Attachment 1

Dear shareholders

At the end of 2021, one year passed since the disaster, SCI had acquired the permission of partial production resumption from the city government. We restarted our manufacture in the factory after one year had passed. When the brand-new boiler was ignited, the rumbling was like a big drum that was boosting and exciting the morale of all SCI members. Finally, the sunshine hidden for a long time revealed its silver lining behind layers of thick clouds. Partners in the same boat can deeply feel that "Everyone would encounter difficulties, but only those who bravely face them can survive ”. Last year, I just predicted that SCI would undergo two years of hardship. Thereafter, in a split second, a year had passed. Once again, I would like to thank all of our staff for sticking to their positions and all the shareholders who believe us. This year, though difficulties may occur occasionally, we will always persevere and keep on moving forward. I believe that all the SCI staff will spare no effort and commit themselves together to speed up the reconstruction progress in the next stage. All the dark clouds will eventually disperse, and the clear sky is just around the corner. Now, we are presenting the business report on the operating results of 2021 and the business plans of 2022.

Business Report

I. Annual Business Report of 2021

  • (1) Implementation results of our business plans

The operating revenue in 2021 was NT$ 864,217 thousand; the gross margin was 24%; the operating profit was NT$73,658 thousand. Due to subsequent impact caused by the fire, there were many more non-operating gains and losses in 2021; the net profit was NT$ 55,696 thousand; the basic EPS (earnings per share) was NT$0.58. SCI still made a small profit in that year when the production capacity was completely damaged.

(2) Situations of budget implementation

In 2021, SCI did not publicly unveil its financial forecasting. We have actually completed the annual budgets proposed by the management and approved by the board of directors in March 2021.

  • (3) Analyses of financial income and expenditure and profitability

9

The overview of income and expenditure in 2021 is compared and elaborated as follows:

llows:
Income:
Unit: NT$1000
2020
2021
Growth Rate
2,689,222
864,217
-67.9%
17,302
37,564
117.1%
Item 2020 2021 Growth Rate
Operating Revenue 2,689,222 864,217
-67.9%
Otherincomes 17,302 37,564
117.1%

Description:

  1. Basically, about 40% of the revenue came from the contributions performed in the factories we leased from others, while the rest was from the inventory surviving the fire. Our Business Department struggled to raise product sales prices, so that daily operation can still make contributions to both profit and cash flow.

  2. Compared with the previous year, the increase of other incomes mainly stemmed from disposing the fire-damaged equipment.

Expenditure: Unit: NT$ thousands

Item 2020 2021 Growth Rate
Operatingcost 1,414,894 656,128 -53.6%
Operatingexpense 222,750 134,431 -39.6%
Non-operatingexpense 613,665 45,716 -92.6%

Description:

  1. In 2021, our revenue was only 30% of that of the previous year, so the economic scale could not be achieved consequently, leading to the relatively high operating cost and only 24%gross margin. Besides, in the factories we leased, we could only produce intermediates which did not require drug certificate. Accordingly, the production items were limited. And we had to spend substantial expenses and time on adjusting the machinery and equipment to meet SCI’s requirements, resulting in the increase of operating cost to a certain extent.

  2. Although most of operating expenses were fixed, we were still trying to implement the policy of expenditure reduction after the disaster. Compared with those of the previous year, the operating expenses in 2021 decreased by as much as 40%.

  3. Non-operating expenses included foreign exchange loss, 40% loss of Framosa Co., Ltd’s P&L and other miscellaneous expenses. As for the details on miscellaneous expenses, shareholders can refer to the descriptions in the financial statements.

10

Analysis of profitability:

Item 2020 2021
Profitability Return On Assets(ROA) () 8.4 1.3
Return On Equity (ROE) () 10.6 1.7
Profit Margin() 13 6
Earnings Per Share (EPS)NT$ 4.53 0.58

Description:

As a whole, the profitability was severely debilitated in 2021 because the production capacity was seriously damaged.

  • (4) Situations of research and development

The new Research & Development Building was damaged by the fire to some extent. Nevertheless, in July 2021, it was completely repaired by the company within a very short time because there was no need to acquire a safety assessment for the building structure. Thereafter, relevant units could move in successively, especially the R & D Department.. The former R & D building had been torn down because of the fierce fire, and all the R & D equipment had been devastated. During this period, the R & D capacity temporarily decreased due to the lack of hardware facilities. Even so, our R & D colleagues kept on make efforts. Some of them were responsible for modifying the product manufacturing processes as well as the equipment in the factories we leased, so as to successfully introduce the products to external production. Others supported the handling of the IQ, OQ and PQ validations necessary for the newly installed equipment in order to provide assistance in accelerating the production resumption procedure in the factory. Still others were appointed to optimize the old product manufacturing processes in a bid to reduce waste as much as possible, so as to meet the world trend of ESG. We hope for saving people and the earth simultaneously. After settling in the brand-new laboratory, we have spared no effort to make up for the progress of product developments which lag behind. We successfully completed an API of controlled substance, hoping it could contribute substantial revenue and profit after commercialization.

II. Annual business plan overview of 2022

(1) Business policy

11

The business policy in the future:

  1. Restore most of the production capacity by the end of 2022 and maintain a close relationship with customers.

  2. Establish a new production plant to maintain operational flexibility.

  3. Promote circular economy to keep the sustainability of the earth.

  4. (2) Expected sales volume and its basis

1.Expected sales volume

. Expected sales volume
Item Sales volumeTons
API 216
Intermediate 111
Others 0
Total 327

2. Sales basis

The expected sales volume in the above chart is based on the company's 2022 Annual Budget approved by the board of directors. The estimation is mainly based on the external supportive capacity as well as the restoration of in-house capacity. Although most of the surviving inventory was sold, the sales revenue is still expected to grow compared with that of the previous year and, therefore, make a profit from daily operation thanks to the gradual recovery in production capacity.

  • (3) Important policies on production and marketing:

SCI formulates its policies of production and marketing mainly based on product characteristics and customer categories:

  1. APIs: The priorities are to supply products to the originators, avoid best-selling products, choose the existing APIs with high safety quality, stable market sales, new applications, and new dosage forms or possibilities for being developed into new drugs.

  2. Intermediates: The target is aimed at the supplies to the originators first. Secondly, we aim to develop intermediates with high entry barriers, intermediates subject to stricter regulations and quality management systems, intermediates related to the company's core technology,

12

intermediates with strategic cooperation partners, and the intermediates which have already been involved in the pharmaceutical R & D stage. By means of the intermediates with the aforementioned characteristics, we could achieve effective market segmentation against our competitors, so as to avoid price competition.

  1. Specialty chemicals: SCI produces and sells electronic specialty chemicals using the high standards in the pharmaceutical industry. In response to customer demand, SCI develops manufacturing processes, customized and mass producing products.

III. The company's development strategy in the future, as well as the influence caused by external competitive environments, regulatory environments and overall business environments.

After entering into the agreement with the construction contractor in Q4 2021, the Guanyin factory has been under construction in accordance with the schedule of project. The land area is nearly 1000 ping, which will accommodate a building with two floors underground and nine floors above the ground. Automatic storage systems and packaging facilities will be introduced into this factory, making the factory have better degree of intelligence than Luzhu factory. In addition, as for steam supply and solvent treatment, the neighboring affiliated corporation Framosa Co., Ltd will provide professional operations for us. Operation efficiency will be enhanced significantly. The building is expected to be completed in Q1 2023. Then the systems such as cleaning rooms, storage equipment, and electrical as well as fire protection equipment will be constructed. In addition, two production lines will be installed. After the 3Q validation is completed, the pilot run before mass production plans to be conducted in the first half of 2024. The budget for the first-stage construction of Guanyin factory is about NT$1.2 billion. In view of the company's financial soundness with no bank loans at present, the main source of funds will be from the mid-term financing provided by a bank, and we have already entered into an agreement with the correspondent bank. The overall borrowing cost can be decreased because the interests will be subsidized by National Development Fund according to the incentive projects we applied for. To deal with the addition of Guanyin factory,

13

Framosa has amended many of its original construction designs, so the implementation progress is behind schedule. Currently, its construction is planned to be started in Q2 2022. It is believed that Framosa could catch up with scheduled progress because our French counterpart is professional in this realm and will pour sufficient resources into the construction. Enterprises are facing important issues such as energy conservation, carbon emission reduction, and circular economy. The services provided by Framosa Co., Ltd. will enable SCI to enhance future competitiveness and strive for more business opportunities. Europe is the main market for the sales of SCI products, in which the schedules of carbon neutrality advancement have been undertaken more actively than those in other continents. Facing the requirements from major customers in countries such as France, SCI will begin to calculate its product carbon footprints starting from this year, hoping to finish conducting carbon footprint examination for all products as soon as possible.

The production lines were completely devastated in the fire. In 2021 and 2022, the key to our business lies in when the production capacity will be completely restored, not in market competition. In late December 2021, one line had already been resumed, but the production capacity was being recovered by approximately 10% only. It is expected to recover 40% by the end of June 2022, and the repair work of all production lines could be completed by the end of 2022. moreover, the company leases the factory and equipment from the same trade, and the lease term has been renewed until June 2022. Due to the pandemic of Covid-19, supply chains have been disrupted, resulting in severe impact on the macroeconomy. The central banks of countries around the world have poured a large amount of liquidity into the market by means of QE, resulting in soaring prices. The company has also taken advantage of this situation to increase the sales prices, for reasonably reflecting product costs. After the repair work has been completed, all the brand-new machinery and equipment will generate large amounts of depreciation, which should be handled by means of price increases and product portfolios in the future.

The GMP and ISO quality systems of SCI have not been changed due to the fire. The stipulations and operations of pharmaceutical-related regulations and laws are abided by. The drug certificates of all APIs in important regions such as

14

European Union, the United States and Japan are still maintained and remain effective. ISO 9001 quality system was audited again by a third-party certifying agency at the end of 2021, and the license is still valid. The facilities and equipment of damaged production lines will be rebuilt one by one. The manufacturing equipment, air conditioning systems, nitrogen systems and computer systems are identical to those before the fire. The tasks related to examination, confirmation and calibration have been completed step by step. As for the APIs whose drug permits and GMP certificate were temporarily suspended by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW), now they have begun to be produced successively in the area where the restoration is completed, while manufacturing process confirmation and calibration have also been carried out. In January 2022, SCI has applied to MOHW for the GMP assessments of our four APIs. It is expected that the GMP assessments will be carried out by the officials from the MOHW in March. At that time, the validation of GMP certification and the drug permits could be renewed. We will continue to apply for GMP assessments depending on product items. As for the API items produced in the already-repaired production lines that have been examined by MOHW, if such items used to be produced on the same lines and had passed the GMP assessments before the fire, there are no needs to apply for on-site GMP assessments for such items again. The validity periods of such permit licenses and GMP certificates can be prolonged, as long as the company reports to the MOHW by submitting relevant basic data. As for the intermediates produced by the equipment in the factories we leased from the same trade, we have completed the manufacturing process verifications successively. After the intermediates are transported back to SCI to manfacture APIs and the manufacturing process confirmation and calibration have been implemented again, we will report the relevant data of the leased factory to the US FDA and European EDQM by putting registration marks on the drug permit licenses. The data officially registered in Japan include factory settings and equipment list. Therefore, it is necessary to report the production areas and equipment that have changed after the fire, which will continue to be done, as the progress of factory rebuilding keeps going on. The MOHW is promoting the Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and has announced that the product distribution operations of all API factories should undergo relevant

15

assessments and meet the requirements of laws and regulations by the end of 2022. SCI is experienced in GMP operation; therefore, the management of distribution and supply chain has also been completed on this basis. SCI is fully confident when facing the GDP audits performed by the MOHW.

SCI is the world's largest producer of valproic acid series for epilepsy medicine; one of such items is sold back to the originator. In 2021, due to the company’s incapability of supplying products to the market, there was a global shortage of this pharmaceutical ingredient. Considering the domestic pharmaceutical demand, the MOHW controlled the export of this API to ensure that Taiwan has enough safety stocks. In 2020, due to pandemic prevention for Covid-19, the hydroxychloroquinine produced by the company was subject to the control by the MOHW. In fact, SCI plays an important role in supplying numerous API products. The API industry was included in the USA manufacturing policies proposed by Trump the former US President. From the descriptions above, we know that the importance of API is no less than those of other industries such as semiconductor industry. We are grateful for shareholders who recognize and support SCI and who never leave us. Although we suffered from a major setback, the stouthearted SCI has not collapsed. We are getting up, believing that we can rejuvenate the company next year, continuing to shine on the global stage of pharmaceutical industry.

Finally,

Wish you all happiness, health, and safety.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of SCI Pharmtech, Inc.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of SCI Pharmtech, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“ IFRIC” ) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“ the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judged shall be presented in the financial report as follows:

1. Inventory valuation

Please refer to Note 4(h) and Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy of inventory valuation, as well as the estimation of inventory valuation, respectively. Information regarding the inventory and related expenses are shown in Note 6(e) of the consolidated financial statements.

KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee. 17

Description of key audit matters:

Due to the characteristics of the pharmaceutical industry, products are manufactured for specific customers, providing batch-specific differentiation services according to their needs while the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventory. If there were no objective information regarding the current sales price available for reference, the Group has to make an evaluation of each product's various factors, such as the demands of the market, to determine the net realizable value of the product. As the reasonableness of estimation might have an impact on the inventory valuation, the test of inventory valuation is one of the key audit matters in our audit.

Our audit procedures include:

Assessing the reasonableness of provision policies and procedures on allowance for inventory valuation losses, including the evaluation of changes in the market, customer demand and inventory turn-over to identify the obsolete inventories.

  • Performing a retrospective review of inventory movements to evaluate the reasonableness of inventory obsolescence reserve policy and policy on scrapping of inventories.

  • Sampling and inspecting the Group’s sales price; as well as verifying the calculation of the lower of cost or net realizable value; evaluating the adopted net realizable value as a basis for obsolete inventories.

2. Revenue recognition

Please refer to Note 4(o) of the consolidated financial statements, for the accounting policy of Revenue recognition for operating revenue recognition.

Description of key audit matters:

The Group’ s main products are the manufacture of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, and Intermediates, etc. The Group’ s major customers are foreign pharmaceutical companies that have transaction terms different from each other, and the revenue recognition was booked by using manual adjustments, which may result in an inappropriate risk in revenue recognition. Therefore, the revenue recognition is one of the key audit matters in our audit.

Our audit procedures include:

Understanding and testing the related controls surrounding the aforementioned sales and collection cycle;

  • Testing of details;

Verifying whether the revenue had been recognized in the proper period by testing the selected sales transactions before and after the balance sheet date in order to evaluate the accuracy of the timing of the Group's operating revenue recognition.

3. Disaster indemnity estimates for major disasters

As stated in Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements, SCI Pharmatech, Inc., a major fire accident occurred on December 20, 2020 and caused major damage. Because the fire spead to several nearby factories, the Company is actively negotiating related compensation losses with these damaged companies. As the assessment of the compensation loss involves significant accounting judgments and estimates of the management, the compensation loss estimates for major disasters is considered as one of the significant evaluations in our audit procedures.

18

Our audit procedures include:

  • ‧ Evaluating the adequacy of the provision relating to the fire indemnity based on the insurance verification report, which was claimed by the damaged companies, and the value identification of damaged assets reports, which were prepared by the professional third-party.

  • ‧ Sampling and inspecting the actual payments of the indemnity and the settle agreements; and verifying the correctness of the accounting records.

Other Matter

SCI Pharmtech Inc. has additionally prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion including an emphasis of matter paragraph.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

19

  1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  2. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’ s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’ s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  3. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  4. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuan-Ying Kuo and Shu-Min Hsu.

Attachment 5

Report on the compensation for directors

  • B. Directors :

  • (a)Policy: To implement corporate governance and complete directors’ compensation system in a bid to

make directors’ compensation transparent, reasonable, and systematic.

  • (b)Standard: The remuneration committee and the board of directors enacted the “salaries and remuneration procedure for directors” on June 25, 2021, in accordance with the scale and complexity of the operation as well as the market standard. Distribution will be made considering the individual director’s contribution to the company. In principle, the overall remuneration of independent Directors will be more than normal directors on the grounds that independent directors concurrently serve as members of the functional committees, spending more time and effort and bearing heavier responsibilities.

  • (c) Combinations:

  • 1.Remuneration:

  • In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, if the company makes a profit within the year, the remuneration committee will consider the overall performance of the board of directors, operational performance of the company, and the future operation and risk of the company, and then make a suggestion of providing no more than 2% of the profit as the remuneration for Directors.

  • 2.Salary:

The salary of each director is NT$30,000 per month. But this payment is not applicable to those

who concurrently serve as the managers of the company, its subsidiaries and parent company.

  • 3.Others:

  • No transportation allowance, special disbursement, travel reimbursement, and other payments. However, the company shall reimburse directors for the air tickets and accommodation fees if the director makes a business trip required for the company’s businesses.

  • (d) The procedures for deciding remuneration:

  • On March 18, 2022, the remuneration of NT$876,000 equal to 1.2% of the company’s 2021 profit was approved by the remuneration committee and then the board of directors.

  • The Company completed the performance evaluation of directors on January 24, 2022, (Please refer

  • to page 37) and took this assessment result into consideration for the distribution of directors' remuneration.

  • (e) Future Risks: The salary is fixed and the remuneration is proportional to profit, which see no significant future risks.

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. Prior to the date for issuance of notice of a shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall inform the shareholders who submitted proposals of the proposal screening results, and shall list in the meeting notice the proposals that conform to the provisions of this article. At the shareholders meeting the board of directors shall explain the reasons for exclusion of any shareholder proposals not included in the agenda.

Article 4

For each shareholders meeting, a shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting by providing the proxy form issued by this Corporation and stating the scope of the proxy's authorization.

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 this Corporation before five days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate

152

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 this Corporation, 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 this Corporation 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

(Principles determining the time and place of a shareholders meeting) The venue for a shareholders meeting shall be the premises of this Corporation, 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

(Preparation of documents such as the attendance book)

This Corporation shall specify in its shareholders meeting notices the time during which attendance registrations for shareholders 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 or proxies appointed by shareholders (collectively “shareholders”) shall attend shareholders meetings based on attendance cards, sign-in cards, or other certificates of attendance. This Corporation 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.

This Corporation 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. This Corporation 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, 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.

153

Article 7

(The chair and non-voting participants of a shareholders meeting) 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 directors shall be appointed to act as chair. Where the chairperson does not make such a designation, the directors shall select from among themselves one person to serve as chair.

When a director serves as chair, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the 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 independent director 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.

This Corporation 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

(Documentation of a shareholders meeting by audio or video)

This Corporation, beginning from the time it accepts shareholder attendance registrations, shall make an uninterrupted audio and video recording of the 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

154

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 and disclose relevant information as information concerning the number of nonvoting shares and number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned.

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.

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

155

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

(Shareholder speech)

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.

Article 12

(Calculation of voting shares and recusal system)

Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares. With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.

When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of this Corporation, 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

156

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 this Corporation 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 this Corporation 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 this Corporation 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 voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to this Corporation, 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 this Corporation'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 first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.

157

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 this Corporation.

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

(Election of directors)

The election of directors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the applicable election and appointment rules adopted by this Corporation, and the voting results shall be announced on-site immediately, including the names of those elected as directors and the numbers of votes with which they were elected, and the names of directors not elected and number of votes they received. The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.

Article 15

Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes. The meeting minutes shall be signed or sealed by the chair of the meeting 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.

This Corporation may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the MOPS.

The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the chair's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their voting results (including the number of voting rights), and disclose the number of voting rights won by each candidate in the event of an election of directors. The minutes shall be retained for the duration of the existence of this Corporation.

Article 16

(Public disclosure)

158

On the day of a shareholders meeting, this Corporation 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 regulations, this Corporation shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.

Article 17

(Maintaining order at the meeting place) 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 this Corporation, the chair may prevent the shareholder from so doing.

When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chair's correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.

Article 18

(Recess and resumption of a shareholders meeting)

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 the board of directors and a shareholders meeting. Subsequent amendments thereto shall be effected in the same manner.

159

These procedures were formulated on April 09, 2002; the first amendment was made on June 07, 2002; the second amendment was made on June 10, 2011; the third amendment was made on June 19, 2020; the fourth amendment was made on July 15, 2021.
