2022 Business Report
Foreword
In the post-pandemic era, as economies around the world restart and life gradually returns to normal, the global economy was expected to continue to recover in 2022. However, the Russo-Ukrainian War broke out in the first quarter, resulting in surging prices of energy and materials around the world. Moreover, China implemented the strict lock-down measure in the second quarter due to an outbreak in coastal provinces, which had an impact on global supply chains. The financial market, on the other hand, saw worsened fluctuations because of raising interest rate rapidly and QE tapering since March 2022 of the Fed in order to curb inflation.
The garment industry also suffered fluctuations in 2022 due to hidden concerns such as inflation of commodity prices and terminal consumption demand impacted by the sluggish economy. In the post-pandemic era, lives in respective countries are gradually returning to normal, with increased outdoor and sporting activities. Outdoor and sporting brands in Europe and America also had inventories dropped to a relatively low level as a result of the supply chain crisis over the past two years. The demand for outdoor and sporting wears was strong. The inflation in the second half of the year, however, impacted consumer spending power. Concerns over adjustments of inventories for some brands surfaced.
In 2022, the Company was favored by respective brand customers who placed an expanded orders. Business has thrived, unaffected by market fluctuations, mainly due to the Company’s high-end and functional clothing products in the mid-to-high price range, which are less likely impacted by inflation. Additionally, in the aftermath of the pandemic, manufacturers who were able to adapt and adjust quickly have gained favor with brand customers and increased their orders. Product development and technicality, OEM quality, and lead-time are all competitive niches of the Company. The challenge resulted in the tendency of “The winner takes it all and the powerful remain powerful” in the garment supply chain.
For the overall economic outlook in 2023, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts that the global inflation rate in 2023 is estimated to be 6.5%, a slight reduction compared to 8.8% in 2022; nevertheless, it is higher than 4.7% in 2021. Market expects that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would continue to raise the interest rate in the first half of the year to curb inflation, while the threat of economic regression remains. Despite the pressurization from overall economic factors in the business outlook, the Company will continue to focus on its mainstream, with increased control over costs and risks. Besides maintaining partnerships with existing brand owners, the Company will proactively deploy among new brand owners to bring about purchase orders and also continue to optimize the portfolio and decentralize product categories. The drastic differences between high and low seasons in prior operations are likely to be played down. For the coming two years, continuous expansions of the production site in Jordan are planned as well. The reinvestments in Romania BSP, King Hamm, and Xingxing Garments in Mainland China can also steadily contribute to the profits of the Company. The overall operational scale of the Group is constantly expanding.

NT$1,176,153,000 of net profit in 2022 was attributable to owners of the Company, representing an 86.54% increase over the NT$630,502,000 in 2021. All of the operational performance indicators of 2022 grew compared to those in 2021 as a result of the powerful demand of end consumers for outdoor and sporting garments thanks to the gradual resumption of lives and increased outdoor and sporting activities in the post-pandemic era.

Business plan
-
Explore new customers: In addition to maintaining long-term business relationship with top-contributing customers, the Company will also take the initiative to develop sustainable relationship with 1-2 world-renowned brands for better diversification of business risks.
-
Optimize production efficiency and quality: Management of the Company shall continue adopting best management practices and ERP to reduce production cost, raise production efficiency and capacity, and upgrade automated production equipment and interactive information systems. Through improvements in terms of internal management, operating procedures, internal audit, and internal control, the Company aims to raise competitiveness at the group level.
-
Development of upstream supply chain partners: After taking into consideration the quality of goose down and duck down, the volatility of feather prices, the exchange rate volatility, and risks of shortage and supply disruption worldwide, the Company has created a
9
fully automated, quality-oriented feather factory (Top One Down & Feather Shu Yang Co., Ltd.) in Mainland China, world's major supplier of feathers. This production facility will help improve the quality of down garments, minimize disruption of materials supply, and provide control over production costs, thereby allowing the Company to stay competitive in the business.
- Continued Decentralization of Product Categories: The Company continued to devote itself to decentralizing product categories, bringing about purchase orders for textiles, and improving competitive niches. Besides the ability to provide existing brand owners with OEM service on a variety of items to reinforce existing customer engagement, the Company will continue to secure purchase orders from new brand owners as well so that differences between operational high and low seasons of the Group can be gradually played down. The operational scale will also grow each year while development of textiles persists.
Research and development projects
-
Collaborative development with key customers: The Company has long been working with customers on research and development projects that yield mutual benefits. The business teams at Taipei Headquarters and overseas plants have proven themselves not only capable of exploring new customers, but competent at transferring knowledge, experience, and technology as well. This accumulation of know-how is what allows the Company to assist customers in the development of technologically advanced and highly functional down garments and fiberfill garments. Furthermore, the Company has been certified by U.S. company Gore to be capable of developing a wide variety of products for customers.
-
Development of innovative templates: The Company has a global R&D team that is dedicated to developing garment templates that yield the best production efficiency, production capacity, and product quality, which in turn strengthens brand owners' attachment to the Company. The Company has also been exploring innovation with respect to template development in order to support production of technologically advanced products such as: Patagonia Micro Puff, The North Face's next-generation ThermoBall, and Mammut Photics HS Thermo.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Quang Viet Enterprise Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Quang Viet Enterprise Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 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 Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by 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 Group 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, 2022. 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.
12
The key audit matter of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 is described as follows:
Validity of Revenue Recognized from Specific Customers
The Group’s main source of revenue is the sale of garment products. Since the customer base is highly concentrated, the validity of revenue recognized from main customers meets certain criteria has been identified as a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4 (o) of the consolidated financial statements for the related accounting policies.
Our main audit procedures performed in response to the aforementioned key audit matter are as follows:
-
We understood the internal controls related to revenue recognized from customers, evaluated the design of the controls and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls.
-
We performed substantive tests of details of revenue.
-
We checked for significant sales returns after the reporting periods, took samples and validated that revenue was reasonably recognized in the appropriate reporting periods.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Quang Viet Enterprise Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 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, 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.
13
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 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 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 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 and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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 control that we identify during our audit.
14
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, 2022, 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 Yi-Chen Lu and Yi-Min Huang.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Quang Viet Enterprise Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Quang Viet Enterprise Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and other regulations.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by 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 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
22
The key audit matter of the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 is described as follows:
Validity of Revenue Recognized from Specific Customers
The Company’s main source of revenue is the sale of garment products. Since the customer base is highly concentrated, the validity of revenue recognized from main customers meets certain criteria has been identified as a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4 (l) of the financial statements for the related accounting policies.
Our main audit procedures performed in response to the aforementioned key audit matter are as follows:
-
We understood the internal controls related to revenue recognized from customers, evaluated the design of the controls and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls.
-
We performed substantive tests of details of revenue.
-
We checked for significant sales returns after the reporting periods, took samples and validated that revenue was reasonably recognized in the appropriate reporting periods.
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 other regulations, 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.
Auditors’ 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 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 financial statements.
- 23 -
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 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 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 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 and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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 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 for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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 chair should call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time and disclose information concerning the number of nonvoting shares and number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting.
However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned.

- Article 10. If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors. Votes shall be cast on each separate proposal in the agenda (including extraordinary motions and amendments to the original proposals set out in the agenda). The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders meeting.
The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the board of directors. The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, the other members of the board of directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting.
-
Article 11. Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair.
-
A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.
42
Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violation.
When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal.
After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
- Article 12. Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares. With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Company, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.
- Article 13. A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
When the Company holds a shareholder meeting, it shall adopt exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt exercise of voting rights by correspondence. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting; it is therefore advisable that the Company avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals.
A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company before two days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.
43
After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person or online, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to the Company, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before two business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. Where exercise of voting right is restricted by laws or Articles of Incorporation, any vote exceeding the restriction shall be excluded from calculation. A proposal is considered passed if the chair receives no objections from any attendees. This voting method is deemed as effective as does the conventional ballot method. The results of resolution(s) shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and recorded in the meeting minutes. When resolving through votes, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company. Vote counting for shareholders meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.
- Article 14. The election of directors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the applicable election and appointment rules adopted by the Company, and the voting results shall be announced on-site immediately, including the names of those elected as directors and the numbers of votes with which they were elected, and the names of directors not elected and number of votes they received.
The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
- Article 15. Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes. The meeting minutes shall be signed or sealed by the chair of the meeting
44
and a copy distributed to each shareholder within 20 days after the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting minutes may be produced and distributed in electronic form. The Company may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the MOPS.
The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the chair's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their voting results (including the number of voting rights), and disclose the number of voting rights won by each candidate in the event of an election of directors. The minutes shall be retained for the duration of the existence of the Company.
-
Article 16. On the day of a shareholders meeting, the Company shall compile in the prescribed format a statistical statement of the number of shares obtained by solicitors through solicitation and the number of shares represented by proxies, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at the place of the shareholders meeting.
-
If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (or Taipei Exchange Market) regulations, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.
-
Article 17. Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders meeting shall wear identification cards or arm bands.
-
The chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to help maintain order at the meeting place. When proctors or security personnel help maintain order at the meeting place, they shall wear an identification card or armband bearing the word "Proctor."
At the place of a shareholders meeting, if a shareholder attempts to speak through any device other than the public address equipment set up by the Company, the chair may prevent the shareholder from so doing.
When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chair's correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.
- Article 18. When a meeting is in progress, the chair may announce a break based on time considerations. If a force majeure event occurs, the chair may rule the meeting temporarily suspended and announce a time when, in view of the circumstances, the meeting will be resumed.
If the meeting venue is no longer available for continued use and not all of the items (including extraordinary motions) on the meeting agenda have been addressed, the shareholders meeting may adopt a resolution to resume the meeting at another venue.
-
A resolution may be adopted at a shareholders meeting to defer or resume the meeting within five days in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act.
-

The above profit may also have no more than 2% allocated to director remuneration, subject to board of directors' resolution. Employee and director remuneration proposals are subject to board of directors' special resolution and shall be reported in shareholders' meeting. However, profits must first be reserved to offset against cumulative losses, if any, before the remainder can be distributed as employee/director remuneration in the above percentages. The profit mentioned in Paragraph 1 shall refer to pre-tax profit before employees' and directors' remuneration in the current year.

Article 26-1:
-
Annual surpluses concluded by the Company are first subject to taxation and reimbursement of previous losses, followed by a 10% provision for legal reserves; however, no further provision is needed when legal reserves have accumulated to the same amount as the Company's paid-up capital. Any surpluses remaining shall then be subject to provision or reversal of special reserves, as the laws may require. The residual balance can then be added to undistributed earnings carried from previous years and distributed as shareholder dividends or retained at board of directors' proposal, subject to resolution in a shareholders' meeting.
-
Article 27: The Company's dividend policy has been established to accommodate current and future development plans after taking into consideration the investment environment, capital requirement, domestic/foreign competition, and shareholders' interests. No less than 40% of distributable earnings shall be paid as dividend each year, but the Company may decide to withhold earnings if the amount of distributable earnings is less than 5% of paid-up capital. Dividends can be paid in cash or in shares, with cash dividends amounting to no less than 20% of total dividends. However, the form and percentage of dividends may be adjusted depending on the Company's profitability and liquidity, subject to resolution in a shareholders' meeting.
