NAN YA PLASTICS CORPORATION

1.2018 Business Report

In 2018, Nan Ya Plastics Corporation (NPC) recorded a consolidated revenue of NT$333.06 billion, an increase of 8.8% over NT$306.14 billion in 2017, and a consolidated pre-tax income of NT$61.53 billion, which declined 2.0% compared with NT$62.78 billion in 2017.

In the first three quarters of 2018, global economic fundamentals were good, while raw material prices rose, driving the revenue growth of various products. Furthermore, NPC's complete industry chain and active development of high-value and differentiated products have also greatly increased our revenue and profit.

However, due to the China-U.S. trade war beginning the fourth quarter of 2018, global economic growth has declined, while oil prices have fallen by 40% from the high point at the beginning of October to the low point at the end of the year. As market demand froze rapidly, customers sat on the fence, dropping sales orders, our overall performance reflected a sharp downturn in the business environment.

Despite the significant change in the fourth quarter of 2018, NPC still managed to post a revenue at a record high, and achieve the third highest net income and earnings per share in our history, thanks to the foundation laid in the previous three quarters.

As far as NPC's scope of business is concerned, there are four major categories of products: plastic processing, petrochemicals, polyester, and electronic materials.

With regard to plastic processing products, NPC continues to engage in transformation due to increasingly mature processing technology in Mainland China and fierce price competition among local peers. Besides, NPC has incorporated automated monitoring to ensure stable quality during production. At the same time, NPC has accelerated the research and development of new applications, new materials, as well as products that meet the trend of environmental protection and unique specifications, in

6

order to expand into new niche markets, thereby increasing the proportion of sales and profit of differentiated and high-value products. NPC deploys our production and marketing operations at various plants in Taiwan, Mainland China, the U.S., and Vietnam in a timely manner according to the characteristics of each market, supplemented with the launch of e-commerce and online marketing, to expand into high-end markets such as the U.S. and Japan, as well as emerging markets with high potential, so as to provide customers with satisfactory services. Through various efforts made by NPC, plastic processing products are still able to provide stable profits.

In regards to petrochemical products, in line with vertical integration and division of labor in the Sixth Naphtha Cracking Plant in Mailiao, NPC's products, including ethylene glycol (EG), Bisehnol A (BPA), 1,4-butylene glycol (1,4BG), plasticizers, phthalic anhydride (PA), 2-ethylhexanol (2EH), and epoxy resin (EPOXY), have been vertically integrated with upstream and downstream industries, thereby forming a complete supply chain, which supports the development of downstream industries such as polyester, electronics, and plastic processing, respectively.

In the first three quarters of 2018, prices and volume of petrochemical products increased considerably due to rising international oil prices and market demand. However, oil prices fell sharply starting October. Besides, the China-U.S. trade war and economic slowdown in China led to a decrease in prices of petrochemical products. Yet, NPC continuously promoted the improvement of various process optimizations, and fully comprehended market developments so as to effectively regulate production, sales, and inventory. Besides, NPC also stepped up efforts to expand into sales regions outside Mainland China in order to actively diversify our target market. By adjusting our production and sales strategies, NPC recorded a higher revenue and profit in 2018 than those in 2017.

In terms of polyester products, their prices and volume increased considerably due to significant increase in market demand and rising raw

7

material costs in 2018, with polyester bottle chips showing the most obvious growth. Among differentiated and high-value products, polyester cotton and silk have achieved better performances. Shortage of passive components among downstream customers led to a considerable increase in demand for polyester release film products, thus demonstrating significant profit growth.

In the future, NPC will actively develop and promote products related to environmental protection, recycling and green energy, and collaborate with well-known brands to expand the application range of polyester products. In addition, NPC will also develop high-value products to segment the market and expand sales territory, while controlling product quality to enhance customers' recognition in order to open up new markets, so that sales will continue to increase, thereby maintaining stable profits.

Regarding electronic materials, various electronic product application devices continued to develop since the fourth quarter of 2016. Rising demand for electronic materials, along with a lag in the expansion of production capacity by manufacturers, has brought about a period of prosperity for this industry. With the gradual resumption of newly expanded production capacity in 2018, tensions in supply and demand began to slow down. In the first half of the year, market demand was stable; however, affected by the China-U.S. trade war in the fourth quarter of 2018, orders and demand for home appliances and other consumer electronics products dropped due to increasing market uncertainty, thus forcing end customers to reduce inventory and response to urgent orders, and make orders conservatively.

In the future, NPC will use our advantage from complete vertical integration involving upstream and downstream industries to accelerate the adjustment of production and sales strategies, as well as transformation in response to market developments. Moreover, NPC will actively launch and promote differentiated products and increase the sales proportion of high-value and highly functional niche products, while striving for full-scale production and sales; flexibly deploying production and sales operations in manufacturing plants located in both Mainland China and Taiwan, thereby driving revenue and profit increase.

Nan Ya Printed Circuit Board Corp., which is reinvested by NPC, has long been focusing on the development and production of circuit boards and IC package substrates. In 2018, it had been committed to product transformation to reduce its reliance on personal computer application products, and had expanded into niche markets such as automobile electronics, network communications and system-in-package, and had been out of the red in the third quarter of 2018. In response to the future development trend of semiconductors, Nan Ya Printed Circuit Board Corp. has actively strengthened its research and development capabilities, while reorganizing the processing procedures and production conditions in the process area, replacing old machines, and incorporating advanced equipment including automated machines, in order to enhance process capability, product yield, and production efficiency, strengthening the operating performance. In the future, the company is expected to strive for more production orders of niche products, and acquire new customers while continuously advancing its production technology, improving yield and reducing costs, so as to improve its operating performance.

Nan Ya Technology Corp., another company reinvested by NPC, is committed to the development, manufacture and sale of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) products. In 2018, it completed the development and sale of 20nm 8Gb DDR4, 4Gb DDR4 and 2Gb DDR3 etc., and reactivated the development of the server product market. In 2019, it plans to introduce a series of low-power products, with a view to enhancing the diversification of product applications and increasing competitiveness. Due to the healthy environment of the overall DRAM industry in 2018, its operating profit continued to rise, thereby generating profit at record high once more. In the future, DRAM is expected to be an indispensable key component in emerging applications, including 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), electric vehicles, and big data. Hence, Nan Ya Technology Corp. will continue to enhance its capabilities, including process technology, product design, and customer service in response to market demand, so as to provide customers with the best memory solutions.

2.2018 Operating Status

The consolidated operating revenue was NT$333.06 billion in 2018, an increase of NT$26.92 billion, 8.8% over NT$306.14 billion in 2017. Deducted operating costs NT$284.00 billion and selling expenses and administrative expenses NT$19.64 billion the operating income was NT$29.42 billion in 2018 which declined 1.4% compared with NT$29.85 billion in 2017. Added up non-operating income and expenses NT$ 32.11billion the pre-tax income of 2018 was NT$61.53 billion and the pre-tax income margin was 18.5% a decrease of 2.0% over NT$62.78 billion in 2017.

3.2019 Business Outlook

Looking forward to 2019, the biggest uncertainty in the global economy is the evolution of the China-U.S. trade war. Given that every link of the global industry chain is tightly connected, international trade tensions will affect all economies in the world and inhibit economic growth momentum. With such a concern in the general environment, international research institutions have revised the global economic growth rate downward.

The introduction of tax reform in the U.S. has significantly boosted the investments of American and foreign companies, which drove economic growth, improved the employment market, increased consumption and capital expenditures, thereby stimulating the economy of other countries. However, its trade tension with China is set to continue. Coupled with the diminishing effects of tax cuts, it is generally expected that economic growth in the U.S. will slow down compared to last year.

With Mainland China experiencing a slowdown in gross domestic product (GDP) growth quarter by quarter last year, reduction of domestic investments and consumption, its economy is currently demonstrating a downward trend, and its industries are currently in the restructuring stage. Furthermore, with the China-U.S. trade war expanding into technology control and other non-economic aspects, the international community

10

widely expects that economic growth will slow down further this year.

In summary, the global economy will continue to be affected by multiple factors, including the China-U.S. trade war, cross-strait relations, and oil price fluctuations. In the face of a complex international scenario, maintaining stable growth and profit continues to be NPC's most important goal.

NPC was able to achieve the expected results for four operational directions launched in 2018. These operational directions include: � Actively expand and segment the market to increase capacity utilization rate; � Enhance research and development, and develop high-value and differentiated products to increase profitability; � Implement circular economy, as well as reduce the use of resources and implement reuse of resources to realize cost-effectiveness; � Comprehensively promote process optimization and Industry 4.0, and incorporate AI to enhance product competitiveness

Changes in the global economy will be more and more difficult to predict in the future, and a complex and ever-changing international environment will affect global economic development. In the face of such an adversity and challenge, NPC adheres to our philosophy of inquiring into the root of the matter and aiming at the sovereign good, while continuously making improvements and pursuing rationalization. NPC will continue to drive the four operational directions above, where process optimization and AI will become the most important themes this year. NPC will use AI to develop the best process operation methods and conditions in order to enhance product quality and production efficiency.

Our ongoing capital expenditure plans include not only improvements in process optimization to increase production capacity and efficiency, but also continuous increase in domestic and overseas investment. Among our ongoing investment plans, domestic plans cover investments in high-value copper foil, polyester films, and PP synthetic paper, whereas overseas investment plans mainly involve the expansion of EG factory in the U.S. and copper foil substrate and fiberglass cloth factories in Mainland China. After going into production, it is estimated that these factories can generate

11

an annual production output of NT$50 billion, which adds new production capacity to NPC, thereby driving continuous performance growth.

  • Article 7: If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the Chairman. When the Chairman is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the Chairman, the Vice Chairman shall act in place of the Chairman; if there is no Vice Chairman or the Vice Chairman also is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the Vice Chairman, the Chairman shall appoint one of the Managing Director to act as chair, or, if there are no Managing Directors, one of the Directors shall be appointed to act as chair. Where the Chairman does not make such a designation, the Managing Directors or the Directors shall select from among themselves one person to serve as chair.

  • When a Managing Director or a Director serves as chair, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the Managing Director or Director shall be one who has held that position for 6 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 chair.

  • It is advisable that shareholders’ meetings convened by the Board of Directors be chaired by the Chairman, that a majority of the Directors attend in person, and that at least one member of each functional committee attend as representative. Attendance details should be recorded in the Shareholders Meeting minutes. If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by a party having the convening right 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 related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders’ meeting in a non-voting capacity.

  • Article 9: Quorum at shareholders’ meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The quorum shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the sign-in cards handed in plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised in writing or by way of electronic transmission.

  • 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 1 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 issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 175 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders’ meeting shall be convened within 1 month.

When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the Chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by 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

118

Directors. 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 having the convening right 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 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 and call for a vote.

  • Article 11: Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her 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 the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the

119

Chair may terminate the speech.

When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the Chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the Chair shall stop any violation.

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: Voting at a shareholders’ meeting shall be calculated based on the number of shares.

With respect to resolutions of shareholders’ meetings, 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, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.

In case a director of the Company has created a pledge on the Company’s shares more than half of the Company’s shares being held by him/her/it at the time he/she/it is elected, the voting power of the excessive portion of shares shall not be exercised.

The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding two paragraphs shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.

With the exception of a trust enterprise or a stock agency approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3 percent of the voting rights represented by the

120

total number of voting shares, otherwise, the portion of excessive voting rights shall not be counted.

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 of Article 179 of the Company Act.

When the Company holds a shareholders’ meeting, it may allow the shareholders to exercise voting rights in writing or by way of electronic transmission. When voting rights are exercised in writing or by way of electronic transmission, the method for exercising the voting rights shall be specified in the shareholders’ meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights in writing or by way of electronic transmission will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting.

A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights in writing or by way of electronic transmission under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company no later than 2 days prior to the scheduled shareholders’ meeting date. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest by the Company shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to revoke the earlier declaration of intention.

After a shareholder has exercised voting rights in writing or by way of electronic transmission, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders’ meeting in person, a written declaration of intent to rescind 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, no later than 2 days prior to the scheduled shareholders’ meeting date. If the notice of rescission is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised in writing or by way of electronic transmission shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both in writing

121

or by way of electronic transmission 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 adoption 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 a person designated by the Chair shall 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 together 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 a record made of the vote.

  • Article 14: The election of directors 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 the numbers of votes with which they were elected.

The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding

122

  • paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least 1 year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.

  • Article 15: 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 distributed to each shareholder within 20 days after the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting minutes may be produced 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 results, and 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.

123

wear an identification card or armband bearing the word "Proctor."

  • At the place of a shareholders’ meeting, if a shareholder attempts to speak through any device other than the public address equipment set up by the Company, the Chair may prevent the shareholder from so doing.

  • 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: 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 postpone or resume the meeting within 5 days in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act.
