REGAL HOLDING CO., LTD. 2022 Operating Report

Although the new coronavirus epidemic situation gradually eased in 2022, after the outbreak of the war between Russia and Ukraine at beginning of the year, the world faced a series of chain effects of high inflation, interest rate rises by major central banks, and reduced non-essential spending by consumers. The international economy still faced lots of challenges. Under the significant turbulence of the global jewelry market, Regal Holdings was affected by customers' order adjustments from the first quarter. As a response, all colleagues in Regal Holdings adhered to the spirit of unremitting efforts, with the goal of the largest unit output value, adjusting the factory production capacity and organizational manpower, and improving the outsourcing strategy. At the same time, we reviewed and set the business strategy and action plan for each customer, and continued to expand the sales of accessories, and thus made a small profit throughout the year.

The consolidated operating income of Regal Holdings for 2022 was NTD 1,650,906 thousand dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 20.95%. The consolidated net profit after tax was NTD 43,559 thousand dollars, and the earnings per share was NTD 0.85. From the perspective of the jewelry manufacturing income portfolio, metalworking revenue decreased by approximately 19% annually, and the gross profit margin of metalworking in 2022 decreased slightly to 21.06% from the 27.78% in the previous year. This was mainly due to the increase in unit cost of products. The plating revenue decreased by about 15.22% year-on-year, however, the gross profit margin of plating increased to 14.85% from the 11.25% in the previous year, mainly due to high gross profit orders and the proper cost control of precious metal procurement.

In order to effectively manage costs, we not only strengthened the monthly order and production line manpower adjustment mechanism, but also continued to improve the outsourcing strategy and upgrade the Group's software and hardware to enhance department efficiency. The overall operating expenses decreased by 12.23% compared to 2021. In the face of our major customers' strategy to increase their in-house production capacity and outsource highly difficult products, we continued to improve our production process and reduce unnecessary steps, while increasing new customers and product categories. In addition, in order to cope with the risk of fluctuations in international exchange rates and precious metal prices, we continued to adopt a conservative hedging strategy by dynamically adjusting the most suitable position for risk management, with the aim of minimizing the uncertainty of financial costs on profitability.

Looking ahead to 2023, although there are still uncertainties in the global market, such as war, high inflation and interest rate rises that affect consumer confidence. However, we believe that Regal Holding will continue to achieve good performance, delivering high quality products to our customers and consumers around the world. On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management team, we would like to sincerely thank all the shareholders of Regal Holding for their trust under many challenges. In 2023, we will continue to lead the Company forward and strive to create new growth opportunities for the Company and customers.

  • 2.2 Unless otherwise provided in the Articles, the issue of new shares of the Company shall be approved by a majority of the Directors at a meeting attended by two-thirds or more of the total number of the Directors. The issue of new shares shall at all times be subject to the sufficiency of the authorized capital of the Company.
  • 2.3 For so long as the shares are traded on the ESM or listed on the TPEx or TSE, where the Company increases its issued share capital by issuing new shares for cash consideration in the ROC, the Company shall allocate 10% of the total amount of the new shares to be issued, for offering in the ROC to the public ("Public Offering Portion") unless it is not necessary or appropriate, as determined by the FSC or the TPEx or TSE (as the case may be) for the Company to conduct the aforementioned public offering or otherwise provided by Applicable Law. However, if a percentage higher than the aforementioned 10% is resolved by the Members in a general meeting by Ordinary Resolution to be offered, the percentage determined by such resolution shall prevail and shares corresponding to such percentage shall be reserved as Public Offering Portion. The Company may also reserve 10% to 15% of such new shares for subscription by the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the "Employee Subscription Portion"). The Company may prohibit such employees from transferring the shares so subscribed within a certain period; provided, however, that such a period cannot be more than two years.
  • 2.4 Unless otherwise resolved by the Members in general meeting by Ordinary Resolution, where the Company increases its issued share capital by issuing new shares for cash consideration pursuant to Article 2.3 hereof, after allocation of the Public Offering Portion, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any percentage in excess of 10% of the total amount of the new shares to be issued for offering in the ROC to the public as resolved by the Members in general meeting be offered pursuant to Article 2.3, and the Employee Subscription Portion pursuant to Article 2.3 hereof, the Company shall make a public announcement and notify each Member in writing that he is entitled to exercise a pre-emptive right to purchase his pro rata portion of the remaining new shares, to be issued in the capital increase for cash consideration.

Where an exercise of the pre-emptive right may result in fractional entitlement of a Member, the entitlements (including

fractional entitlements) of two or more Members may be combined to jointly subscribe for one or more whole new shares in the name of a single Member, subject to compliance with such directions and terms and conditions as determined by the Board and the Applicable Public Company Rules. If the total number of the new shares to be issued has not been fully subscribed for by the Members within the prescribed period, the Company may consolidate such shares into the public offering tranche or offer any un-subscribed new shares to a specific person or persons in such manner as is consistent with the Applicable Public Company Rules.

  • 2.6 The pre-emptive right of Members under Article 2.4 shall not apply in the event that new shares are issued due to the following reasons or for the following purposes:
  • (a) in connection with a Merger, spin-off, acquisition, share exchange, or pursuant to any reorganization of the Company;

  • 2.9 Options, warrants or other similar instruments issued in accordance with Article 2.8 above are not transferable save by inheritance.

  • 2.10 Directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for Restricted Shares pursuant to Article 2.5 hereof or the incentive programmes pursuant to Article 2.8 hereof, provided that directors who are also employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries may subscribe for Restricted Shares or participate in an incentive programme in their capacity as an employee and not as a director of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

  • 2.11 The Company may enter into agreements with employees of the Company and/or the employees of its Subsidiaries in relation to the incentive programme approved pursuant to Article 2.8 above, whereby employees may subscribe for, within a specific period, a specific number of the shares. The terms and conditions of such agreements shall be no less restrictive on the relevant employee than the terms specified in the applicable incentive programme.
  • 2.12 Where a subscriber of new shares delays payment for the shares, the Company shall fix a period of not less than one month and request the subscriber to pay, declaring that in case of default of payment within the stipulated period the right shall be void. After the Company has made the aforesaid request, the right of the subscriber who fails to pay accordingly shall be void. Under the aforesaid circumstances, compensation for losses or damages of the Company, if any, may still be claimed against such subscriber.
  • 2.13 For so long as the Company issues new shares and the shares of the Company are traded on the ESM or listed on the TPEx or TSE, where the publicly announces period for payment of subscription is longer than one month, the rights of the subscribers who fail to pay shall be void, and Article 2.12 shall not be applicable.

Upon approval by Members by way of an Ordinary Resolution to repurchase and cancel shares of the Company, the repurchase price may be paid in any manner authorized by the Law, including in cash or in kind, provided that where any repurchase price is to be paid in kind, the monetary equivalent value of such payment in kind shall be (a) assessed by an ROC certified public accountant before being submitted by the Board to the Members for approval as part of the Ordinary Resolution authorising the repurchase and cancellation of shares of the Company; and (b) agreed to individually by each Member who will be receiving the repurchase price in kind.
