LETTER FROM THE BOARD

B. ADOPTION OF THE SYNCMOS SHARE OPTION SCHEME

SyncMOS is an indirect non-wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, SyncMOS was owned as to approximately 55% by the Group. SyncMOS is a company with limited liability incorporated in Taiwan on 20 July 2001 and is principally engaged in the wholesale of electronic materials and components and the provision of industrial and commercial services (including research and development of electronic materials and components) and products design. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no share option scheme has ever been adopted by SyncMOS, which remains effective. The Board proposes that the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme, which will comply in full with the requirements under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, be approved by the Company and adopted by SyncMOS in the SGM.

Reasons for adoption of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme

The Board has long recognised that qualified and skilled persons are in demand and invaluable to the growth and development of the Group’s business. The Board believes that it is in line with modern commercial practice that the Eligible Employees of SyncMOS be given incentives, in the form of options to subscribe for the SyncMOS Shares, to work towards enhancing the value of SyncMOS and for the benefit of SyncMOS and the Group as a whole. The Board also believes that the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme will provide an effective means to provide incentives or rewards to Eligible Employees for their contribution to SyncMOS and/or to enable SyncMOS to recruit and retain high-calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to SyncMOS.

The Directors are of the view that the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme will serve the motivation and reward purposes as the SyncMOS Board would be able to devise incentive programs for Eligible Employees taking into account their past and expected contribution to the development and growth of SyncMOS.

Under the rules of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme, the SyncMOS Board may during the valid and effective period of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme make an offer of any Option to an Eligible Employee (being a full-time employee of SyncMOS (including any executive and non-executive SyncMOS Directors) for the time being who has joined SyncMOS on or before 31 December 2006) as the SyncMOS Board may in its absolute discretion select, and subject to such conditions as it may think fit. All Options shall be Unvested Options upon grant and, subject to a Grantee continuing to be an Eligible Employee, 50% of such Options shall vest and become Vested Options upon the expiry of the period of 12 months after the Offer Date; and the balance 50% of such Options shall vest and become Vested Options upon the expiry of the period of 24 months after the Offer Date. Subject to vesting of an Option, the SyncMOS Board may in its absolute discretion determine the Option Period in respect of an Option and also has discretion to determine other restrictions before exercise of the subscription right attaching to an Option, provided that the Option Period shall end no later than 31

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

December 2009. The initial Subscription Price (subject to adjustment as more particularly detailed in paragraphs (h) and (q) of the Appendix) is NT$10.00 per SyncMOS Share. The Directors believe that such discretion of the SyncMOS Board can provide incentive to the Eligible Employees to use their best endeavours in assisting the growth and development of SyncMOS.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group is interested in 17,600,000 SyncMOS Shares, representing approximately 55% of the total issued share capital of SyncMOS. Under the rules of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme, the maximum number of SyncMOS Shares that may be allotted and issued upon exercise of all Options that may be granted under the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme shall be 3,000,000 SyncMOS Shares (subject to adjustment as more particularly detailed in paragraph (q) of the Appendix), representing approximately 9.375% of the total issued share capital of SyncMOS as at the Latest Practicable Date. In the event of exercise in full of the Options that may be initially granted under the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme (being Options in respect of 3,000,000 SyncMOS Shares and assuming there is no other change to the shareholding structure of SyncMOS after the Latest Practicable Date), the interest of the Group in SyncMOS will be diluted to approximately 50.29%.

According to the requirements of the Listing Rules, the maximum number of SyncMOS Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of SyncMOS must not exceed 30% of the total number of SyncMOS Shares in issue from time to time. No options may be granted under the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of SyncMOS if this will result in the aforesaid limit being exceeded.

A resolution was passed by the SyncMOS Board and the SyncMOS Shareholders on 26 September 2006 and 26 October 2006 respectively to approve the adoption of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme by SyncMOS.

A summary of the principal terms of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme are set out in the Appendix to this circular.

The SyncMOS Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:

  • (i) passing of the ordinary resolution by the Shareholders approving its adoption at the SGM; and

  • (ii) all necessary consents, confirmations, approvals and authorisations having been obtained from, and all necessary filings and registrations having been performed with, all applicable governmental, regulatory and other authorities, agencies and departments in Taiwan in relation to the adoption of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If the above conditions are not satisfied on or before 31 December 2006 (or such later date as may be determined by the SyncMOS Board), the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme shall forthwith determine and no person shall be entitled to any rights or benefits or be under any obligations under or in respect of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme.

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SYNCMOS SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX

  • (bb) For so long as SyncMOS remains a Subsidiary of the Company, where any proposed grant of Options to any Eligible Employee who is for the time being a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive director of the Company, or any of his Associates, would result in the SyncMOS Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all options already granted and to be granted (including options exercised, cancelled and outstanding) to such person in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant:

  • (i) representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the SyncMOS Shares in issue; and

For so long as SyncMOS remains a Subsidiary of the Company, the Shareholders’ approval as required under this paragraph (e)(bb) is also required for any change in the terms of Options granted to an Eligible Employee who is for the time being a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive director of the Company, or any of his Associates.

Each such notice must be accompanied by a remittance for the full amount of the Subscription Price for the SyncMOS Shares in respect of which the notice is given. SyncMOS will apply to the relevant governmental and regulatory authorities for consents and permits for the allotment and issue of the relevant SyncMOS Shares in or about December of the year in which the Vested Option is exercised (or such other time as the SyncMOS Board may in its absolute discretion determine) and the relevant SyncMOS Shares will only be allotted and issued upon SyncMOS having obtained all such consents and permits. For the avoidance of doubt, SyncMOS shall have no obligation to proceed with the application for such consents and permits after receipt of the notice and the remittance or soon thereafter. The exercise of any Option shall be subject to SyncMOS having obtained all consents and permits of the relevant governmental and regulatory authorities for the allotment and issue of the relevant SyncMOS Shares in accordance with this paragraph.

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SYNCMOS SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX

(I) RANKING OF SYNCMOS SHARES

The SyncMOS Shares to be allotted upon the exercise of a Vested Option will be subject to all the provisions of the bye-laws of SyncMOS and the Companies Law for the time being in force and will rank pari passu in all respects with the fully paid SyncMOS Shares in issue as from the day when the name of the Grantee is registered on the register of members of SyncMOS and accordingly will entitle the holders to participate in all dividends or other distributions to be paid or made on or after the date when the name of the Grantee is registered on the register of members of SyncMOS other than any dividend or other distribution previously declared or recommended or resolved to be paid or made with respect to a record date which shall be before the date when the name of the Grantee is registered on the register of members of SyncMOS. (For the avoidance of doubt, the Grantee of an Exercised Option shall not be entitled to any dividends or other distributions, in connection with the Exercised Option, declared or recommended or resolved to be paid or made with respect to a record date which shall be before the completion of the registration of the Grantee as the holder in respect of the SyncMOS Shares allotted and issued pursuant to such Exercised Option). A SyncMOS Share allotted upon the exercise of a Vested Option or pursuant to an Exercised Option shall not carry any voting right until the completion of the registration of the Grantee as the holder thereof.

(J) RESTRICTIONS ON THE TIME OF GRANT OF OPTIONS

For so long as SyncMOS remains a Subsidiary of the Company, no offer for grant of Options shall be made after a price sensitive development concerning the Group has occurred or a price sensitive matter concerning the Group has been the subject of a decision until such price sensitive information has been announced by the Company in accordance with the Listing Rules. In particular, during the period of one month immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the date of the board meeting of the Company (as such date is first notified to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules) for approval of the Company’s results of any year, half year, quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules); and (ii) the deadline for the Company to publish an announcement of its results for any year or half year under the Listing Rules, or quarterly or any other interim period (whether or not required under the Listing Rules), and ending on the date of the announcement of the results, no Option should be granted. The SyncMOS Board may not grant any Option to an Eligible Employee who is a director of the Company during the periods or times in which they are prohibited from dealing in shares of the Company pursuant to the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Companies prescribed by the Listing Rules or any corresponding code or securities dealing restrictions adopted by the Company.

(K) DURATION AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE SYNCMOS SHARE OPTION SCHEME

  • (aa) Subject to paragraph (s) below, the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme shall be valid and effective for a period of one (1) year commencing from the Effective Date, after which period no further Options will be granted but the provisions of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme shall remain in full force and effect in all other respects. Options which are granted during the duration of and in accordance with the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme and remain unexercised immediately prior to the end of the one-year period shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms of grant and the terms of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme, within the Option Period for which such Options are granted, notwithstanding the expiry of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme.

  • (bb) The SyncMOS Share Option Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the SyncMOS Board whose decision (save as otherwise provided herein) shall be final and binding on all parties. The SyncMOS Board shall have the right, inter alia, to (i) interpret and construe the provisions of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme; (ii) determine the persons who will be offered Options under the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme, and the number of the SyncMOS Shares and the Subscription Price, in relation to such Options, in accordance with the provisions of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme; (iii) subject to paragraph (v) below, make such appropriate and equitable adjustments to the terms of the Options granted under the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme as it deems necessary; and (iv) make such other decisions or determinations as it shall deem appropriate in the administration of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme.

(L) RIGHTS ON CEASING EMPLOYMENT

Unless the SyncMOS Board otherwise determines, an Option (both Unvested and Vested), other than an Exercised Option, shall lapse automatically (to the extent not already exercised) on the date on which the Grantee, being an Eligible Employee at the date of grant, ceases to be an Eligible Employee by any reason whatsoever, other than his or her death.

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SYNCMOS SHARE OPTION SCHEME

APPENDIX

(M) RIGHTS ON DEATH

In the event that the Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Employee by reason of death, the legal personal representative(s) of this Grantee shall be entitled within a period of twelve (12) months (or such longer period as the SyncMOS Board may determine) from the date of death to exercise the Vested Options up to the entitlement of such Grantee as at the date of death in whole or in part (to the extent which has become exercisable and not already exercised). Unless the SyncMOS Board otherwise determines, all Unvested Options as at the date of death shall lapse on such date of death.

(N) RIGHTS ON A GENERAL OFFER

In the event of a general or partial offer, whether by way of take-over offer, share repurchase offer, or scheme of arrangement or otherwise in like manner is made to all the holders of the SyncMOS Shares, (other than the offeror and/or any person controlled by the offeror and/or any person acting in association or concert with the offeror), SyncMOS shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that such offer is extended to all the Grantees on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, and assuming that they will become, by the exercise in full of the Vested Options granted to them, shareholders of SyncMOS. If such offer becomes or is declared unconditional, a Grantee shall be entitled to exercise his or her Vested Option (to the extent which has become exercisable and not already exercised) to its full extent or to the extent specified in the Grantee’s notice to SyncMOS in exercise of his or her Vested Option at any time before the close of such offer (or any revised offer). All Unvested Options shall lapse on the date on which the offer (or any revised offer) closes.

(O) RIGHTS ON WINDING UP

In the event a notice is given by SyncMOS to its members to convene a general meeting for the purposes of considering, and if thought fit, approving a resolution to voluntarily wind-up SyncMOS, SyncMOS shall on the same date as or soon after it despatches such notice to each member of SyncMOS give notice thereof to all Grantees and thereupon, each Grantee (or where permitted, his or her legal personal representative(s)) shall, subject to the provisions of all applicable laws, be entitled to exercise all or any of his Vested Options (to the extent which has become exercisable and not already exercised) at any time not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed general meeting of SyncMOS by giving notice in writing to SyncMOS, accompanied by a remittance for the full amount of the aggregate Subscription Price for the SyncMOS Shares in respect

of which the notice is given whereupon SyncMOS shall use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the SyncMOS Shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to such exercise, subject to the consents and permits of the relevant governmental and regulatory authorities set out in paragraph (f)(cc) above, be entitled to participate in the distribution of assets of SyncMOS available in liquidation.

(P) RIGHTS ON COMPROMISE OR ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN SYNCMOS AND ITS CREDITORS

In the event of a compromise or arrangement between SyncMOS and its creditors (or any class of them) or between SyncMOS and its members (or any class of them), in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction or amalgamation of SyncMOS, SyncMOS shall give notice thereof to all Grantees on the same day as it gives notice of the meeting to its members or creditors to consider such a scheme or arrangement, and thereupon any Grantee (or his or her legal representative(s)) may forthwith and until the expiry of the period commencing with such date and ending with the earlier of the date falling two (2) calendar months thereafter or the date on which such compromise or arrangement is sanctioned by Court be entitled to exercise his or her Vested Option (to the extent which has become exercisable and not already exercised), but the exercise of the Vested Option shall be conditional upon such compromise or arrangement being sanctioned by the Court and becoming effective. SyncMOS may thereafter require such Grantee to transfer or otherwise deal with the SyncMOS Shares issued as a result of such exercise of his or her Vested Option so as to place the Grantee in the same position as nearly as possible as would have been the case had such SyncMOS Shares been subject to such compromise or arrangement.

(Q) ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

In the event of any alteration in the capital structure of SyncMOS, whether by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, rights issue, consolidation, subdivision or reduction (other than an issue of SyncMOS Shares as consideration in respect of a transaction), such corresponding alterations (if any) shall be made in:

  • (aa) the number and/or nominal amount of SyncMOS Shares subject to the Option so far as unexercised; and/or

  • (bb) the Subscription Price; and/or

  • (cc) the maximum number of SyncMOS Shares for which further Options may be granted under the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme from time to time,

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SYNCMOS SHARE OPTION SCHEME

in any manner as the SyncMOS Board ((except in the case of a capitalisation of profits or reserves) having received a confirmation in writing from SyncMOS’s independent financial adviser or the Auditors that in their opinion the adjustments proposed satisfy the requirements of the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules, for so long as SyncMOS remains a Subsidiary of the Company) may deem appropriate, provided that:

  • (i) no such alteration shall be made so that a SyncMOS Share would be issued at less than its nominal value;

  • (ii) any such alteration should give a Grantee the same proportion of the equity capital of SyncMOS as that to which such Grantee was previously entitled had such Grantee exercised all the Options held by him immediately prior to such adjustments;

  • (iii) any such alteration should be made on the basis that the aggregate Subscription Price payable by a Grantee on the full exercise of any Option shall remain as nearly as possible the same (but shall not be greater than) as it was before such event; and

  • (iv) no such adjustment will be required in circumstances where there is an issue of the SyncMOS Shares or other securities of the SyncMOS Group as consideration in a transaction.

(R) CANCELLATION OF OPTIONS

Any Options granted but not exercised may be cancelled if the Grantee agrees in writing. Issuance of new Options to the same Grantee may only be made if there are unissued Options available under the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme (excluding the cancelled Options) and in compliance with the terms of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme and, for so long as SyncMOS remains a Subsidiary of the Company, the Listing Rules, in force from time to time.

(S) TERMINATION OF THE SYNCMOS SHARE OPTION SCHEME

SyncMOS and, for so long as SyncMOS remains a Subsidiary of the Company, the Company, by resolution in general meeting(s), or the SyncMOS Board and, for so long as SyncMOS remains a Subsidiary of the Company, the board of directors of the Company, may at any time terminate the operation of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme and in such event no further Option will be offered but the provisions of the SyncMOS Share Option Scheme shall remain in full force and effect to the extent

(T) RIGHTS ARE PERSONAL TO THE GRANTEE

An Option shall be personal to the Grantee and shall not be transferable or assignable and no Grantee shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage, encumber or create any interest in favour of any third party over or in relation to any Option. Any breach of the foregoing shall entitle SyncMOS to cancel any outstanding Option or part thereof granted to such Grantee.

(U) LAPSE OF OPTION

An Option (both Unvested and Vested), other than an Exercised Option, shall lapse automatically (to the extent not already exercised) on the earliest of:

  • (aa) the expiry of the Option Period;

  • (bb) the expiry of any of the periods referred to in paragraph (m) above;
