I. Report to the Shareholders
The spread of the new coronavirus in 2020 caused a huge tsunami-like wave on the economies of various countries. The global jewelry industry and terminal consumption patterns have also undergone significant changes. As a global light luxury jewelry manufacturer, Regal Holdings faces many unfavorable impact of external factors, as a trial for company’s team, with the efforts of all the colleagues, we deepen the cooperation with Omni-channel customers externally, strengthen employees' hygiene and safety education internally, and gradually optimize the production process to reduce costs, while focusing on the improvement of product quality and the research and development of high-level skills. Profits for the whole year turn from loss to profit. Although there are still many uncertainties in the global market in 2021, we believe that Regal Holdings can still maintain in good condition and create new successes to provide customers and global consumers with higher quality products.
The consolidated operating income of Regal Holdings for 2020 was NT$1,765,557 thousand, a year-on-year decrease of 2.42%; the consolidated net profit after tax was NT$ 97,648 thousand, and the earnings per share was NT$2.31. From the perspective of the jewelry processing income portfolio, metalworking revenue increased by approximately 14.23% annually, and plating revenue decreased by approximately 15.15% annually. In addition, the gross profit margin of metalworking processing increased from 10.69% in the previous year to 25.52% in 2020, mainly due to cost control. However, the gross profit margin of plating processing decreased from 17.21% in the previous year to 10.80%. This is mainly due to the continuous increase in the price of precious metals in 2020 and therefore dilute the gross profit margin.
In order to effectively increase profitability, in addition to strengthening the monthly production line manpower estimation and adjustment mechanism, Regal Holdings has introduced small and medium-sized production lines to obtain more orders for a small number but high-margin products from Z generation. In addition, through A-Team's crossdepartmental teamwork, the success rate of new product development in 2020 has been effectively increased by more than 50%, and the overall operating expense rate has also been reduced by 13.17% under strict control. Furthermore, in response to the continuous easing of monetary policies in various countries, the exchange rate and the price of precious metals fluctuate sharply. Regal Holdings will continue to use a conservative hedging strategy to dynamically adjust to the most appropriate position for risk management and control, and hope to reduce the uncertainty caused by financial costs to profits to its lowest level.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management team, I sincerely thank all the shareholders of Regal Holdings for their trust under many challenges. In 2021, we will continue to lead the company forward and strive to create new growth opportunities for the company and customers. We also hope that all shareholders will continue giving support and encouragement, thank you.

C. Risk Matters
1. The risk of macroeconomics, political economy environment, foreign exchange and regulations.
The registered office of the Company shall be at the Cayman Islands and the major operation place of the company is Thailand. Therefore, the Company's operation is affected by the changes in macroeconomics and political environment and foreign exchange volatility of the registered place and the operation place.
2. Risk of guarantee of shareholder rights
- The laws of registered place, Cayman Islands, of the Company have many different places with the ones of Republic of China. Without contradicting the laws of Cayman Islands, the Company has amended the Articles of the Company in accordance with “Checklist for the protection of shareholders' rights and interests of foreign issuers” of Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation. However, there are still many differences between local laws and regulations of two countries on the company’s operation. Investors cannot use the protection views of the ROC companies’ legal rights to apply them to the Cayman Islands’ companies they invest in. Investors shall fully understand and consult with experts whether it can obtain effective shareholder rights protection by investing Cayman Islands’ companies.

However, for modern customers, using jewelry to beautify life has becoming a fashionable way. Wearing jewelry is not only represented personal style, fashion, and trends, but also with practical and aesthetic. Recently, with the rotation of the era wheel and popularity of mobile technology, the jewelry industry has well market development.

Therefore, to gaining a price advantage for profit is crucial for jewelry brands. The brand shall have not only uniqueness and high-quality image but also the price-set capabilities to attract general consuming market. In the global jewelry markets, the competitions between small and major participants are fierce. The major participants make sure their long-term status in the jewelry market by some critical strategies (such as strategical acquisition and mergers, products innovation, partnerships, joint ventures, and expansion of territory.) The most important strategy is to build jewelry brands by means of cooperation or mergers and acquisitions to enhance added value.

A. Definition of jewelry boutique industry
According to the 2016 Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) compiled by Morgan Stanley (MSCI) and Standard & Poor's (Standard & Poor's), the full name of the boutique industry is "Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods), its main products include designer handbags, wallets, suitcases, jewelry and watches, etc. Among them, the fine jewelry products was defined as the products produced by the original unpolished gems, precious metals or other items are designed, processed, produced and packaged.

The growth momentum of the global luxury goods industry mainly comes from the rise of China, tourism business opportunities, product price strategies, government policy support, product personalization, and the rise of e-commerce. These elements promote the rapid growth of the market, including women’s shoes and apparel, jewelry, cosmetics, and bags. Meanwhile, millennial consumers have gradually become the target of the market. According to World Data Lab's surveys, the overall annual income of millennials born between 1980 and 1990 has reached 12.88 trillion U.S. dollars in 2018, officially surpassing other generations. Ogilvy & Mather has released a research report on the new Chinese generation's consumption of luxury brands, pointing out that Chinese millennials have a huge desire to buy luxury goods. The research also reports that the proportion of China's total consumption by 19-30 year olds will increase from the 45% in 2016 to 53% in 2020. The millennial generation’s strong consumption power is attracting the attention of businesses, causing the luxury goods industry to accelerate its tilt towards the millennial generation. As such, most businesses are positioning their target consumers at the age of 18-30. Even though the 20-year-old consumer group is not the richest, most of them are funded by their parents and elders. Many young people have a strong spending power on high-priced goods and are willing to invest money in fashion and luxury goods. They also pay attention to fashion and trends, pursue personalized expressions, and do not necessarily buy "classic models". Instead, they prefer to pursue products that match their own tastes and styles. Therefore, luxury goods businesses are constantly changing and rapidly launching trendy products with lower prices to meet the preferences of millennial consumers. Bain & Company estimates that the global personal luxury goods market will in a continued growth trajectory of 3% to 5% per year through 2025, for a total market value of EUR 335 billion to EUR 375 billion.

In terms of product categories, jewelry products can be divided into four main categories: necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets (chains) and others. According to the Statista report, necklaces and rings are the bulk of the market share in 2018, both of which accounted for the total is about 31%, earrings account for about 19%, and bracelets account for about 17%. Necklaces and rings are the most common products during the wedding, also show up high demand on engagement or commemorative festivals, and diamond-encrusted necklace sets are usually expensive among them. In addition, due to the increasing purchasing power of consumers, pendants, rings and earrings are often used as gifts. Meanwhile, men's rings and earrings are becoming more popular, and consumers are interested in the complex design and details of the ring.

Because of the uniqueness and personalization of jewelry, the price gap is quite huge. The price of top-level jewelry is much higher than entry-level jewelry, but entry-level jewelry (Premium) plays a very important role in the overall sales market., its sales value accounted for more than half of the overall jewelry industry, diamond jewelry (Diamond) accounted for about 24%, and top jewelry (Luxury) only accounted for about 7.6%. From the sales structure, we know that the revenue and profit of jewelry mainly come from the sales of entry-level jewelry products, not from high-priced gem products. Therefore, the development of entry-level products to make them trendy, fashionable and unique, and supplemented by brand advantages, will be more able to drive profitable growth.

Among them, the products that integrate fashion and trends in design with brand also gradually penetrate into the entire jewelry industry by focusing on entry-level jewelry products that are customizable and can quickly respond to fashion trends.

In the future, besides continuously accumulating experience and knowledge of jewelry manufacture, the Company will make products more personalized and customized by combining aesthetic designs and craft art skills as a basis for constantly innovation.
- (2) Focus on design features
With the change of consumption habits, the young people nowadays prefer personalized and refined products which are sophisticated, small, delicate, not over-designed, and complied with invigorating colors. The whole piece of jewelry that are more vivid and eye-catching simplified styles are more attracted to working women. Fashionable jewelry that emphasizes design senses and personal tastes cater to the mid and high-end consumer purchase intention. Therefore, the emphasis on designing the jewelry can give consumers a lively, interesting, fashionable and expensive atmosphere, and combine jewelry with life to exude personal taste.
- (3) Leading fashion trends
The predication of fashion trends and accuracy and immediacy of information acquisition are relatively important in jewelry boutique industry, in order to offer clients important basis for the latest product selection and to enhance the tightness of supply and demand between the two parties, so as to maintain good relations and interaction. The Company
90
collects information of jewelry and accessories by jewelry fairs and fashion newsletters, fashionable products, such as glue crystal products, bead jewelry that can be changed at will, new metal jewelry styles and wax on stone styles, etc. The Company plans new design drawings every year and introduce new products for customers to choose every quarter and feedbacks customers the latest information based on the principle of customization.
d. Competition
The company is in the fashion industry, the product changes quickly and the style is various. Although there are many manufacturers of jewelry, most of them are small processing factories, and most of them are based on imitating the products that cannot lead the trends. However, the company avoids highly competitive consumer markets, focusing on a small number of customized niche markets. In addition to producing refined jewelry, the Company also provides customized service. The Company introduces design drawings for customers to choose and produced by master craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship. For example, the company is favored by internationally renowned jewelry boutiques, and the rose-gold series and K-gold products are the best examples. Therefore, the manufacturers without foresight of design abilities, exquisite craftsmanship, and flexibilities of producing skills are difficult to survive in competition. Therefore, as far as the Company is concerned, there is still room for growth in the future.

c. Demand and supply conditions for the market in the future and the market's growth potential During the process of branding, the jewelry industry is also facing challenges by the modern technology development and differences of consuming types (Van Gelder, 2005).
-
(1) Convenience of Technology- the dominance of modern virtual channels in jewelry market With the growing popularity of modern mobile technology and the Internet, the development of online virtual channels lets the jewelry market no longer only use simple offline physical channels in the past. In the past, offline physical channels dominated mainly because most of customers relied on physical channels to purchase jewelry. With the advancement of times and technology, online virtual channels will be in the state of rapid growth. Customers who can use technology well will more intend to buy jewelry online. Most brands have advantages in easily paying functions, returning policies, and customer service which are provided by electronics retailers. While doing the structure of jewelry brands, the corporation must gain an important competitive advantage and differentiate it from competitors to enhance competitiveness and brand equity for jewelry brands.
-
(2) Change of consuming types- counterfeit products invade in the jewelry market Problems of counterfeit products are worthy of attention in the jewelry industry (Olsen, JE, Granzin, KL, 1992; Carty, 1994). While the supply sides downsize the cost of production, the price advantages of product can be raised naturally, and it promotes customers can easily acquire products to satisfy their own interests. However, in the market where information asymmetry, online virtual channels have concerns about purchasing. Whenever there are counterfeit or imitate brands, customers are hard to distinguish, which leads them to distrust online virtual channels and products’ qualities. Besides, the invasion of counterfeit products in jewelry shall not be underestimated. When customers have limited budget, in order to pursue of great utility and satisfaction, they will make more adjustments in the allocation of their resources. Even if consumers are unable to distinguish between counterfeit products and real products, they will increase their willingness to purchase counterfeit products.
-
(3) The disadvantage of the image of the source countries - the sorrow of emerging countries In the supply chains of jewelry, products are mainly manufactured by emerging countries’ OEM and sold through brands. In the long run, profits of brands are much larger than
95
OEM foundries. If OEM foundries want to have more profits, they need to create additional value by establishing brands. However, in the past, products made by emerging countries were considered low-quality and counterfeit products. For those OEM foundries which want to establish jewelry brands, this is at a disadvantage. The image of source countries will hinder the actual sales growth of jewelry and damage the original brands’ values (Ko et.al, 2009).
The source countries of the jewelry brands on the market are mostly new countries with sophisticated craftsmanship and fashionable design. Customers can ensure products’ qualities, looks, and design styles by what they recognized brands’ countries image. Therefore, while establishing jewelry brands, OEM foundries in emerging countries will face the impact of source countries’ images and huge challenges of customers’ doubts. d. Competitive niche

-
(2) Negative factors and Responses
-
i. Price fluctuation of raw materials
As the main production materials of the jewelry industry are precious metals, the price is subject to fluctuations in international market conditions, which easily affects production costs and quotations, thus creating operational risks. Response:
When the Company undertakes clients’ orders, the quotations will be after referring to the most recent raw material market price to reduce the risk of raw material cost change. In addition, the Company will also monitor the raw material market and adjust the safety stocks in a timely manner in response to market trends in order to meet the risk of fluctuations in the prices of raw materials.
- ii. Increase of labor costs
Jewelry boutique industry is a labor- and skill-intensive industry. Skilled master craftsmen are not easy to train. After the increase of basic wage of Thailand in 2013, along with the improvement of Thailand’s economy and the increased demands of job markets, it has exerted certain pressure on the Company’s operation.
Responses:
Due to the jewelry industry still emphasizes on craftsmanship texture by handmade, the Company has divided the manufacture procedures into 8 major parts and introduced automated production and improved manufacture procedures in some production processes. By appropriate skills separations, it can reduce the dependency of craftsmen in order to lower the risks of increasing salary.
iii. Sales are centralized
The biggest client of the Company is now the leading brand in jewelry boutique markets and its products are beloved by customers and its revenues increase year by
98
year. The Company is an important supplier to this client, which has led to the Company's sales centralization.

Note 3: The data has not been annualized.
Note 4: The calculation formulas of financial analysis are as followings:
-
Capital Structure
-
(1) Debt ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets
-
(2) Long-term fund to fixed assets ratio = (Shareholders' Equity + Long-term Liabilities) / Net Properties
-
Liquidity
-
(1) Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
-
(2) Quick ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories – Prepaid Expenses) / Current Liabilities
-
(3) Interest guarantee (times) = Earnings before Interest and Taxes / Interest Expenses
-
Operating Performance
-
(1) Average collection turnover = Net Sales / Average Trade Receivables
-
(2) Average collection days = 365 / Receivables Turnover rate
-
(3) Average inventory turnover = Cost of Sales / Average inventory
-
(4) Average payment turnover = Cost of Sales / Average Trade Payables
-
(5) Average inventory turnover days = 365 / Inventory Turnover rate
-
(6) Fixed assets turnover = Net Sales / Average Net Properties
-
(7) Total assets turnover = Net Sales / Average Total Assets
-
Profitability
-
(1) Return on total assets = {Net Income + Interest Expenses * (1 – Effective tax rate)} / Average Total Assets
-
(2) Return on total stockholders' equity = Net Income / Average Shareholders' Equity
-
(3) Net income to sales = Net Income / Net Sales
-
(4) Earnings per share = (Net Income – Preferred Stock Dividend) / Weighted Average Number of Share Outstanding
-
Cash flow
-
(1) Cash flow ratio = Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities / Current Liabilities
-
(2) Cash flow adequacy ratio = Five-year sum of cash from operations / Five-year sum of capital expenditures, inventory additions, and cash dividends.
-
(3) Cash flow reinvestment ratio = (Cash Provided by Operating Activities – Cash Dividends) / (Gross Plant + Investment + Other Assets + Working Capital)
-
Leverage
-
(1) Operating leverage = (Net Sales – Variable Cost) / Income from Operations
-
(2) Financial leverage = Income from Operations / (Income from Operations – Interest Expenses)

The increase in retained earnings in 2020 is mainly due to the profit of NTD 88,343 thousand in 2020. 3. The decrease in other rights and interests in 2020 was mainly due to the depreciation of the Thai baht against the NTD, the reduction of the conversion difference of the financial statements of foreign operating institutions by NTD 47,405 thousand, and the loss of the recognized investment company by NTD 11,318 thousand. |

| Year 2019 | Year 2019 | Year 2020 | Year 2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amount | ratio of net values | Amount | ratio of net values | |

1. As for the part that shareholders convene meetings on his/their own, there is no special term about it in Cayman Islands’ Company Act. Therefore, the Article 19.6 and 19.7 of the Articles of Association does not regulate the shareholders to report to the competent authority for permission before convening the shareholders' temporary meeting. 2. Besides, if the shareholders are going to convene meeting outside of the territory of R.O.C. on their own, they do not need to report to the competent authority for permission before convening the shareholders' temporary meeting. Therefore, the Article 19.6 and 19.7 of the Articles of Association only regulates that the meeting shall be reported to GTSM or TWSE (as applicable in its case) for approval instead of “the application of approval of Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation must be submitted in two days after shareholders obtain the permission from authorized governments.” In thispart,there should have no substantial |

1.About the methods of resolutions of shareholders’ meetings, except the regular resolutions and supermajority resolutions, the Article 1.1 states the definition of Special Resolution of Cayman Islands’ Company Laws, is a resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company by a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by such Members who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by their proxies, or, in the case of Members that are corporations or other non- natural person, by their duly authorized representatives by computing the number of votes to which each Member is entitled. 2.According to the regulation of Cayman Islands’ Company Laws, the followings should be adopted by special resolutions: (1) modification or alteration the Company’s Articles of Association According to Cayman Islands laws, modification or alteration the Company’s Articles of Association shall be adopted by special resolutions. Therefore, in Article 12.1 of the Company’s Articles of Association, the thresholds of resolutions have been modified rather than changing to supermajority resolutions complied with “Checklist for the Protection of Shareholders' Equity of Foreign Issuers.” Besides,in Article 13 of the |

Company’s Articles of Association, if any modification or alteration in the Articles is prejudicial to the preferential rights of any class of shares, such modification or alteration shall be adopted by a Special Resolution and shall also be adopted by a Special Resolution passed at a separate meeting of Members of that class of shares. (2) Dissolution: According to Cayman Islands’ Law, if the Company resolves that it be wound up voluntarily because the Company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, the resolution of dissolution shall be adopted by shareholders’ meetings. However, if the Company is wound up voluntarily for reasons other than above ones, the dissolution shall be resolved by Special Resolution in accordance with Cayman Islands’ Company Act. Therefore, in Article 12.4(a) of the Company’s Articles of Association, the thresholds of resolutions of dissolution of the Company voluntarily due to unable to pay the debts as they fall due have been modified rather than changing to supermajority resolutions complied with “Checklist for the Protection of Shareholders' Equity of Foreign Issuers.” (3) Consolidation or merger: The voting methods of engaging “within the definition of "merger" and/or "consolidation" under the Law” are mandatory provision in Cayman Islands’ CompanyAct.

This kind of difference is because of the Cayman Islands laws. Since the matters shall be adopted by supermajority resolutions in important matters of protection of shareholders’ equity are regulated to supermajority resolutions and special resolutions respectively in the Company’s Articles of Association, the Articles of Association shall have a limited impact on shareholders' equityin thispart. |

against a director of the Company in Article 214 of Company Act, R.O.C. In Article 48.3 of the Articles of Association, to the extent permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands, Members continuously holding one per cent (1%) or more of the total issued shares of the Company for over six months or longer may: (a) request in writing the Board to authorize any Independent Director of the Audit Committee to file a petition with the Taipei District Court, ROC for and on behalf of the Company against any of the Directors; or (b) request in writing any Independent Director of the Audit Committee to file a petition for and on behalf of the Company against any of the Directors; the petition may be filed with the Taipei District Court, ROC as the court of the first instance; or the Member(s) may, to the extent permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands, file a petition with the Taipei District Court, ROC for and on behalf of the Company against the relevant Directors within thirty (30) days after such Member(s) having made the request under the preceding clause (a) or (b) if (i) in the case of clause (a), the Board fails to make such authorization or the Independent Director of the Audit Committee having been authorized by the Board fails to file such petition, or (ii) in the case of clause (b), the Independent Director of the Audit Committee fails to file such petition. However, according to Cayman Islands’ regulations, about the above regulations, Cayman Islands’ lawyers remind the followings: The Company Act of Cayman Islands does not have specific regulation to allow minority shareholders institute an action against a director of the Company. The Articles of |
136
| Material matters of protection of shareholder equity |
Articles of Association and reasons of differences |
|---|---|
| Association is not a contract between shareholders and directors, but an agreement between shareholders and the Company. Therefore, even though the Articles allows minority shareholders to institute an action against directors, the Cayman Islands’ lawyers think this will not be able to bond directors. However, under the regular laws, all shareholders (including minority shareholders), no matter what his/her share hold percentage is or how long he/she holds shares, have the right to request to institute an action (including against a director). Once shareholders institute an action, the Cayman Islands’ court have the full power to decide whether the shareholders can continue the lawsuit. Repeatedly, even though the Articles of Association allow minority shareholders (or shareholders with the required shareholding ratio or shareholding period), institute an action against a director on behalf of the Company; however, the continuation of the lawsuit will ultimately depend on the decision of the Cayman Islands court. According to the relevant judgment of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, when the Cayman Islands courts consider whether to approve the continuation of derivative proceedings, the applicable criterion is whether the Cayman Islands courts believe and accept that the plaintiff’s request on behalf of the company is ostensibly substantive. The wrongdoings claimed by the company are controlled by the controllable company, and the controllers can prevent the company from litigating it. According to the Cayman Islands’ Laws, the Board of Directors shall act on behalf of the Company as a whole (not individual directors) to make decisions. Therefore, |
137
| Material matters of protection of shareholder equity |
Articles of Association and reasons of differences |
|---|---|
| directors shall follow the resolution of the Board of Directors to authorize any director on behalf of the Company according to the Articles of Association to file the charge to other directors. The Company Act of Cayman Islands does not regulate that shareholders may request directors of the company to convene board of directors’ meetings to resolute specific matters. However, the Company Act of Cayman Islands does not prohibit the company from establishing Articles of Association and relevant rules of procedures of board meetings (including the regulations of conveningboard meetings.) |
|
| 1. Directors of the Company shall have the loyalty and shall exercise the due care of a good administrator in conducting the business operation of the company; and if he/she has acted contrary to this provision, shall be liable for the damages to be sustained by the company there-from. In case the responsible person of a company does anything for himself/herself or on behalf of another person in violation of the behaviors, the meeting of shareholders may, by a resolution, consider the earnings in such an act as earnings of the company 2. If directors of the Company have, in the course of conducting the business operations, violated any provision of the applicable laws and/or regulations and thus caused damage to any other person, he/she shall be liable, jointly and severally, for the damage to such other person. 3. The managers and supervisors, acting within the scope of their duties, shall also be liable for the damages, same as the directors of the Company. |
In the Article 48.4 of the Articles of Association, “Without prejudice and subject to the general directors’ duties that a Director owe to the Company and its shareholders under common law principals and the laws of the Cayman Islands, a Director shall perform his fiduciary duties of loyalty and due care of a good administrator in the course of conducting the Company’s business, and shall indemnify the Company, to the maximum extent legally permissible, from any loss incurred or suffered by the Company arising from breach of his fiduciary duties. If a Director has made any profit for the benefit of himself or any third party as a result of any breach of his fiduciary duties, the Company shall, if so resolved by the Members by way of an Ordinary Resolution, take all such actions and steps as may be appropriate and to the maximum extent legally permissible to seek to recover such profit from such relevant Director. If a Director has, in the course of conducting the Company’s business, violated any laws or regulations that causes the Company to become liable for any compensation or damages to any person, such Director shall becomejointlyand severally |

| liable for such compensation or damages with the Company and if any reason such Director is not made jointly and severally liable with the Company, such Director shall indemnify the Company for any loss incurred or suffered by the Company caused by a breach of duties by such Director. The Officers, in the course of performing their duties to the Company, shall assume such duties and obligations to indemnify the Company in the same manner as if they are Directors.” However, according to Cayman Islands’ regulations, about the above regulations, Cayman Islands’ lawyers remind the followings: In Cayman Island’s law, generally speaking, managers or supervisors do not take the same responsibilities as the company’s directors to the company or shareholders. However, if managers or supervisors are authorized to represent top- level executives, they shall share the same responsibilities as the company’s directors. For the avoidance of doubt, companies in Cayman Islands generally regulate the managers’ or supervisors’ responsibilities and obligations to companies and shareholders in their service contracts. For the same reason, because the company’s Articles of Association is the agreement between shareholders and the company, managers or supervisors are not litigants of the company’s Articles of Association. Therefore, any penalty of damages that claims to managers or supervisors who violate their obligations shall be regulated in their service contracts. From the prospect of Cayman Island’s law, the company’s Articles of Association is the agreement between shareholders and the applying company and directors of the applying company are not litigants of the company’s Articles of Association,so lawyers of Cayman |

|---|---|
| Islands think the Articles of Association do not have bonding force to directors. If the company wants to make the relevant clauses have a contractual effect on the directors, lawyers of Cayman Islands think the company shall regulate relevant rights in contracts with individual directors,such as service contracts. |
