2. Power to Issue Shares
2.1 Subject to the Applicable Law, the Articles and any resolution of the Members to the contrary, and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing shares or class of shares, the Board shall have the power to issue any unissued shares of the Company on such terms and conditions as it may determine and any shares or class of shares (including the issue or grant of options, warrants and other rights, renounceable or otherwise in respect of shares) may be issued with such preferred, deferred or other special rights or such restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital, or otherwise as the Company may by resolution of the Members prescribe, provided that no share shall be issued at a discount except in accordance with the Law and the Applicable Public Company Rules.
2.2 The authorized capital of the Company is NTD1,500,000,000, which shall be divided into 110,000,000 ordinary shares, 13,330,000 Class A preferred shares and 26,670,000 Class B preferred shares, all of which shall have the par value of NTD10 per share. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles, the issue of new shares of the Company shall be approved by a majority of the Directors at a meeting attended by two-thirds or more of the total number of the Directors. The issue of new shares shall at all times be subject to the sufficiency of the authorized capital of the Company.
2.3 After the application for trading of the shares on the ESM or listing in Taiwan has been approved by the TPEx or the TSE, as applicable, where the Company increases its issued share capital by issuing new shares for cash consideration in the ROC, the Company shall allocate 10% of the total amount of the new shares to be issued, for offering in the ROC to the public ("Public Offering Portion") unless it is not necessary or appropriate, as determined by the FSC, the TSE or the TPEx for the Company to conduct the aforementioned public offering or otherwise provided by Applicable Law. However, if a percentage higher than the aforementioned 10% is resolved by the Members in a general meeting by Ordinary Resolution to be offered, the percentage determined by such resolution shall prevail and shares corresponding to such percentage shall be reserved as Public Offering Portion. The Company
18
may also reserve 10% to 15% of such new shares for subscription by the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the "Employee Subscription Portion"). The Company may prohibit such employees from transferring the shares so subscribed within a certain period; provided, however, that such a period cannot be more than two years.
2.4 Unless otherwise resolved by the Members in general meeting by Ordinary Resolution, where the Company increases its issued share capital by issuing new shares for cash consideration pursuant to Article 2.3 hereof, after allocation of the Public Offering Portion, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any percentage in excess of 10% of the total amount of the new shares to be issued for offering in the ROC to the public as resolved by the Members in general meeting be offered pursuant to Article 2.3, and the Employee Subscription Portion pursuant to Article 2.3 hereof, the Company shall make a public announcement and notify each Member that he is entitled to exercise a pre-emptive right to purchase his pro rata portion of the remaining new shares, to be issued in the capital increase for cash consideration. The Company shall state in such announcement and notices to the Members the procedures for exercising such pre-emptive rights and that if any Member fails to purchase his pro rata portion of such remaining newly-issued shares within the prescribed period, such Member shall be deemed to forfeit his pre-emptive right to purchase such newly-issued shares. Where an exercise of the pre-emptive right may result in fractional entitlement of a Member, the entitlements (including fractional entitlements) of two or more Members may be combined to jointly subscribe for one or more whole new shares in the name of a single Member, subject to compliance with such directions and terms and conditions as determined by the Board and the Applicable Public Company Rules. If the total number of the new shares to be issued has not been fully subscribed for by the Members within the prescribed period, the Company may consolidate such shares into the public offering tranche or offer any un-subscribed new shares to a specific person or persons in such manner as is consistent with the Applicable Public Company Rules.
If the subscriber delays payment for shares, the Company shall fix a period of not less than one month and call upon such subscribers to pay up, declaring that in case of default of payment within the stipulated period their right shall be forfeited. After the Company has made the aforesaid call, the subscribers who fail to pay accordingly shall forfeit their rights and the shares subscribed to by them shall be otherwise sold. Under the aforesaid circumstances, compensation for loss or damage, if any, may still be claimed against such defaulting subscribers.
2.5 Subject to the provisions of the Applicable Law, the Company may issue new shares with restricted rights ("Restricted Shares") to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries with the sanction of a Supermajority Resolution provided that Article 2.3 hereof shall not apply in respect of the issue of such shares. For so long as the shares are traded on the ESM or listed in Taiwan, the terms of issue of Restricted Shares, including but not limited to the number of Restricted Shares so issued, issue price of Restricted Shares and other related matters shall be in accordance with the rules promulgated by the Applicable Public Company Rules.
19
2.6 The pre-emptive right of Members under Article 2.4 shall not apply in the event that new shares are issued due to the following reasons or for the following purposes:
(a) in connection with a Merger, spin-off, or pursuant to any reorganization of the Company;
(b) in connection with meeting the Company's obligations under share subscription warrants and/or options, including those rendered in Articles 2.8 and 2.11 hereof;
(c) in connection with the issue of Restricted Shares in accordance with Article 2.5 hereof;
(d) in connection with meeting the Company's obligations under convertible bonds or corporate bonds vested with rights to acquire shares;
(e) in connection with meeting the Company's obligations under Preferred Shares vested with rights to acquire shares; or
(f) in connection with Private Placement of the securities issued by the Company.
2.7 The Company shall not issue any unpaid shares or partly paid-up shares.
2.8 Notwithstanding Article 2.5 hereof, the Company may, upon approval by a majority of the Directors at a meeting attended by two-thirds or more of the total number of the Directors, adopt one or more employee incentive programmes and may issue shares or options, warrants or other similar instruments, to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and for the avoidance of doubt, resolution of the Members is not required.
2.9 Options, warrants or other similar instruments issued in accordance with Article 2.8 above are not transferable save by inheritance.
2.10 Directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for Restricted Shares pursuant to Article 2.5 hereof or the incentive programmes pursuant to Article 2.8 hereof, provided that Directors who are also employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries may subscribe for Restricted Shares or participate in an incentive programme in their capacity as an employee and not as a Director of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
2.11 The Company may enter into agreements with employees of the Company and/or the employees of its Subsidiaries in relation to the incentive programme approved pursuant to Article 2.8 above, whereby employees may subscribe for, within a specific period, a specific number of the shares. The terms and conditions of such agreements shall be no less restrictive on the relevant employee than the terms specified in the applicable incentive programme.
2.12 Without prejudice to any provisions in this Article 2, where shares are issued by the Company for purposes of changing the currency denomination of share capital of the Company as approved by the members at a general meeting (the "Redenomination"), to the extent that the
20
percentage of shareholding interest of the members of the Company will not be affected and the members are not required to pay any amounts for any new shares issued in connection with the Redenomination in excess of the proceeds of any share buy back of their existing shares which are subject to the Redenomination, no further approval or consent of the Member or Members shall be required.
2.13 After its establishment, the Company may issue new shares as the consideration for obtaining the shares of other company, which shall be adopted by the resolution of the Board meeting with a majority vote of the directors present at the Board meeting attended by directors representing two-thirds or more of the Board, and is not subject to the restriction under Article 2.3 and 2.4 hereof.
3. Redemption and Purchase of Shares
3.1 Subject to the Law, the Company is authorised to issue shares which are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or a Member.
3.2 The Company is authorised to make payments in respect of the redemption of its shares out of capital or out of any other account or fund authorised for this purpose in accordance with the Law.

股份
2發行股份之權力
2.1 除適用法律、本章程及股東會另有決議外,於未損及任何現有股份或股別持有人之特別權利下,董事會有權依其決定之條件發行任何公司尚未發行之股份,且得依股東決議發行任何就股利、表決權、資本返還或其他事項具有優先權、遞延權或其他特殊權利或限制之股份或股別(包括就股份所發行得棄權或其他種類之選擇權、認股權憑證和其他權利),惟除依開曼公司法規定及公開發行公司規則外,不得折價發行股票。
2.2 本公司授權資本額為新台幣15億元,分成1億1仟萬股普通股及1仟3佰3拾3萬股甲種特別股及2仟6佰6拾7萬股乙種特別股,每股面額為新台幣10.00元。除本章程另有規定外,公司發行新股應經董事會三分之二以上董事出席及出席董事超過二分之一之同意,並限於公司之授權資本內為之。
2.3 公司向櫃買中心申請股份登錄興櫃或於中華民國上市櫃經核准後,在中華民國境內辦理現金增資發行新股時,除適用法律另有規定或經金管會、證交所或櫃買中心認為公司無須或不適宜辦理外,公司應提撥發行新股總額百分之十,在中華民國境內對外公開發行(下稱「公開銷售部分」);然若股東會以普通決議另為較高比率之決議者,從其決議,並提撥相當於該等較高比率之股份作為公開銷售部分。公司得保留發行新股總額百分之十至百分之十五供公司及附屬公司之員工認購(下稱「員工認股部分」)。公司對該等員工認購之新股,得限制在一定期間內不得轉讓,但其期間最長不得超過二年。
2.4 除經股東會另以普通決議為不同決議外,公司依本章程第2.3條辦理現金增資發行新股時,於依本章程第2.3條提撥公開銷售部分(為免疑義,包含公司依第2.3條增資發行新股,股東會決議提撥高於發行新股總額百分之十之股份在中華民國境內對外公開發行,其超過發行新股總額百分之十的部分)及員工認股部分後,應公告及通知原有股東,其有權按照原有股份比例優先認購剩餘新股。公司應在前開公告中華明行使此優先認股權之方式,及若任何股東逾期不認購者,視為喪失其權利。原有股東持有股份按比例不足分認一新股者,得依董事會決定之條件及公開發行公司規則,合併其認股權而以單一股東名義共同認購一股或多股;原有股東於前述時間內未認足者,公司得就未認購部分依符合公開發行公司規則之方式辦理公開銷售或洽特定人認購。
本公司發行新股,若認股人延欠應繳之股款時,本公司應定一個月以上之期限催告該認股人照繳,並聲明逾期不繳失其權利。本公司已為前述之催告,認股人不照繳者,即失其權利,所認之股份另行募集。如有損害,仍得向認股人請求賠償。
2.5 於不違反或抵觸適用法律之前提下,公司得經股東會重度決議發行限制員工權利之新股(下稱「限制型股票」)予公司及附屬公司之員工,不適用本章程第2.3條之規定。股份登錄興櫃或於中華民國上市櫃期間,限制型股票之發行條件,包括但不限於發行數量、發行價格及其他相關事項,應符合公開發行公司規則。
2.6 本章程第2.4條規定之股東優先認股權於公司因以下原因或基於以下目的發行新股時,不適用之:
(a)公司合併、分割,或為公司重整;
(b)公司為履行認股權憑證及/或選擇權下之義務,包括本章程第2.8條及第2.11條所規定者;
(c)公司依本章程第2.5條規定發行限制型股票;
65
(d)公司為履行可轉換公司債或附認股權公司債下之義務;
(e)公司為履行附認股權特別股下之義務;或
(f)公司進行私募有價證券時。
2.7 公司不得發行任何未繳納股款或繳納部分股款之股份。
2.8 縱有本章程第 2.5 條之規定,公司得經董事會三分之二以上董事出席及出席董事超過二分之一之同意,通過一個以上之員工獎勵措施,並得發行股份或選擇權、認股權憑證或其他類似之證券予公司及其附屬公司之員工;為免疑義,上開事項無需另經股東會決議通過。
2.9 依前述本章程第 2.8 條發行之選擇權、認股權憑證或其他類似之證券不得轉讓,但因繼承者不在此限。
2.10 公司及其附屬公司之董事非本章程第 2.5 條所定發行限制型股票及第 2.8 條所定獎勵措施之對象,但倘董事亦為公司或其附屬公司之員工,該董事得基於員工身分(而非董事身分)認購限制型股票或參與獎勵措施。
2.11 公司得與其員工及/或其附屬公司之員工就前述本章程第 2.8 條所定之獎勵措施簽訂契約,約定於一定期間內,員工得認購特定數量之公司股份。此等契約之條款對相關員工之限制不得少於其所適用之獎勵措施所載條件。
2.12 於本條不影響本章程第 2 條其他規定之情形下,如公司係為變更股份票面額而經股東會決議發行股份時(以下簡稱「票面額變更」),如無礙公司股東依其持股比例所享利益且股東無需支付股款以取得票面額變更所發行股份時(但為完成票面額變更,以公司向股東買回原既存股份所得價款支付票面額變更股份所需股款者,不在此限),無需另取得公司各股東之同意。
2.13 公司設立後得發行新股作為受讓他公司股份之對價,需經董事會三分之二以上董事出席,以出席董事過半數決議行之,不受第 2.3 條及第 2.4 條之限制。

3.10 限於無法以其他方式贖回(或非另為此發行新股,無法贖回)之情形及範圍下,董事會始可於其認為適當時,行使開曼公司法第 37 條第(5)項(從資本中撥款支付)賦予公司之權限。

股息及撥充資本
14 股息
14.1 董事會經股東會以普通決議通過後,或於章程第 12.3(a)條所述情況下,依重度決議通過後,於不違反章程及股東會之指示下,依各股東持股比例發放股利予股東,且股利得以現金或股份發放。
14.2 於不違反適用法律情形下,除以公司已實現或未實現利潤、股份發行溢價帳戶或開曼公司法允許之公積、
準備金或其他款項支付股利或為其他分派外,公司不得發放股利或為其他分派。除股份所附權利另有規定者外,所有股利及其他分派應依股東持有股份比例計算之。如股份發行條件係從一特定日期開始計算股利,則該股份之股利應依此計算。
14.3 除開曼公司法、本章程或股份所附權利另有規定者外,本公司盈餘分派依董事會通過之盈餘分派提案,經股東常會以普通決議通過分派之。
14.4 本公司營運係處於成長階段,由董事會視本公司每半年會計年度之盈餘、整體發展、財務規劃、資本需求、產業展望及本公司未來前景等,並由董事會擬具股東股利分派議案,提請股東會決議分派之。股份登錄興櫃或於中華民國上市櫃期間,董事會於盈餘分派提案時,應於每會計年度盈餘中先提列:(i)支付相關會計年度稅款之準備金;(ii)彌補過去虧損之數額;(iii)百分之十(10%)之盈餘公積(下稱「法定盈餘公積」);及(iv)中華民國證券主管機關依公開發行公司規則要求之特別盈餘公積。如尚有盈餘,得依下列方式及順序分派:
(y)不高於百分之十五(15%)作為員工酬勞,包括附屬公司之員工,其資格由本公司董事會決定;
(z)不高於百分之三(3%)作為董事(不包括獨立董事)酬勞;及
(aa)如有剩餘,得併同以往年度累積之未分配盈餘之全部或一部,依開曼公司法及公開發行公司規則,在考量財務、業務及經營因素後,以不低於可分配盈餘之百分之十(10%),作為股東股利,依股東持股比例進行分派。股東股利採股票股利及現金股利兩者方式互相配合方式分派,惟其中現金股利不低於百分之十(10%)。
14.5 公司前半會計年度盈餘分派或虧損撥補之議案,應連同營業報告書及財務報表交審計委員會查核後,提董事會決議之。考量本公司主要營運地在中國大陸,董事會有權於分派現金股利時以人民幣宣告,以及因應匯款變化之調整機制。公司得以章程授權董事會以三分之二以上董事之出席,及出席董事過半數之決議,將應分派股息及紅利之全部或一部,以發放現金之方式為之,並報告股東會。董事會應擇定基準日決定有權獲配股息或其他分派之股東。
14.6 為決定有權獲配股息或其他分配之股東,董事會得決定股東名冊之變更於相關基準日前五日、或其他符合公開發行公司規則及開曼公司法規定之期間內,不得為之。
14.7 公司就未分派之股利概不支付利息。
15 資本公積及盈餘之提撥
15.1 董事會得於分派股息前,自公司盈餘或利潤中提撥部分其所認適當之準備金以支應或有支出、或填補執行股利分配計畫不足之數額或為其他妥適使用之目的。該等款項於運用前,得由董事會全權決定用於公司業務或依董事會隨時認為之適當投資,且無須與公司其他資產分離。董事會亦得不提撥準備金而保留不予分配之利潤。
15.2 於不違反股東會指示下,董事會得代表公司就資本公積行使開曼公司法賦予公司之權力及選擇權。董事會得依適用法律及章程規定,代表公司以資本公積彌補累積虧損及分派盈餘。
16 付款方式
16.1 任何股息、利息或股份相關之現金支付得以匯款轉帳至股東指定帳戶、或以支票或匯票郵寄至股東名冊所載股東地址、或該股東以書面指定之第三人及其地址之方式支付之。
16.2 於共同持有股份之情形,任何股息、利息或股份相關之現金支付,得以支票或匯票郵寄至股東名冊所載第一列名持有人地址、或該持有人以書面指定之第三人及其地址之方式支付之。如二人以上之人登記為股份共同持有人,任一人皆有權於收訖該股份之股息後,出具有效之收據。
16.3 股份登錄興櫃或於中華民國上市櫃期間,任何股利之支付應遵守公開發行公司規則及開曼公司法。
17 撥充資本
在不違反適用法律及章程第12.3(a)條之情形下,董事會得經股東會重度決議將資本公積、法定盈餘公積超過實收資本額百分之部分或依公開發行公司規則可供分配之其他公積,繳足未發行股份之股款,按股東持股比例發放股票予股東,以撥充資本。

24.1 股東會由董事會召集者,董事長如出席,應擔任股東會主席。董事長請假或因故不能行使職權時,由副董事長代理之;若未設副董事長,或副董事長亦請假或因故不能行使職權時,應由出席股東會之董事互選出會議主席。
24.2 股份登錄興櫃或於中華民國上市櫃期間,股東會主席應依公開發行公司規則指派或選舉會議主席。
25 股東表決
25.1 在不影響其股份所附有之任何權利或限制下,每一親自出席或委託代理人出席之自然人股東,或經由其合法授權之代表親自出席或委託代理人出席之公司或非自然人股東,就其所持有的每一股份均有一表決權。股東係為他人持有股份時,股東得主張分別行使表決權,其分別行使表決權之資格條件、適用範圍、行使方式、作業程序及其他事項,應依公開發行公司規則之規定辦理。
25.2 除於相關股東會或特定類別股份股東會基準日已登記為該股份之股東且已繳納相關股款者外,任何人均無權在股東會上行使表決權。
25.3 股東得親自或透過代理人行使表決權。股東得以公司準備之委託書,載明委託範圍委託代理人出席股東會行使表決權;惟一股東以出具一委託書,並以委託一個代理人出席股東會並行使表決權為限。
25.4 除開曼公司法另有規定外,股份登錄興櫃或於中華民國上市櫃期間,董事會得決定股東於股東會之表決權得以書面投票或電子方式行使之,惟股東會於中華民國境外召開或公開發行公司規則要求時,公司應提供股東得以書面投票或電子方式行使表決權。如表決權得以書面投票或電子方式行使時,該等行使表決權之方式應載明於寄發予股東之股東會通知。股東擬以書面投票或電子方式行使其表決權者,至遲應於股東會開會二日前將其投票指示送達於公司,投票指示有重複時,以最先送達者為準,但聲明撤銷先前投票指示者,不在此限。股東依前開規定以書面投票或電子方式行使其於股東會之表決權時,視為委託會議主席為其代理人,於股東會上依其書面或電子文件指示之方式行使表決權。會議主席基於代理人之地位,就書面或電子文件中未提及或未載明之事項、及/或該股東會上所提出對原議案之修正,皆無權行使該股東之表決權。為釐清疑義,該股東以該等方式行使表決權,即應視為其就該次股東會中所提之臨時動議及/或原議案之修正,業已放棄表決權之行使。
25.5 倘股東擬以書面或電子方式行使表決權並已依本章程第 25.4 條之規定向公司送達其投票指示後,欲親自出席股東會者,至遲應於股東會開會前二日,以與先前依本章程第 25.4 條送達之投票指示之相同送達方式(如快遞、掛號郵件或電子方式,依實際情形而定),另向公司送達其欲撤銷先前投票指示之個別通知。倘股東逾期撤銷其投票決定者,以書面或電子方式行使之表決權為準。
25.6 股東為以書面或電子方式行使表決權,而已依本章程第 25.4 條之規定向公司送達其投票指示者,有權依本章程規定另行指定他人代理其出席該次股東會。於此情形,該代理人就表決權之行使應視為撤銷該股東先前送達公司之投票指示,公司應僅計算該受明示指定之代理人所行使之表決權。
26 代理
26.1 委託書應以董事會同意之格式為之,並載明僅為特定股東會使用。委託書之格式應至少包含下列資訊:(a) 填表須知,(b) 股東委託行使事項,及(c) 相關股東、代理人及委託書徵求人(若有)之個人基本資料。委託書表格應連同該次會議之相關通知,一併提供予股東,且該等通知及委託書文件亦應於同日發送予
75
所有股東。
