The purpose of the funds was to purchase machinery and facilities for Phase 1 of the Tongluo fab. This was aimed at expanding capacity, enhancing international competitiveness, and meeting client demand.
-
2.Given the impacts of fluctuations in the global semiconductor market, the fab construction plan has not gone as expected; there has been a shortfall in Phase 1 production capacity as compared to the originally-expected levels. In order to implement asset streamlining and enhance fund utilization efficiency, a resolution was made to sell its fabrication site and facilities in Tongluo to Micron Technology, Inc., on behalf of itself and its worldwide subsidiaries and affiliates. The related disposition contract was approved at the 22nd meeting of the 9th term of the Board of Directors. Funds raised by the original plan have been fully used up. To respond to this transformation in operations, the Company will make no new investments in machinery or facilities for the Tongluo fab, and plans to relocate personnel, equipment, and product lines originally located at Tongluo back to the current fabs, in a phased manner.

Business Report
In 2025, Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation ("PSMC") recorded total revenue of NT\$46.7 billion, for an increase of 4% (or 8% in US dollar terms) on the previous year. Logic foundry contributed 61% of total annual revenue; memory foundry, 37%; and advanced packaging, 2%. Within the logic foundry segment, revenue from power management ICs and power discrete devices increased from 28% in the previous year to 36%. The proportion of revenue derived from advanced packaging also rose from 0.2% to 2%. However, the new Tongluo Fab has not yet achieved economies of scale, and so PSMC recorded a net loss after tax of NT\$7.8 billion for the year.
Looking back at 2025, the global economy continued to be affected by geopolitical tensions and tariff-related uncertainties. Demand for consumer electronics experienced modest growth, partly stimulated by subsidy policies in China; however, the industry continued to face structural challenges including the absence of a "new killer app," substantial capacity expansion in mature process nodes in China, and the ongoing "China for China" localization policy in the semiconductor sector. As a result, good performance was difficult both in pricing and capacity utilization rates for mature-node wafer foundry services. In addition, intense competition in China's automotive market posed significant challenges for non-Chinese automakers. The automotive and industrial semiconductor markets experienced only a gradual recovery. 2025 was a year in which advanced process technologies related to AI-driven semiconductor applications remained the relative bright spot.
However, for customers targeting markets outside of China, the supply chain diversification trend driven by geopolitical developments (the "Out of China" trend mentioned above) continues to gain momentum. At the same time, Taiwan's leadership in AI server manufacturing and advanced semiconductor process technologies has positioned the island at the forefront of global AI hardware. This momentum has in turn driven demand for mature-node foundry services supporting AI serverrelated applications, including power management ICs (PMICs), silicon interposers, gallium nitride (GaN) devices, and integrated passive devices (IPDs) such as silicon capacitors. Many well-known major enterprises are already in position for pilot production. Beginning in 2026, these products are expected to begin entering mass production, which will generate significant contributions to PSMC's revenue and profitability. In addition, PSMC has invested for many years in 3D wafer-onwafer stacking and hybrid bonding technologies (3D WoW hybrid-bonding). Our four-layer 3D_AI_DRAM technology has obtained advanced logic manufacturer certification, and we are working toward eight-layer stacked hybrid bonding. When applied to next-generation edge AI computing applications, this technology will provide high-bandwidth, low-power solutions for Edge AI systems, and will bring the next phase of growth momentum for PSMC.
The Company has recently entered into a comprehensive strategic partnership with Micron Technology. The Board of Directors has already resolved to transfer the Tongluo fab (P5) to Micron Technology Taiwan in phases within 18 months following the execution of the definitive agreement, in order to support Micron in accelerating and expanding their DRAM deployment in Taiwan. The equipment and personnel at the P5 fab will be gradually relocated to the Hsinchu facilities without any layoffs or operational disruption. We will also phase out and upgrade aging equipment and lowmargin product lines at the Hsinchu fabs. In addition, Micron has engaged PSMC to provide post wafer fabrication (PWF) services, formally incorporating PSMC into their HBM advanced packaging supply chain and establishing a long-term foundry partnership with PSMC. Micron will also support PSMC in advancing our specialty DRAM foundry business and by giving us access to next-generation DRAM process technologies. Through this collaboration with a world-leading memory manufacturer, we expect to optimize PSMC's financial structure, technology roadmap, and operational fundamentals, thus moving toward the vision of stable profitability and sustainable development. Furthermore, the cooperation project with Tata Electronics in India continues to
proceed as planned, with good mutual engagement. To date, technical service fees have reached US\$143 million, with no delays in payment. We and Tata have also initiated further collaboration to jointly expand the logic IC semiconductor market in India.
2025 marked the bottom of the operational cycle. In 2026, PSMC will embark on our fourth transformation, leveraging our technological innovation and the synergies we have generated through collaboration with customers and strategic partners. We believe that 2026 is a year to look forward to. We will continue to uphold our core values of integrity, service, quality, and innovation by strengthening technology research and development, advancing product innovation, and expanding into global markets. We also remain committed to ESG and sustainable development principles of promoting environmental stewardship, giving back to society, and strong corporate governance, so as to share prosperity with our customers, society, and the environment. We would like to again express our sincere gratitude to you, our shareholders, for your long-standing support and trust in PSMC. We will continue to make every effort to create greater value for our shareholders and to fulfill our commitment to stable profitability and sustainable development.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (the "Company"), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the parent company only statements of comprehensive (loss) income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements. including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the accompanying parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' 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 Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant 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
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, 2025. 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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters of the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are described as follows:
Occurrence of Sales Revenue
There is a significant risk to revenue recognition. Thus, we believe that there is a validity risk regarding the transactions of sales revenue of the Company and certain products involve relatively higher risk. Therefore, the risk relating to the validity of sales revenue from the specific products is deemed a key audit matter.
Our main audit procedures performed with respect to the above-mentioned key audit matter are as follows:
-
- We obtained an understanding of the design and implementation of internal controls for revenue recognition and tested if these controls were performed effectively.
-
- We sampled and inspected the validity of the background of the customers and assessed their credit assessments and whether they had been appropriately approved.
-
- We confirmed the validity of sales revenue, and we sampled the sales revenue from specific products and inspected the contracts or customer orders, delivery orders confirmed by the counterparties and invoices, and whether the sales counterparties were the same as the counterparties collecting payment.
-
- We reviewed significant sales returns and discounts that happened after year end to confirm the occurrence of sales revenue from specific products.
Acceptance of Property, Plant and Equipment
-
- The capital expenditure of the Company relating to property, plant and equipment is significant to its financial statements. Refer to Note 11 to the accompanying financial statements for details on property, plant and equipment.
-
- To ensure the accuracy of the cost amounts, the acquisition, purchase, verification and record keeping of the Company's property, plant and equipment are all subject to appropriate sign-off procedures. Based on the list of equipment under installation and construction in progress, the Company records the capitalized items that are confirmed to be available for their intended use into the computer system under fixed assets every month. The Company regularly examines items that are not capitalized for more than three months after their receipt date and requests that the department responsible for utilizing the items provide an explanation for the reasons for not yet acceptance.
-
- Because of the significance of such capital expenditure amounts, delays in acceptance or errors in the cost amounts thereof may lead to misstatements of the financial statements.
-
- We reviewed the Company's property, plant and equipment capital expenditure policy, assessed the reasonableness of the timing of acceptance, and conducted the following procedures:
- 1) We selected samples of newly acquired items from the record of property, plant and equipment and verified that the costs were recognized in the appropriate period.
- 2) We selected samples from the list of equipment under installation and construction in progress at year end, performed an on-site physical inventory, and confirmed that such items were not yet available for their intended use.
- 3) We selected samples of items that were not capitalized for more than three months after their receipt date from the list of equipment under installation and construction in progress and examined the reasons for not yet acceptance.
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 control 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 members of the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' 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 auditors' 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of 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 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 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 auditors' 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 auditors' 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 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.
-
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' 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.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Ming-Yuan Chung and Mei-Chen Tsai.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of 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 (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant 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
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, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are described as follows:
Occurrence of Sales Revenue
There is a significant risk to revenue recognition. Thus, we believe that there is a validity risk regarding the transactions of sales revenue of the Company and certain products involve relatively higher risk. Therefore, the risk relating to the validity of sales revenue from the specific products is deemed a key audit matter.
Our main audit procedures performed with respect to the above-mentioned key audit matter are as follows:
-
- We obtained an understanding of the design and implementation of internal controls for revenue recognition and tested if these controls were performed effectively.
-
- We sampled and inspected the validity of the background of the customers and assessed their credit assessments and whether they had been appropriately approved.
-
- We confirmed the validity of sales revenue, and we sampled the sales revenue from specific products and inspected the contracts or customer orders, delivery orders confirmed by the counterparties and invoices, and whether the sales counterparties were the same as the counterparties collecting payment.
-
- We reviewed significant sales returns and discounts that happened after year end to confirm the occurrence of sales revenue from specific products.
Acceptance of Property, Plant and Equipment
-
- The capital expenditure of the Company relating to property, plant and equipment is significant to its financial statements. Refer to Note 11 to the accompanying financial statements for details on property, plant and equipment.
-
- To ensure the accuracy of the cost amounts, the acquisition, purchase, verification and record keeping of the Company's property, plant and equipment are all subject to appropriate sign-off procedures. Based on the list of equipment under installation and construction in progress, the Company records the capitalized items that are confirmed to be available for their intended use into the computer system under fixed assets every month. The Company regularly examines items that are not capitalized for more than three months after their receipt date and requests that the department responsible for utilizing the items provide an explanation for the reasons for not yet acceptance.
-
- Because of the significance of such capital expenditure amounts, delays in acceptance or errors in the cost amounts thereof may lead to misstatements of the financial statements.
-
- We reviewed the Company's property, plant and equipment capital expenditure policy, assessed the reasonableness of the timing of acceptance, and conducted the following procedures:
- 1) We selected samples of newly acquired items from the record of property, plant and equipment and verified that the costs were recognized in the appropriate period.
- 2) We selected samples from the list of equipment under installation and construction in progress at year end, performed an on-site physical inventory, and confirmed that such items were not yet available for their intended use.
- 3) We selected samples of items that were not capitalized for more than three months after their receipt date from the list of equipment under installation and construction in progress and examined the reasons for not yet acceptance.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, 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 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 members of the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' 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 auditors' 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 maintain 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 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 auditors' 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 auditors' 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 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 and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company 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 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 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' 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.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Ming-Yuan Chung and Mei-Chen Tsai.

Change Proposal Report for the issuance of new common shares to sponsor the issuance of GDR through ordinary shares in 2022
1.The reason for this project change
The original cash capital increase plan was to purchase machinery and facilities for Phase 1 of the Tongluo fab. This was aimed at expanding capacity, enhancing international competitiveness, and meeting client demand. However, during the construction period, the Company faced challenges from mainland Chinese competitors who were actively expanding their mature process foundry market capacity and engaging in price-cutting competition, amid a global environment of high inflation and elevated interest rates, and the shadow of war, downstream demand for consumer electronics weakened. The Company adjusted its production capacity planning, slowed down equipment procurement, and gradually expanded its capacity for AI-related applications to respond to the situation. Nevertheless, the first phase of the Tongluo factory still faced a gap between its production capacity and the original target, as well as a depreciation burden, which were the main reasons for the company's losses.
Considering the global memory market is experiencing a shortage due to AI applications, in order to accelerate the improvement of the Company's memory process technology and enhance its financial structure, the Company's Board of Directors approvaled on February 10, 2026, to sell the Tongluo Fab and its facilities to Micron Technology, Inc., on behalf of itself and its worldwide subsidiaries and affiliates. It is expected that after the remaining balance is paid in the second quarter of 2026, all machinery and equipment procurement activities will be formally stopped. Therefore, an application for a change in the plan is submitted. The table below compares the total amount of funds required before and after the plan change:
| Total funds required | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Item | Currency | before change | after change | Variance |

Q2 2026 | NTD | 52,825,499 | 51,931,585 | 869,134 | 24,780 |
Note: Estimated based on an exchange rate of NT\$29.7:US\$1.
The funds raised in this offering have been fully utilized in accordance with the original plan. In response to adjustments in our operational strategy and in connection with the disposal of the Tongluo Fab, the Company has concurrently terminated the Tongluo Fab construction project. With respect to the existing resources of the Tongluo Fab, the Company has adopted a phased disposition approach, integrating core personnel, key equipment, and high value-added product lines into our existing fabrication facilities. Through a strategy of retaining the strongest assets and eliminating
underperforming ones, the Company aims to accelerate replacement for outdated equipment and reduce low-margin product lines. This approach is intended to decrease reliance on the mature-process foundry market and further optimize the Company's product portfolio and profitability structure.
3.Expected after change benefits
After the plan change, the Company can significantly reduce the idle capacity costs generated by the Tongluo Fab's first phase due to the initial capacity utilization rate not meeting expectations. Through asset disposal, the Company can optimize its asset turnover rate and cash flow. The posttransformation technology path will help the Company enter the high-performance computing market, enhance long-term shareholder value, and strengthen its competitive position in the industry.
The total amount of NT\$52,825,499,000 (approximately US\$1,778,636,000 at an exchange rate of NT\$29.7:US\$1) was used to purchase machinery and equipment for the Tongluo Fab, mainly to meet the needs of the semiconductor market demand and the Company's project development plan. As of the end of 2025, the total amount of equipment invested was NT\$51,931,585,000 (approximately US\$1,748,538,000 at an exchange rate of NT\$29.7:US\$1), and the remaining amount is expected to be fully paid in the second quarter of 2026.
To optimize production base allocation, the purchased equipment will be transferred in phases from the Tongluo Fab to the existing facilities in Hsinchu for integration. Upon completion, the centralized management of production bases is expected to more effectively drive revenue contribution and enhance operational synergies. Based on an evaluation of post-transfer capacity benefits and product portfolio optimization effects, the estimated recovery period for this machinery and equipment investment is approximately 14.35 years. The projected future profitability and benefits are summarized in the table below.

As of December 31, 2025, cumulative payments made for machinery and equipment for the Tongluo Fab amounted to approximately US\$1,538,347,000.
Of the aforementioned procurement payments, US\$403,411,000 in funding came from proceeds raised in this offering, while the remaining approximately US\$1,134,936,000 was financed through the Company's internal funds and bank borrowings. In summary, the proceeds raised in this offering have been fully utilized in accordance with the original plan.
2.Amended plan
(1)Rationale and necessity for the plan amendment
The Company's original fundraising plan was intended to finance the acquisition of Phase I
machinery and equipment for the Tongluo Fab, with the objective of expanding production capacity and enhancing international competitiveness. However, amid the global environment of high inflation and elevated interest rates, downstream demand for consumer electronics has weakened. At the same time, industry peers in China have aggressively expanded mature process capacity and adopted price-competition strategies, resulting in significant changes to the industry's supply-demand dynamics. Although the Company has flexibly adjusted our product mix and equipment procurement strategy, shifting toward development for AI-related applications, the Tongluo Fab has yet to achieve economies of scale and is subject to relatively high depreciation and amortization burdens, thereby constraining profitability momentum.
In light of the surge in AI application-driven memory market demand, and in order to reduce asset depreciation pressure, accelerate process technology advancement, and strengthen our financial structure, the Company's Board of Directors resolved on February 10, 2026, to dispose of the Tongluo Fab and its related facilities (excluding production-related machinery and equipment) to Micron Technology, Inc., on behalf of itself and its worldwide subsidiaries and affiliates. In connection with this asset disposal, the Company is expected that after the remaining balance is paid in the second quarter of 2026, all machinery and equipment procurement activities will be formally stopped at the Tongluo Fab.
In summary, this change to the plan for the use of proceeds is based on prudent consideration of the dramatic changes in the industry environment and operating performance falling short of expectations. The disposal of underperforming assets will optimize capital utilization, alleviate depreciation burdens, and improve the Company's financial structure, as well as also better concentrating resources on high-core-competency areas such as AI memory. This is why this change to the plan is both reasonable and necessary. A table comparing total funds required before and after change is given below.

The proceeds raised in this offering have been fully utilized in accordance with the original plan. In response to adjustments in our operational strategy and in connection with the disposal of the Tongluo Fab, the Company has concurrently terminated the Tongluo Fab construction project. With respect to the existing resources of the Tongluo Fab, the Company has adopted a phased disposition approach, integrating core personnel, key equipment, and high value-added
product lines into our existing fabrication facilities. Through a strategy of retaining the strongest assets and eliminating underperforming ones, the Company aims to accelerate replacement for outdated equipment and reduce low-margin product lines. This approach is intended to decrease reliance on the mature-process foundry market and further optimize the Company's product portfolio and profitability structure.
(3)Expected after change benefits
After the plan is changed, the Company will be able to alleviate the substantial depreciation burden incurred during the Tongluo Fab's initial phase, when economies of scale had yet to be realized. By revitalizing asset disposal, we expect to significantly improve asset turnover and strengthen cash flow. In addition, the Company's strategic shift toward advanced technology development will facilitate our entry into the high-performance computing market, thereby enhancing long-term shareholder value and reinforcing our competitive position within the industry.
Under the amended plan, the total amount for the purchase of machinery and equipment for the Tongluo Fab is NT\$52,825,499,000 (equivalent to c. US\$1,778,636,000 at an exchange rate of NT\$29.7:US\$1). This investment is aligned with semiconductor market demand and the Company's long-term strategic initiatives. As of the end of 2025, cumulative investment in such machinery and equipment amounted to NT\$51,931,585,000 (equivalent to US\$1,748,538,000), with the balance expected to be fully paid in the second quarter of 2026.
To optimize production base allocation, the procured machinery and equipment will be relocated in phases from the Tongluo Fab to our existing facilities in Hsinchu for integration. Upon completion, we project that centralized management of our production bases will more effectively drive revenue contribution and enhance operational synergies. Based on an evaluation of post-transfer capacity benefits and product portfolio optimization effects, the estimated recovery period for this machinery and equipment investment is approximately 14.35 years. Projected future profitability and benefit details are summarized in the table below:

Upon evaluation, we consider the underlying assumptions to be consistent with the Company's long-term development strategy, and we deem the projected benefits to be reasonable.
(4)Impact of the plan change on shareholder equity
This plan change has been made to align with the Company's strategic transformation. In connection with the disposal of the Tongluo Fab, the Company has also decided to terminate the original construction project of the Tongluo Fab. This action will enhance asset allocation efficiency and improve asset turnover, while alleviating adverse impacts from depreciation on earnings. The Company intends to leverage this opportunity to reorganize our resources, eliminate underperforming production lines, and shift toward product portfolios with higher growth momentum, thereby mitigating risks associated with fluctuations in the mature-process market. Overall, these measures will help strengthen the Company's financial structure, enhance the efficiency of resource utilization, and have a positive impact on shareholder equity.
