[Attachment 1]

Explanation of the private placement of common shares

In order to enrich working capital, repay bank loans, and consider factors such as financing costs, it is planned to conduct private placement of common shares in accordance with Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act:

(一)The limit on the private placement and issuance

  1. The total amount is limited to no more than 30 million shares, with a face value of NT$10 per share, and will be processed in installments within one year from the date of passing the resolution of the shareholders' meeting.

  2. The total amount of private placement depends on the issue price and the actual number of shares issued。

(二)The basis and reasonableness of the private placement pricing:

  1. It shall be the higher of the following two calculations as the reference price :

(1)The simple average closing price of the common shares of the TWSE listed or TPEx listed company for either the 1, 3, or 5 business days before the price determination date, after adjustment for any distribution of stock dividends, cash dividends or capital reduction

(2) The simple average closing price of the common shares of the TWSE listed or TPEx listed company for the 30 business days before the price determination date, after adjustment for any distribution of stock dividends, cash dividends, or capital reduction.

  1. The actual pricing date and issue price of this private placement are proposed to be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for a resolution, and the basis for determining the private placement price is no less than 80% of the above reference price, and the board of directors is authorized to make a decision depending on the situation of the specific person and market conditions in the future.

  2. The pricing method is in accordance with the provisions of the " Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities" and refers to the recent stock trading market price, which should be reasonable

(三)The reason and rationality of the private placement price if it is lower than the par value of the stock:

The closing price of the company in the centralized market in recent years has not exceeded the par value. According to the current laws and regulations and the above pricing method, the price of common shares in this private placement may be lower than the par value. In addition to being transferable in accordance with Article 43-8 of Securities and Exchange Act, there is a restriction on free transfer within three years, so if the actual price of private placement is lower than the face value, it is reasonable. If the accumulated loss increases due to the fact that the actual price is lower than the par value, it will be reported to the future shareholder meeting to discuss whether to reduce capital or make up for the loss in other ways based on the business results.

(四)The method for selecting the specific persons:

  1. Handled in accordance with Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act,and Article 4, Paragraph 2 of Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities .

  2. The company has not yet negotiated an placee.

3.If any placee is a strategic investor

(1) The method and objectives of selecting:Individuals or legal persons will be selected that will help improve the company's profitability, product development, channel development, etc., and then improve business performance;

(2) The necessity and the anticipated benefits:In response to the increasingly obvious trend of competition in the industry and declining birth rate, it is necessary to introduce strategic investors in order to maintain a competitive advantage; the participation of placees is expected to enhance the company's overall competitiveness, strengthen the overall financial structure, and continue the long-term future development .

4.If the placee is an insider or related person of the company, the list of possible placees is as Attachment 2。

(1) The method and objectives of selecting:Insiders or related persons with relevant experience, technology, professional knowledge, etc. will be selected for the purpose of improving internal operational efficiency;

(2) he necessity and the anticipated benefits:The insiders or related parties of the company who know the company's operations can improve the operating performance in the short term, so it is necessary to introduce the company's insiders or related parties. Through their position or business relationship with the company, provide their experience, technology, knowledge, etc., to bring tangible and intangible benefits to the company.

(五)The reasons for the necessity for conducting the private placement

1.The reasons for not using a public offering,is that it is not easy to raise funds in the centralized market and the timetable is long. In addition, the board of directors is authorized to handle in stages, which can also improve mobility and flexibility according to the actual needs of the company;

2.The private placement is expected to be raised three times. The number of shares raised in each batch, the use of funds and the expected benefits are as follows:

batch number of shares raised the use of funds expected benefits
1 10,000,000 All are to enrich working capital, repay bank loans, and invest in strategic development. To strengthen the company's financial structure, create profits, and enhance competitiveness.
2 10,000,000
3 10,000,000

(六)Others

1.If it is expected that the private placement cannot be completed within the time limit, or if there is no plan to continue the private placement within the remaining period after the first or second private placement, it is proposed to submit to the shareholders meeting to authorize the board of directors to make a resolution. The original plan is still feasible , it is deemed to have received the full amount of privately placed securities;

2.According to the Securities and Exchange Act, the common shares of this private placement cannot be freely transferred within three years from the delivery date; after three years of delivery, the company will apply for listing and trading in accordance with relevant regulations. The rights and obligations of the common shares in this private placement are the same as those of the issued common shares of the company;

3.In the future, if there is a need to change due to amendments to laws, opinions from authorities, or changes in market conditions, in addition to the pricing percentage, it is proposed to submit to the shareholders' meeting to authorize the board of directors to make appropriate revisions according to the situation.

(七) The private placement is in accordance with the Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act input into the MOPS the information on the private placement of securities (address:http://mops.twse.com.tw),or Our website (address:http://www.enphants.com/c/index.php)。
