Business Report
Dear Shareholders,
The operational results and plans for the year 2023 of our company are presented as follows:
I. Operational Results for 2023
(1) Implementation of Business Plans
In 2023, despite facing multiple challenges in the global economy including geopolitical instability, resource shortages, and the impact of the pandemic on economies worldwide, our company actively responded and maintained competitiveness. The combined operating income for the year reached 3.025 billion New Taiwan Dollars, representing a 5% increase from the previous year. This growth can be largely attributed to the relentless efforts of our management team in adjusting operational strategies, innovating products, and optimizing the supply chain to effectively address external environmental changes.
In terms of production operations, although prices of IC semiconductor-related raw materials stabilized, our production costs remained high due to the high-priced materials purchased previously. To cope with this, production units improved efficiency by 20% through enhancements in CELL workstation ATE functionality. Additionally, optimization through Smart evision was employed to achieve real-time management dashboards for quality, production efficiency, and sales management.
In terms of management operations, the company obtained the Sports Bureau's certification as a sports enterprise and ranked fourth in the sports calendar for the year 2023. Moreover, in terms of occupational safety and health, we maintained a record of 2 million hours without occupational accidents for 29 consecutive months.
In terms of corporate sustainability, the company, together with 44 outstanding employees, jointly adopted a reforestation project in the Daliao section of the Shimen District managed by the Forestry Bureau. Furthermore, the entire company collected over 700 children's books and donated them to remote areas under the name of Just Going for public welfare, demonstrating our determination to promote environmental protection and public welfare.
(2) Budget Execution
The financial forecast for the year 2023 was not publicly disclosed by our company.

(4) Research and Development Status
In the current year, the company continued to invest resources in innovation and technological upgrades. Several competitive new products were successfully launched, including the GPP-3650 three-channel programmable DC power supply, PSW-Multi multi-channel programmable DC power supply, and LCR-8200A high-frequency LCR tester. These innovative products will further enhance our competitiveness in the industry.
II. Summary of Business Plan for 2024
(1) Business Policies and Expected Sales Quantities
Looking ahead, our company will continue to strengthen global channel management and enhance logistics and maintenance service levels. Additionally, we will deepen our presence in overseas markets, particularly focusing on opportunities in emerging markets to encourage more participation from our partners. In 2024, we have outlined several key focus areas:

(b) Expansion of Resources for Overseas Subsidiaries: Actively investing resources to accelerate growth.
(c) Integration of Marketing Units to Support Business Needs: Generating performance through various marketing strategies.
(2) Important Production and Sales Policies
Business units will aggressively pursue core and new product lines while expanding collaboration mechanisms within the industry to accelerate the production of related products such as new energy, electric vehicles, automotive electronics, and batteries to swiftly seize market opportunities.
III. Future Company Development Strategies, Impact of External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Overall Business Environment
(1) Future Company Development Strategies
(a) Strengthening Distributor Management Mechanisms to enhance distributor cohesion.
(b) Continuously enhancing Smart evision ATE big data collection and analysis capabilities.
(c) Establishing real-time production power and temperature/humidity monitoring systems using Smart evision's instant functionality.
(d) Developing major customers and large-scale projects to expand business.
(e) Developing high-voltage and high-power electronic loads to seize opportunities in the new energy market.
(2) Impact of External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Overall Business Environment
8
(a) Impact of External Competitive Environment and Overall Business Environment: It is predicted that the global economy will gradually stabilize in 2024, but attention must still be paid to factors such as geopolitical risks and fluctuations in raw material prices. Our company will continue to optimize the supply chain to proactively respond to potential market fluctuations. (b) Impact of Regulatory Environment: Our company will continue to comply with domestic and international regulations and closely monitor trends in environmental protection, social responsibility, etc. We will also continue to monitor regulatory changes to ensure the legality and sustainability of our business. Thus far, there have been no significant impacts on the company's finances or operations due to changes in domestic or international regulatory environments.
We would like to express our gratitude to all shareholders for their continuous support and trust. In 2024, we will continue to strive for innovation and continuously enhance corporate value. We look forward to achieving even better results in the coming year with the concerted efforts of all employees. Finally, we wish all shareholders peace and health.

Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese
To Good Will Instrument Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Good Will Instrument Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors section of our report), the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with the requirements of 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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 2023 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue Recognition
12
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue in the amount of NT$2,044,098 thousand. Revenue is derived primarily from the manufacture and sale of various types of instruments, the provision of hardware and software, and installation services. Since some of these sales were exports and the terms of trade varied, it is necessary for the company to judge and determine the performance obligations and the timing of their satisfaction. Therefore, we considered this as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included, but not limited to, assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policy of revenue recognition; testing the effectiveness of internal controls over the sales process with respect to revenue recognition; selecting samples to perform test of details and reviewing the significant terms and conditions of orders or contracts to confirm the performance obligation and the appropriate timing of revenue recognition; selecting samples for certain period before and after the reporting date, tracing to relevant documentation to verify that revenue has been recorded in the correct accounting period.
We also evaluated the adequacy of disclosures of revenue. Please refer to Notes 4 and 6 of the parent company only financial statements.
Valuation of Inventories
As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s net inventories amounted to NT$456,985 thousand, representing 13% of the parent company only total assets. Considering the fact that the value of inventory depends on market demands and is affected by changes in technology, which may cause loss from slow-moving inventories and inventory price decline, while the assessment of inventory loss require significant management judgement, we therefore considered this as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included, but not limited to, obtaining an inventory allowance policy and evaluating the reasonableness of the loss provision ratio from slow-moving inventories based on the Company's operating conditions; testing the accuracy of inventories aging and recalculating the losses from slow-moving inventories; obtaining report of inventory price decline calculation, tracing to relevant documentation and recalculating the loss from price decline to ensure inventories appropriately valuated at lower of cost and net realizable value.
We also evaluated the adequacy of disclosures of inventories. Please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 6 to the parent company only financial statements.
Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the reports of other auditors. These subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for
13
using the equity method amounted to NT$145,097 thousand and NT$639,814 thousand, representing 4% and 18% of total assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The related shares of profit from the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$15,220 thousand and NT$70,530 thousand, representing 3% and 15% of the income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method amounted to NT$(688) thousand and NT$18,532 thousand, representing 2% and 117% of the comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
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 requirements of 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 auditor’s 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 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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,
14
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 internal control of the Company.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
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 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 2023 parent company only financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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
15
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese
To Good Will Instrument Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Good Will Instrument Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors section of our report), the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 2023 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue Recognition
22
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries recognized revenue in the amount of NT$3,024,731 thousand. Revenue is derived primarily from the manufacture and sale of various types of instruments, the provision of hardware and software, and installation services. Since some of these sales were exports and the terms of trade varied, it is necessary for the company to judge and determine the performance obligations and the timing of their satisfaction. Therefore, we considered this as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included, but not limited to, assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policy of revenue recognition; testing the effectiveness of internal controls over the sales process with respect to revenue recognition; selecting samples to perform test of details and reviewing the significant terms and conditions of orders or contracts to confirm the performance obligation and the appropriate timing of revenue recognition; selecting samples for certain period before and after the reporting date, tracing to relevant documentation to verify that revenue has been recorded in the correct accounting period.
We also evaluated the adequacy of disclosures of revenue. Please refer to Notes 4 and 6 of the consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Inventories
As of December 31, 2023, the Company and its subsidiaries net inventories amounted to NT$984,952 thousand, representing 26% of the consolidated total assets. Considering the fact that the value of inventory depends on market demands and is affected by changes in technology, which may cause loss from slow-moving inventories and inventory price decline, while the assessment of inventory loss require significant management judgement, we therefore considered this as a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included, but not limited to, obtaining an inventory allowance policy and evaluating the reasonableness of the loss provision ratio from slow-moving inventories based on the Company's operating conditions; testing the accuracy of inventories aging and recalculating the losses from slow-moving inventories; obtaining report of inventory price decline calculation, tracing to relevant documentation and recalculating the loss from price decline to ensure inventories appropriately valuated at lower of cost and net realizable value.
We also evaluated the adequacy of disclosures of inventories. Please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements.
Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors
23
We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets of NT$145,213 thousand and NT$461,533 thousand, representing 4% and 12% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and total operating revenues of NT$251,055 thousand and NT$447,815 thousand, representing 8% and 16% of consolidated operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the reports of other auditors.
Other Matter – parent company only financial statements
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion including an Other Matter paragraph on the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 Standards on Auditing
24
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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company and its subsidiaries 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.
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 2023 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

| events, at least covering the following particulars: | |
| (I) To what time the meeting is postponed or from what time the meeting will |
|
| resume if the above obstruction continues and cannot be removed, and the | |
| date to which the meeting is postponed or on which the meeting will resume. | |
| (II) Shareholders not having registered to attend the affected virtual shareholders | |
| meeting shall not attend the postponed or resumed session. |
43
| (III) In case of a hybrid shareholders meeting, when the virtual meeting cannot be | |
|---|---|
| continued, if the total number of shares represented at the meeting, after | |
| deducting those represented by shareholders attending the virtual shareholders | |
| meeting online, meets the minimum legal requirement for a shareholder | |
| meeting, then the shareholders meeting shall continue. The shares represented | |
| by shareholders attending the virtual meeting online shall be counted towards | |
| the total number of shares represented by shareholders present at the meeting, | |
| and the shareholders attending the virtual meeting online shall be deemed | |
| abstaining from voting on all proposals on meeting agenda of that | |
| shareholders meeting. | |
| (IV) Actions to be taken if the outcome of all proposals have been announced and | |
| extraordinary motion has not been carried out. | |
| III. To convene a virtual-only shareholders meeting, appropriate alternative measures | |
| available to shareholders with difficulties in attending a virtual shareholders | |
| meeting online shall be specified. | |
| Article4 | 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, the Company 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. In the event of | |
| a virtual shareholders meeting, shareholders intending to attend the meeting online shall | |
| re-register to the Company in accordance with Article 3. | |
| 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. | |
| Article5 | 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. | |
| After the meeting is adjourned, the shareholders are not allowed to elect | |
| another chairman for continued meeting at the same place or another venue. | |
| Article6 | The Company, 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, the Company shall keep records of | |
| shareholder registration, sign-in, check-in, questions raised, votes cast and results of | |
| votes counted by the Company, and 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 the Company 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, the Company is advised to audio and video |
44
| record the back-end operation interface of the virtual meeting platform. | |
|---|---|
| Article7 | 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. | |
| 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. | |
| Article8 | When discussing proposals, the order of discussion shall be in accordance with |
| the agenda. If the discussion violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the | |
| agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech. | |
| Article9 | 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. | |
| Article10 | When a juristic person is appointed to attend as proxy, it may designate only |
| one person to represent it in the meeting. | |
| 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. | |
| Article11 | After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct |
| relevant personnel to respond. | |
| 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 and call for a vote. | |
| 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 Articles 7 to 10 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. | |
| Article12 | The venue for a shareholders meeting shall be the premises of the Company, or a place |
| easily accessible to shareholders and suitable for a shareholders meeting. The meeting | |
| may begin no earlier than 9 a.m. and no later than 3 p.m. | |
| The restrictions on the place of the meeting shall not apply when the Company convenes | |
| a virtual-only shareholders meeting | |
| Article13 | 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 the Company 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 | |
| the Company avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments | |
| to original proposals. A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by | |
| correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph 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, |
45
a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to the Company, 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.
After a proxy form has been delivered to the Company, if the shareholder intends to attend the meeting in person or to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronically, a written notice of proxy cancellation shall be submitted to the Company before two business days before the meeting date. If the cancellation notice is submitted after that time, votes cast at the meeting by the proxy shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company'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. 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 the Company. Vote counting for shareholders meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.
When the Company convenes a virtual shareholders meeting, after the chair declares the meeting open, shareholders attending the meeting online shall cast votes on proposals and elections on the virtual meeting platform before the chair announces the voting session ends 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 the Company convenes a hybrid shareholders meeting, if shareholders who have registered to attend the meeting online in accordance with Article 3 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
Article14 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.
If the meeting venue is no longer available for continued use and not all of the items (including extraordinary motions) on the meeting agenda have been addressed, the shareholders meeting may adopt a resolution to resume the meeting at another venue.
A resolution may be adopted at a shareholders meeting to defer or resume the meeting within five days in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act. Article15 Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes.

46
| the meeting. The meeting minutes may be produced and distributed in electronic form. | |

| 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 the Company. | |

| 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. | |
| When convening a virtual-only shareholder meeting, other than compliance with the | |
| requirements in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall specify in the meeting | |
| minutes alternative measures available to shareholders with difficulties in attending a | |
| virtual-only shareholders meeting online. | |
| Article16 | If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting |
| shall be chaired by the chairperson of the board. When the chairperson of the | |
| board is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the | |
| chairperson, the vice chairperson shall act in place of the chairperson; if | |
| there is no vice chairperson or the vice chairperson also is on leave or for | |
| any reason unable to exercise the powers of the vice chairperson, the | |
| chairperson shall appoint one of the managing directors to act as chair, or, if | |
| there are no managing directors, one of the directors shall be appointed to act | |
| as chair. Where the chairperson does not make such a designation, the | |
| managing directors or the directors shall select from among themselves one | |
| person to serve as chair. When a managing director or a director serves as | |
| chair, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the managing director or | |
| director shall be one who has held that position for six months or more and | |
| who understands the financial and business conditions of the company. The | |
| same shall be true for a representative of a juristic person director that serves | |
| as chair. | |

| results of votes and election immediately after the end of the voting session on the virtual | |
| meeting platform according to the regulations, and this disclosure shall continue at least | |
| 15 minutes after the chair has announced the meeting adjourned. | |
| Article18 | When the Company convenes a virtual-only shareholders meeting, both the chair and |
| secretary shall be in the same location, and the chair shall declare the address of their | |
| location when the meeting is called to order. | |
| Article19 | In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, the Company may offer a simple |
| connection test to shareholders prior to the meeting, and provide relevant real-time | |
| services before and during the meeting to help resolve communication technical issues. | |
| In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, when declaring the meeting open, the | |
| chair shall also declare, unless under a circumstance where a meeting is not required to | |
| be postponed to or resumed at another time under Article 44-20, paragraph 4 of the | |
| Regulations Governing the Administration of Shareholder Services of Public Companies, | |
| if the virtual meeting platform or participation in the virtual meeting is obstructed due to | |
| natural disasters, accidents or other force majeure events before the chair has announced | |
| the meeting adjourned, and the obstruction continues for more than 30 minutes, the | |
| meeting shall be postponed to or resumed on another date within five days, in which | |
| case, Article 182 of the Company Act shall not apply. | |
