1. Report to the Shareholders
2024 was a year filled with challenges and recovery. Industry conditions are expected to improve compared to the previous year, but the recovery speed will be slow. While the interest rate hike cycle of European and American central banks has ended and rate cuts have begun, inflation will not return to the low levels of the past. Interest rates will remain high, and the effects of inflation will continue to impact the consumer market, resulting in a loss for Regal Holdings after the year-end settlement .
1. Operating Report of the year of 2024
-
(1) Operating Results
-
Regal Holdings' consolidated revenue for 2024 amounted to NT$1,779,375 thousand, a 55% increase compared to the previous year. The consolidated net loss after tax was NT$-57,291 thousand, with a loss per share of NT$-1.56.
-
(2) Budget Execution Status
- The company did not disclose its financial forecast for 2024, so there is no need to disclose the budget execution status.
-
(3) Financial Income and Expenditure, and Profitability Analysis
-
In terms of the jewelry processing revenue composition, the metalworking revenue increased by approximately 47% year-on-year, and the gross profit margin for metalworking processing improved from 2.82% in the previous year to 13.17% in 2024. This improvement was mainly due to an increase in order volume, which helped reduce the unit cost of products. The electroplating revenue grew by approximately 56%, and the gross profit margin for electroplating processing increased from 2.13% in the previous year to 8.23% in 2024. This was primarily due to the contribution of high-margin orders and effective control over precious metal procurement costs.
-
(4) Research and Development Status
-
To maintain innovation capabilities and strengthen competitive advantages, the company is implementing an intellectual property management plan. In the future, we will continue to enhance product design development and apply for related intellectual property rights. For more details, please refer to the "Technology and R&D Overview" and "Intellectual Property Management Plan and Implementation Status" sections of the annual report.
2. Operating Plan of the year of 2025
- (1) Produc tion and Sales Policy: Control Production Costs and Expand New Customer Base
To effectively reduce costs, Regal Holdings will continue to strengthen the adjustment mechanism between monthly orders and workforce allocation on production lines. At the same time, we are constantly upgrading the group's hardware and software to
1
improve departmental efficiency, while also considering the current industry situation and future outlook to appropriately adjust the total number of employees. In response to our key customers' strategy of increasing in-house production capacity and outsourcing high-difficulty craftsmanship products, we will continue to streamline production processes, eliminate unnecessary steps, and expand our customer base and product categories. Additionally, to mitigate the risks posed by international exchange rates, we will continue to dynamically adjust our hedging strategy and manage risk to minimize the impact of financial costs on profitability.
(2) Expected Sales Volume
Regal Holdings will focus on factory stability and cost control to respond to external challenges while maintaining competitiveness. In addition to retaining existing customers, we are also actively developing new customers. Looking ahead, we are prepared for the future and expect that sales revenue and volume in 2025 will have opportunities for growth compared to 2024.
- (3) Business Strategy: External Plans and Internal Management
In 2025, under the backdrop of slowing growth in major economies, the global economy will still benefit from the recovery of international trade and industry structural adjustments. Regal Holdings will adhere to its vision of becoming "the most valuable jewelry company in the world" by continuing to focus on innovation, flexibility, and sustainability. We will drive business development and internal optimization, while striving to maintain a leading position in the highly competitive market.
Our annual business plan will focus on the following four strategic directions:

(2) Enhance the market insight capabilities of the business team by leveraging data analysis and competitive intelligence to quickly grasp market trends and formulate precise strategies. Actively develop potential high-end customer segments.
-
(3) Participate in international jewelry exhibitions and trade negotiations to enhance brand visibility and establish more cross-border collaboration opportunities.
2. Improvement of Production Efficiency and Technological Innovation
-
(1) Continuously implement the LEAN Project to optimize production processes, reduce waste, and ensure product quality stability and consistency.。

(3) Training multi-skilled workers and establish a skill matrix to enhance the flexibility of
2
production lines, enabling better adaptation to diverse order demands and unexpected changes.
- (4) Initiate the automated inspection equipment introduction plan to reduce human error in inspections and improve the accuracy of finished product testing.
3. Deepening ESG Sustainable Development
-
(1) Advance the Phase II solar power project, with the goal of increasing the renewable energy usage rate to 30% by the end of 2025, further reducing our carbon footprint.
-
(2) Obtain ISO 50001 and ISO 14064-1 certifications to the energy management system and achieve energy-saving and emission-reduction goals.
-
(3) Expand the production scale of recycled silver and promote RJC-certified recycled silver to external markets, enhancing the company's competitiveness in the green supply chain sector.
-
(4) Implement an ESG education and training program to promote environmental awareness among all employees and actively participate in community welfare and social responsibility activities.
4. Internal Management Optimization and Organizational Development

-
(2) Implement a knowledge management platform to establish a technical document repository and learning resource center, promoting the effective transfer of organizational experience and technology.
-
(3) Optimize the performance evaluation system by adopting a multi-dimensional performance assessment model that covers innovation, teamwork, process improvement, and ESG contributions, to stimulate employee engagement and motivation.
-
(4) Promote paperless office practices by leveraging digital systems and cloud platforms to improve information management efficiency and reduce paper usage.
(4) Future Development Strategy: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
As global attention on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) issues continues to rise, various related concepts and regulations are constantly evolving. In response, we will continue to strengthen our commitment to ESG issues, improving the sustainability and risk management teams and systems across the group's subsidiaries.
In terms of sustainable development, we will leverage our group's RPM company’s ability to produce RJC-certified recycled silver. In addition to supplying it for internal use, we will actively seek opportunities to become a supplier for other jewelry brands. We will also
3
continue to increase our use of renewable energy, enhance material transparency, and improve traceability.
Regarding corporate governance, we will not only continue to improve our existing risk management framework but also ensure that the group maintains good and effective communication channels with stakeholders, including investors, legal compliance, and others. We will also keep monitoring the implementation of strategies and annual plans across our subsidiaries to ensure the achievement of the group’s objectives.
3. Impact of the External Competitive Landscape, Regulatory Environment, and Macroeconomic Conditions on Business Operations
For the impacts of various risk factors—including macroeconomic and political conditions, regulatory changes on the protection of shareholders’ rights and interests, and the influence of technology on the company’s production and operations—please refer to 。 the 'Risk Factors' section of the Annual Report

If the number of directors of either gender does not reach one-third of the total seats, the reasons and measures to enhance gender diversity on the Board shall be stated.
A. Explanation:
According to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company has established seven seats on the Board of Directors. The current directors were elected at the shareholders’ meeting on May 26, 2023. However, there is only one female director, which, although compliant with the relevant regulations at that time, does not meet the one-third gender representation
17
threshold. This is mainly due to the characteristics of the industry, where it is challenging to recruit qualified candidates within a short period.
B. Measures:
Before the expiration of the current Board’s term and the upcoming re-election, the Company will actively seek candidate recommendations through various channels, including industry associations and academic institutions. These efforts aim to improve corporate governance effectiveness and implement the policy of board member diversity.
(5) Board Independence:
According to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall consist of seven members. Directors are elected at the shareholders’ meeting from among candidates with legal capacity and may be re-elected upon the expiration of their term. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Act, the Company has established independent directors within the aforementioned number of board seats. The number of independent directors shall be no less than three. The election of directors, including independent directors, is conducted through a candidate nomination system.
The Company currently has seven directors, who were elected at the shareholders’ meeting held on May 26, 2023. Among them, three are independent directors, accounting for one-third of the total board seats.
Each director has provided a written statement or relevant documentation confirming their independence, as well as that of their immediate family members, in relation to the Company. None of the directors are involved in any of the circumstances described in Paragraphs 3 and 4, Article 26-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act—specifically, no marital or second-degree kinship relationships exist between any directors, supervisors, or between directors and supervisors—thus complying with relevant legal requirements.
Detailed information on all board members is provided in the Company’s Annual Report under the section "Corporate Governance Report – 2. Information on Directors, CEO, Vice Presidents, Assistant Vice Presidents, and Heads of Departments and Branches." In addition, information regarding the Board’s composition, continuing education, and implementation of diversity is publicly disclosed on the Company’s website at: http://www.regaljewelrygroup.com/TW/InvestorNews/ugC_InvestorNews.asp

1. Variance Analysis:
In 2024, the total remuneration for the directors, general manager, and deputy general managers as a proportion of net income (loss) after tax decreased compared to 2023. The main reason for this decline was the operating loss incurred in 2024.
-
Remuneration Policy, Standards and Composition, Procedure for Setting Remuneration, and Its Relationship with Business Performance and Future Risks
-
(1) Remuneration Policy, Standards, and Composition:
- A. Directors and Supervisors (The company has established an Audit Committee, so there is no need to set up supervisors)
In accordance with Article 14.4 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Company shall set aside not less than one percent (1%) of its net profit before tax as compensation to
its employees and not more than three percent (3%) of its net profit before tax as compensation to its directors if the Company makes a profit in the year.
- B. General Manager and Vice President
The company has established a management remuneration system, which includes various allowances and bonuses to recognize and reward employees for their efforts in the workplace. These bonuses are also distributed based on the company’s annual business performance, financial status, and operational conditions. In addition to fixed bonuses, the company also has a profit-sharing plan, where profit sharing and quarterly performance bonuses are allocated according to the achievement of key performance indicators (KPIs). Furthermore, if the company achieves a profit in a given year, the company’s Articles of Incorporation, Article 14.4, stipulate that no less than 1% of the pre-tax net profit shall be allocated for employee compensation.
The company’s remuneration package, as defined by the "Remuneration Committee Organization Regulations," includes cash compensation, stock options, profit-sharing shares, retirement benefits or severance payments, various allowances, and other forms of substantial incentives. The scope of this remuneration package is consistent with the guidelines for matters to be disclosed in the annual reports of publicly listed companies, specifically concerning the remuneration of directors and executives.
(2) Procedure for Setting Remuneration:
- A. The remuneration for directors and executives is determined based on performance evaluation criteria. The Chairman’s performance measurement is primarily based on the company’s annual business performance indicators related to operations, governance, and financial results. The evaluation criteria for the Chairman include four key indicators: pre-tax net profit, credit rating, corporate governance evaluation, and
27
other related measures.
For board members, their performance is assessed based on the results of the "Board Performance Evaluation Guidelines," which serve as one of the key performance measures. As for the General Manager, the performance evaluation encompasses key areas such as operational safety management, oversight of financial plan execution, revenue management, strengthening internal controls, and ensuring quality assurance—each tied to specific performance objectives.
- B. The performance assessment and the reasonableness of the remuneration for directors and executives are evaluated and reviewed by the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors. In addition to considering individual performance achievement and contributions to the company, the evaluation also takes into account the company’s overall operational performance, future industry risks, and development trends. The remuneration system is regularly reviewed and adjusted based on actual business conditions and relevant regulations. Furthermore, after considering current trends in corporate governance, reasonable compensation is provided to achieve a balance between the company’s long-term sustainability and effective risk management.
The actual remuneration paid to directors and executives for the year 2024 was reviewed by the Remuneration Committee and then submitted for approval by the Board of Directors.
-
(3) Relationship with Business Performance and Future Risks::
-
A. Review of the Company’s Remuneration Policy and Payment Standards:
The company’s remuneration policy and standards are primarily based on the overall operational status of the company. Payment standards are determined based on performance achievement rates and contributions, aiming to enhance the overall organizational and team effectiveness of the board and management departments. Additionally, the company benchmarks its compensation packages against industry standards to ensure that the remuneration for its management team is competitive, which helps retain top talent.
B. Integration of Performance Goals with Risk Management:
The company’s managerial performance goals are closely tied to "risk management" to ensure that potential risks within their responsibilities are effectively managed and mitigated. The performance evaluation results, based on actual performance, are linked to human resources and remuneration policies. Important decisions made by the company’s management are carefully weighed against various risk factors, and the
28
performance of these decisions is reflected in the company’s profitability. As a result, the remuneration of the management team is closely tied to both performance and risk control.
C. Remuneration for Directors, General Manager, and Deputy General Managers: The remuneration for directors, the general manager, and deputy general managers, including subsidiaries, includes long-term incentives. These may include restricted stock and employee stock options, which are not fully paid in the same year’s profits. The actual value of these incentives is tied to future stock prices, meaning that executives share in the company’s future operating risks, aligning their interests with the long-term success and performance of the company.

B. Execution Status of Recusal by Independent Directors in Conflict-of-Interest Proposals:
-
The names of the independent directors, the proposal content, reasons for recusal, and voting participation are to be disclosed.
There were no such instances.
- C. Communication Between Independent Directors and the Chief Internal Auditor and External Auditors:
44
At least once annually, the independent directors hold exclusive meetings with the external auditors and the chief internal auditor to discuss the results of internal audits and the auditors’ external audit opinions. These sessions also serve as a platform to communicate any deficiencies identified during the audit process, enabling independent directors to gain a comprehensive understanding of current regulations and audit execution directions.
To ensure independent directors remain informed about operational risks and improvement measures in a timely manner, the Company has established an internal control system in line with the “Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies.” Relevant management measures have also been implemented to reasonably ensure the effectiveness of internal controls.
Furthermore, the Company has established an audit unit under the Board of Directors, which operates in accordance with audit plans formulated based on the requirements of competent authorities.
The internal audit supervisor regularly reports to the audit committee on the annual internal audit plan, the professional training plan for audit personnel, and provides periodic updates on the implementation of internal audit operations.
The accountant participates in the audit committee at least once a year to report the annual audit results.
In the event of significant anomalies, if the independent directors, audit supervisor, and accountant deem it necessary to communicate independently, meetings can be convened at any time on an ad-hoc basis.。
The communication between the independent directors, internal audit supervisor, and certified public accountant is good. The main topics of communication include:

(2) Industry Overview
1. Current Status and Development of the Industry
- (1) Overview of the Jewelry and Accessories Industry
Jewelry was once regarded as rare, precious, and culturally significant, symbolizing status and wealth, while also carrying human emotions and ideas. However, over time, jewelry has evolved, and for modern consumers, it has become a representation of fashion. Wearing jewelry is now seen as a personal style, a statement of fashion and trends, while also serving practical and aesthetic purposes. Recently, with the rapid advancement of technology and the increasing popularity of mobile devices, the jewelry industry has experienced positive market growth. The profits of jewelry brands now come more from well-designed products rather than items focused solely on high-value gemstones.
In today’s jewelry market, brands not only need to offer designs that are creative and unique, but also establish a high-quality image and pricing strategies that attract the general consumer market. Currently, the global jewelry market is highly competitive, with both small businesses and major players vying for market share. The main players use key strategies, such as strategic acquisitions and mergers, product innovation, joint ventures through partnerships, and geographical expansion, to maintain their long-term positions in the jewelry market. Among these strategies, building jewelry brands through collaborations or acquisitions to enhance added value is the most prominent approach.
(2) Development of Jewelry Brands
- A. Definition of the Fine Jewelry Industry
136
According to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), jointly developed by Morgan Stanley (MSCI) and Standard & Poor's (S&P), the luxury goods industry is officially referred to as the "Apparel, Accessories & Luxury Goods" industry. Its main products include designer handbags, wallets, luggage, jewelry, and watches. Among these, fine jewelry refers to products created through the design, processing, production, and packaging of raw, uncut gemstones, precious metals, or other materials.
In the past, jewelry not only symbolized status and wealth but also carried human emotions and ideas. However, over time, for modern consumers, wearing jewelry is now seen as an expression of personal style, fashion, and trends, while also combining practicality and aesthetics. In recent years, with the aid of technology, jewelry has become increasingly intricate and refined, turning into items that resemble works of art, suitable for collection. As a result, the jewelry industry is no longer just a traditional craft but has evolved into a luxury goods industry that gives life to jewelry through storytelling, while also reflecting individual taste.
B. Overview of the Luxury Goods Industry
According to a report published by McKinsey & Company in 2024, the global luxury goods market is expected to experience a noticeable slowdown in growth over the next few years, although it will maintain moderate growth. Issues related to import tariffs may also impact the U.S. economy, leading many consumers to reduce their luxury goods spending. Luxury goods can no longer rely on significant price increases, and in the face of slowing sales growth, executives in the luxury goods sector will prioritize cost efficiency, focusing on controlling marketing expenditures and personnel costs to maintain profitability. While increasing sales volume can expand business, higher production levels are also essential for sustainability goals. At the same time, product uniqueness and innovation remain just as important.

After a period of rapid growth, the luxury goods industry is expected to experience a slowdown in growth in the coming years. In 2024, the total consumption of personal luxury goods is estimated to be between $330 billion and $340 billion. Recent international economic factors and reduced consumer spending have impacted the core luxury goods market, while domestic demand for luxury goods in China has also shown a noticeable slowdown. Overall, the global luxury goods market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2-4% from 2025 to 2027. Among personal luxury goods, leather goods and jewelry are projected to see stronger growth compared to other categories, with both categories expected to grow at a rate of 4-6%.

Looking at the global luxury goods market by region, growth in the luxury goods industry is expected to slow down in 2024, but moderate growth is projected in the coming years. Benefiting from favorable economic conditions, the United States is expected to become the primary growth driver for luxury goods from 2025 to 2027, mainly due to a decline in inflation and an increase in disposable income, which will stimulate interest in luxury goods among the middle class. Additionally, the number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals in the U.S. continues to grow, with an expected annual increase of 5% between 2023 and 2028. In the Asia-Pacific region, emerging markets such as Indonesia and Thailand will also benefit from rapid economic development and urbanization. The steady growth of middle and high-income consumer groups will allow the luxury goods market to continue benefiting.
139

For the luxury goods industry, the future trend will focus on high-end consumers, with very important customers (VICs) becoming the core of growth for luxury brands in the coming years. This high-spending group is relatively less affected by market conditions. Currently, high-spending consumers make up only 2-4% of the luxury goods customer base, but they account for 30-40% of total market consumption. It is expected that they will contribute 65-80% of the growth from 2023 to 2027. Looking ahead, the growth momentum of the luxury goods market will be driven by an increase in consumer confidence, growth in travel spending, greater contributions from the U.S. market, and stable development in China and the Middle East. According to Bain & Company’s estimates, the personal luxury goods market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 5%-7% through 2030, with the overall luxury goods market reaching a size of €540-580 billion by the end of 2030.
C. Overview and Development of the Jewelry Market
Jewelry is one of the oldest forms of personal adornment in history. Whether it's a luxurious diamond necklace or a simple charm bracelet, jewelry instantly enhances the wearer's personal style and confidence. The main revenue sources for the jewelry market come from China, India, and the United States. According to a report by Grand View Research, jewelry spending for wedding ceremonies and celebrations remains a key driver of market growth, especially in India. Additionally, due to changing attitudes,
140
men are increasingly open to wearing jewelry, which has become another source of growth for the jewelry market.
In terms of materials, gold jewelry still holds the largest market share, while diamonds are becoming increasingly popular among consumers. Both natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds, which have gained traction due to the growing global focus on sustainability, are experiencing market growth. Jewelry is expected to be the fastest-growing category from 2025 to 2027, with annual growth rates of 4% to 6%, driven by increasing demand from high-income consumers and continued investments by manufacturers in professional technological research and development.
Consumer preferences are also shifting from non-branded to branded jewelry. Gift-giving and collection are additional growth factors for jewelry sales, with the main beneficiaries being younger and more diverse customer groups. Furthermore, according to Polaris Market Research's forecast, the jewelry industry will continue to grow steadily until 2030.
Global Jewelry Market Value from 2018 to 2030
==> picture [383 x 179] intentionally omitted <==
Source : Polaris Market Research
Jewelry products are primarily categorized into five major types: necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets (chains), and others. According to the Grand View Research report, in 2023, rings accounted for the largest share of jewelry sales, with a market share of approximately 33.8%. The growth in global ring sales is largely driven by the increasing demand for wedding rings and the growing preference for rings as fashion accessories. While younger generations may have less traditional views on marriage, they still tend to establish a strong connection between love and rings. As a result, rings, including engagement and wedding rings, remain their preferred choice.
141
In addition, another trend in recent years has been the growth in ring sales within the male consumer segment. This growth can be attributed to improvements in men's jewelry design and the rising fashion awareness of men worldwide.
In the bracelet market, the increasing popularity of cross-cultural designs has been a key factor driving global demand for bracelets. Products inspired by Egyptian, European, and Italian cultures are expected to attract significant attention in the foreseeable future.
Earrings are generally considered one of the most eye-catching pieces of jewelry and are often worn in combination with other accessories such as necklaces or bracelets. Their ease of use has made them one of the most frequently worn jewelry items. Therefore, the growth in demand for necklaces, bracelets, and other jewelry may also contribute to an increase in earring sales.
Overall, the jewelry market is showing clear trends in various product categories, with rings leading the charge due to their cultural and symbolic importance, while earrings and bracelets benefit from ongoing design innovation and fashion integration.
- Relationship Between Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream in the Industry
The jewelry and luxury goods industry has a long history and is one of the most time-honored industries. Its industrial chain is highly developed and mature. Based on the structure of the supply chain, it can be divided into three segments:
-
Upstream suppliers of raw materials and equipment, who mainly provide precious
-
metals, gemstones, and production equipment necessary for jewelry manufacturing;
-
Midstream design and manufacturing companies, which focus on jewelry design,
-
component and mold production, automated processing equipment, and subsequent manufacturing and sales;
-
Downstream distributors, who reach end consumers through global and regional
-
brand channels in the retail market.
With the rapid development of e-commerce and social media, downstream
companies are actively establishing their own e-commerce platforms and social media channels to explore new sales avenues.
142
Our company specializes in the design, manufacturing, and sales of jewelry products, placing us in the midstream segment of the industry. We source a variety of raw materials from upstream suppliers—such as gold, silver, and platinum—and then proceed through various production stages including design, molding, casting, stamping, grinding, gemstone setting, welding, polishing, electroplating, and packaging. The finished products are then delivered to downstream distributors, who sell them to the end consumers.
Below is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments of the industry in which our company operates:
==> picture [445 x 242] intentionally omitted <==
3. Various Product Development Trends
(1) Customized Craftsmanship
In terms of product design and manufacturing, our company places great emphasis on various craftsmanship techniques involved in jewelry production. Our products primarily feature metal casting and hand-set stones, and include items such as pendants, rings, bracelets, earrings, bangles, necklaces, cufflinks, and brooches. Moving forward, in addition to continuously accumulating experience and knowledge in jewelry manufacturing, we will integrate aesthetic design with advanced craftsmanship to make our products more user-friendly and customizable. This 。 foundation will enable us to continually innovate and explore new frontiers.
(2) Emphasis on Design Distinction
With the shift in consumer habits, today’s younger generation shows a preference for personalized and refined products in their purchasing behavior. They are drawn to jewelry that features delicate, compact, and intricately crafted designs without being
143
overly elaborate, often paired with flexible color combinations. Jewelry that appears bold yet minimalist tends to appeal more to professional women, while fashion-forward pieces that emphasize design and personal taste are favored by the mid-to-high-end consumer segment.
In response, our company continually explores ways to align jewelry design features with consumer preferences. Our goal is to create pieces that not only embody vibrancy, fun, fashion, and elegance, but also reflect the wearer’s unique sense of personal style.
(3) Leading Fashion Trends
The accuracy and timeliness of forecasting fashion trends and acquiring relevant information are crucial in the jewelry and luxury goods industry. Understanding current trends and using that knowledge to provide customers with the latest product selections is essential. Furthermore, enhancing the closeness of supply and demand, maintaining strong relationships, and fostering interactive communication are key challenges for jewelry design and manufacturing companies.
To address this, our company collects and forecasts international trend information through databases, various print and online media, in order to stay ahead of future fashion movements. We use this valuable data to design corresponding jewelry styles, combining different colors and aesthetics to create products that lead the next generation of trends. Each year, our company plans multiple new design collections and launches new products every season, allowing customers to select from the latest designs. Adhering to the principle of customization, we aim to stay at the forefront of fashion trends and provide our customers with the latest insights.
4. Competitive Landscape
Our company operates within the fast-paced fashion industry, where product updates are rapid and styles are constantly evolving. While there are many jewelry manufacturers, most of them are small-scale factories that primarily focus on copying existing products and are unable to set trends. In light of this, our company avoids competing in the highly competitive low-price market and instead targets a niche market focused on small-batch, highly customizable products.
In addition to producing exquisite jewelry for our customers, we offer customization services where clients can choose from designs created by our in-house team. Skilled artisans then craft the pieces with exceptional craftsmanship. A prime example of this
144
is our collaboration with internationally renowned jewelry brands, where our rose gold and K-gold series products have gained significant recognition.
Manufacturers who lack forward-thinking design capabilities, refined craftsmanship, and production flexibility find it difficult to enter this market segment. Therefore, for our company, there remains substantial room for growth and the potential for continued expansion in the future.
(3) Technology and R&D Overview
- Technology Level and Research & Development of Our Business
The traditional jewelry industry is a highly labor-intensive sector, characterized by complex procedures, long production times, and inconsistent product quality. In terms of process, the design phase begins with the designer sketching the concept and style. Afterward, the jewelry prototype is crafted manually before proceeding to stages such as molding, casting, stamping, polishing, gemstone setting, welding, polishing, electroplating, and packaging.
To meet the diverse needs of our customers, our company combines technology with traditional craftsmanship. From the very beginning of the design process, we utilize advanced 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software to create 3D models, allowing us to communicate and make modifications with customers, thereby reducing manual labor time. Additionally, we use 3D printing to create wax models for jewelry before moving on to casting and other production processes.
In terms of production processes, we have improved several manufacturing techniques to stay ahead of industry standards. Coupled with professional technicians, we ensure the creation of exquisite and high-quality jewelry pieces. These advancements in technology have also enabled us to collaborate with various internationally renowned brands.
Currently, our R&D department consists of over 200 personnel, including more than 100 designers and pattern makers involved in product design and development. Their strong creative capabilities are a key competitive advantage for our company in expanding our market reach. Looking ahead, we will continue to train designers, develop more unique products, and invest resources into researching and improving our production techniques and equipment to drive our sustained growth.

148
in March 2022. In 2023, RPM obtained both RJC COP and CoC international certifications. This initiative not only reduces the costs previously incurred through outsourced refining services but also enables the company to further explore opportunities with RJC-certified suppliers and offer in-house metal refining services to its clients.
Our management team and all employees will continue to strive toward the vision of becoming “the most valuable jewelry enterprise in the world.” Guided by our five core values— Passion, Achievement, Responsibility, Teamwork, and Inspiration —we are committed to overcoming future business challenges and continuously strengthening our systems, production processes, and management practices.

- The Future of the Market: Supply and Demand Conditions and Growth Potential In the process of branding, the jewelry industry also faces challenges due to the development of modern technology and changing consumer behavior (Van Gelder, 2005). (1) Technological Convenience: The Impact of Modern Virtual Channels on the Jewelry Market
With the increasing prevalence of modern mobile technology and the internet, the development of online virtual channels has expanded the jewelry market beyond the traditional reliance on offline physical channels. In the past, offline physical stores dominated the jewelry market, mainly because most consumers had to rely on physical outlets to purchase jewelry. However, with the advancement of technology and the times, online virtual channels have grown rapidly. In addition to basic online payment functions, some jewelry brands have even introduced "virtual try-on" services that integrate AR and VR technologies, allowing consumers to simulate how they would look wearing jewelry in front of their computers.
Today, the boundaries between offline physical stores and online virtual channels have become increasingly blurred. Companies are investing resources to create integrated "omni-channel marketing," where online and offline channels converge. By integrating various resources, businesses aim to provide consumers with a consistent, harmonious, and personalized shopping experience across all channels. This strategy not only helps differentiate the brand from competitors and gain crucial competitive advantages but also enhances the brand's competitiveness and brand equity.
(2) Shift in Consumer Behavior: The Erosion of the Jewelry Market by Counterfeit Products
Counterfeit products are a critical issue that must be addressed in the jewelry brand industry (Olsen, JE, Granzin, KL, 1992; Carty, 1994). When the supply side reduces production costs, it naturally creates a price advantage, making it easier for consumers to obtain the products they desire to fulfill their own interests. However, when low-priced counterfeit products or imitation brands emerge, and their quality fails to meet standards, consumers will find it difficult to differentiate them in a market characterized by information asymmetry. The fear of being deceived often leads to a lack of trust in
150
jewelry products, which results in consumers spending less on jewelry and redirecting their money to other purposes. Therefore, the erosion caused by counterfeit products in 。 the jewelry market should not be underestimated.
- (3) The Disadvantage of Country of Origin Image: Concerns of Emerging Countries
In the jewelry supply chain, product manufacturing is often carried out through OEM outsourcing in emerging countries, and then sold by brand owners. Over time, the profits for brand owners far outweigh those of OEM manufacturers. To generate more profit, OEM manufacturers must build their own brands to create added value. However, products made in emerging market countries have often been associated with poor quality or a high prevalence of counterfeit goods. For OEM manufacturers aiming to build jewelry brands, the image of their country of origin not only puts them at a disadvantage when developing a brand, but it can also hinder the growth of jewelry sales due to consumers' preconceived notions of the abundance of counterfeit products.
Currently, many jewelry brands come from advanced countries known for their fine craftsmanship and fashionable designs. Consumers rely on the brand's country of origin to ensure the quality, appearance, and design style of the products they purchase. Therefore, when building a jewelry brand, OEM manufacturers from emerging countries face not only the impact of their country's image and pressure from brand clients, but also a significant challenge from consumer skepticism.

-
C. Maintain excellent relationships with internationally renowned brands through flexible service
Our major clients are internationally renowned jewelry brands or regional brands, and with our flexible services model, we are able to complete customized demands for our clients; therefore, we have established stable relationships with them to expand our business operations.
152
(2) Negative factors and Responses
A. Price fluctuation of raw materials
Since the main production materials of the jewelry industry are precious metals, their prices are easily affected by fluctuations in the international market, which can easily affect production costs and quotations, thus posing operational risks.
Response:
When we take orders from customers, we will refer to the most recent market price of raw materials before quoting to customers in order to reduce the risk of profit erosion due to changes in raw material costs. In addition, we also track the market price of raw materials and adjust the safety stock in accordance with the market trend in order to cope with the risk of the price fluctuation of raw material affecting the supply.
B. Increase of labor costs
The jewelry industry is both labor-intensive and skill-intensive, and it is not easy to train skilled craftsmen. The basic wage in Thailand has been adjusted since 2019, and it has continued to adjust in recent years. As the Thailand economy continues to grow, the human resources are scattered across various industries, making it difficult to find new talent with a passion for the jewelry industry and putting pressure on the Company's operations .
Response:
Since the jewelry industry still emphasizes the quality of craftsmanship, we have divided the production process into eight parts and introduced automatic production for some processes and improved production procedures. We also use appropriate technique specialization to achieve the training of new personnel in a short period of time, to improve quality and speed, and to reduce the processing and manufacturing time, so as to reduce the risk of wages increases. For the rise of labor cost, we will reflect in the quotation of our clients in a timely manner, so that we can provide high quality and high workmanship products without compromising the Company's revenue.
C. Sales are concentrated
The Company's biggest client is a leading brand in the jewelry market, whose products are well received by consumers and whose revenue has been increasing year after year. As an important supplier to this customer, the Company's orders continue to increase as the customer grows, resulting in a concentration of sales .
Response:
In addition to our biggest client, we also have long-term relationships with other major clients in Europe and US. With sufficient design capacity and comprehensive services, we are able to meet the various needs of our clients and have formed a regular supply chain due to the quality of our products. However, in order to reduce the risk of concentration of sales, we will continue to make efforts to develop new
153
customers based on our pre-defined brand positioning type and expand our product range to accessories and other processing services. In addition, we will also continue to enhance our ODM business and actively focus on evaluating the possibility of cross-industry cooperation. We will strengthen our relationship with our various customers through different strategic business models and continue to increase the number of customers in order to achieve the goal of diversifying the dependence of customers .

-
Risk Factors for the Recent Year and As of the Date of the Annual Report :
-
(1) The impact of interest rate changes, exchange rate fluctuations, and inflation on the company's profit and loss, as well as future response measures.:
- Interest rate changes :
Unit: NT$000
| Year Item |
Year 2023 | Year 2023 | Year 2024 | Year 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amount | Ratio of operating revenues |
Amount | Ratio of operating revenues |
|
| Interest income |
5,660 | 0.49% | 908 | 0.05% |
| Interest expense |
7,754 | 0.68% | 14,049 | 0.79% |
The company's interest income primarily comes from bank deposit interest, while interest expenses are mainly derived from interest costs on bank mortgage loans. The company's interest income for the years 2023 and 2024 was NT$5,660 thousand and NT$908 thousand, respectively, with both accounting for less than 1% of net operating income. Interest expenses for the same years were NT$7,754 thousand and NT$14,049 thousand, accounting for 0.68% and 0.79% of net operating income, respectively. Given
174
these low percentages, interest rate fluctuations are not expected to have a significant impact on the company.
Response Measures : :
-
(1) Continuously monitor changes in financial interest rates and adjust the allocation of funds in a timely manner to mitigate potential financial risks arising from interest rate fluctuations.
-
(2) Maintain good relationships with banks to ensure favorable lending terms and smooth financial operations.
-
(3) Increase sources of funding through lower-cost financing methods to support future growth needs.
-
Exchange rate fluctuations :
Unit: NT$000
| Exchange rate fluctuatio |

Unit: NT$000 |
|---|---|---|
| Year Item |
Year 2023 | Year 2024 |
| Foreign exchange gains(losses) |
5,243 | 4,578 |
| Ratio of net profit before income tax |
0.46% | 0.26% |
The company’s sales transactions with foreign suppliers are primarily denominated in USD, while purchases from suppliers are primarily denominated in Thai Baht. Since the Thai Baht is also used for daily operations, the company is exposed to exchange rate risks. An appreciation of the USD against the Thai Baht may result in foreign exchange loss risks for the company. Therefore, exchange rate fluctuations will have a certain level of impact on the company’s revenue and profitability.
Response Measures :
-
(1) Maintain close communication with partner banks to fully understand changes in the foreign exchange market, providing relevant personnel with data for product pricing and raw material procurement, allowing timely responses to exchange rate fluctuations.
-
(2) The sales department will consider the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on sales prices when quoting foreign customers, helping to mitigate the impact of exchange rate movements on revenue and profitability .
-
(3) Financial personnel will maintain an appropriate foreign currency position based on future exchange rate trends at the right time, supporting the operational needs of subsidiaries and reducing the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the company’s profitability .
-
(4) If necessary, forward foreign exchange transactions will be conducted based on the foreign currency position and exchange rate movements to minimize the exchange rate risks arising from business operations.
3. Inflation:
When inflation rises, the prices of raw materials such as precious metals also increase, leading to higher raw material costs for the company. Additionally, costs for machinery
175
and equipment, wages and employee benefits, electricity, and other expenses will also rise with inflation, affecting the company’s profit and loss. To mitigate the impact of material price fluctuations on the company’s profitability, the group has implemented the following response measures:
-
(1) Reduce waste in the production process through systematic management and enhanced employee training.
-
(2) Strengthen waste recycling and material reusability.
-
(3) Adopt energy-efficient equipment and install solar panels to reduce electricity costs.
-
(4) Increase sales prices of products and services in line with corresponding cost increases.
-
Impact of Economic Risks and Countermeasures :
Any future political, economic, or financial crises, or market fluctuations (including but not limited to changes in interest rates and exchange rates, inflation or deflation, and changes in the economic, fiscal, and monetary policies of major economies) could lead to a significant decline in overall revenue and profitability within the jewelry industry. If the economic environment worsens or if the financial condition of the company's customers deteriorates, the demand for the company’s products and services may also decrease, further affecting operating income and net profit.
(2) Policy on High-Risk, High-Leverage Investments, Lending Funds to Others, Endorsements and Guarantees, and Derivative Transactions, Main Reasons for Profits or Losses, and Future Response Measures :
-
Based on a principle of prudence and a pragmatic management philosophy, the company focuses on its core business and does not engage in high-risk and high-leverage financial activities or investments.
-
The company has established relevant policies, including the "Funds Lending to Others Operating Procedures," "Endorsements and Guarantees Operating Procedures," "Derivative Financial Instruments Trading Processing Procedures," and "Asset Acquisition or Disposal Processing Procedures," which will be executed by the relevant departments.
-
For the most recent year and up until the date of publication of this annual report, the only instance of endorsement and guarantee was made by the subsidiary Regal Jewelry Manufacture Co., Ltd. for its subsidiary Regal Precious Metal Innovation Co., Ltd. The risk involved is considered to be limited.
-
(3) Future Research and Development Plans and Estimated R&D Investment :
-
Future Research and Development Plans:
-
(1) Continue enhancing the company’s product development capabilities by integrating aesthetic craftsmanship and technology to offer unique and more personalized products that meet the demands of different markets.
-
(2) Conduct research into more advanced manufacturing processes and precision mold design capabilities to improve future product yield rates and increase product diversity .
176
-
(3) Continue investing in semi-automated or fully automated production equipment and related tooling for high-end products to shorten production time, significantly improve product quality, and reduce production costs.
-
(4) Estimated R&D Expenditure : The R&D expense for 2024 is projected to be NT$65,263 thousand, representing a decrease of NT$1,162 thousand compared to the 2023 figure of NT$66,425 thousand, primarily due to a more conservative short-term demand outlook from customers. In 2025, the company will continue to enhance its capabilities in customized jewelry design, develop functional accessories and automated equipment, and upgrade process tooling. Looking ahead, the company also aims to strengthen its focus on ESG initiatives to boost medium- to long-term competitiveness. The R&D expenditure for 2025 is expected to slightly exceed that of 2024.
-
(4) Effects on the company's financial operations of important policies adopted and changes in the legal environment at home and abroad, and measures to be taken in response:
The Company is registered in Cayman Islands and the main operation headquarter is in Thailand. The Cayman Islands has financial services as its main economic activity, while Thailand is one of the major economies in Southeast Asia with an open economy and no foreign exchange controls, and the political and economic environment is still stable. The products developed and sold by the Company are consumer goods and are not licensed or restricted industries. Therefore, except for the compliance costs due to changes in business laws and regulations in the Cayman Islands, and the personnel costs due to adjustments in wage rates due to improvements in labor conditions in Thailand, there are no significant changes in important policies and laws in the Cayman Islands or Thailand that would affect the Company's finance or business operations. Also, both of the impact of the aforementioned compliance and personnel cost adjustments on the Company was minimal. In addition, the Company conducts its business in accordance with relevant domestic and foreign policies and laws, and keeps an eye on important domestic and foreign policy trends and legal changes to respond to changes in market conditions and take appropriate countermeasures.
- (5) The impact of technological changes (including information security risks) and industry changes on the company's financial business and countermeasures::
The Group’s core business is the design, processing, and manufacturing of jewelry. With advancements in technology, various new types of automated machinery are continuously being introduced to the market. The heads of our R&D and manufacturing departments remain well-informed of such new equipment and technologies, and conduct comprehensive evaluations to assess how much these investments could enhance production efficiency and product quality, as well as the amount of capital expenditure
177
required. Based on these assessments, decisions are made regarding whether to proceed with the procurement of such new equipment.
In terms of industry trends, today’s jewelry consumers increasingly emphasize
personalization in their accessories as a way to express their unique tastes and values. As a result, the jewelry industry is gradually shifting from mass production of standardized items to smaller, more diverse batches, including customized pieces that allow consumers to choose their own combinations.
In response, the company has restructured its production line by dividing its original large-scale factory into several medium-sized units to increase production flexibility. Additionally, we have introduced management mechanisms to dynamically adjust monthly orders, production line workforce, and outsourcing arrangements, with the goal of optimizing human resource allocation and cost control.
In terms of information security risk management, the Company's plans and actions are as follows:
1. Management structure :
In order to protect Company’s information assets from risks caused by external threats or improper management and use by internal personnel, the Company has established the "Regal Holding Information and Communication Security Team" to coordinate management plans, maintenance plans and resource deployment. The team consists of (1) convener, (2) head of information security, and (3) information security personnel. The convener is the CEO and the head of information security of the Company is responsible for coordinating and promoting information security related management matters. The information security personnel members are the supervisors of each unit in the IT department and assist the head of information security in implementing various information security related plans. The audit office is responsible for the record of information security related meetings, the record of information security incidents and the execution of internal information security related audit plans.
2 . Information and community security policy :
The Company's information and communication security policy covers the Company and its subsidiaries. In order to ensure that all hardware, software, data and communications of the Company operate properly and are protected from human deliberation or accidental threats, the Company focuses on system, technology and procedures simultaneously to reduce information security threats and establish a secured information environment. The Company continuously reviews the management cycle of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) for continuous improvement. In the "Plan Phase", the
178
Company focuses on information security risk management, firstly, the Company's information and communication security team identifies relevant risk factors and then formulates specific management plans. In the "Do Phase", the Company constructs various information protection measures. In addition to implementing the management plans in the Company's daily operations, we also continue to introduce new information security technologies and conduct internal information security promotion to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the company's information assets. The "Check Phase" will actively monitor the effectiveness of information security management, measure and quantify information security indicators based on audit results, and rehearse the response mechanism in case of information security incidents through regular simulations. The "Act Phase" is based on review and continuous improve, the Company fulfill the implementation of supervision and auditing, and regularly review information security regulations and management plans. If employees violate the relevant regulations and procedures, they will be dealt with according to the relevant procedures and penalties will be imposed depending on the violation.
3. Management plans
For details of the Company's information and communication security management plans, please refer to Annual Report
- (6) Effect on the Company's crisis management of changes in the Company's corporate image, and measures to be taken in response:
The Company's corporate philosophy is honesty, trust and sustainable management. In addition to the "Code of Conduct for Integrity Management" and "Procedures and Guidelines for Integrity Management" in the internal control system as guidelines for internal management and external operations, the Company also conducts various internal promotions and hires lecturers to conduct education and training from time to time to explain to all employees the relevance and importance of integrity, corporate image and sustainable management. Since the establishment, the Company has focused on its core business operations, complied with relevant laws and regulations in its operations, and maintained good interaction and communication with all stakeholders. Therefore, the overall corporate image is excellent and there is no corporate crisis caused by the change of corporate image in the latest year or as of the date of printing of the Annual Report
- (7) Expected benefits and possible risks associated with any merger and acquisitions, and mitigation measures being or to be taken :
The Company's primary strategy is to focus on the jewelry industry and all of its corporate plans are related to the design, manufacture and sale of jewelry, or are related to the upstream and downstream supply chain of the industry. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has no merger and acquisition plans in progress or anticipated, except for the establishment of subsidiary in connection with the investment in sustainability issues such as
179
precious metal recycling and ESG, in which the Company is optimistic about future business opportunities.
- (8) Expected benefits and possible risks associated with any plant expansion, and mitigation measures being or to be taken: :
The Company has an internal adjustment mechanism to dynamically adjust the allocation between client orders and production line manpower on a monthly basis, supplemented by an outsourcing strategy. As of the print date of the Annual Report, the Company has no plans to expand its plants, except for investing in automated equipment to shorten working hours and improve product quality. If there is a need for plant expansion in the future, the Company will follow the local business regulations and the relevant internal management rules established by the Company to ensure the protection of the rights and interests of the Company's shareholders and stakeholders.
-
(9) Risks associated with any consolidation of sales or purchasing operations, and mitigation measures being or to be taken :
-
Risks Associated with Procurement Concentration and Countermeasures In 2023 and 2024, the Group’s largest supplier accounted for approximately 26.07% and 36.61% of the total annual procurement value, respectively. However, the main raw materials used by the Group are available from multiple suppliers, which increases bargaining power and reduces the risk of material shortages. Therefore, there is currently no significant concentration of procurement from a single supplier.
-
Risks Associated with Sales Concentration and Countermeasures
-
In 2023 and 2024, the Group’s revenue derived from its largest customer accounted for 27.15% and 39.12% of total sales, respectively, indicating a relatively high level of revenue concentration. However, this customer is a long-term partner of the Company and a globally recognized brand, with plans to expand its eco-friendly product line and launch more sustainable products in 2025. The Group will continue to strengthen its partnership with this customer while actively developing new clients to diversify order sources and reduce the risks associated with sales concentration.
-
(10) The impact, risk and response measures of a significant transfer or change of shareholding of directors, supervisors or shareholders holding more than 10% of the shares of the Company::
-
As of the date of this annual report, aside from the investment structure reorganization carried out in 2014 in preparation for the Company’s application for primary listing in Taiwan, there have been no instances of directors, supervisors, or major shareholders holding more than 10% of shares transferring a significant portion of their equity to others. Furthermore, the aforementioned investment structure reorganization has had no impact on the Company’s management control. To strengthen the understanding of shareholding-related regulations among the Company’s directors and major shareholders, external training courses are arranged annually as part of the Company’s corporate governance plan to
180
provide updates on the latest legal developments.
-
(11) The impact, risk and response measures of the change in management rights on the Company :
-
As of the printing date of the annual report, there was no change in the Company's management rights that would affect its operations.
-
(12) Litigious and non-litigious matters:
-
As of the printing date of the annual report, the Company or its directors, independent directors, managers, beneficial owners, shareholders holding more than 10% of the shares, or affiliates whose litigation, non-litigation or administrative disputes that have been adjudicated or are currently in the process of being litigated, which the outcome may have a significant impact on shareholders' equity or the price of securities, the facts of the dispute, the amount of the subject matter, the date of commencement of the litigation, the principal parties involved in the litigation, and the current status of the litigation should be disclosed:
As of the date of the annual report, there was no litigation, non-litigation or administrative
disputes in connection with the Company's shareholders' equity or securities prices.
-
(13) Other important risks and response measures:
-
Risks of Macroeconomic, Political and Economic Environment, Foreign Exchange, and Legal Changes
-
The Company is registered in the Cayman Islands, with its main operations located in Thailand. Therefore, changes in commercial laws in the place of registration and operation, as well as exchange rate fluctuations and raw material price volatility caused by changes in the international political and economic environment, may affect the Company’s operations.
-
To address the risks arising from legal changes and fluctuations in international market prices, the Company has formed a risk management team composed of relevant departments to continuously monitor major domestic and international policy and legal changes, as well as current fluctuations in international market exchange rates and raw material prices, in order to assess and establish action plans to respond promptly to changing circumstances.
-
-
Risks Related to Shareholder Rights Protection
- The laws of the Cayman Islands, where the Company is registered, differ in many aspects from those of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Although the Company has amended its Articles of Association in accordance with the "Foreign Issuer Shareholder Rights Protection Checklist" stipulated by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, without conflicting with Cayman Islands laws, and continues to monitor changes in relevant securities regulations to safeguard investors' rights, there are still significant differences in the legal frameworks governing the operation of companies in both jurisdictions. Investors cannot directly apply the legal protections available to shareholders of Taiwanese companies to those of the Cayman Islands company in which they invest. Investors should consult relevant advisors or experts to fully understand whether they
181
can expect the same level of shareholder rights protection when investing in a Cayman Islands company as they would when investing in a company registered in Taiwan.
-
Impact of Technology on the Company’s Production Business and Response Measures : (1) Impact on the Company’s Production and Operations
- The company spares no effort in investing in technology and process development. Every year, a significant amount of research and development funds are allocated, while always keeping an eye on updates and improvements in the relevant industry technologies to stay ahead of market trends and assess their impact on the company's operations. When making investments in new equipment or technologies, the company not only conducts scenario analyses and forward-looking predictions on how these innovations will benefit future production or business, but also simulates the company’s financial situation and liquidity to ensure that there is enough cash flow to meet daily operational needs. Currently, the company's financial health is strong enough to support its future technological development needs.
-
(2) Enterprise Cybersecurity Risks and Responses
-
The company has established a "Regal Holdings Information Security Task Force" to protect its information assets from external threats or improper management and usage by internal personnel, which could lead to risks. The task force oversees the management of plans, maintenance schedules, and resource allocation. At the same time, efforts are made from the system, technical, and procedural aspects to reduce cybersecurity threats and establish a secure information environment.
-
A. Internet Security Control
- The company will continue to strengthen its firewalls and regularly scan and update the company’s information equipment systems and databases for viruses. Currently, the company has set VPN connection times and enhanced the VPN authentication mechanism. We also regularly review the system logs of various network services and monitor for any anomalies. In addition, the company regularly consults with professional cybersecurity experts to review the existing information software and hardware architecture in order to reduce the risk of increasingly rampant network attacks.
-
B. Data Access Control
- The company has set up accounts and passwords for all information and communication systems and devices, granting different access permissions to users based on their job functions. The usage and operation of the company’s systems are tracked and logged. Any changes to system permissions must be approved by authorized personnel before becoming effective. Before any company system or device is decommissioned, confidential or sensitive data and software must be removed or overwritten to reduce the risk of confidential information leakage, which could affect the company’s future operations.
C. Disaster Recovery Mechanism
- The company regularly reviews its information and communication emergency response plans and conducts regular simulations and drills of the system recovery mechanisms to improve response speed and capability in the event of a cybersecurity incident. Furthermore, the company has established a comprehensive backup mechanism for systems, ensuring offsite backups and
182
enhancing the frequency, retention, and security of data backups to improve data accessibility after an information security incident.
D. Awareness and Auditing
To strengthen the information security awareness of all employees, the company regularly conducts information security education and training sessions, and uses internal meetings and announcements to disseminate new information about information security. This helps cultivate habits among all employees to maintain information security. The company’s auditing department also conducts regular checks every year to ensure the effectiveness of the information security management plan and related operational procedures.
4. International situation:
Geopolitical risks have intensified following events such as the US-China rivalry, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the Israel-Hamas conflict. Many surveys show that geopolitical uncertainty has become an unavoidable risk in corporate operations, with expected challenges and pressures increasing in the short to medium term.
S&P Global lists the geopolitical risks with the highest likelihood and impact in 2024, which include: tensions between Russia and NATO, cyberattacks, US-China competition, anti-globalization, climate risks, energy security, and the resurgence of pandemics. The world's largest political risk consultancy, Eurasia Group, identifies the top ten global risks in 2024 as: (1) political division due to the US presidential election, (2) escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, (3) factual fragmentation of Ukraine, (4) unregulated AI, (5) deepening alliances between Russia, Iran, and North Korea, (6) sluggish economic recovery in mainland China, (7) competition for critical minerals, (8) limitations on government policy tools due to inflation, (9) the El Niño phenomenon, and (10) an increase in ideological conflicts raising risks for US businesses.
In summary, the risks facing businesses in 2024 include geopolitical tensions, climate change, technological transformation, economic recessions, and political instability. Our company continues to monitor international situations and diversify regional sales to ensure operational risk management.

- The company is a holding company that relies on the performance of its subsidiaries and their ability to distribute dividends, and is subject to restrictions on dividend distribution and capital transfers.
As a holding company established in the Cayman Islands with no commercial operations, the company, aside from holding shares in its subsidiaries, has no other assets or liabilities. Therefore, its sources of income primarily come from the operations of its subsidiaries. The subsidiary in Thailand is an important source of operational profit for the group, so the company’s revenue and cash dividends are subject to the subsidiary's dividend policy or future investment plans. Since the subsidiary’s dividend distribution is also subject to local regulations regarding dividend payments, revenue repatriation, cash transfers, and foreign exchange management, and may be influenced by exchange rate fluctuations, the company cannot fully control or manage the level of dividends. Additionally, the company’s subsidiaries are independent legal entities. In the event that a subsidiary goes bankrupt, loses its ability to settle debts, undergoes reorganization, liquidation, or asset realization, the company’s ability to obtain assets or receive allocations will be subordinated to the claims of the subsidiary's creditors, including the subsidiary's business partners.
- Other important matters: None.

If the number of shares represented at the meeting is less than the aforementioned threshold, such resolutions may be adopted with the presence of shareholders representing more than one-half of the total issued shares and the consent of two-thirds or more of the voting rights of the shareholders present: 1. The Company’s entering into, amendment, or termination of any contract for leasing out its entire business, entrusting business operations to others, or regular joint operation with others; transfer of all or a major part of its business or assets; or acceptance of another’s business or assets which has a significant impact on the Company’s operations. 2. Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation. 3. Where any amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is detrimental to the rights of preferred shareholders, a resolution of the preferred shareholders' meeting shall also be required. |
1. Regarding the method of shareholder meeting resolutions:In addition to ordinary resolutions and special resolutions under Taiwanese law, Article 1.1 of the company’s articles of association also provides for a "Special Resolution" as defined under the Cayman Islands Companies Law. This means that at the company’s shareholder meeting, a resolution may be passed if shareholders with the right to vote are present in person, by proxy, or by a representative legally authorized by a corporate or non-natural person shareholder. After calculating the number of voting rights each shareholder is entitled to, the resolution must be approved by at least two-thirds of the voting rights of the attending shareholders. 2. According to the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Law, the following matters must be resolved by a special resolution: (1 )Amendment of the Articles of Association Under Cayman Islands law, amendments to the Articles of Association must be made through a Special Resolution as defined by the Cayman Islands Companies Law. Therefore, Article 12.1 of the Company's Articles of Association regarding the resolution threshold for amending the Articles has not been changed to comply with the requirement of a "supermajority resolution" under the laws of our country as per the shareholder rights protection checklist. In addition, according to Article 13 of the Articles of Association, if any amendment or modification of the Articles affects the preferential rights of anyclass of |

shares, such modification or amendment must be approved by a Special Resolution and should also be approved by a separate Special Resolution passed at a shareholders' meeting of the affected class of shares. (2) Dissolution: Under Cayman Islands law, if a company resolves to voluntarily liquidate and dissolve due to its inability to settle debts when due, such dissolution must be approved by a shareholders' meeting resolution. However, if the company resolves to voluntarily liquidate and dissolve for reasons other than the inability to settle debts when due, the dissolution must be approved by a Special Resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law. Therefore, the resolution threshold in Article 12.4(a) of the company's Articles of Association for voluntary liquidation and dissolution due to the inability to settle debts when due has not been changed to a "supermajority resolution" under the laws of our country, as required by the shareholder rights protection checklist. (3)Merger: Due to mandatory provisions under the Cayman Islands Companies Law regarding the voting method for a "merger" as defined by Cayman Islands law, Article 12.3(b) of the company's Articles of Association stipulates that a "merger" (except for mergers or acquisitions as defined under Cayman Islands law, which only require a Special Resolution) must be approved by a supermajority resolution. 3. The difference between the aforementioned matters and the Shareholder Rights Protection Checklist is that the matters requiring a supermajority resolution under the Shareholder Rights Protection Checklist are separately regulated as either |
195
| Material matters of protection of shareholder equity |
Articles of Association and reasons of differences |
|---|---|
| supermajority resolutions or special resolutions in the company's Articles of Association. These differences arise from the provisions of Cayman Islands law. Since the company's Articles of Association have already separately listed the matters requiring a supermajority resolution for shareholder rights protection, as either supermajority resolutions or special resolutions, the impact of the company's Articles of Association on shareholder rights in this regard should be limited |
|
| 1. If a company appoints supervisors, they shall be elected by the shareholders' meeting, and at least one of the supervisors must have a domicile in the coumtry. 2. The term of office for supervisors shall not exceed three years; however, they may be re-elected for consecutive terms. 3. In the event that all supervisors are dismissed, the Board of Directors shall convene an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting within sixty days to elect new supervisors. 4. Supervisors shall supervise the execution of company operations and may investigate the company’s business and financial status at any time. They may audit, copy, or duplicate books and documents and may request reports from the Board of Directors or managers. 5. Supervisors shall audit the various reports prepared by the Board of Directors and submitted to the shareholders’ meeting, and shall report their opinions at the shareholders’ meeting. 6. When performing audit tasks, supervisors may, on behalf of the company, appoint accountants or lawyers to conduct reviews. 7. Supervisors may attend board meetings to express opinions. If the Board of Directors or any director engages in any conduct that violates laws, the Articles of Incorporation, or resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting, supervisors shall immediately notify the Board or the director to cease such actions. 8. Each supervisor mayindependentlyexercise |
The Cayman Islands Companies Law does not include the concept of a "supervisor," and as the company has established an audit committee instead of appointing supervisors, there are no provisions related to supervisors in the Articles of Association. |

| supervisory powers. 9. Supervisors may not concurrently serve as company directors, managers, or other employees. |
|
| 1. A shareholder who has continuously held more than 1% of the total issued shares of the company for over six months may request in writing that the supervisor file a lawsuit on behalf of the company against a director, and may designate the Taiwan Taipei District Court as the court of first instance. 2. If the supervisor fails to initiate the lawsuit within 30 days of receiving the shareholder's request, the shareholder may file the lawsuit on behalf of the company and may designate the Taiwan Taipei District Court as the court with jurisdiction. 3. The supervisor or the independent directors of the Audit Committee may, for the benefit of the company and when necessary, convene a shareholders’ meeting if the Board of Directors fails or is unable to do so. |
There is no notion of “supervisors” in Cayman Islands’ Company Act and the Company has set up the Audit Committee, so there are no relevant regulations of supervisors in the Articles of Association. Only about the regulation of minor shareholders’ request to institute an action 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 havingbeen |

| Material matters of protection of shareholder equity |
Articles of Association and reasons of differences |
|---|---|
| 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 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 |
198
| Material matters of protection of shareholder equity |
Articles of Association and reasons of differences |
|---|---|
| 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, 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 convening board meetings.) |
|
| 1. The directors of the Company shall faithfully execute their duties and exercise the duty of care of a good administrator. If they breach such duties and cause damages to the Company, they shall be liable for compensation. If such conduct was carried out for their own or others' benefit, the shareholders' meeting may resolve to treat the gains from such conduct as income 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 anyloss |

| 2. If the directors of the Company, in the course of executing the Company's business, violate laws or regulations and cause damages to others, they shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for such damages. 3. The managers and supervisors of the Company, within the scope of their duties, shall bear the same liability for damages as the directors of the Company. |
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 become jointly and 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, |
200
| Material matters of protection of shareholder equity |
Articles of Association and reasons of differences |
|---|---|
| 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. |
|
| Upon review, the Company intends to pass amendments to its Articles of Incorporation at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting this year, in order to align with the shareholder rights protection items listed in the Checklist for Protecting Shareholders’ Rights. As for certain discrepancies, they either involve provisions stricter than those under ROC regulations or do not materially violate the content of the checklist; therefore, they are not expected to have any adverse impact on shareholders' rights. |
