As of December 31, 2023, the distributable earnings were totaled NT$138,212,742; after the legal reserve set aside was deducted, and the special earning reserve was reversed, there were earnings of NT$124,604,830.

Fractions that do not amount to a full NT$1 shall be added up and further addressed by the Chairman upon authorization.
- For each share, share dividends are distributed as NT$0.3 per share, for total 4,517,332 shares. The amount of dividends to shareholders is calculated up to NT$1 (unconditionally truncated if below NT$1).

-
II. The details of this capitalization are as follows:
-
The capitalization of the earnings will be transferred from the original shareholders to approximately 30 shares for every thousand shares held by the shareholders as recorded in the shareholder register on the record date of ex-rights and distribution.
-
The shareholders shall, within 5 days upon the last day for share transfer registration, combine the distributed fractional shares that are less than one whole share. Where the combined fractions still fail to form a full share or the combination is not made within the said period, the shares shall be converted into cash according to the par value and calculated (and truncated) to the nearest NT$1, and the Chairman shall be later authorized to contact specific persons to subscribe according to the par value.

Appendix 1 Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. 2023 Business Report
The 2023 consolidated net operating revenue was NT$752,370 thousand, an increase of NT$470,850 thousand from the NT$281,520 in 2022. The main reasons include the TPC tenders of equipment such as pad-mounted transformers, and the incomes from sales of solar energy and constructions by subsidiaries. The gross profit was NT$158,080 thousand, an increase of NT$38,358 thousand from last year, but the gross profit margin (21%) was lower than last year (43%), because some of the operating revenues in 2022 was recognized with the net amount of gross profit, and with the insignificant revenue amount in 2022, the gross profit margin was higher. The operating profit was NT$94,502 thousand, an increase of NT$19,510 thousand from 2022, and the net profit before tax was NT$154,307 thousand, an increase of NT$98,048 thousand from 2022.

Last year (FY2023), operating expenses were NT$63,531 thousand in sales, management and research and development, an increase of NT$18,801 thousand over the same period in FY2022. Nonoperating income and expenses were NT$59,805 thousand, mainly due to a gain of NT$76,939 thousand at the fair value of marketable securities and interest expenses.
In 2023 and this year, the Electrical Machinery Business Group not only strived to secure tenders of pad-mounted transformers from TPC and the production and delivery of transformers, the new 23kV GIS has also passed the finalization of TPC, which will contribute to future revenue. In addition, the researches and developments of new material and specifications for pad-mounted transformers and highvoltage CT and PT products are in progress, as well as the relevant certification procedures of TPC, TAF, and the Bureau of Energy. Other than the in-house construction projects secured by subsidiaries to be completed, the Energy Business Group will continue to make continuous efforts in the two major business directions, namely the investment in self-built solar energy power plants and contracted construction (EPC).
Under the principle of steady operation, in addition to participating in major public construction projects and contracting projects, the Company also responds to market and customer needs by investing in construction companies, actively exploring new customers, new project sources, and researching and developing new products, to increase the Company's revenue and profit, improve business performance, and increase shareholders' equity.
We wish you good health and safety.

Appendix II Auditor’s Report LUXE GREEN ENERGY TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.: Audit Opinions
We have duly audited the parent company only accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (originally: Luxe Electric Co., Ltd) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, as well as the accompanying parent company only statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2023 and 2022, and provided the related notes to the parent company only financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies).
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial statements of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2023 and 2022 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis of audit opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the prevailing Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under such standards are further described in the “CPA’s responsibility for the audit of financial statements” section in this report. We are independent of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and our conduct our affairs is in accordance with the Norms of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants and fulfilled all other responsibilities thereunder. We believe that we have acquired sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to base our audit opinions.
Key audit matters
A key audit matter is one that, in our professional judgment, is most significant in relation to our audit of the parent company only financial statements of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd for FY2023. Such matters were addressed during the overall audit of the parent company only financial statements and the process of forming the audit opinions, and thus we did not provide opinions separately towards such matters.
The following is a summary of the key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd in FY2023:
Construction contracts
As stated in Notes 4(13) and 6(18) to the parent company only financial statements, the Company's construction revenue for FY2023 amounted to NT$19,994 thousand, which accounted for 4% of the total net operating revenue and had a significant impact on the parent company only financial statements. The construction revenue of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is recognized through the cost input ratio of project cost, based on the gradual satisfaction of performance obligations over time. In view of the fact that the estimated total cost of uncompleted construction projects and the construction cost invested will impact the accuracy of the recognition of construction revenue, we have included the area in the key audit matters of the year.
The major audit procedures we conducted for this key audit matter include:
-
I. Understanding and examining the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system related to the estimated total construction cost and the recognition of relevant construction revenue.
-
II. Sampling the construction project progress schedule, construction contracts and construction cost invested in the current period, and re-calculating the percentage of the completed construction, in order to verify the accuracy of the recognition of construction revenue.
-
-
Long term project payment receivables involving any unsettled litigation As disclosed in Notes 5, 6(11) and 9(3) to the parent company only financial statements, as of
-
December 31, 2023, the long-term project receivables of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd
amounted to NT$207,991 thousand (net of allowance for losses of NT$178,575 thousand and estimated late penalties). Because of the uncertain outcome of pending litigation, the recoverable amount of the long-term project receivables involves management's assumptions about the final judgment of the court. Accordingly, we have considered the above long-term receivables as a key audit matter.
The major audit procedures we conducted for this key audit matter include:
-
I. Review the recent verdict documents of the litigation and obtaining the legal confirmation of the appointed lawyer of the litigation to evaluate the reasonableness of the management’s assumption.
-
II. Evaluate the completeness of the disclosure of this lawsuit by Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd.
Responsibility of the management and governance unit for the parent company only financial statements
The management was responsible for preparation of the parent company only financial statements with fair presentation in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and maintaining the necessary internal control related to the preparation of the parent company only financial statements to ensure that the parent company only financial statements were free of material misstatements due to fraud or errors.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management's responsibility also includes evaluating the ability of Luxe Green Energy Technology, Co., Ltd. to continue as a going concern, the related disclosures, and the basis of accounting for going concern, unless management intends to liquidate Luxe Green Energy Technology, Co., Ltd. or to cease operations, or there is no practical alternative to liquidation or cessation of operations.
The governance unit (including the Audit Committee) of Luxe Green Energy Technology, Co., Ltd. assumes the responsibility of overseeing the financial reporting process.
CPA’s responsibility for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
We audited the parent company only financial statements for the purpose of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements were free of material misstatements due to fraud or errors and issuing an audit report. However, an audit performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards does not provide assurance that material misstatements in parent company only financial statements can be detected. The misstatements might be due to fraud or errors. If an individual or total amount misstated was reasonably expected to have an impact on the economic decision-making of users of the parent company only financial statements, the misstatements were deemed as material.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and applied our professional judgment and professional skepticism. We also performed the following works:
-
I. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; design and implement appropriate policy responses to those risks; and obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to form the basis of an opinion. Since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, omission on purpose, fraudulent statements or violation of internal control, we did not find that the risk of misstatements due to fraud was higher than the same due to errors.
-
II. We obtained an understanding of the internal control relevant to our 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 Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd.
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used by management and the
-
reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
IV. Based on the evidence obtained, we have reached a conclusion as to the appropriateness of management's adoption of the going concern basis of accounting and whether there is any material uncertainty about events or circumstances that may cast significant doubt about the ability of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. to continue as a going concern. If any material uncertainty was deemed to exist in such event or circumstance, we must provide a reminder in the parent company only financial statements for the users to pay attention to relevant disclosure therein, or amend our audit opinions when such disclosure was inappropriate. Our conclusion was drawn based on the audit evidence acquired as of the date of this audit report. However, future events or circumstances might result in a situation where Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. would no longer have the ability to function as a going concern.
-
V. We evaluated the overall presentation, structure and contents of the parent company only financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements presented relevant transactions and events fairly.
-
VI. We acquired sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with respect to the parent company only financial information of the entities comprising Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. to provide opinions regarding the parent company only financial statements. We were responsible for instruction, supervision and implementation of the audit cases, as well as formation of the audit opinions on Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd.
-
The matters for which we communicated with the governance unit include the planned audit
-
scope and time, and major audit findings (including the significant deficiencies of internal control identified during the audit.)
We also provided a declaration of independence to the governance unit, which assured that we complied with the requirements related to independence in the Norms of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and communicated all relationships and other matters (including relevant protective measures), which we considered to be likely to cause an impact on the independence of CPAs, to the governance unit.
We determined the key audit matters to be audited in the FY2023 parent company only financial statements of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. based on the matters communicated with the governance unit. Unless public disclosure of certain matters was prohibited by related laws or regulations or if, in very exceptional circumstances, we determined not to cover such matters in the audit report, as we could reasonably expect that the negative impact of the coverage was greater than the public interest brought thereby, we specified such matters in the audit report.

Auditor’s ReportLUXE GREEN ENERGY TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.:
Audit opinions
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flow for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2023 and 2022, and provided the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies).
In our opinion, the said consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, interpretations and the statements of interpretation approved and released by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and thus presented fairly in all material aspects, the consolidated financial position of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the period from January 1 to December 31, 2023 and 2022. Basis of audit opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the prevailing Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under such standards are further described in the “CPA’s responsibility for the audit of the consolidated financial statements” section in this report. We are independent of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norms of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants and fulfilled all other responsibilities thereunder. We believe that we have acquired sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to base our audit opinions.
Other matters
For the parent company only financial statements prepared by Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. in FY2023 and FY2022, we had an independent auditors’ report issued with unqualified opinions for reference.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters is one that, in our professional judgment, is most significant in relation to our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2023. Such matters were addressed during the overall audit of the consolidated financial statements and the process of forming the audit opinions, and thus we did not provide opinions separately regarding such matters.
The following is a summary of the key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries in FY2023: Construction contracts
As stated in Notes 4(13) and 6(20) to the consolidated financial statements, Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries' project revenue for FY2023 amounted to NT$122,773 thousand, which accounted for 16% of the total net operating revenue and had a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. The project revenue of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries is recognized through the cost input ratio of project cost, based on the gradual satisfaction of performance obligations over time. In view of the fact that the estimated total cost of uncompleted construction projects and the construction cost invested will impact the accuracy of the recognition of construction revenue, we have included the area in the key audit matters of the year.
The major audit procedures we conducted for this key audit matter include:
-
I. Understanding and examining the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system related to the estimated total construction cost and the recognition of relevant construction revenue.
-
II. Sampling the construction project progress schedule, construction contracts and construction cost invested in the current period, and re-calculating the percentage of the completed construction, in order to verify the accuracy of the recognition of construction revenue.
-
Long term project payment receivables involving any unsettled litigation
As disclosed in Notes 5 and 6(13) to the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2023, the long-term project receivables of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries amounted to NT$207,991 thousand (net of allowance for losses of NT$178,575 thousand and estimated late penalties). Because of the uncertain outcome of the pending litigation, the recoverable amount of the long-term project receivables involves management's assumptions about the final judgment of the court. Accordingly, we have considered the above long-term receivables as a key audit matter.
The major audit procedures we conducted for this key audit matter include:
- I. Review the recent verdict documents of the litigation and obtaining the legal confirmation of the appointed lawyer of the litigation to evaluate the reasonableness of the management’s
assumption.
- II. Evaluating the completeness of the disclosure of this lawsuit by Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
Responsibility of the management and governance unit for the consolidated financial statements
The management was responsible for preparation of the consolidated financial statements with fair presentation in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, interpretations and the statements of interpretation approved and released by the Financial Supervisory Commission and maintaining the necessary internal control related to preparation of the consolidated financial statements to ensure that the consolidated financial statements were free of material misstatement due to fraud or errors.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management's responsibility also includes evaluating the ability of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries to continue as a going concern, the related disclosures, and the basis of accounting for going concern, unless management intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or there is no practical alternative to liquidation or cessation of operations.
The governance unit (including the Audit Committee) of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries assumes the responsibility of overseeing the financial reporting process.
CPA’s responsibility for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
We audited the consolidated financial statements for the purpose of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements were free of material misstatement due to fraud or errors and issuing an audit report. However, an audit performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards does not provide assurance that material misstatements in consolidated financial statements can be detected. The misstatements might be due to fraud or errors. If an individual or total amount misstated was reasonably expected to have an impact on the economic decision-making of users of the consolidated financial statements, the misstatements were deemed material.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and applied our professional judgment and professional skepticism. We also performed the following works:
-
I. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; design and implement appropriate policy responses to those risks; and obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to form the basis of an opinion. Since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, omission on purpose, fraudulent statements or violation of internal control, we did not find that the risk of misstatements due to fraud was higher than the same due to errors.
-
II. We obtained an understanding of the internal control relevant to our 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 Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used by management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
IV. Based on the evidence obtained, we have reached a conclusion as to the appropriateness of management's adoption of the going concern basis of accounting and whether there is any material uncertainty about events or circumstances that may cast significant doubt about the ability of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries to continue as a
going concern. If any material uncertainty was deemed to exist in such event or circumstance, we must provide a reminder in the consolidated financial statements for the users to pay attention to the relevant disclosure therein, or amend our audit opinions when such disclosure was inappropriate. Our conclusion was drawn based on the audit evidence acquired as of the date of this audit report. However, future events or circumstances might result in a situation where Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries would no longer have its ability to function as a going concern.
-
V. We evaluated the overall presentation, structure, and contents of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the consolidated financial statements presented relevant transactions and events fairly.
-
VI. We acquired sufficient and appropriate audit evidence with respect to the entities comprising Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries to provide opinions regarding the consolidated financial statements. We were responsible for instruction, supervision and implementation of the audit cases, as well as formation of the audit opinions on Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries.
The matters for which we communicated with the governance unit include the planned audit scope and time, and major audit findings (including the significant deficiencies of internal control identified during the audit.)
We also provided a declaration of independence to the governance unit, which assured that we complied with the requirements related to independence in the Norms of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants, and communicated all relationships and other matters (including relevant protective measures), which we considered to be likely to cause an impact on the independence of CPAs, to the governance unit.
We determined the key audit matters to be audited in the FY2023 consolidated financial statements of Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries based on the matters communicated with the governance unit. Unless public disclosure of certain matters was prohibited by related laws or regulations or if, in very exceptional circumstances, we determined not to cover such matters in the audit report, as we could reasonably expect that the negative impact of the coverage was greater than the public interest brought thereby, we specified such matters in the audit report.

Appendix IV
Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Underwriter’s Evaluation Opinion on the Changes to the Follow-on Offering Plan in 2021
President Securities Corporation August 8, 2023
Luxe Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Luxe” or “this Company”) has passed the changes to the follow-on offering plan in 2021 upon the Board of Directors’ resolution on August 8, 2023. As the original lead underwriter, the Company thereby issued the following underwriter’s evaluation opinion in accordance with Article 9 of the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers:
One. Summary of the Underwriter’s Evaluation Opinion
I. The necessity and reasonableness of making changes to the fundraising plan
Luxe raised NT$504,000 thousand from cash capital increase in 2021. For the original plan (the Guangshan project and Anshunliao project, totaling 22.6M) was unable to proceed due to coordination problems between local gentry and local residents. Under the mediation of Tainan City Government, the Anshunliao project (Nan-Shi-Shui-ZongZi-No. 1120570620) and the Guangshan project (Nan-Shi-Shui-Zong-Zi-No. 1120570620) were canceled. Therefore, the Company was in need to find other solar power plants of the same nature to replace the original project (the Guangshan project and the Anshunliao project), in order to maintain the original project objectives. The Company has changed the plan successively, and after this change, the alternative power plants are the schools in Hualien project for 18MW, the Quintain Steel project for 6.7MW, and the service areas for 4.57 MW, for the total capacity of 29.27 MW, which is comparable as a replacement for the capacity of the original power plant, so the Company's change of plan was reasonable.
The proposals to change plans were resolved by the board of directors in the board meeting on October 13, 2021 (adding NT$100,000 thousand to reinvest in Sen-Hsin for the school in Hualien project, and decreased the funds of Guangshan and Anshunliao projects to NT$404,000 thousand), the board meeting on April 22, 2022 (adding NT$70,000 thousand to reinvest in Sen-Hsin for the school in Hualien project, and decreased the funds of Guangshan and Anshunliao projects to NT$334,000 thousand), the board meeting on July 1, 2022 (cancellation of NT$140,000 thousand to Anshunliao project, and the fund was shifted to reinvest Sen-Hsin for the Quintain Steel Power Plant project), plus this change to the plan, where the board meeting on August 8 2023 resolved to reinvest NT$144,000 thousand from the remaining raised fund of NT$194,000 thousand (originally planned for Guangshan project) in Sen-Hsin (for the 4.57MW service area power stations), and repay the bank borrowings for NT$50,000 thousand. Therefore, after several changes, NT$504,000 from the original plan has been reinvsted in Sen-Hsin (for the projects of schools in Hualien, Quintain Steel, and service area), and repaid the bank borrowings. The accumulated changes reached 100% raised funds (more than 20%).
(I) Reinvestment in Sen-Hsin As the current business strategy of Luxe Group aims to increase the construction of power plants to obtain more stable income from sales of power for enhancing the value of the Company, while the original plan (the Guangshan project and the Anshunliao project) was forced to cancel as the fields failed due to coordination problems with local residents, within the extent of fund availability, the Company sought other power plants with similar nature to replace the original plan. On August 8, 2023, the board resolved the change to the plan, and the overall project includes reinvestments to Sen-Hsin for “schools in Hualien of 18MW, rooftop power plant in Quintain Steel of 6.7MW, and service area power stations of 4.57MW,” and repayment to bank borrowings. Each expected benefits are as below:
- Reinvestment to Sen-Hsin for (schools in Hualien, power plant in Quintain Steel, and service area power stations)
After the plan of the Board of Directors is changed, regarding the expected total benefits of the installation project by the invested subsidiary, Sen-Hsin Energy Co., Ltd., with the installed capacity enhanced from 29.27MW, the recognizable revenue from 2023 to 2029 is projected to increase to NT$27,632 thousand, NT$126,356 thousand, NT$146,300 thousand, NT$144,943 thousand, NT$143,600
1
thousand, NT$142,269 thousand, and NT$140,950 thousand in the respective years, while the post-tax net profit will increase to NT$21,506 thousand, NT$21,611 thousand, NT$25,420 thousand, NT$25,201 thousand, NT$25,355 thousand, NT$25,520 thousand and NT$25,692 thousand in the respective years. Compared to the original plan, the changed plan is expected to bring the Group more benefits of operation scale expansion and enhancement of return on equity of shareholders, making the changes to the investment decisions of the plan necessary and reasonable.
(II) Repayment of bank loan
The governmental 2025 renewable energy policy has boosted the domestic demand for solar power plants, wind power generation, and energy storage stations. Luxe Group has also continued to look for solar power plants available to be built to expand the Group's operating scale and increase return to shareholders' equity. To accommodate the capital required for the future operation growth, the funds will be raised instead of borrowed from banks. Other than lowering the dependence on banks, improving long-term stability of capital, enhancing flexibility of fund deployment, and strengthening the financial structure of the Company, it is expected to save NT$358 thousand in 2023 based on the expected repayment of NT$50,000 to the bank borrowings at the interest rate of 2.15%, and NT$1,075 thousand per year afterwards. The change to the plan is necessary and reasonable.
In nutshell, after several changes of plans, with the current one, although the cancellation of Guangshan and Anshunliao projects (total 22.6MW) affected the estimated power generation capacity, but Luxe found other sites as the replacement of the original plan. The funds are changed to reinvest in the 100% owned subsidiary, Sen-Hsin for constructions of power plants (total capacity of 29.27MW); which is enough to compensate the total installed capacity of 22.6MW of Guangshan and Anshunliao projects, and thus the purpose of the original plan for investment remains the same. Additionally, bank borrowings are repaid for the future operation scale growth, so that the Company has more flexible fund deployment, and the risk of short-term fund utilization is lowered. Therefore, the investment decision for the change to the plan is necessary and reasonable.
II. Feasibility of achieving the expected benefits and progress after the changes to the fundraising plan
Upon the resolution of the Company's board meeting on August 8, 2023, this change to the plan was to reinvest in the construction of solar power plants by Sen-Hsin and repayment of bank borrowings. The data of fund utilization plan before and after the changes is compiled as below:

NT$454,000 from the capital increase. Since these power plants are rooftop power plants, it is easier to control the contraction progress. As of the end of July 2023, the schools in Hualien project has been completed and started to sell power; the Quintain Steel project has completed two rooftops among six rooftops. The service area power stations will be completed successively from the later half of 2023 to 2024. Therefore, in Q3 2023, the capital might be injected to the subsidiary Sen-Hsin for the constructions. In general, the fund utilization plan and the expected progress of the changed plan are feasible and thus reasonable.

4. Expected potential benefits
The follow-on offering plan was mainly about the investment in the self construction of solar power plants of the “Solar Power Generation System Project on the Land Area around Anshunliao Detention Pond, etc.” and the “Solar Power Generation System Project in the Environment (Land and Water) around Guangshan Detention Pond, etc.” The solar power facilities to be installed were planned to be of
3
around 18.1MW and 4.5MW, respectively, with the installed capacity totaling around 22.6MW. The construction was scheduled to start in September 2021, the trial run of the parallel operation and meter installation were to be done in August 2022, and the wholesale would start officially in 2023; 1,323 kWh was estimated to be generated per KW of the installed capacity. A year-by-year drop of power generation efficiency of the solar cells by 1.00% was also estimated, which was still stable. If the solar cells were used for 20 years, 1,093~1,323 kWh could be generated per kW-year. The total kWh generated (or total electricity sold) per year by the investment plan was estimated to be 24,729 thousand~29,933 thousand kWh. As the PV wholesale price (ground-mounted) specified in Taipower’s power purchase agreement for renewable energy power generation system was NT$4.0126/kWh, a total of NT$1,040,740 thousand was projected to be invested. The investment in the overall operation of the power plants was likely to produce a net cash inflow (posttax net profit + depreciation − repayment of bank loans) totaling NT$965,703 thousand; the number of years within which the invested funds were to be recovered was around 12.51 years, and the return on investment after 20 years of operation based on the plan was estimated to be 6.33%.

- Expected potential benefits
(1) Reinvestment in the subsidiary, Sen-Hsin
Based on the changes to the fundraising plan, along with the previously changed plans, the funds for the invested subsidiary, Sen-Hsin Energy Co., Ltd., to expand the solar power plant construction project (installed capacity of 29.27MW) in the schools in Hualien, Quintain Steel Power Plant, and service area power station, for total NT$454,000 thousand. These are built by the subsidiary, SenHsin, for its in-house power plant for NT$1,328,946 thousand; among which, the power plants in schools in Hualien are completed, and two roofs of Quintain Steel Power Plant are completed, so there are four roofs are to be completed. It is expected that upon the completion, the operation and power generation will be officially commenced in the later half of 2023, and the overall power plants will be operated up to the end of the term in 2042. The service area power station is expected to be completed in 2024, and the officially commenced for operation and power generationin 2025, up to 2044 when the term expires. For the three projects,
4
during the official operation period, the total net cash inflow (post-tax net profit + depreciation − repayment of bank loans) generated is NT$521,500 thousand. If the time value is not taken into account, the expected number of years within which the invested funds are to be recovered via electricity retailing after the completion of construction is around 11.56 years, with the return on investment of the plan being 6.94%.
(2) Repayment of bank loans
This fund-raising plan was changed to repay NT$50,000 thousand of bank borrowings. In consideration of the increase in capital demand in response to future operational growth, raising funds to replace financing from banks will help reduce the dependence on banks, improve long-term stability of capital, enhance flexibility of fund deployment, and strengthen the financial structure of the Company. It is expected to save NT$358 thousand in 2023 based on the expected repayment of NT$50,000 to the bank borrowings at the interest rate of 2.15%, and NT$1,075 thousand per year afterwards. Therefore the benefit is reasonable.
(III) Reasonableness of the basis of changes
After the previous and the current plan changes, the Company was forced to cancel as the fields failed due to coordination problems with local residents; however, the sought other power plants to replace the original plan. The plan was changed to spend NT$50,000 thousand from the raised funds to repay the bank borrowings to improve the financial structure and save interest, and reinvest NT$454,000 thousand to the 100% owned subsidiary, Sen-Hsin for its construction project of power plants (schools in Hualien of 18MW, rooftop power plant in Quintain Steel of 6.7MW, and service area power stations of 4.57MW), the added installed capacity after the change (18MW+6.7MW+4.57MW=29.27MW in total), which is enough to compensate the total installed capacity of 22.6MW in Guangshan and Anshunliao project. The difference is that the self-built power plants by the parent company became the self-built power plants by the 100% owned subsidiary, Sen-Hsin. The purpose of both are to expand the Group's operating scale and increase return to shareholders' equity, for better flexibility of fund deployment and lower the risk of short-term fund utilization. Therefore the investment decision after changing the plan is necessary and reasonable.
Upon assessment by us, Luxe will use the raised capital of NT$504,000 thousand for the repayment of bank borrowings for NT$50,000 thousand and NT$454,000 thousand to reinvest in the solar power plant built by the subsidiary (service area power stations), Sen-Hsin, after the plan is changed. Which is no different from the original plan to build its own power plant. After this change to the plan, the Company reinvested the 100% owned subsidiary Sen-Hsin for the construction of the schools in Hualien (18MW), power plant in Quintain Steel (6.7MW), and service area power stations (4.57MW). The projects of schools in Hualien and Quintain Steel are expected to completed in 2023 and started to sell power officially. The service area power stations are to be completed in 2024, and started to sell power officially in 2025. The total installation capacity of the three projects 29.27MW, higher than the original planned installation capacity of 22.6MW, and the planned return on investment increased from 6.33% to 6.94%.
In addition, NT$50,000 thousand is to repay bank borrowings. The main consideration is to accommodate the capital required for the future operation growth, the funds will be raised instead of borrowed from banks. Other than lowering the dependence on banks, improving long-term stability of capital, enhancing flexibility of fund deployment, and strengthening the financial structure of the Company, it is expected to save NT$358 thousand in 2023 based on the expected repayment of NT$50,000 to the bank borrowings at the interest rate of 2.15%, and NT$1,075 thousand per year afterwards.
Overall, the increase in total installation capacity to 29.27MW and the repayment of bank borrowings, after the plan is changed, will further bring Luxe
5
Group the benefits of expanding its operation scale, increasing return on shareholders' equity, improving its financial position, and saving interest, as well as better flexibility of fund utilization. Therefore the investment decision after changing the plan is necessary and reasonable.
II. Feasibility of the changed plan, and reasonableness of the expected schedule and potential benefits
-
(I) Feasibility of the plan and reasonableness of the expected schedule
-
Reinvestment in Sen-Hsin
Luxe's Board of Directors resolved on August 8, 2023 to change this plan. Except that the schools in Hualien project and the Quintain Steel project are feasible as they have been fully executed in the previous changes for the power plant construction, the construction of service area power stations (4.57MW) has been approved for reference by the Bureau of Economic Development, Tainan City Government and the Energy Bureau (Neng-Ji-Zi No. 11200133090) and Taipower's review opinion. After the change to the plan, the total investment in the service area power stations is NT$217,104 thousand, which was funded by fund of NT$144,000 thousand raised this time, and the bank borrowings of NT$73,104 thousand; of which, the bank borrowings only accounted for 33.67%, which was lower than 80% of the highest loanable ratio for the construction of power plants in the industry. Therefore, the project is feasible. The overall total cost of project construction is NT$1,328,946 thousand. The raised funds from the follow-on offering, totaling NT$454,000 thousand, have all been devoted to the power plant construction. NT$874,946 thousand is from banking facility. The financing ratio of the investment plan after the changes is 65.84%, which remains lower than the bank’s limit of 80% of the loan-to-value ratio for solar power plants. The ratio of the bank loans thereof is reasonable. In conclusion, after the change to this capital increase by cash, the subsidiary, Sen-Hsin, has been built the solar power plants on its own; the constructions of the schools in Hualien were completed in 2022 and the power has been sold since 2023 fully. As of June 2023, the two rooftop power plants have been completed in Quintain Steel project (the remaining four are expected to be completed in August 2023), and it is expected that the power sales will be started upon the completion in the second half of the year. The project of service area power stations under the change to plan commenced the construction in the second half of 2023. It is expected to be completed in 2024 and the power is officially sold in 2025. Therefore, in Q3 2023, the capital might be injected to the subsidiary Sen-Hsin for the constructions. In general, the fund utilization plan and the expected progress of the changed plan are reasonable.
- Repayment of bank loan
On August 8, 2023, the Board of Directors of Luxe resolved to change the plan, to repay bank borrowings for NT$50,000 thousand to. The main consideration is to strengthen the Company's financial structure and save interest. It is expected to save NT$358 thousand in 2023 based on the expected repayment of NT$50,000 to the bank borrowings at the interest rate of 2.15%, and NT$1,075 thousand per year afterwards. The bank borrowings have no repayment restrictions, so the repayment might by made in Q3 2023, and thus the fund utilization plan and expected progress are reasonable after the change.
In summary, the Group's current change to the plan is to repay bank borrowings and the reinvest in Sen-Hsin (construction of the service area power stations), and both can be executed in the month after the change, so the fund utilization plan and expected progress are reasonable.

Reinvestment in the subsidiary, Sen-Hsin
After the previous and the current plan changes, the fund raised in the original plan (the Guangshan project and the Anshunliao project) for NT$504,000 thousand is changed to use NT$454,000 thousand for reinvesting in the construction projects
6
of schools in Hualien, power plant in Quintain Steel, and service area power stations is expected to build a total capacity of 29.27MW. Based on the current capacity costs per MW of NT$42,000 to NT$47,500 thousand, the total cost of the project is estimated. It was NT$1,328,946 thousand (schools in Hualien for NT$46,000 thousand x 18MW + rooftop power plant in Quintain Steel for NT$42,000 thousand x 6.7MW, and service area power stations for NT$47,500 x 4.57MW). The investment prepared on its own is NT$454,000 thousand, and bank borrowings accounted for 66% of the construction cost for NT$874,946 thousand. The borrowings are to repaid the principal and interest for during 15 years. Upon the completion and acceptance of each field and the consent letter of line combination from TPC, the plants may start the power generation officially and the incomes may be recognized.
The following is a capital budget analysis for the overall plan of the power plant project after the change. To simplify the capital budget analysis, it is assumed that the planned power plants (service area power stations) are to officially generate power and operate since January 2025. The overview of the investment of additional power plants by Sen-Hsin during the first eight years is described as follows:

A. Reasonableness of the operating revenue
The change made to the plan includes three power plants; the school in Hualien project has been completed in Q4 2022 and the power is being sold; the Quintain Steel Power Plant project is expected to be completed in Q3 2023 to sell the power; the service area power station is expected to start the wholesale at the beginning of 2025. It is expected that for each KW installed capacity will generate 1,168kwh/year. It is estimated that the power generating efficiency of solar cells will decrease 0.50% per year, and at the 20th anniversary of use, each KW will generate 1,062 (1,168×(10.50%) 19 terms) kwh. Regarding the total power generation capability of this investment project between 2023 and 2029, 27,455 kwh to 31,081 kwh, based on the solar energy (on-the-ground) feed-in tariff under Taipower’s power purchase contract for renewable energy power generation systems, NT$3.9727/kwh, it is estimated that the recognizable revenues between 2023 and 2029 are NT$127,632 thousand, NT$126,356 thousand, NT$146,300 thousand, NT$144,943 thousand, NT$143,600 thousand, NT$142,269 thousand and NT$140,950 thousand in the respective years, which should be reasonable.

B. Reasonableness of the operating cost and gross profit
The operating cost of the solar power plants include the amortization and depreciation expense as well as the cost of rent (8%~10% of the power generation income at each field), and no further manufacturing cost is required. Thus, upon the completion of all power plants, between 2023 to 2024, the annual amortization is NT$55,592 thousand, and from 2025 and afterwards, the annual amortization is NT$66,447 thousand, the rent cost is NT$12,226 to NT$13,832 thousand, and the operating cost is NT$67,818 thousand to NT$80,280 thousand. The gross margin, on the other hand, is expected to be around 43.40%~46.86%. The operating cost and gross profit estimated are reasonable.
C. Reasonableness of the operating expense and operating income
In terms of the operating expense, the expense for solar power plant installation includes the 4%~5% maintenance rate, 0.2%~0.4% insurance rate, and fixed expense of NT$2,500 thousand for the sites and power generation revenue of 3%~8%. It is expected that for 2023 to 2029, the sum of operational expense, insurance expense and other expense per year is approximately NT$15,025 thousand, NT$14,974 thousand, NT$17,055 thousand, NT$17,453 thousand, NT$17,395 thousand, NT$17,338 thousand and NT$17,281 thousand, respectively. The rates covered in the operating expense of Luxe’s self construction of power plants are reasonable. As for the operating income from 2023 to 2029, it is estimated to be NT$44,789 thousand, NT$43,686 thousand, NT$48,966 thousand, NT$47,340 thousand, NT$46,181 thousand, NT$45,035 thousand and NT$43,899 thousand in the respective years, which should be reasonable.
D. Non-operating income and expense - interest expense
The total cost invested in the self construction of power plants by Sen-Hsin Energy Co., Ltd. in the service area power station is NT$1,328,946 thousand. NT$454,000 thousand is provided through the follow-on offering as supporting funds, accounted 65.84% of the construction costs, and the remaining 34.16% of construction costs are paid with the bank borrowings of NT$874,946 thousand, with the loans subject to a 15-year repayment of principal and interest. The projected interest rate is 2.40%, which is a healthy estimate compared to the mortgage interest rate of 2.17~2.38% for solar power plants according to the bank’s reply to the Group’s inquiry. The expense of bank loan interest during 2023-2029 of the investment plan is thus calculated to be NT$17,907 thousand, NT$16,672 thousand, NT$17,191 thousand, NT$15,840 thousand, NT$14,488 thousand, NT$13,136 thousand and NT$11,784 thousand in the respective years, which should be reasonable.

The pre-tax net profit and post-tax net profit should be reasonable.
F. Reasonableness of the number of years within which the invested funds are to be recovered, and the return on investment
Based on the changes to the plan, regarding the overall project, the funds for the invested subsidiary, Sen-Hsin Energy Co., Ltd., to expand the solar power plant construction project (schools in Hualien, Quintain Steel Power Plant, an service area power stations) is total NT$454,000 thousand.

The repayment to bank borrowings was added by NT$50,000 thousand after the change in the plan. The bank borrowings have no repayment restrictions, so the repayment might by made in Q3 2023. It is expected to save NT$358 thousand in 2023, and NT$1,075 thousand per year afterwards. The benefit is assessed as reasonable.
III. Possibility of withdrawal of funds, expected profit/loss and handling method when the funds have been invested as per the original plan before the application for changes and the plan item is not included in the changed plan
Luxe has not invested funds according to the original plan before applying to the change, nor the projects were listed the projects after the change. The capital increase in cash was completed on September 1, 2021, and the original plan was to raise funds of NT$504,000 thousand to build power plants on its own (Guangshan and Anshunliao projects); however, both projects were canceled as no agreement was achieved after coordination with local residents. After previous changes and this change, other power plants are found as the replacement. The originally planned Guangshan and Anshunliao projects were not invested before any change resolved by the board of directors, so the circumstance does not exist.
IV. Status of unused funds if the funds have not been invested as per the original plan before the application for changes, and the reasonableness thereof
10
Luxe made this change to its original plan of the Guangshan Project, because the coordination with the local gentry and residents was not smooth. The original project (including before each change), no capital increased for plan implementation was invested and such funds were deposited in banks, not used otherwise or pledged. The cash capital is only used after the board changes the plan, so the utilization of the undrawn fund is reasonable.
V. In the event of any adjustments to the funds required for individual plan items, the fundraising method if the total amount of the fundraising plan is thus increased, or the status of unused funds and the reasonableness thereof if the total amount of the fundraising plan is thus decreased
The total amount of funds required for the original plan was NT$1,040,740 thousand; the sources of funds included NT$504,000 thousand from follow-on offering and NT$536,740 thousand from bank loans. After the plan was changed, NT$50,000 thousand will be repaid for the bank borrowings, and NT$1,328,946 thousand will be reinvested in Sen-Hsin to build power plants. The sources of funds have been changed to NT$504,000 thousand from the funds raised, and NT$874,946 thousand from the bank. The financing ratios of the investment plan after the changes are respectively 65.84%, lower than the bank’s limit of 80% of the loan-to-value ratio for solar power plants or limit of 70% of the loan-to-value ratio for the industry. The ratio of the bank loans is reasonable and adequate to support the plan items. There is no lack of funds.
VI. Impact of the changes on shareholders’ equity:
The plan of the fund-raising was changed to reinvest NT$454,000 thousand in the subsidiary, Sen-Hsin, for the construction of self-built power plant and repay the bank borrowings of NT$50,000 thousand. In addition to repaying bank borrowings, enabling the Company to strengthen the financial structure and save interest. The reinvested subsidiary, Sen-Hsin built the power plants on its own (schools in Hualien, power plant in Quintain Steel, and service area power stations). For each previous changes, the school in Hualien project has been completed and the power is being sold; the Quintain Steel Power Plant project has completed two rooftops, and the other four are expected to be completed in Q3 2023 to sell the power; the service area power stations are expected to start the wholesale at the beginning of 2025. After the plan is changed, the total installation capacity of the three projects 29.27MW, better than the original planned installation capacity of 22.6MW, and the planned return on investment increased from 6.33% to 6.94%, enabling Luxe Group to expand the Group's operating scale and increase return to shareholders' equity. This is positive to the shareholders’ equity, and shall be reasonable.
According to our evaluation, Luxe changes its plan to repay the bank borrowings and reinvest in Sen-Hsin to build power plants, which bring benefits including strengthening the financial structure, saving interest, expanding the scale of reinvestment, and increasing return on shareholders’ equity for the Group; Comparing the power plants built by the re-invested Sen-Hsin and the investment in solar power plants as originally planned, essentially the ultimate purpose of earning incomes from selling power via building solar power plants has not been changed. With the construction schedule of the solar power plants and the fund dispatch taken into account, the raised funds have been adjusted to be utilized in a more effective manner; the overall changed plan is considered reasonable. Further, the total amount of raised funds has been verified to be consistent with the demand for funds and the schedule in the changed plan. The utilization plan and expected utilization schedule of the funds should be reasonable.

| residual balance, it shall be, together with the undistributed earnings carried from previous years, used as | ||
| dividends for shareholders. The Board of Directors shall draft an earnings distribution proposal and submit | ||
| it to the shareholders’ meeting for approval. | ||
| The Company's dividend policy is based on the current and future development plans, consideration of | ||
| investment environment, capital requirements and domestic and international competition, as well as the | ||
| interests of shareholders. The distribution of earnings for shareholders' bonuses is subject to changes in | ||
| operating conditions and cash flow adjustments. The amount of shareholders' bonuses shall be set aside | ||
| from accumulated distributable earnings and shall not be less than 15% of the current year's distributable | ||
| earnings, of which cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of the total dividends. | ||

| Prior to the date for issuance of notice of a shareholders’ meeting, the Company shall | ||
| inform the shareholders who submitted proposals of the proposal screening results, and | ||
| shall list the proposals that conform to the provisions of this article in the meeting notice. | ||
| At the shareholders’ meeting, the Board of Directors shall explain the reasons for exclusion | ||
| of any shareholder proposals not included in the agenda. | ||
| Article | 4 | For each shareholders’ meeting, a shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting by |
| providing the proxy form issued by the Company and stating the authorization scope for the | ||
| proxy. | ||
| A shareholder may issue only one proxy form and appoint only one proxy for any given | ||
| shareholders’ meeting, and shall deliver the proxy form to the Company 5 days before the | ||
| date of the shareholders’ meeting. When duplicate proxy forms are delivered, the one | ||
| received earliest shall prevail, unless a declaration is made to revoke the previous proxy | ||
| appointment. | ||
| 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 revocation shall be submitted to the Company 2 business days | ||
| before the meeting date. If the revocation notice is submitted after that time, votes cast at | ||
| the meeting by the proxy shall prevail. | ||
| Article | 5 | (Principles determining the time and venue of a shareholders’ meeting) |
| 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 shall | ||
| begin no earlier than 9 a.m. and no later than 3 p.m. Full consideration shall be given to the | ||
| opinions of the independent directors with respect to the venue and time of the meeting. | ||
| Article | 6 | (Preparation of documents such as the attendance book) |
| The Company shall specify in the notice of a shareholders’ meeting the time during which | ||
| shareholder attendance registrations will be accepted, the place to register for attendance, | ||
| and other matters for attention. | ||
| The time during which shareholder attendance registrations will be accepted, as stated in | ||
| the preceding paragraph, shall be at least 30 minutes prior to the time the meeting | ||
| commences. The place at which attendance registrations are accepted shall be clearly | ||
| marked and a sufficient number of suitable personnel shall be assigned to handle the | ||
| registrations. | ||
| Shareholders and their proxies (hereinafter collectively referred to as “shareholders”) shall | ||
| attend shareholders’ meetings with their attendance cards, sign-in cards, or other certificates | ||
| of attendance. The Company shall not arbitrarily add requirements for other documents | ||
| beyond those showing eligibility for attendance by shareholders. Solicitors soliciting proxy | ||
| forms shall also bring their identification documents for verification. | ||
| The Company shall furnish the attending shareholders with an attendance book to sign, or | ||
| the attending shareholders may hand in a sign-in card in lieu of signing in. | ||
| The Company shall furnish attending shareholders with the meeting agenda handbook, | ||
| annual report, attendance card, speaker’s slips, voting slips and other meeting materials. If | ||
| there is an election of directors or supervisors, pre-printed ballots shall also be furnished. | ||
| When the government or a juristic person is a shareholder, it may be represented by more | ||
| than one representative at a shareholders’ meeting. When a juristic person is appointed to | ||
| attend the shareholders’ meeting as a proxy, it may designate only one person to represent it | ||
| in the meeting. | ||
| Article | 7 | (The chair and non-voting participants of a shareholders’ meeting) |
| 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 is also |
| 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 the chair, or, if there are no | ||
| managing directors, one of the directors shall be appointed to act as the 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 the chair. | ||
| When a managing director or a director serves as the 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 the chair. | ||
| It is advisable that the shareholders’ meetings convened by the Board of Directors be | ||
| chaired by the chairperson of the Board in person, and attended by a majority of the | ||
| directors, at least one supervisor in person, and at least one member of each functional | ||
| committee on behalf of the committee. The attendance shall be recorded in the meeting | ||
| minutes. | ||
| If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by a party with power to convene but other than the | ||
| Board of Directors, the convening party shall chair the meeting. When there are two or | ||
| more such convening parties, they shall mutually select a chair from among themselves. | ||
| The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or other related | ||
| persons retained by it to attend a shareholders’ meeting in a non-voting capacity. | ||
| Article | 8 | (Documentation of a shareholders’ meeting by audio or video) |
| 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. | ||
| Article | 9 | Attendance at shareholders’ meetings shall be calculated based on the numbers of shares. |
| The number of shares represented by the shareholders present at the meeting shall be | ||
| calculated based on the attendance book or the submitted sign-in cards, added with the | ||
| number of shares with voting rights that are exercised in writing or by electronic means. | ||
| The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. 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. | ||
| 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 the issued | ||
| shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to Paragraph 1, Article 175 of the | ||
| Company Act; all the shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another | ||
| shareholders’ meeting shall be convened within one month. | ||
| If the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares | ||
| before the end of the meeting, the chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote at | ||
| 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. 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. 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 | (Shareholders speech) |
| Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker’s slip the subject of | ||
| the speech, his/her/their 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 a shareholder speaks in | ||
| contravention of the rules or beyond the scope of the subject, the chair may terminate | ||
| his/her/their speech. | ||
| When an attending shareholder is speaking, the other shareholders may not speak or | ||
| interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder | ||
| having the floor. Any unrestrained action shall be discouraged by the chair. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Article | 12 | Votes at shareholders’ meetings shall be calculated based on the numbers of shares. |
| With respect to a resolution at a shareholders’ meeting, 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, the | ||
| shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as a 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 a proxy by | ||
| two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3% | ||
| 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. | ||
| Article | 13 | 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 Paragraph 2, Article 179 of the | ||
| Company Act. | ||
| When the Company holds a shareholders’ 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/their rights with respect to the extraordinary motions | ||
| and amendments to original proposals of that meeting. Therefore, it is advisable that the | ||
| Company avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and of 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 2 | ||
| 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, 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, 2 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 the 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 along 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 recorded. Article 14 (Election of directors and supervisors) 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. 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 recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation. 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 shall be distributed to each shareholder within 20 days after the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting minutes may be prepared 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 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). They shall also 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. 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 place of the shareholders’ meeting. If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders’ meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (or Taipei Exchange Market) regulations, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period. Article 17 (Maintaining order at the meeting place) Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders’ meeting shall wear identification cards or arm bands.
The chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to help maintain order at the
meeting place. When the proctors or the security personnel help maintain order at the meeting place, they shall wear identification cards or armbands bearing the word “Proctor.” At the place of a shareholders’ meeting where loudspeakers are equipped, if a shareholder speaks through any device other than the public address equipment set up by the Company, the chair may stop his/her/their speech.
When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chair’s correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.
- Article 18 (Recess and resumption of a shareholders’ meeting) 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.
