Proposal No.2 (Proposed by the board)

Adoption of the proposal for profits distribution of 2019.

Explanation:

  1. This proposal has been resolved by the 24th meeting of the board of directors of 6th term.

  2. The distributable earnings refer to NTD2,336,968,902, resulting from the undistributed retained earnings of the Company in the amount of NTD23,610,434 at the beginning of 2019, plus NTD3,309,308 as profits from disposal of equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, minus NTD60,121,948 as remeasurement of defined benefit plans, and NTD33,202,206 as the loss to be made up after adjustment, plus NTD2,629,834,319 as the net profits after tax for 2019, less NTD259,663,211 as a legal reserve.

  3. The dividends are proposed to be declared according to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company as follows: The proposed dividends to shareholders will be NTD0.82 per share, among which NTD0.65 will be payable in cash, amounting to NTD1,851,241,987 in total, and NTD0.17 will be payable in the form of stocks, amounting to NTD484,170,990 in total. After the distribution, the undistributed earnings at the end of the fiscal year will be NTD1,555,925.

  4. The proposed dividends to shareholders of NTD0.82 per share is calculated based on the total issued and outstanding shares of 2,848,064,596. A proposal will be made to have the shareholders meeting authorize the board of directors to make relevant adjustments if the total number of the issued and outstanding shares changes due to subsequent repurchase of the Company's shares, transfer, conversion and cancellation of treasury stocks or any other factors, and thus results in the dividend rate change. Cash dividends shall be calculated and rounded down to dollar. The total amount of odd fraction will be counted as other incomes of the Company. It is also proposed that the board of directors be authorized, after approval of the annual meeting, to set the record date to distribute dividends.

  5. The Profits Distribution Table for the Year 2019 is attached hereto. (Please refer to page 46 of this handbook)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR19000443

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of IBF Financial Holdings Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of IBF Financial Holdings Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of 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 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 Financial Holding Companies”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Publicly Held Bills Finance Companies”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Futures Commission Merchants” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we conducted our audit in accordance with the“Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants”,Jin-Guan-Yin-Fa-Zi No. 10802731571 and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (“ROC GAAS”); for the year ended December 31, 2018, we conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements of Financial Institutions by Certified Public Accountants” and ROC GAAS. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not

~30~

provide a separate opinion on these matters.

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

Provision for guarantee obligation of financial guarantee contracts

Description

For the accounting policy for provision for guarantee obligation of financial guarantee contracts, please refer to Note 4(14) of the financial statements; for critical accounting judgements, estimates and key sources of assumption uncertainty, please refer to Note 5(2); as of December 31, 2019, provision for guarantee obligation was NT $1,373,676 thousand; for disclosure of the financial statement line item, please refer to Note 6(17) of the financial statements.

The subsidiary, International Bills Finance Corporation’s provision for guarantee obligation of financial guarantee contracts is based on the measurement of expected credit losses (“ECLs”) under International Financial Reporting Standards 9 (“IFRS 9”), ‘Financial instruments’. The Company also sets out related policy and adopts modelling to ensure that the provision is recognised in a proper manner. Modelling and parameter assumptions are adopted with reference to actual loss rate in the past years and yearly macro-economic projections in terms of business cycle released by government agencies. If the credit risk of debtors has not been significantly increased since initial recognition, 12-month ECLs is recognised. If the credit risk of debtors has been significantly increased since initial recognition, lifetime ECLs is recognised after taking into consideration factors such as any adverse changes resulting from debtors’ repayment history, industry information related to overdue payment and the collateral’s value.

In addition, in accordance with “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Non-Performing Credit, Non-Accrual Loans, and Bad Debt” and related regulations, after off-balance-sheet credit assets are classified according to the status of their loan collaterals and length of time in arrears, provision for guarantee obligation is determined based on amount of each classification and their respective fixed rates, to provide guarantee obligation at a sufficient and appropriate amount.

Since the measurement of guarantee obligation of financial guarantee contracts involves subjective judgment and numerous assumptions and estimates, we have included provision for guarantee obligation of financial guarantee contracts as one of the key audit matters in our audit.

How our audit addressed the matter

Procedures we conducted in response to specific aspects of the above-mentioned key audit matter are summarized as follows:

~31~

  1. Understood and assessed the reasonableness of the policies, internal control, and modelling and processing procedures related to the provisioning of guarantee obligation.

  2. Assessed whether the indicators scaling the significant increase of credit risk are reasonable; selected samples and reviewed to confirm that the classification and calculation are both accurate.

  3. Assessed whether the modelling and parameter assumptions are justifiable, for instance, to evaluate the historical loss figures and forward-looking economic factors are properly adopted, and updated on a regular basis.

  4. Tested a selection of appraisal reports on debtors’ collateral to assess whether the point in time of estimated future cash flows and assumptions are reasonable and whether the calculation is accurate.

  5. Sampled and tested information on debtors’ time in arrears and status of collaterals for financial guarantee contracts, and confirmed the completeness of the reports and the appropriateness of the logic for classifications; sampled and tested the appropriateness of provisions that were calculated according to classifications and respective fixed rates as stipulated under “Regulations Governing the Procedures for Bills Finance Companies to Evaluate Assets, Set Aside Loss Reserves, and Handle Non-Performing Credit, Non-Accrual Loans, and Bad Debt”.

Fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market

Description

For the accounting policy for unlisted stocks without active market (shown as ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ and ‘financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income’), please refer to Note 4(6) and (8) of the financial statements; for critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumption uncertainty, please refer to Note 5(2) of December 31, 2019, the unlisted stocks without active market held by the Group were as NT $3,238,247 thousand and were shown as ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ and ‘financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income’ (Level 3 fair value); for disclosure of the financial statement line item, please refer to Note 6(3) and (5) of the financial statements.

Due to the lack of an active market, the fair value of the unlisted stocks held by the group was determined using valuation method. Management measured the fair value by using comparable listed companies in market approach or net assets value approach. The main assumption of market approach is the latest published price to book ratio of comparable listed companies in similar industries, which the calculation is based upon, and discounts on market liquidity or risk particularity. Main assumption of net assets value approach is to assess the total value of individual assets and liabilities to reflect the value as a whole.

~32~

Abovementioned estimation of fair value involves various assumptions and material unobservable inputs which has high uncertainty and relies on the subjective judgment of management. Any changes in judgements and estimates may affect the ultimate result of accounting estimates and have an impact on the financial statements of the Group. Thus, we have included the fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market as one of the key audit matters in our audit.

How our audit addressed the matter

Procedures we conducted in response to specific aspects of the above-mentioned key audit matter are summarized as follows:

  1. Sampled to understand and assess the reasonableness of the policies, internal control, and models for fair value measurement and approval procedures related to the fair value measurement of unlisted stock.

  2. Sampled to assess whether the management adopts valuation techniques widely adopted in the industry.

  3. Sampled to assess whether the management adopts reasonable parameters from comparable companies.

  4. Sampled to examine the inputs and formula in valuation models and to agree supporting documentation with reference information.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Financial Holding Companies”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Publicly Held Bills Finance Companies”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Futures Commission Merchants” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

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 ROC GAAS 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

~33~

consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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

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

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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.

  • Article 9 Attendance at shareholders meetings shall be calculated based on number of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the attendance book for signature or sign-in cards handed over, plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised electronically.

The chairperson shall order the meeting to begin at the scheduled meeting time. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chairperson may announce a postponement, provided that the postponement shall be no more than two (2) times and the postponed time in aggregate shall be no more than one hour. If the quorum for the attending shareholders after the two (2) postponements still represents less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chairperson shall declare the meeting adjourned.

If the quorum is not met after the two (2) 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 Paragraph 1, Article 175 of the Company Act. All shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders meeting shall be convened within one month.

The chairperson may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act before the meeting is adjourned, provided that the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares.

  • Article 10 If the shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set forth by the board of directors. The meeting shall proceed in the order set forth by the agenda, which may not be changed without the resolution of the shareholders meeting.

The chairperson may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of the scheduled meeting agenda under the preceding two (2) paragraphs (including extemporary motions) without the resolution of the shareholders meeting. If the chairperson 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 chairperson in accordance with statutory procedures by a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.

The chairperson shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions proposed by the shareholders. When the chairperson is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently so as to put it to a vote, the chairperson may announce the discussion closed and call for a vote.

  • Article 11 Before speaking, the attending shareholder must specify the subject on a speaker's slip, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order for the shareholder to speak shall be set by the chairperson.

~56~

The 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 that specified in the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.

Unless otherwise agreed upon by the chairperson, the shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed five (5) minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chairperson may prohibit the shareholder form speech.

The minutes and times of shareholder to speak in the proceeding of the extemporary motions other than the proposal shall apply mutatis mutandis the requirements in the preceding paragraph.

When the attending shareholder is speaking, unless otherwise agreed upon by the chairperson and the speaking shareholder, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt. The chairperson shall stop any violation.

After the attending shareholder has spoken, the chairperson may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.

  • Article 12 Voting at the shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares.

With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by the shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.

When the 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, the 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.

Except for the trust enterprise or the shareholder stock services agent approved by the competent authority in charge of securities, when a person who acts as the proxies concurrently for two (2) or more shareholders, the number of voting power represented by the proxies shall not exceed 3% of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares; otherwise, the portion of excessive voting power shall not be counted.

  • Article 13 A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, unless the shares are otherwise restricted by laws and regulations or deemed as non-voting shares.

Unless otherwise provided in the Company Act and Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the resolution of a proposal shall be approved by an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting held by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chairperson or a person designated by the chairperson shall announce the total number of votes held by the attending shareholders.

When the Company holds a shareholders meeting, it shall include electronic means as one of

~57~

the alternatives for exercise of voting rights, and the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by electronic means shall be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but shall be deemed to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extemporary motions and amendments to proposals made at the meeting.

A shareholder exercising voting rights by electronic means shall serve a declaration of intent to the Company no later than two (2) days prior to the date of the shareholders meeting. Where the declarations of intent are duplicate served, the one serving earliest shall prevail, unless a declaration for revocation of the previous declaration is served.

After the shareholder has exercised voting rights by electronic means as above, if he/she further intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person, he/she shall adopt the same mean for exercise of the voting rights to revoke the expression of the intent already exercised under the preceding paragraph to the Company, no later than two (2) business days prior to the date of the shareholders meeting. For any revocation beyond the deadline, the voting rights already exercised by electronic means shall prevail.

Where the shareholder exercises the voting rights by adopting electronic means and appoints an agent by a proxy to attend the shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy shall prevail.

If no objection is raised by attending shareholders after solicitation and inquiries by the chairperson, and shareholders voting by electronic means do not raise any objection or waive his/her rights, the resolution shall be deemed adopted and shall have the same effect as if it was voted by casting ballots.

Except for the proposals listed on the agenda, other proposals by the shareholders or amendments or alternatives to original proposals shall be seconded by other shareholders.

When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chairperson shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the sequence thereof to be voted. In case of any proposal approved, the other proposals shall then be deemed rejected, and no further voting is required.

Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal or election shall be appointed by the chairperson, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company. Vote counting shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders meeting, and the results of the voting shall be announced on-site at the meeting immediately after vote counting has been completed, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, and a record of the vote shall be made.

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 The meeting minutes shall be made for the matter resolved in the shareholders meeting, which shall be signed or stamped by the chairperson and shall be distributed to each shareholder within twenty (20) days after the meeting.

The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and venue of the meeting, the chairperson's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and the summary of the deliberations and their results. The meeting minutes shall be retained for the duration of the existence of the Company.

When the resolution is adopted in the way that no objection is raised by shareholders after solicitation and inquiries by the chairperson, the meeting minutes shall record that "this resolution is adopted in the way that no objection is raised by attending shareholders after solicitation by the chairperson "; while there is any objection raised by the shareholder, the meeting minutes shall record that the resolution is adopted by casting ballots, with the number of voting rights of adoption and the proportion of voting rights.

  • 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 and the number of shares represented by proxies, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at the venue of the shareholders meeting.

If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under the requirements of the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the statutory timeframe.

  • Article 17 Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders meeting shall wear identification cards or armbands.

The chairperson may direct the proctors or security personnel to help maintain order at the meeting venue. When proctors or security personnel help to maintain order at the meeting venue, they shall wear an identification card or armband bearing the word "Proctor."

At the venue of a shareholders meeting, if the shareholder attempts to speak through any device other than the public address equipment set up by the Company, the chairperson may prohibit the shareholder from so doing.

When the shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chairperson's correction to impede the proceedings, and further refuses to follow after the stop, the chairperson may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder to leave from the meeting.

  • Article 18 When a meeting is in progress, the chairperson may announce a break based on time considerations. If a force majeure event occurs, the chairperson 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 extemporary motions) on the meeting agenda have been addressed, another venue to continue the meeting may be resolved by the shareholders meeting.

The deferral or resumption of the meeting within five (5) days may be resolved by the shareholders meeting in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act.
