li Huang Lee and Jui Chuan Chih.

The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or related persons to attend a Shareholders' Meeting with a non-voting capacity.

Article IX

The Company shall make continuous and uninterrupted audio and video recordings of the shareholders' debriefing process, the proceedings of the meeting and the entire polling and counting processes from the commencement of the shareholders' debriefing.

If a shareholders' meeting is convened by video conference, the Company is advised to make an audio and video recording of the back-end interface of the video conference platform.

Article X

Attendance at shareholders meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be counted according to the shares indicated in the sign-in book or the sign-in cards handed in and the sign-in record on the video conferencing platform plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised in writing or by electronic means. When the time of a meeting has arrived, the Chairman shall announce the commencement of the meeting and at the same time the number of non-voting rights and the number of shares in attendance.

However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chairman may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than 1 hour, may be made. If there are still not enough Shareholders representing more than one-third of the total number of issued shares present after two rounds of postponement, the Chairman shall announce adjournment of the meeting; if the Shareholders' Meeting is held by means of visual communication, the Company shall also announce the adjournment of the meeting on the video conferencing platform of the Shareholders' Meeting.

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, they may make a false resolution in accordance with the provisions of Article 175, paragraph 1 of the Company Law, and notify each shareholder to convene a shareholders' meeting within one month. The shareholders' meeting shall be convened by video conference, and the shareholders

75

who wish to attend by video conference shall re-register with the Company in accordance with Article 6.

When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders' meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act.

Article XI

If a shareholders' meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the agenda shall be determined by the Board of Directors and the relevant motions (including provisional motions and amendments to original motions) shall be voted on a case-by-case basis, and the meeting shall proceed in accordance with the scheduled agenda, which shall not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders' meeting.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply to a shareholders' meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the Board of Directors.

Before closing the proceedings (including extempore motion) on the scheduled agenda of the above two items, the chairperson shall not announce adjournment at his own discretion; If the chairman announces adjournment by violating the proceedings rules, other members in the board shall quickly assist the attending shareholders in recommending one person as chairperson through permission of more than half of voting shareholders according to legal procedures and proceed with the meeting.

The chairperson shall give the opportunity to fully explain and discuss the proposals, as well as the amendments or motions proposed by the shareholders. When the chairperson is of the opinion that a proposal has been sufficiently discussed to a degree of putting to a vote, the chairperson may announce the discussion closed and bring the proposal to vote. The chairperson shall also allocate sufficient time for voting.

Article XII

Before the attending shareholders make any speech, they need to firstly fill in the speech tenet, shareholder account (attendance certificate S/N) and account name, and the speech order will be determined by the chairperson.

A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. If the contents of speech are inconsistent with the contents of speaker's slip, the contents of speech shall prevail.

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

When a shareholder is giving a speech, the other shareholders shall not interrupt unless they have obtained the prior consent from the chairman and the said shareholder, and the chairman shall prevent others from interrupting.

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. After a shareholder has given a speech, the chairman may personally or designate relevant person to respond.

If the Shareholders' Meeting is by means of visual communication, the Shareholders participating bymeans of visual communication may, after the Chairman announces the

76

commencement of the meeting and before the adjournment of the meeting, ask questions by text on the video conferencing platform of the Shareholders' Meeting. The number of questions for each proposal shall not exceed two times, each time being limited to 200 words, and the provisions of Items 1 to 5 shall not apply.

If such questions in the preceding paragraph are not in violation of the regulations or not outside the scope of the motions, it is advisable to disclose such questions on the video conference platform.

Article XIII

Voting at a shareholders' meeting shall be calculated based 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 interests of the Company, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not 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 may not exceed 3 percent of the voting rights represented by 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 XIV

Shareholders have one voting power for every share; however, those limited or without voting power according to paragraph 2 of Article 179 of the Company Act are not subject to the provision.

When the Company holds a shareholders' meeting, it shall adopt exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt exercise of voting rights by correspondence. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means shall be regarded as having personally attended the meeting. But will be deemed to have waived his/her rights with respect

A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company two days before the date of the shareholders' meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail. However, this restriction does not apply when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.

If, after exercising the right to vote in writing or electronically, the Shareholders wish to attend the Meeting in person or via video conferencing, they shall revoke their intention to exercise the right to vote in writing or electronically in the same manner as they have exercised the right to vote in writing or electronically two days before the meeting of the Shareholders; in the event of such revocation, the right to vote in writing or electronically shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a

77

proxy to attend a shareholders' meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.

The decision by vote upon motion shall only be approved by the consent of more than half of the voting power of the shareholders present, unless otherwise stipulated by the Company Act or the Articles of Association of the Company. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chairperson or a person designated by the chairperson shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.

When there is an amendment or an alternative to a 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 a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.

Scrutineers and vote counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all scrutineers shall be shareholders of the Company.

The convener of the shareholders' meeting via video conferencing shall, after the Chairman announces the conclusion of the voting, count the votes in one go and announce the results of the voting and election.

When the Company convenes a video conference to assist the shareholders' meeting, shareholders who have registered to attend the shareholders' meeting via video conferencing in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 and who wish to attend the physical shareholders' meeting in person shall cancel the registration in the same manner as the registration two days before the shareholders' meeting; those who have cancelled after the expiration of the time limit may only attend the shareholders' meeting via video conferencing.

A person who has exercised his voting rights in writing or electronically, has not withdrawn his/her expression of intention and has participated in the shareholders' meeting via video conferencing shall not exercise his/her voting rights in respect of the original proposal or propose amendments to the original proposal or exercise his/her voting rights in respect of the amendment to the original proposal except in the case of a temporary motion.
