The consolidated auto parts sales revenue in 2022 was NT$2,404,724 thousand, an increase of 25.45%, compared to NT$1,916,875 thousand in 2021. The growth mainly reflects the growth in demand for automotive after-sales maintenance (AM) parts and container shipping after the unblocking of the global epidemic The increase in momentum and the appreciation of the US dollar exchange rate have led to a substantial increase in revenue.
B 、 Production
- (A)

In 2022, the company's output was 1,888,694 pieces, with an output value of NT$1,582,524 thousand, an increase of 8.23%, and 13.93% compared with the output of 1,745,109 pieces, with an output value of NT$1,389,045 thousand in 2021.

-
、 -
(B) Research and development
The company developed 20 sets of molds in 2022 and completed the initial mass production, which not only continued to meet the market's demand for one-time diversified purchases, but also continued to improve the bargaining power for the company's product portfolio.
C 、 Factors affecting the overall economic environment
The economic environment in 2022 was affected by the economic warming after the unblocking of the global epidemic, which presented favorable factors for the recovery and growth of the auto industry. However, the momentum of recovery was still affected by unfavorable factors such as interest rate hikes in major global economies and continued regional conflicts. 2023 is expected to be a more cautiously optimistic year than 2022, although the global economy will still face uncertain factors such as interest rate hikes in major economies, the new crown pneumonia epidemic, supply chain supply, and geopolitical conflicts, the cumulative terminal demand and economic recovery are expected to continue, and the number of cars in the past few years has remained stable. To maintain a high level, the average vehicle age in the automotive aftermarket maintenance market will further increase, which will drive the demand for automotive aftermarket maintenance (AM) parts, and the utilization rate of automotive aftermarket maintenance (AM) parts will increase in the future. Regardless of the degree of economic impact, Gordon will continue to uphold the consistent concept of "quality, technology, innovation and customer service" and continue to provide customers with the best services and products. We believe that under the wise leadership of the management team, we can continue the past Innovative performance drives new growth and expands market share in the after-sales maintenance service market.

Attachment I
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
NO.14681110EA
To GORDON AUTO BODY PARTS CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Gordon Auto Body Parts Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its 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 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 Certified Public Accountant code of Professional Ethics in the Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The descriptions of the key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are as follows:
-
Measurement of impairment losses on inventory
-
9 -
Refer to Note 4(5) to the alone financial statements for the accounting policies for inventories; refer to Note 5(1) to the alone financial statements for the accounting estimates and uncertainties in assumptions regarding the valuation of inventories; refer to Note 6(6) to the alone financial statements for a description of inventories.
Description of key audit matters
The Company’s main business is manufacturing and selling auto parts, doors, fenders and molds for collision repair. The products are mainly sold to the repair market for vehicles in the existing market. In the collision repair market, product market life and sales cycle are based on the vehicle models sold. Therefore, the Company adjusts the production quantity of each product each year based on the market circulation status of each vehicle model.
The Company’s production process involves cutting, pressing, sheet metal and baking paint (baking rust-proof paint). Under normal circumstances, such components are less susceptible to deterioration and damage. In the financial statements, inventories are measured at a lower cost or net realizable value. Although the sales prices are adjusted based on the cost of raw materials, the quoted price in U.S. dollars is susceptible to exchange rate fluctuations and competition, which may result in the risk that the carrying value of inventories may exceed the net realizable value, since the amount of inventories is significant and there are many items. Therefore, the Company’s measurement of impairment losses on inventory is one of the most important matters to be audited.
Audit procedures in response
We perform the audit procedures regard to the above key audit matters included:
-
.Obtain an analysis of the year ending inventory’s lost and the lower of net realizable value, and check the total number of each inventory item in the general ledger and the sub-ledger. -
.Compare the policies on the allowance to reduce inventory to market value in the current financial reporting period with those in the, and assess whether the policies are reasonable. -
.Sampling the estimated sale prices of finished goods and products are based on the last sale price before and after the reporting date of the financial statements, and evaluate the basis for calculating the selling expense ratio to confirm the reasonableness of the net realizable value. -
.Evaluate whether the analysis of the year ending inventory and net realizable value provided by management has been compared on an item-by-item basis and calculated. -
10 -
-
.Evaluate whether management has adequately disclosed the allowance to reduce inventory to market value. -
The assessment of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
For the accounting policies of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, refer to Note 4(9) of the parent company only financial statements; for a description of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, refer to Note6(3) of the parent company only financial statements.
Description of key audit matters
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value. The financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income held by the Company are unlisted companies, whose fair value is not available in an active market, so they are valued with the market-based approach. The market-based approach requires a more subjective valuation technique, which significantly affects the fair value measurement results and affects the fair value recognition of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Therefore, the Company fair value assessment of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is one of the most significant key audit matters.
Audit procedures in response
Our audit procedures regarding to the above key audit matters include:
-
.Obtain the opinion from external experts and inquire about their professional qualifications, experience and reputation to ensure the credibility of their skills and capabilities. -
.Check the objectivity of the external experts to confirm whether their opinions can be reasonably adopted. -
.Evaluate whether the values of the amount and ratio of the comparable subject matter used in the external expert opinion are unreasonable in relation to the information about the comparable company obtained from the Market Observation Post System. -
.Check the parameters of the evaluation model and the settings of the calculation formula for inconsistencies or errors. -
Measurement of impairment of property, plant and equipment
Refer to Note 4(8) of the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policy for impairment of tangible and intangible assets (exclude goodwill);
- 11 -
refer to Note 5(2) of the parent company only financial statements for the accounting estimates and uncertainties of the assumptions used in assessing the impairment of tangible assets; refer to Note 6(8) of the parent company only financial statements for the description of property, plant and equipment.
Description of the key audit matters
The Company needs to continuously develop tooling in order to produce products for various vehicles in the market. Depreciation has been provided over the useful life of tooling in line with the average age of vehicles. However, due to competition and market conditions, the Company conducts an annual assessment of property, plant and equipment for impairment. The Company is a single cashgenerating unit. Therefore, the company discounts the estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate to measure the cash-generating unit's recoverable amount as a basis for assessing whether the property, plant and equipment is impaired.
The Company uses estimated future cash flows as a measure of recoverable amounts of property, plant and equipment. The estimation relates to the Company’s forecasts for the next five years, and the assumptions used in preparing the forecasts are prone to subjective judgments and are highly uncertain, resulting in a significant effect on the recoverable amount, which in turn affects whether the property, plant and equipment are impaired. Therefore, the measurement of the impairment of property, plant and equipment of the Company is one of the most significant audit matters.
Audit procedures in response
Our audit procedures regarding to the above key audit matters included:
-
.Obtain documents related to the Company's self-assessment of asset impairment and review whether there is any indication of impairment. -
.Examine the expected future cash flows and estimate whether the average net cash inflows for the current year are materially different from the estimated annual net cash inflows adopted by the Company, based on its actual net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the last five years. -
.Review the projected growth rates to see if they are unreasonable compared to historical results, economic and industry forecasts. -
.Review the discount rate used whether there is unreasonable when compared to the cash-generating unit’s cost of capital assumptions. -
.Check the parameters of the evaluation model and the settings of the calculation formula for inconsistencies or errors. -

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management has the responsibility for the preparation and represents fairly 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 necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 also 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 its operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of 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 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, and 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we performed professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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.
-
13 -
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 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.
-
Evaluate the overall representation, 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 expressed.
-
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 Company audit, and provide an 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 the most significant audit matters of the parent company only financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless the law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
- 14 -
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuo-Fu, Tseng and Chia-Yu, Lai.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
NO.14681110ECA
To GORDON AUTO BODY PARTS CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Gordon Auto Body Parts Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of the Republic of China (ROC).
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 Certified Public Accountant code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 were 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, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and informing our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- 20 -
The descriptions of the key audit matters of the Group consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:
- Measurement of impairment losses on inventory
Refer to Note 4(6) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies for inventories; refer to Note 5(1) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting estimates and uncertainties in assumptions regarding the valuation of inventories; refer to Note 6(6) to the consolidated financial statements for a description of inventories.
Description of key audit matters
The Group’s main business is manufacturing and selling auto parts, doors, fenders and molds for collision repair. The products are mainly sold to the repair market for vehicles in the existing market. In the collision repair market, product market life and sales cycle are based on the vehicle models sold. Therefore, the Group adjusts the production quantity of each product in each year based on the market circulation status of each vehicle model
The Group’s production process involves cutting, pressing, sheet metal and baking paint (baking rust-proof paint). Under normal circumstances, such components are less susceptible to deterioration and damage. In the financial statements, inventories are measured at a lower cost or net realizable value. Although the sales prices are adjusted based on the cost of raw materials, the quoted price in U.S. dollars is susceptible to exchange rate fluctuations and competition, which may result in the risk that the carrying value of inventories may exceed the net realizable value, since the amount of inventories is significant and there are many items. Therefore, the Group’s measurement of impairment losses on inventory is one of the most significant matters to be audited.
Audit procedures in response
We perform the audit procedures regard to the above key audit matters included:
-
.Obtain an analysis of the year ending inventory’s lost and the lower of net realizable value, and check the total number of each inventory item in the general ledger and the sub-ledger. -
.Compare the policies on the allowance to reduce inventory to market value in the current financial reporting period with those in the previous, and assess whether the policies are reasonable. -
.Sampling the estimated sale prices of finished goods and products are based on the last sale price before and after the reporting date of the financial statements, and -
21 -
evaluate the basis for calculating the selling expense ratio to confirm the reasonableness of the net realizable value.
-
.Evaluate whether the analysis of the year ending inventory and net realizable value provided by management has been compared on an item-by-item basis and calculated. -
.Evaluate whether management has adequately disclosed the allowance to reduce inventory to market value. -
The assessment of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
For the accounting policies of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, refer to Note 4(9) of the consolidated financial statements; for a description of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, refer to Note 6(3) of the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matters
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value. The financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income held by the Group are unlisted companies, whose fair value is not available in an active market, therefore, are valued with the market-based approach. The marketbased approach requires a more subjective valuation technique, which significantly affects the fair value measurement results and affects the fair value recognition of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Therefore, the Group’s fair value assessment of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is one of the most significant key audit matters.
Audit procedures in response
Our audit procedures regarding to the above key audit matters included:
-
.Obtain the opinion from external experts and inquire about their professional qualifications, experience and reputation to ensure the credibility of their skills and capabilities. -
.Check the objectivity of the external experts to confirm whether their opinions can be reasonably adopted. -
.Evaluate whether the values of the amount and ratio of the comparable subject matter used in the external expert opinion are unreasonable in relation to the information about the comparable company obtained from the Market Observation Post System. -
22 -
-
.Check the parameters of the evaluation model and the settings of the calculation formula for inconsistencies or errors. -
Measurement of impairment of property, plant and equipment
Refer to Note 4(7) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy for impairment of tangible and intangible assets (exclude goodwill); refer to Note 5(2) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting estimates and uncertainties of the assumptions used in assessing the impairment of tangible assets; refer to Note 6(7) of the consolidated financial statements for the description of property, plant and equipment.
Description of key audit matters
The Group needs to continuously develop tooling in order to produce products for various vehicles in the market. Depreciation has been provided over the useful life of tooling in line with the average age of vehicles. However, due to competition and market conditions, the Group conducts an annual assessment of property, plant and equipment for impairment. The Company is a single cash-generating unit. Therefore, the Company discounts the estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate to measure the cash-generating unit's recoverable amount as a basis for assessing whether the property, plant and equipment is impaired.
The Group uses estimated future cash flows as a measure of recoverable amounts of property, plant and equipment. The estimation relates to the Group forecasts for the next five years, and the assumptions used in preparing the forecasts are prone to subjective judgments and are highly uncertain, resulting in a significant effect on the recoverable amount, which in turn affects whether the property, plant and equipment are impaired. Therefore, the measurement of the impairment of property, plant and equipment of the Group is one of the most significant audit matters.
Audit procedures in response
Our audit procedures regarding to the above key audit matters included:
-
.Obtain documents related to the Group's self-assessment of asset impairment and review whether there is any indication of impairment. -
.Examine the expected future cash flows and estimate whether the average net cash inflows for the current year are materially different from the estimated annual net cash inflows adopted by the Group based on its actual net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the last five years. -
23 -
-
.Review the projected growth rates whether there are unreasonable when compared to historical results, economic and industry forecasts. -
.Review the discount rate used whether there is unreasonable when compared to the cash-generating unit’s cost of capital assumptions. -
.Check the parameters of the evaluation model and the settings of the calculation formula whether there are existing inconsistencies or errors.
Other Matters
The Company has additionally prepared its parent-company financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, on which we have audited and issued an unmodified opinion, respectively.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management has the responsibility for the preparation and represents fairly of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 members of 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 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, and they
- 24 -
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we performed professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting, and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall representation, 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 expressed.
-
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, and provide an audit opinion.
-
25 -
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 the most significant audit matters of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless the law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuo-Fu, Tseng and Chia-Yu, Lai.

This Corporation may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders meeting in a non-voting capacity.
Article 8(Documentation of a shareholders meeting by audio or video)
This Corporation, beginning from the time it accepts shareholder attendance registrations, shall make an uninterrupted audio and video recording of the registration procedure, the proceedings of the shareholders meeting, and the voting and vote counting procedures.
The recorded materials of the preceding paragraph shall be retained for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
Where a shareholders meeting is held online, this Corporation shall keep records of shareholder registration, sign-in, check-in, questions raised, votes cast and results of votes counted by this Corporation, and continuously audio and video record, without interruption, the proceedings of the virtual meeting from beginning to end.
The information and audio and video recording in the preceding paragraph shall be properly kept by this Corporation during the entirety of its existence, and copies of the audio and video recording shall be provided to and kept by the party appointed to handle matters of the virtual meeting.
In case of a virtual shareholders meeting, this Corporation is advised to audio and video record the backend operation interface of the virtual meeting platform.
Article 9
Attendance at shareholders meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the attendance book and sign-in cards handed in, and the shares checked in on the virtual meeting platform, plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronically.
The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time and disclose information concerning the number of nonvoting shares and number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned. In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall also declare the meeting adjourned at the virtual meeting platform.
If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding paragraph, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to Article 175, paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall
- 39 -
be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders meeting shall be convened within one month. In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, shareholders intending to attend the meeting online shall re-register to this Corporation 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 10(Discussion of proposals)
If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors. Votes shall be cast on each separate proposal in the agenda (including extraordinary motions and amendments to the original proposals set out in the agenda). The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders meeting.
The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the board of directors.
The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, the other members of the board of directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting.
Article 11(Shareholder speech)
Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair.
A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content 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 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violation.
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 an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
Where a virtual shareholders meeting is convened, shareholders attending the virtual meeting online may raise questions in writing at the virtual meeting platform from the chair declaring the meeting open until the chair declaring the meeting adjourned. No more than two questions for the same proposal may be raised. Each question shall contain no more than 200 words. The regulations in paragraphs 1 to 5 do not apply. As long as questions so raised in accordance with the preceding paragraph are not in violation of the regulations or beyond the scope of a proposal, it is advisable the questions be disclosed to the public at the virtual meeting platform.

Article 12(Calculation of voting shares and recusal system)
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 this Corporation, 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 three 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 13
A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
When this Corporation holds a shareholder 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 will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but 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 this Corporation 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 shall deliver a written declaration of intent to this Corporation before two days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.
After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person or online, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to this Corporation, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before two business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. 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.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in this Corporation's articles of incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair 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.
- 41 -
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of this Corporation.
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 this Corporation 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 or will be deemed abstained from voting. In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, votes shall be counted at once after the chair announces the voting session ends, and results of votes and elections shall be announced immediately.
When this Corporation convenes a hybrid shareholders meeting, if shareholders who have registered to attend the meeting online in accordance with Article 6 decide to attend the physical shareholders meeting in person, they shall revoke their registration two days before the shareholders meeting in the same manner as they registered. If their registration is not revoked within the time limit, they may only attend the shareholders meeting online.
When shareholders exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, unless they have withdrawn the declaration of intent and attended the shareholders meeting online, except for extraordinary motions, they will not exercise voting rights on the original proposals or make any amendments to the original proposals or exercise voting rights on amendments to the original proposal.
Article 14(Election of directors and supervisors)
The election of directors or supervisors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the applicable election and appointment rules adopted by this Corporation, and the voting results shall be announced on-site immediately, including the names of those elected as directors and supervisors and the numbers of votes with which they were elected, and the names of directors and supervisors not elected and number of votes they received.
The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
Article 15
Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes. The meeting minutes shall be signed or sealed by the chair of the meeting and a copy distributed to each shareholder within 20 days after the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting minutes may be produced and distributed in electronic form.
This Corporation may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the MOPS.
The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the chair's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their voting results (including the number of voting rights), and disclose the number of voting rights won by each candidate in the event of an election of directors or supervisors. The minutes shall be retained for the duration of the existence of this Corporation.
Where a virtual shareholders meeting is convened, in addition to the particulars to be included in the meeting minutes as described in the preceding paragraph, the start time and end time of the shareholders meeting, how the meeting is convened, the chair's and secretary's name, and actions to be taken in the event of disruption to the virtual meeting platform or participation in the meeting online due to natural disasters, accidents or other force majeure events, and how issues are dealt with shall also be included in the minutes.

On the day of a shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall compile in the prescribed format a statistical statement of the number of shares obtained by solicitors through solicitation, the number of shares represented by proxies and the number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting by correspondence or electronic means, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at the place of the shareholders meeting.

Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders meeting shall wear identification cards or arm bands. The chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to help maintain order at the meeting place. When proctors or security personnel help maintain order at the meeting place, they shall wear an identification card or armband bearing the word "Proctor."
At the place of a shareholders meeting, if a shareholder attempts to speak through any device other than the public address equipment set up by this Corporation, the chair may prevent the shareholder from so doing. When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chair's correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.
Article 18(Recess and resumption of a shareholders meeting)
When a meeting is in progress, the chair may announce a break based on time considerations. If a force majeure event occurs, the chair may rule the meeting temporarily suspended and announce a time when, in view of the circumstances, the meeting will be resumed.
