2019 Business Report

Dear Shareholders,

In 2019, the global economy was turbulent, the minimum wage continued to increase, and businesses faced significant challenges. Despite an unstable external operating environment, President Chain Store Corporation (PCSC) continued to serve as a creative, convenient, safe, welcoming community center, offering consumers innovative and convenient products and services. PCSC worked with its subsidiaries to achieve consolidated revenue of NT$256.06 billion and net profits of NT$12.11 billion in 2019. PCSC was selected as Don Jones Sustainability World Index and Don Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets Index this year, and was the only Taiwan enterprise invited and selected among global food & staples retailing industry, underscoring the fact that PCSC meets the standards of world-class remarkable corporations around the globe.

7-ELEVEN Taiwan aims to provide customers with an even more comfortable and friendly place to shop. PCSC launched more featured lifestyle stores to satisfy different business areas and needs. For the first time, PCSC worked with international brands to set up co-brand stores to create unique enjoyable settings for shoppers. Also, PCSC introduced a new consumer model and unveiled the first convenience store in Taiwan combining its X-STORE with Big7 lifestyle store, employing state-of-the-art technology to provide customers with a diversified shopping experience. To ensure food safety, PCSC set up an internal monitoring mechanism and a product quality testing lab. Together, these initiatives enable PCSC to create a rigorous food safety net to protect customers. PCSC has worked together in strategic partnerships with well-known restaurants and chefs to launch a diverse selection of delicious food products. PCSC has continued to improve the quality and flavor of CITY CAFÉ, continuing to drive future growth. In addition, PCSC has continued to develop high quality and differentiated products to satisfy customer needs. In 2019, PCSC for the first time introduced “My Ship” to provide C2C vendors a sound, secure transaction platform. We handled pickup and delivery of more than 200 million packages. PCSC has continued to offer a variety of payment options, by which OPENPOINT can be collected through diversified channels, to build a convenient and comprehensive digital platform for customers.

  • 7 -

In addition to 7-ELEVEN Taiwan, PCSC has also expanded into domestic and overseas retail businesses. As of the end of 2019, PCSC operated a total of 9,900 stores, including 2,850 7-ELEVEN stores in the Philippines. Uni-Wonder Corp. (Starbucks Taiwan) has continued to infuse new life into the coffee market. President Transnet Corp. has continued to enhance its logistics capabilities. President Drugstore Business Corp. (COSMED) has provided quality products and services to meet customers’ rapidly changing needs. Books.com Co., Ltd. has enhanced e-book services to provide a diversified, quality book-purchasing experience.

For many years, PCSC has worked tirelessly to achieve sustainable operations and fulfill our responsibilities in the areas of corporate governance, social engagement, and environmental protection. In the area of corporate governance, PCSC continued to be ranked among the top 5% of all TWSE-/TPEx-listed companies in the annual Corporate Governance Evaluation. PCSC was also selected as a constituent stock of the MSCI Global Sustainability Indices, FTSE4Good Emerging Index, and Taiwan Sustainability Index. In the area of social participation, PCSC held almost 17,000 Good Neighbor Funfest events this year, using OPENPOINT for converting the points earned for donating books. PCSC has developed a senior-friendly network, Good Neighbor meal delivery, and a program in which older Alzheimer’s victims serve as store employees. In the area of environmental protection, PCSC took the initiative to expand its plastic reduction policies, gradually introducing strawless sip lids and environmentally-friendly straws into 7-ELEVEN stores and its subsidiaries around Taiwan. PCSC received Taiwan Corporate Sustainability CSR Report Award from TCSA, the only recipient in the convenience store industry.

Global economic uncertainty will continue in 2020. Nevertheless, PCSC will maintain integrity and honesty in our business operations, while continuing to advance the company’s seven key building elements: people, stores, products, systems, logistics, policies, and culture. PCSC has evolved from a “convenience store that provides basic necessities” to “a service platform that consumers depend on and that surpasses their expectations” and which offers customers an environment characterized by experience, entertainment, and education.

  • 8 -

By focusing on operations and consolidating cooperate resources, PCSC’s subsidiaries will also continue to achieve outstanding performance. The total number of 7-ELEVEN stores in the Philippines is expected to exceed 3,000. We will continue to expand our product mix and promote lifestyle stores to meet customer needs. Uni-Wonder Corp. (Starbucks Taiwan) will continue to create innovative products characterized by differentiation, enhance the customer experience, and optimize VIP membership program. President Transnet Corp. will continue to enhance its logistics delivery and warehouses services. President Drugstore Business Corp.

By enhancing products and services, 7-ELEVEN Shanghai and 7-ELEVEN Zhejiang will continue to provide customers with a convenient shopping experience.

PCSC is “determined to become the most outstanding retailer by offering convenient services and being a good corporate citizen”. To achieve this vision, PCSC focuses on three core goals, creating a happy company, positively impacting society, and achieving environmental sustainability. We strive to make life more convenient for our customers, ensure steady profitability for our franchisees, create a fair and friendly working environment for our employees, and increase shareholder value for our shareholders.

Appendix IV

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To President Chain Store Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of President Chain Store Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity, and of cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants (which are described in the Other matters section of our report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of President Chain Store Corp. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with this Code. Based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, we believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:

Completeness and accuracy of retail sales revenue

Description

Please refer to Notes 4(25) and 6(24) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy and the details of accounting relating to this key audit matter.

Retail sales revenue is generated by point-of-sale (POS) terminals, which record the merchandise name,

  • 12 -

quantity, sales price and total sales amount of each transaction using pre-established merchandise master file data (including merchandise name, cost of inventory, retail price, sales promotions, etc.). After the daily closing process, each store manager uploads their sales information to the ERP (enterprise resource planning) system, which summarizes all sales and automatically generates sales revenue journal entries. Each store manager also prepares a daily cash report to record the sales information and payment methods (including cash, gift certificates, credit cards and electronic payment devices, etc.) and the cash deposited to the bank.

As retail sales revenue comprises numerous small amount transactions and highly relies on the POS and ERP systems, the process of summarizing and recording sales revenue by these systems is important with regard to the completeness and accuracy of the retail sales revenue, and thus has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Inspected whether additions and changes to the merchandise master file data had been properly approved and supported by relevant documents;

  2. Inspected whether approved additions and changes to the merchandise master file data had been correctly entered in the merchandise master file;

  3. Inspected whether merchandise master file data had been periodically transferred to POS terminals in stores;

  4. Inspected whether sales information in POS terminals was periodically and completely transferred to the ERP system and automatically generated sales revenue journal entries;

  5. Inspected manual sales revenue journal entries and relevant documents;

  6. Inspected daily cash reports and relevant documents; and

  7. Inspected whether cash deposit amounts recorded in daily cash reports were in agreement with bank remittance amounts.

Cost-to-retail ratio of retail inventory method

Description

Please refer to Notes 4(12) and 6(4) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy and the details of accounting relating to this key audit matter.

As there are various kinds of merchandise, the retail inventory method is used to estimate the cost of inventory and the cost of goods sold. The retail inventory method uses the ratio of the cost of goods purchased to the retail value of goods purchased (known as cost-to-retail ratio) to calculate the cost of inventory and the cost of goods sold. The calculation of the cost-to-retail ratio highly relies on the goods purchased both at cost and retail price, and thus has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Interviewed management to understand the calculation of the cost-to-retail ratio under the retail inventory method, and inspected whether it had been consistently applied in the comparative periods of the financial statements;

  2. Inspected whether additions and changes to the merchandise master file data (including

  3. 13 -

merchandise name, cost of inventory, retail price, sales promotions, etc.) had been properly approved and the data correctly entered in the merchandise master file;

  1. Inspected whether the cost and retail price of inventory purchased as per delivery receipts were in agreement with POS purchase records after acceptance of the inventory;

  2. Inspected whether the POS records for the cost and retail price of inventory purchased were periodically and completely transferred to the ERP system and ascertain whether the records could not be changed manually; and

  3. Calculated the cost-to-retail ratio to verify its accuracy.

Other matter – Using the work of other auditors

We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries, which reflect total assets of NT$17,667,481 thousand and NT$10,081,554 thousand, representing 9.1% and 7.9% of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and total operating revenue of NT$32,407,436 thousand and NT$25,801,037 thousand, representing 12.7% and 10.5% of total consolidated operating revenue for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements and the information on investees disclosed in Note 13 were based solely on the reports of other independent accountants.

Other matters – Parent company-only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion with an explanatory paragraph on the parent company only financial statements of President Chain Store Corp. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal controls as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.

  • 14 -

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the 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 controls of the Group.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controls that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant

  • 15 -

ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are, therefore, considered to be the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless the law or regulations preclude public disclosure about the matter, or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To President Chain Store Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of President Chain Store Corp. as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity, and of cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants (which are described in the Other matters section of our report), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of President Chain Store Corp. as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with this Code. Based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, we believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 are stated as follows:

  • 24 -

Completeness and accuracy of retail sales revenue

Description

Please refer to Notes 4(23) and 6(21) to the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policy and the details of accounting relating to this key audit matter.

Retail sales revenue is generated by point-of-sale (POS) terminals, which record the merchandise name, quantity, sales price and total sales amount of each transaction using pre-established merchandise master file data (including merchandise name, cost of inventory, retail price, sales promotions, etc.). After the daily closing process, each store manager uploads the sales information to the ERP (enterprise resource planning) system, which summarizes all sales and automatically generates sales revenue journal entries. Each store manager also prepares a daily cash report to record the sales information and payment methods (including cash, gift certificates, credit cards and electronic payment devices, etc.) and the cash deposited to the bank.

As retail sales revenue comprises numerous small amount transactions and highly relies on the POS and ERP systems, the process of summarizing and recording sales revenue by these systems is important with regard to the completeness and accuracy of the retail sales revenue, and thus has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Inspected whether additions and changes to the merchandise master file data had been properly approved and supported by relevant documents;

  2. Inspected whether approved additions and changes to the merchandise master file data had been correctly entered in the merchandise master file;

  3. Inspected whether merchandise master file data had been periodically transferred to POS terminals in stores;

  4. Inspected whether sales information in POS terminals was periodically and completely transferred to the ERP system and automatically generated sales revenue journal entries;

  5. Inspected manual sales revenue journal entries and relevant documents;

  6. Inspected daily cash reports and relevant documents; and

  7. Inspected whether cash deposit amounts recorded in daily cash reports were in agreement with bank remittance amounts.

Cost-to-retail ratio of retail inventory method

Description

Please refer to Notes 4(11) and 6(3) to the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policy and the details of accounting relating to this key audit matter.

As there are various kinds of merchandise, the retail inventory method is used to estimate the cost of inventory and the cost of goods sold. The retail inventory method uses the ratio of the cost of goods purchased to their retail value (known as cost-to-retail ratio) to calculate the cost of inventory and the cost of goods sold. The calculation of the cost-to-retail ratio highly relies on the goods purchased both at cost and retail price, and thus has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

  • 25 -

Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above included the following:

  1. Interviewed management to understand the calculation of the cost-to-retail ratio under the retail inventory method, and inspected whether it had been consistently applied in the comparative periods of the financial statements;

  2. Inspected whether additions and changes to the merchandise master file data (including merchandise name, cost of inventory, retail price, sales promotions, etc.) had been properly approved and the data correctly entered in the merchandise master file;

  3. Inspected whether the cost and retail price of inventory purchased as per delivery receipts were in agreement with POS purchase records after acceptance of the inventory;

  4. Inspected whether the POS records for the cost and retail price of inventory purchased were periodically and completely transferred to the ERP system and ascertain whether the records could not be changed manually; and

  5. Calculated the cost-to-retail ratio to verify its accuracy.

Other matter –Using the work of other auditors

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investee companies. The balance of these investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$2,528,945 thousand and NT$2,210,541 thousand, representing 1.9% and 2.5% of total assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the related total comprehensive net income (including share of profit of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method and share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method) amounted to NT$ 412,872 thousand and NT$415,363 thousand, representing 4.1% and 3.9% of total comprehensive net income for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements and the information on investees disclosed in Note 13 were based solely on the reports of other independent accountants.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent

company only financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, and for such internal controls as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the 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 controls of the Company.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in

  • 27 -

internal controls that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and are, therefore, considered to be the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless the law or regulations preclude public disclosure about the matter, or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Yi-Chang, Liang Chien-Hung, Chou For and on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan 27 February, 2020

  • IV. The numbers of participating shareholders and the number of voting powers in the shareholders’ meeting shall be calculated based on the number of shares.

  • V. A shareholders’ meeting shall be convened in the place where the Company is headquartered or a place convenient to shareholders for participation. A shareholders’ meeting shall be convened not earlier than 9:00 a.m. or later than 3:00 p.m.

The aforementioned timeframe for shareholders to report for participation shall be a minimum of thirty minutes prior to the time scheduled to start the meeting. The location to report for participation shall be conspicuously remarked and shall be staffed with adequate and competent personnel to entertain the report for participation.

  • VII. Unless otherwise prescribed in laws and ordinances concerned, a shareholders’ meeting shall be convened by the board of directors and be chaired by the chairperson. In the event that the chairperson is unavailable to exercise his responsibilities and powers by any reason, the chairperson shall appoint a director to act as his substitute. In the event that another person bestowed with the power to convene the meeting convenes a shareholders’ meeting, such convener shall chair the meeting.

In the event that a director is appointed to chair a meeting as the substitute for the chairperson as

  • 51 -

mentioned in the preceding paragraph, such director shall be the one who has served as a director for a minimum of six months and who is well aware of the Company’s financial standing. This same provision is equally mutatis mutandis applicable to an event where the chairperson is the representative of a director.

  • VIII. The Company may appoint retained Attorneys-at-Law, Certified Public Accountants or relevant people to attend the shareholders’ meeting as non-voting guest participants. The staff in charge of the shareholders’ meeting shall wear the identity certificates.

A present shareholder in a shareholders’ meeting shall, before addressing himself or herself to the meeting, fill up the note of speech which shall bear gist of his or her speech, account number of the shareholder (or code of the participation certificate) and name of account holder.

In case of a discrepancy
