Reasons for issuing restricted employee rights new shares:
To retain and attract professional talent, motivate employees, and enhance their sense of belonging and loyalty, thereby laying the foundation for the company's sustainable operation. -
Potential salary expenses, impact on earnings per share, and other effects on shareholder equity:
Based on the closing price of NT$ 756 on April 27, 2026, and assuming all vesting conditions are fully satisfied, and taking into consideration the proposed adjustment of the par value from NT$10 to NT$0.5 under the preceding proposal, the maximum amount that may be recognized as expenses is estimated to be NT$302,400 thousand. In accordance with the vesting conditions, the estimated amounts to be recognized as expenses in each year from 2026 to 2029 are approximately NT$ 12,390 thousand, NT$ 144,900 thousand, NT$ 98,910 thousand, and NT$46,200 thousand, respectively. Based on the company's outstanding shares of 65,580,050 on April 27, 2026, (including 667,500 shares underlying employee stock options that have been exercised but for which change registration has not yet been completed), and after taking into account the par value adjustment, the number of outstanding shares is estimated to be 1,311,601 thousand shares. Accordingly, the potential reduction in earnings per share for each year from 2026 to 2029 is approximately NT$0.01, NT$0.11, NT$0.08, and NT$0.04, respectively. If, prior to the issuance of the restricted employee shares, there is any decrease or increase in the number of outstanding shares, the expense amount will be adjusted proportionally to comply with regulations. The restricted employee shares to be issued in this offering represent approximately 0.61% of the total
6
issued shares after the par value adjustment, with limited dilution of earnings per share and no significant impact on shareholder equity.

Business Report
- 2025 Business Results
A. Implementation Results of the Business Plan
Over the past year, through continuous efforts, the Company has achieved several major milestones by adhering to its strategy of technological independence, clinical advancement, manufacturing integration, and capital reinforcement.
(1) Significant Progress in the Phase II Clinical Trial of CD-19 CAR-T (PL001) for the treatment of B-cell Lymphoma.
After review by the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) in October 2023, the Company’s PL001 program received approval to continue its Phase II clinical trial, which is currently ongoing. In addition, based on the DSMB’s recommendation, the Company submitted an application to the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) for a protocol amendment to include an interim analysis. Such amendment was approved by the MOHW on January 28, 2026. Based on the results of the interim analysis, the Company will evaluate the possibility of applying for early termination of the Phase II clinical trial and, in accordance with the clinical trial data and applicable regulatory requirements, plan subsequent regulatory submissions, such as applications for a conditional approval or accelerated approval, in order to expedite market entry and provide timely access to patients.
We are exploring opportunities to expand to Singapore, Japan, and the United States, which offer pathways for conditional marketing authorization of novel regenerative medicines. Once regulatory approval is obtained in Taiwan, we will leverage our data for review by these international regulatory bodies. Based on their feedback, we may need to conduct additional studies, potentially including subjects of diverse ethnicities (such as different ethnic groups) and/or increasing participant numbers to facilitate entry into overseas markets.
(2) The PIC/S GMP Factory Design Taiwan Cell Manufacturing Company (TCMC) is currently under construction.
Taiwan Cell Manufacturing Company (tcmc), a subsidiary of the company, is located in Zhubei Biomedical Park. The manufacturing facility, covering an area of approximately 1,000 ping, is currently under construction and validation. This facility will adhere to the cGMP production standards set by both the USFDA and EMA, enabling the manufacturing of CAR-T and other genetically modified cell therapies.
Beyond serving Taiwanese patients, tcmc aspires to become a global Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) for genetically modified cell products, in preparation for expanding into Asian markets and supplying products to Europe and the United States. Additionally, the factory is planning virus vector production unit meeting PIC/S GMP standards, with ongoing optimization of both upstream lentiviral production processes and downstream purification processes. These initiatives are intended to enhance yield and quality while reducing manufacturing costs. Through capacity expansion and process optimization, the Company expects to progressively reduce its reliance on external CDMOs and to support the clinical development and commercialization of its core products.
(3) Completion of Capital Increase through Cash Offering
In 2025, the Company completed a cash capital increase through the issuance of 6,000,000 shares at a subscription price of NTD 310 per share, raising total proceeds of NTD 1.86 billion. The Company announced the full receipt of subscription funds on January 8, 2026. The proceeds from this capital increase are primarily allocated to new drug research and development (including PL003 BCMA allogeneic CAR-T, PL002 mesothelin allogeneic CAR-T, and PP011 short-chain peptide programs), clinical trial execution, enhancement of GMP facilities and manufacturing capabilities, as well as strengthening overall working capital.
(4) Initiation of Overseas Expansion and Establishment of the First Overseas Subsidiary – PepTide (Shanghai) Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.
During the year, the Board of Directors resolved to establish a subsidiary in Mainland China as part of the Company's overseas expansion strategy. Peptide (Shanghai) Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. obtained its business license on January 28, 2026. Going forward, the subsidiary will integrate clinical development and manufacturing resources in Mainland China and will evaluate potential collaboration models and regulatory strategies to support the Company's long-term international development plans.

2026 Business Plan
A. Business Policy
The company's main business activities are divided into immune gene engineering, non-genetically modified cell therapy products, and non-cell products.
(1) Immune Gene Engineering: The company develops Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy using proprietary technology. Currently, the CD19 CAR-T (PL001) for treating B-cell lymphoma is currently undergoing Phase II clinical trials domestically.
(2) Non-genetically Modified Cell Therapy Products: The company complies with the "Regulations Governing the Implementation or Use of Specific Medical Techniques, Examination, and Medical Devices" (hereinafter referred to as "Specific Regulations") and has been approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare as a cell preparation institution adhering to Good Tissue Practice (GTP). The non-genetically modified cells that can currently be prepared include: Cytokine-Induced Killer (CIK) cells, mixed cells combining dendritic cells and cytokine-induced killer cells (DC-CIK), and mesenchymal stem cells cultured and expanded from autologous fat (Adipose-Derived Stem Cells; ADSC). CIK and DC-CIK are used for adjunctive cancer therapy, while ADSC is used for treating degenerative arthritis and knee cartilage defects. To date, the company has collaborated with various medical institutions, including Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, Cheng Ching General Hospital, Taichung Veterans General Hospital, Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, Chiayi Christian Hospital, Chi Mei Hospital, Botian International Hospital, Tainan Municipal Hospital, Pingtung Christian Hospital, Shuang Ho Hospital, Wan Fang Hospital, and Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, to prepare cells for patient treatment.
(3) Non-cell Products: The company's current non-cell product is a hair growth solution that promotes the proliferation of hair follicle stem cells.
11
B. Expected Sales Volume and Its Basis
In our country's regenerative medicine industry, cell/gene therapy has seen a rapid increase in the number of cell storage, cell therapy plans, clinical trial cases, and cell therapy contract manufacturing following the implementation of the 'Specific Regulations.' Additionally, the 'Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industry Development Act' has been announced, and the legislation of the 'Regenerative Medicine Dual Laws' has been passed, which will drive the growth in the number of cell/gene therapy products in our country.
In addition to continuing its collaboration with major medical institutions on non-genetically modified cell therapies, the Company will also accelerate the clinical development of PL001. The successful obtainment of conditional approval or accelerated approval would contribute positively to the Company's business growth.
C. Important Production and Sales Policies
Since September 2020, the company has started collaborating with medical institutions on 'Specific Regulations' related businesses. The company's sales strategy for 'Specific Regulations' aims to accumulate achievements through collaboration with Chung Shan Medical University Hospital, a renowned medical center in central Taiwan, and then replicate the successful experience to promote it to medical institutions nationwide. To date, the company has collaborated with Chung Shan Medical University Hospital and 12 other medical institutions to treat patients and continues to develop collaboration opportunities with medical institutions. Additionally, the company's core product, PL001 therapy, is undergoing Phase II clinical trials. On January 28, 2026, the Company obtained approval from the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) to amend the clinical trial protocol to include an interim analysis. Based on the results of such interim analysis, the Company plans to apply for early termination of the Phase II clinical trial. If regulatory approval for the product can be successfully obtained, the Company will be able to proceed with domestic commercialization and increase its revenue sources.
- Future Company Development Strategy
Corporate Mission: "Pioneers in Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine."
PELL BMT, in its future development, will continue to deepen its efforts in two established directions based on the foundation laid in the past:
(1) Technological Independence, CGT products for treating solid tumors, and Independent CAR-T Production Infrastructure
While diligently progressing through the ongoing Phase II clinical trial of PL001, Pell BMT is actively developing a diversified pipeline of cell and gene therapies targeting solid tumors. We currently have two pre-clinical projects, PL002 and PL003 underway. In addition, tcmc is expected to apply for PIC/S GMP inspection and certification in 2026. This facility will empower us to establish a one-stop production infrastructure for CAR-T therapies, catering to patients in Taiwan and fostering a complete local supply chain. This in-house manufacturing capability, coupled with cost-effective raw materials, positions us strategically to offer competitive CAR-T production in Taiwan and beyond. It also allows us to develop tcmc's CDMO business model, generating momentum for long-term profitability.
(2) Global Expansion Strategy
Pell BMT's PL001 (CD19 CAR-T) product has gone thorough patent infringement assessments by legal experts. We have confirmed no conflicts with major European and American manufacturers. Concurrent with further clinical trials of PL001, we will pursue international market entry. The Company is currently actively engaging with
health authorities in various countries, with the objective of obtaining regulatory approvals.
- Influenced by the external competitive environment, regulatory environment, and macroeconomic environment
(1) New drug development requires substantial investment and time:
The company is a new drug research and development company in the field of regenerative medicine, with CAR-T therapy as its core business. The new drug development process, from drug discovery, preclinical trials, clinical trials, new drug application and registration, to post-market surveillance, is lengthy.
(2) Risk of competitors using patent litigation for commercial interference:
The company possesses key raw material technology for the lentiviral packaging system in the CAR-T process, which has been patented in Taiwan. Patent applications for the lentiviral packaging system in other countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan are still under review. Additionally, the company has applied for patents on the method of expanding chimeric antigen receptor T cells in Taiwan, the United States, Australia, China, Japan, and the European Union. Obtaining these patents will be crucial for the company's future entry into international markets. As CAR-T is a rapidly developing field, the application and acquisition of intellectual property rights are constantly evolving. The company will proactively plan and secure relevant patent technologies to protect intellectual property rights and related research and development projects.
Pell BMT has completed the establishment of its core technology platforms, advanced its clinical trial programs, and built a solid manufacturing infrastructure. Going forward, the Company will continue to pursue clinical commercialization and international expansion, driving growth through long-term technological value and market demand, with the aim of creating stable and sustainable long-term benefits for shareholders.
On behalf of the company, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to all shareholders for their unwavering support and encouragement. We look forward to your continued backing as we strive to achieve greater success.

We believe that 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 judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2025 financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the 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 2025 financial statements are stated as follows:
15
Indicator of impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
Description
The balance of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets of the Company and subsidiaries (recognized as investments accounted for using equity method) on December 31, 2025 totaled NT$709,808 thousand, constituting 43% of the parent company only total assets. Refer to Note 4(16) for the accounting policies on impairment of non-financial assets, Note 6(7) for the details of property, plant and equipment and Note 6(8) for the details of right-of-use assets.
As the Company is committed to the research and development, and manufacturing of new cell drugs, the property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets currently purchased are mainly used for research and development and future production and manufacturing, their utilization is closely related to the Company’s research and development results. In addition, the balance of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets on December 31, 2025 was significant. Therefore, we consider the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
Reviewed the statements of indicator of impairment assessment provided by the management, discussed with the management and the research and development executive and assessed the following matters:
- The main research and development technology had not lost to competitors in the market.
- The progress of the main research and development project had no significant delay.
- The main research and development equipment was in proper use and was not damaged or obsolete.
The total market value of the Company on the balance sheet date was not lower than the carrying amount.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the 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 Company's financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 control.
16
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control 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 Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 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.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company 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 control 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in
17
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To Pell Bio-Med Technology Co., Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pell Bio-Med Technology Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. 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 Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Group's 2025 consolidated financial statements. 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.
~23~
Key audit matters for the Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
Indicator of impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
Description
The balance of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets of the Group on December 31, 2025 totaled NT$709,808 thousand, constituting 34% of the consolidated total assets. Refer to Note 4(18) for the accounting policies on impairment of non-financial assets, Note 6(7) for the details of property, plant and equipment and Note 6(8) for the details of right-of-use assets.
As the Group is committed to the research and development, and manufacturing of new cell drugs, the property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets currently purchased are mainly used for research and development and future production and manufacturing, their utilization is closely related to the Group’s research and development results. In addition, the balance of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets on December 31, 2025 was significant. Therefore, we consider the indicator of impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets as a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter:
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

Other matter – Parent company only financial statements
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Pell Bio-Med Technology Co. Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
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 that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control 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 Group’s financial reporting process.
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 is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China 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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of 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 control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control 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 Group's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-26-
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 control 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes 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.
