Independent Accountant’s Report (2023) Tsai Shen Pao Tzu No.22004060
Holiday Garden International Ltd :
Opinion
We have audited the following financial statements of Holiday Garden International Ltd.: The parent company only balance sheets of December 31, 2022and 2021, the parent company only statements of comprehensive income of January 1 to December 31 of 2022 and 2021, the parent company only statements of changes in equity, the parent company only statements of cash flows, 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 aspects, the financial position of Holiday Garden International Ltd. as at December 31, 2022 and 2021 and its financial performance and cash flows for the period from January 1 to December 31 of 2022 and 2021 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for opinion
We conducted the audit in accordance with the Rules Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those rules and standards are described in the section of the responsibilities of accountants auditing parent company only financial statements. Personnel of our accounting firm subject to the independent requirements have complied with the code of professional ethics of certified public accountants of the Republic of China, stayed fully independent of Holiday Garden Hotel Co., Ltd, and fulfilled other responsibilities in accordance with the code. We believe that we have obtained adequate and appropriate audit evidence to form the basis of our audit opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters refer to the most significant matters, according to our professional judgment, in the 2022 parent company only financial statements of Holiday Garden International Ltd. These matters were addressed during the audit of the overall parent company
17
only financial statements and in the formation of our opinion. We do not express our opinion on these matters separately.
We determine the following key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements of 2022 of the Holiday Garden International Ltd.:
Evaluation of investment impairment accounted for using the equity method :
A ssessment of investment impairment using the equity method
Description
For the accounting policy of the investment using the equity method, please refer to Note 4 (13) of the individual financial statements; for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions for the assessment of investment impairment using the equity method, please refer to Note 5 (2) of the individual financial statements; Please refer to Note 6 (5) of the individual financial statements for the description of the accounting items of the investment under the merger metho
As of December 31, 2022, the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the U.S. subsidiary Holiday Garden Hotel Co., Ltd. totaled NT$4,501,674,000, accounting for 52% of the total consolidated assets. Due to the proliferation of various types of hotels in recent years, the intense competition in the hotel industry and the impact of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, management has identified signs of impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of some subsidiaries, so each subsidiary uses estimated future cash flows discounted at an appropriate discount rate to measure the recoverable amount of these assets as a basis for assessing whether to depreciate them. Because the above estimates of future cash flows involve many assumptions that could have a significant impact on the measurement of recoverable amounts, the accountants have included the assessment of impairment of investments using the equity method (impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of U.S. subsidiaries) ) as a significant item in the current year's review.
Corresponding audit program
-
Understand and evaluate management's process for estimating future cash flows of subsidiaries, including reviewing operating plans for the coming year consistent with the Board's approval
-
Evaluate the reasonableness of key assumptions used by management to estimate future cash flows
-
Evaluate the reasonableness of the parameters and discount rates used to calculate the recoverable amount
18
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements
The responsibilities of management are to prepare appropriately stated parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. Management is also responsible for maintaining necessary internal control relevant to the preparation of the parent company only financial statements to ensure that the parent company only financial statements are free from material misstatement 。 by fraud or error
Management when preparing parent company only financial statements is also responsible for evaluating Holiday Garden International Ltd.’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management intends to liquidate Holiday Garden International Ltd., to cease the operations, or 。 to liquidate or to have no feasible alternatives but to do so
Account's responsibilities for the audit of parent company only financial statements
The objectives of accounts for auditing parent company only financial statements are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from any material misstatement due to fraud or error and to issue an accountant’s report accordingly. Reasonable assurance refers to a high level of assurance, but there is no guarantee that accountants performing in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards of the Republic of China can detect any material misstatement from the parent company only financial statements. Misstatements may arise from fraud or errors. A misstated dollar amount, individually or in the aggregate, that could be reasonable predicted to influence the economic decision of the user of the parent company only financial statements can be viewed as material.
In accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards of the Republic of China, we exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also performed the following tasks :
- We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or errors, designed and performed audit procedures according to those risks, and obtained audit evidence that can sufficiently and appropriately form the basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for the one resulting from error because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
19
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
We obtained an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures suitable for the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Holiday Garden International Ltd.’s internal control.
-
We evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
We concluded on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Holiday Garden International Ltd.’s ability to continue as a going concern based on the audit evidence we have obtained. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we will need to draw attention in our accountant’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or to modify our opinion if such disclosures are inadequate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of this accountant’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause Holiday Garden International Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
We evaluated the overall presentation, structure and contents of the parent company only financial statements, including the attached notes, and whether the parent company on financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a fair manner.
-
We obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities within Holiday Garden International Ltd. to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit of the parent company and are responsible for our audit opinion.
We have communicated with those charged with governance regarding the planned scope and the timing of the audit as well as material audit findings (including significant internal control shortcomings identified in the audit).
We have also provided those charged with governance the statement that the personnel of our accounting firm subject to the requirements of independence have complied with the requirements of independence of the code of professional ethics of certified public
20
accountants of the Republic of China and communicate with those charged with governance relationships and other matters that may influence our independence (including related preventive measures).
21
We determined the key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements of 2018 of Holiday Garden International Ltd. according to matters communicated with those charged with governance. We described these matters in the accountant’s report, unless the laws and regulations prohibit such disclosure or under rare condition that we decide not to communicate a given matter because the negative impact from such communication may override its public benefits under reasonable assumption.

Independent Accountants’ Report (2023) Tsai Shen Pao Tzu No. 22004746
Holiday Garden Hotel Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the following financial statements of Holiday Garden International Ltd. and the subsidiaries (the “Group”): the consolidated balance sheets of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income of January 1 to December 31 of 2021 and 2022, the consolidated statements of changes in equity, the consolidated statements of cash flows, and the notes to consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In the opinion of the accountants, in all material respects, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards as approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Interpretative Bulletins and are sufficient to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Holiday Gardens Group as at December 31, 2022 and 2021. the consolidated financial results and consolidated cash flows for the periods January 1 to December 2022 and 2021 The consolidated financial results and consolidated cash flows for January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Basis for opinion
We conducted the audit in accordance with the Rules Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those rules and standards are described in the section of the responsibilities of accountants auditing consolidated financial statements. Personnel of our accounting firm subject to the independent requirements have complied with the code of professional ethics of certified public accountants of the Republic of China, stayed fully independent of the Group and fulfilled other responsibilities in accordance
32
with the code. We believe that we have obtained adequate and appropriate audit evidence to form the basis of our audit opinion.
Key audit matters
According to our professional judgment, in the 2022 consolidated financial statements of the Group. These matters have been addressed during the audit of the overall consolidated financial statements and in the formation of our opinion. We do not express our opinion on these matters separately.
We determine the following key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of 2022 of the Group:
Property, plant and equipment and intangible asset impairment assessment
Description
For the accounting policy for impairment of intangible assets, please refer to Note 4(17) to the consolidated financial statements. For the accounting estimates and assumptions regarding the uncertainty of impairment assessment of intangible investments, please refer to Note 5(2) to the consolidated financial statements. For intangible assets, please refer to Note 6(8) to the consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Group's intangible assets amounted to NT$4,501,674,000, representing 52% of the total consolidated assets. Due to the proliferation of various types of accommodation hotels in recent years, the intense competition in the hospitality industry and the impact of the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak, management has identified signs of possible impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of some subsidiaries. The Company uses estimated future cash flows and the use of an appropriate discount rate to measure the recoverable amount of these assets as a basis for assessing whether impairment exists. Because the above estimates of future cash flows involve many assumptions that could have a significant impact on the measurement of recoverable amounts, the accountants included the assessment of impairment of property, plant and
33
equipment and intangible assets as one of the key items in this year's audit.
Corresponding audit program
We have implemented the following audit program corresponding to the aforementioned audit matter.
-
We have learned to understand and evaluate management's operating procedure for estimating the subsidiaries’ future cash flows and verified that their cash flows for the next year that is consistent with the approval by the Board of Directors.
-
Assess the reasonableness of key assumptions used by management to estimate future cash flows.
-
Evaluate the rationality of various parameters and discount rates used in calculating the recoverable amount.
Other matters: Parent company only financial report
The Group has prepared the 2022 and 2021 parent company only financial statements, and we have issued an audit report with unmodified opinion. That report is available for reference.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
The responsibilities of management is to prepare appropriately stated consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Standards (IFRs), the international Accounting Standards (IASs), and the related interpretations and interpretative bulletins endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Management is also responsible for maintaining necessary internal control relevant to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement by fraud or error.
Management when preparing consolidated financial statements is also responsible for evaluating the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and
34
using the going concern basis of accounting unless management intends to liquidate the Group, to cease the operations, or to liquidate or to have no feasible alternatives but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the supervisors) of Group are responsible for supervising the Group’s financial reporting procedure.
Account's responsibilities for the audit of consolidated financial statements
The objectives of the accountants for auditing the consolidated financial statements are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from any material misstatement due to fraud or errors and to issue an accountant’s report accordingly. Reasonable assurance refers to a high level of assurance, but there is no guarantee that an audit performed in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards of the Republic of China can detect any material misstatement from the consolidated financial statements. Misstatements may arise from fraud or errors. A misstated dollar amount, individually or in the aggregate, that could be reasonable predicted to influence the economic decision of the user of the consolidated financial statements can be viewed as material.
In accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards of the Republic of China, we exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also performed the following tasks:
-
We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or errors, designed and performed audit procedures according to those risks, and obtained audit evidence that can sufficiently and appropriately form the 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.
-
We obtained an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
35
audit procedures suitable for the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
We evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
We concluded on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern based on the audit evidence we have obtained. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we will need to draw attention in our accountant’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or to modify our opinion if such disclosures are inadequate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of this accountant’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
We evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the attached notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a fair manner.
-
We obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of group audits and are responsible for our audit opinion.
We have communicated with those charged with governance regarding the planned scope and the timing of the audit as well as material audit findings (including significant internal control shortcomings identified in the audit).
We have also provided those charged with governance the statement that the personnel of our accounting firm subject to the requirements of independence have complied with the requirements of independence of the code of professional ethics of
36
certified public accountants of the Republic of China and communicate with those charged with governance relationships and other matters that may influence our independence (including related preventive measures).
We determined the key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of 2021 of Group according to matters communicated with those charged with governance. We described these matters in the accountant’s report, unless the laws and regulations prohibit such disclosure or under rare condition that we decide not to communicate a given matter because the negative impact from such communication may override its public benefits under reasonable assumption.

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; all shareholders shall 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 The Company in accordance with Article 2.
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
If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors.

The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders meeting.
~131~
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 onthe meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs , 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
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
~132~
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
Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares. With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of The Company, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 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. When a legal person is entrusted to attend a shareholders' meeting, such legal person may appoint only one representative to attend.
Article 13A 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 The Company 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.

~133~
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. 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 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
~134~
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
The election of directors or supervisors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the applicable election and appointment rules adopted by The Company, 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.
The chairman of the board of directors shall give sufficient opportunity to explain and discuss the motions and amendments or temporary motions proposed by the shareholders, and may declare the discussion closed and vote on them when he/she deems that they are ready to be voted on. The chairman of the board of directors shall give the shareholders an opportunity to explain and discuss the proposed amendment or provisional motion and, if the chairman is of the opinion that it is ready to be voted on, the chairman may declare that the discussion is closed and proceed to vote.
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.
The Company may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the MOPS.

The minutes shall be retained for the duration of the existence of The Company. 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
~135~
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.
Article 16
On the day of a shareholders meeting, The Company 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.

~136~
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. Except as otherwise provided in the related laws 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.
