4) Research and development
Our Company’s research and development can be divided into two main areas, the first being production process improvement and the second being new product development:
13
1. Production process improvement
- (1) Applying glazes to the inlet pipes of one-piece toilets and medium to large toilets makes the inside of the pipes less dirty and improves flushing performance.
- (2) Optimizing the glaze of porcelain enhances the surface resistance to stains and the brightness of the glaze.
- (3) Completion of an automatic blanking system for the high pressure production to the oil inspection section.
2. New product development
- (1) Our Company’s primary focus is on the development of technology-based sanitary ware, by incorporating a number of technologies to differentiate our products from others and provide consumers with a better product experience, such as: toilets combined with a new generation of intelligent ion sensor technology, ozone sterilization — deodorization technology application, Microbubble micro bubble shower — to achieve deep skin cleansing and moisturizing effect, as well as the development of a computer toilet and a computer toilet seat with advanced functions. We are going to join hands with Amsalp Biomedical Corp to develop a series of long-lasting germicidal cleaning and other related bathroom products for high-tech sanitary ware.
- (2) To cope with the escalation of the pandemic and enhance the quality of life of the people, we have developed a series of ozone sterilization products for public spaces (e.g. toilet flushes, sensor faucets) to boost the quality of public hygiene.
- (3) The product design has been developed towards the concept of serialization and total sanitary space matching, while the product range has been simplified to eliminate the old models and move towards a modern and simple style.
- (4) In response to the future market trend of bathroom storage and basin cabinet sets, we have developed a variety of new FFC cabinet basins using FFC technology in 2018. Upon production of the bathroom cabinets, the modular design is expected to reduce costs and expedite the development of models. New products are developed in a variety of colors, combinations and space expansion to cater to the needs of the market and to provide consumers with the most economical choice at a reasonable price.
-

III. Accountant’s Audit Reports and 2020 Financial Statements
Accountant's Audit Report
To Sanitar Co., Ltd.:
Audit opinion
I have audited the financial statements of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries, which comprise the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as at Dec. 31, 2020 and Dec. 31, 2019, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2020 and from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2019, Consolidated Statement of Change in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Consolidated Financial Statement Notes (including a summary of significant accounting policies).
In my opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), and Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) (hereinafter r eferred to as IFRSs) recognized and announced effectiveness by Financial Supervisory Commission (hereinafter referred to as FSC) so as to give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries as of December 2020 and 2019 and of the financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Basis for audit opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with Regulations G overning Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Accountant's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements' section of our report. I am independent of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Key Audit Matter
17
The key auditing matter is which that, in my professional judgment, is most significant to my review of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries for 2020. Such matter has been considered in the process of examining the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole and forming an opinion thereon, and I do not express an opinion on the matter individually.
The following is the description of the key audit matter in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsi diaries for 2020:
Key Audit Matter: Authenticity in Sales to Specific Customers
Due to the significant audit risk associated with the revenue recognition under auditing standards, Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries are mainly dealing with distributo rs and have added significant sales from specific non -distributor customers, therefore, based on the consideration of the materiality of the financial statements, the authenticity in sales revenue from specific customers with high order amounts and signifi cant new sales in the current year is considered as a key audit matter. Please refer to Notes 4(11) and 20 to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
In connection with the above key matter, I conducted the following principal audit procedures:
-
To understand, evaluate and test the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system related to revenue recognition.
-
To obtain a detailed sales breakdown from specific customers in fiscal 2020, verify the original orders, delivery notes, invoices and other related documents of the relevant transactions, and verify with the recorded amounts to confirm the authenticity of the revenues.
-
To obtain a breakdown of subsequent sales returns from specific customers, verify the related documents and examine the reasonableness of the returns.
Other Matters
Sanitar Co., Ltd. has prepared its Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and I have provided my unqualified opinion on those statements for reference.
Responsibilities of management and directors for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Regulations Gove rning the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs recognized and announced effectiveness by FSC, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
18
unless management either intends to liquidate Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative, but to do so.
The responsibilities of the governing body (including super ) include overseeing the financial reporting process of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries
19
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
My objectives are to obtain reaso nable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reaso nably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken in the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. I also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for audit opinions. Because fraud may be related to conspiracy, forgery, deliberate omission, false statement or breach of internal control, the risk of a material misstatement caused by fraud which is not identified is higher than the risk of a material misstatement caused by any error.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the internal control effectiveness of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries.
-
Assess the appropriateness of management’s use of accounting policies and the reasonability of the accounting estimate and relevant disclosure.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclos ures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including the relevant notes), and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
I have obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence to audit the consolidated financial information of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. I am responsible for the guidance, supervision and
20
execution of the audit and for forming an audit opinion on Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries.
I communicate with the governing body regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal controls that we identify during our audit).
I have also provided the governing body with a statement that the independence -regulated personnel of the firm to which I am affil iated have complied with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants with respect to independence, and communicate with the governing body about all relationships and other matters (including related protective measures) that may be considered to affect the accountant's independence.
I have determined the key audit matter for the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Sanitar Co., Ltd. and Its Subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2020 from the communications I have had with the gove rning body. I identified such matter in my auditor's report, except for those matters that are not permitted by law to be disclosed publicly or, in the rarest of circumstances, I decided not to communicate those matters in my auditor's report because I reasonably could expect the negative effect of such communication to outweigh the public interest.

Accountant's Audit Report
To Sanitar Co., Ltd.:
Audit opinion
I have audited the financial statements of Sanitar Co., Ltd., which comprise the Parent Company Only Statements of Financial Position as at Dec. 31, 2020 and Dec. 31, 2019, the Parent Company Only Statements of Comprehensive Income from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2020 and from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2019, Parent Company Only Statement of Change in Equity, Parent Company Only Statement of Cash Flows, and Parent Company Only Financial Statement Notes (including a summary of significant accounting policies).
In my opinion, the accompanying Parent Company Only Financial Statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers so as to give a true and fair view of the Parent Company Only Financ ial Position of the Sanitar Co., Ltd. as of December 2020 and 2019 and of the Parent Company Only Financial Performance and Cash Flows of Sanitar Co., Ltd. from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Basis for audit opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance with Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Accountant's responsibilities for the audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements' section of my report. I am independent of Sanitar Co., Ltd. in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountan ts and Accounting Entities, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.
Key Audit Matter
The key auditing matter is which that, in my professional judgment, is most significant to my review of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Sanitar Co., Ltd. for 2020. Such matter has been considered in the process of examining the Parent Company Only Financial Statements taken as a whole and forming an opinion thereon, and I do not express an opinion on the matter individually.
28
The following is the description of the key audit matter in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Sanitar Co., Ltd. for 2020:
Key Audit Matter: Authenticity in Sales to Specific Customers
Due to the significant audit risk associated with the revenue recognition under auditing standards, Sanitar Co., Ltd. are mainly dealing with distributors and have added s ignificant sales from specific non-distributor customers, therefore, based on the consideration of the materiality of the financial statements, the authenticity in sales revenue from specific customers with high order amounts and significant new sales in t he current year is considered as a key audit matter. Please refer to Notes 4(11) and 19 to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
In connection with the above key matter, I conducted the following principal audit procedures:
-
To understand, evaluate and test the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system related to revenue recognition.
-
To obtain a detailed sales breakdown from specific customers in fiscal 2020, verify the original orders, delivery notes, invo ices and other related documents of the relevant transactions, and verify with the recorded amounts to confirm the authenticity of the revenues.
-
To obtain a breakdown of subsequent sales returns from specific customers, verify the related documents and examine the reasonableness of the returns.
Responsibilities of management and directors for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition.
In preparing the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability of Sanitar Co., Ltd. to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Sanitar Co., Ltd. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative, but to do so.
The responsibilities of the governing body (includin g supervisors) include overseeing the financial reporting process of Sanitar Co., Ltd.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Parent Company Only Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
29
error and are considered material if, individual ly or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken in the basis of these Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. I also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for audit opinions. Because fraud may be related to conspiracy, forgery, deliberate omission, false statement or breach of internal control, the risk of a material misstatement caused by fraud which is not identified is higher than the risk of a material misstatement caused by any error.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the internal control effectiveness of Sanitar Co., Ltd.
-
Assess the appropriateness of management’s use of accounting policies and the reasonability of the accounting estimate and rele vant disclosure.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant dou bt on the ability of Sanitar Co., Ltd. to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements o r, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause Sanitar Co., Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements (including the relevant notes), and whether the Parent Company Only Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
I have obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence to audit the Parent Company Only Financial Information of Sanitar Co., Ltd. to express an opinion on the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. I am responsible for the guidance, supervision and execution of the audit and for forming an audit opinion on Sanitar Co., Ltd.
-
I communicate with the governing body regarding, among other matters, the planned
-
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal controls that we identify during our audit).
-
I have also provided the governing body with a statement that the independence -regulated
-
personnel of the firm to which I am affiliated have complie d with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants with respect to independence, and communicate with the governing

body about all relationships and other matters (including related protective measures) that may be considered to affect the accountant's independence.
I have determined the key audit matter for the audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Sanitar Co., Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2020 from the communications I have had with the governing body. I identified such matter in my auditor's report, except for those matters that are not permitted by law to be disclosed publicly or, in the rarest of circumstances, I decided not to communicate those matters in my auditor's report because I reasonably could expect the negative effect of such communication to outweigh the public interest.

Based on the results of the performance evaluation, the directors and supervisors of the Company have performed their duties with reasonable compensation.
-
(2) Remuneration: According to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, if the Company has annual net income before tax, no more than 2% shall be set aside as remuneration for directors and supervisors. 2% of the remuneration for directors and supervisors is NT$5,833,000, and the remuneration for individual directors and supervisors shall be allocated in proportion to their individual income bases, with one base each for good performance and special contribution to the Company's business. Except for the Chairman of the Board who makes special contributions to the Company's business due to his management position, the other directors and supervisors are allocated one base each.

(1) Salary: The salary is determined based on the duration of service, contribution and hard work, and with reference to the market rate in the industry. All of our managers are with management, business, and financial experience, and a certain level of performance in each of the performance indicators, so their salaries are reasonable.
-
(2) Bonuses: Year-end bonuses and operating bonuses. The year-end bonus for managers other than the general manager is based on monthly salary, payment base and performance appraisal base; the operating bonus for the general manager is based on 0.5% of the annual consolidated net income before tax.

-
(3) Employee compensation: According to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, 2% to 5% of the Company's annual net income before tax should be set aside as employee compensation, and the amount of individual manager's compensation will be granted depending on the annual performance.

Where re-election of all directors and supervisors as well as their inauguration date is stated in the notice of the reasons for convening the shareholders meeting, after the completion of the re-election in said meeting such inauguration date may not be altered by any extraordinary motion or otherwise in the same meeting.
A shareholder holding one percent or more of the total number of issued shares may submit to the Company a written proposal for discussion at a regular shareholders meeting. The number of items so proposed, however, is limited to one only, and no proposal containing more than one item will be included in the meeting agenda, provided a shareholder proposal for urging the corporation to promote public interests or fulfill its social responsibilities may still be included in the agenda by the board of directors. In addition, when the circumstances of any subparagraph of Article 172-1, Paragraph 4 of the Company Act apply to a proposal put forward by a shareholder, the board of directors may exclude it from the agenda.
Prior to the book closure date before a regular shareholders meeting is held, the Company shall publicly announce its acceptance of shareholder proposals in writing or electronically, and the location and time period for their submission; the period for submission of shareholder proposals may not be less than 10 days.
Shareholder-submitted proposals are limited to 300 words, and no proposal containing more than 300 words will be included in the meeting agenda. The shareholder making the proposal shall be present in person or by proxy at the regular shareholders meeting and take part in discussion of the proposal.

84

A shareholder may issue only one proxy form and appoint only one proxy for any given shareholders meeting, and shall deliver the proxy form to the Company before five days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate proxy forms are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail unless a declaration is made to cancel the previous proxy appointment.
After a proxy form has been delivered to the Company, if the shareholder intends to attend the meeting in person or to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronically, a written notice of proxy cancellation shall be submitted to the Company before two business days before the meeting date. If the cancellation notice is submitted after that time, votes cast at the meeting by the proxy shall prevail.
Article 5 The venue for a shareholders meeting shall be the premises of the Company, or a place easily accessible to shareholders and suitable for a shareholders meeting. The meeting may begin no earlier than 9 a.m. and no later than 3 p.m. Full consideration shall be given to the opinions of the independent directors with respect to the place and time of the meeting.
Article 6 The Company shall specify in its shareholders meeting notices the time during which shareholder attendance registrations will be accepted, the place to register for attendance, and other matters for attention.
The time during which shareholder attendance registrations will be accepted, as stated in the preceding paragraph, shall be at least 30 minutes prior to the time the meeting commences. The place at which attendance registrations are accepted shall be clearly marked and a sufficient number of suitable personnel assigned to handle the registrations.
Shareholders and their proxies (collectively, “shareholders”) shall attend shareholders meetings based on attendance cards, sign-in cards, or other certificates of attendance. The Company may not arbitrarily add requirements for other documents beyond those showing eligibility to attend presented by shareholders. Solicitors soliciting proxy forms shall also bring identification documents for verification.
The Company shall furnish the attending shareholders with an attendance book to sign, or attending shareholders may hand in a sign-in card in lieu of signing in.
85
The Company shall furnish attending shareholders with the meeting agenda book, annual report, attendance card, speaker’s slips, voting slips, and other meeting materials. Where there is an election of directors or supervisors, pre-printed ballots shall also be furnished.
When the government or a juristic person is a shareholder, it may be represented by more than one representative at a shareholders meeting. When a juristic person is appointed to attend as proxy, it may designate only one person to represent it in the meeting.
Article 7
If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the chairperson of the board. When the chairperson of the board is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the chairperson, the vice chairperson shall act in place of the chairperson; if there is no vice chairperson or the vice chairperson also is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the vice chairperson, the chairperson shall appoint one of the managing directors to act as chair, or, if there are no managing directors, one of the directors shall be appointed to act as chair. Where the chairperson does not make such a designation, the managing directors or the directors shall select from among themselves one person to serve as chair.
When a managing director or a director serves as chair, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the managing director or director shall be one who has held that position for six months or more and who understands the financial and business conditions of the company. The same shall be true for a representative of a juristic person director that serves as chair.
It is advisable that shareholders meetings convened by the board of directors be chaired by the chairperson of the board in person and attended by a majority of the directors, at least one supervisor in person, and at least one member of each functional committee on behalf of the committee. The attendance shall be recorded in the meeting minutes.
If a shareholders meeting is convened by a party with power to convene but other than the board of directors, the convening party shall chair the meeting. When there are two or more such convening parties, they shall mutually select a chair from among themselves.
The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders meeting in a non-voting capacity.

Article 8
86
registration procedure, the proceedings of the shareholders meeting, and the voting and vote counting procedures.
The recorded materials of the preceding paragraph shall be retained for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
Article 9
Attendance at shareholders meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the attendance book and sign-in cards handed in plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronically.
The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned.
If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding paragraph, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to Article 175, paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders meeting shall be convened within one month.
When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act.
Article 10
If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors. Votes shall be cast on each separate proposal in the agenda (including extraordinary motions and amendments to the original proposals set out in the agenda). The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders meeting.
The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the board of directors.
87
The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, the other members of the board of directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting.
Article 11
Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker’s slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair.
A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker’s slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker’s slip, the spoken content shall prevail.
Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder’s speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violation.
When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal.
After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares.
Article 12
88
With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Company, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders. With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.
Article 13
A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
When the Company holds a shareholder meeting, it shall adopt exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt exercise of voting rights by correspondence. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person, but to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting; it is therefore advisable that the Company avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals. A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company before two days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.
After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person, a written declaration of intent to retract the
89
voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to the Company, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before two business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company.
Vote counting for shareholders meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.
Article 14 The election of directors or supervisors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the applicable election and appointment rules adopted by the Company, and the voting results shall be announced on-site immediately, including the names of those elected as directors and supervisors and the numbers of votes with which they were elected.
The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
90
Article 15
Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes. The meeting minutes shall be signed or sealed by the chair of the meeting and a copy distributed to each shareholder within 20 days after the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting minutes may be produced and distributed in electronic form. The Company may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the MOPS. The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the chair’s full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their voting results (including the number of voting rights), and disclose the number of voting rights won by each candidate in the event of an election of directors or supervisors. The minutes shall be retained for the duration of the existence of the Company.
Article 16 On the day of a shareholders meeting, the Company shall compile in the prescribed format a statistical statement of the number of shares obtained by solicitors through solicitation and the number of shares represented by proxies, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at the place of the shareholders meeting.
If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (or GreTai Securities Market) regulations, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.
Article 17 Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders meeting shall wear identification cards or arm bands. The chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to help maintain order at the meeting place. When proctors or security personnel help maintain order at the meeting place, they shall wear an identification card or armband bearing the word “Proctor.” At the place of a shareholders meeting, if a shareholder attempts to speak through any device other than the public address equipment set up by the Company, the chair may prevent the shareholder from so doing. When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chair’s correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.
91
Article 18 When a meeting is in progress, the chair may announce a break based on time considerations. If a force majeure event occurs, the chair may rule the meeting temporarily suspended and announce a time when, in view of the circumstances, the meeting will be resumed. If the meeting venue is no longer available for continued use and not all of the items (including extraordinary motions) on the meeting agenda have been addressed, the shareholders meeting may adopt a resolution to resume the meeting at another venue. A resolution may be adopted at a shareholders meeting to defer or resume the meeting within five days in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act.
Article 19 These Rules shall take effect after having been submitted to and approved by a shareholders meeting. Subsequent amendments thereto shall be effective in the same manner.
Article 20 These Rules were established on June 21, 2002. The 1st amendment was made on June 29, 2010. The 2nd amendment was made on May 10, 2011. The 3rd amendment was made on June 20, 2012. The 4th amendment was made on June 17, 2015. The 5th amendment was made on May 28, 2020.
