2.1.1.4 Board Diversity and Independence

(1) Board Diversity

In accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles, the composition of the Board of Directors shall take into account diversity across multiple dimensions, including but not limited to operational needs, industry experience, and development strategies.

The Board as a whole is expected to possess the following core competencies:

a. Operational judgment
b. Accounting and financial analysis
c. Business management
d. Crisis management
e. Industry knowledge
f. International market perspective
g. Leadership
h. Decision-making capability

To ensure effective governance, the Company has established specific diversity objectives, including:

(i) at least five Directors shall possess expertise in each of the above competencies; and
(ii) each individual Director shall possess at least three of the aforementioned competencies.

These objectives have been duly achieved.

The education experience of each director of the company is obviously helpful to the company's operation, which is in line with the company's policy of diversification of the composition of the board of directors. Each director has the professional background required for business execution, including accounting, industry, finance, marketing, research etc., the implementation of the policy of diversifying the composition of the board of directors is sufficient to enhance the function of the board of directors.

The members of the board of directors include electronic engineering, accounting and finance and other related professional backgrounds. The relevant experience includes semiconductor and investment professional fields (Directors James Pao, Samuel Chen, Chan Yee Hsiung and Independent Director Mao Tien Shen), product application market professional field (Directors Daniel Pan and Chris Ko), and have professional fields in accounting, finance and securities market (Director Ching Hui Kuo, Independent Directors Kao Chung Tsai and Tsai Lin Chiang).

Although the current composition of the Board has not yet achieved the target of one-third representation of either gender, the Company has complied with applicable regulatory requirements by appointing at least one Director of a different gender.

The primary reason for not attaining the aforementioned target is attributable to the characteristics of the semiconductor industry, where professionals with extensive practical experience in operational and managerial roles are predominantly male.

Going forward, the Company will continue to actively identify and nominate qualified female candidates to enhance Board diversity and further strengthen corporate governance.


(2) Independence of the Board of Directors

The Company's current 11th Board of Directors comprises three employee directors and three independent directors, with independent directors accounting for 33% of the Board.

All independent directors fully comply with the regulations governing independent directors as stipulated by the Financial Supervisory Commission. The status of their independence is as follows:

Name Their spouses, and their relatives within the second degree have not served as directors, supervisors or employees of the company or affiliates Their spouses, and their relatives within the second degree do not hold any shares in the company Whether you serve as a Directors, supervisors, or employees of specific affiliates Have received remuneration for providing business, legal, financial, accounting, etc. services to the company or affiliates within the past 2 years.

His contributions to the Company have been significant, and his performance has been highly professional and competent. Therefore, he continues to serve as an independent director of the Company, enabling him to further leverage his expertise, fulfill his duties as an independent director, and provide effective oversight and advice to the Board of Directors.

2.2.4.2 The policies, standards, and packages, the procedure for determining remuneration, and its linkage to operating performance and future risk exposure

(1) According to Article 24 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, directors' remuneration may be paid when they perform their duties for the Company, regardless of whether the Company reports a profit or loss. The amount of such remuneration is authorized to be determined by the Board of Directors with reference to their level of participation in the Company's operations, the value of their contributions, and prevailing industry standards. In addition, pursuant to Article 28 of the Articles of


Incorporation, if the Company records a profit (defined as pre-tax income before the allocation of employee compensation and directors' remuneration), an amount not exceeding 5% shall be set aside as directors' remuneration. The distribution to each director is determined based on their level of participation in the Company's operations and the value of their contributions, using reasonable ratios and weightings. The relevant performance evaluation and the reasonableness of remuneration have been reviewed and approved by both the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors.

(2) The remuneration for the Company's General Manager and Vice General Managers is evaluated in accordance with the "Remuneration Measures for Directors and Managers" and Article 28 of the Articles of Incorporation. Reasonable remuneration is determined by considering factors such as time invested, responsibilities, individual performance, the Company's annual profitability, and overall operating performance. Furthermore, based on actual operating conditions and relevant laws and regulations, the Remuneration Committee regularly reviews the policies, systems, standards, and structures regarding performance evaluation and remuneration.

(3) The company's financial operations are stable and conservative, so the company's does not guide directors and managers to engage in behaviors that exceed the company's risk appetite in pursuit of salary remuneration.

The Board is responsible for reviewing climate-related risks and opportunities, approving the Company's strategic response, and ensuring that business operations remain aligned with international decarbonization trends, supply-chain requirements, and applicable regulations.
To address potential financial impacts, supply-chain disruptions, or operational risks arising from climate change, the Board regularly monitors developments through periodic management reports and reviews the results of climate risk assessments. This governance approach enhances the Company's agility and resilience in responding to external changes and evolving climate-related challenges.

Sustainability Development Task Force
Climate-related management activities are coordinated by the Company's Sustainability Working Group, which is responsible for advancing initiatives such as greenhouse gas inventory, climate risk identification, environmental regulatory compliance, emissions-reduction strategy planning, and performance tracking.
Since 2024, the management team has reported to the Board of Directors on short-term risks, mid-term adjustment needs, and long-term transition roadmaps. This reporting mechanism enables the Board to comprehensively understand the Company's progress in addressing climate-related issues, as well as areas requiring further improvement. |
| 2. Describe how the identified climate risks and opportunities affect the business, strategy, and finances of the business (short, medium, and long term). | In response to escalating global climate risks, in 2025 Sonix continued to apply the TCFD framework to further enhance the identification and assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities, with a focus on their impacts on operational resilience and financial performance. Given the semiconductor industry's exposure to supply chain volatility, extreme heat, regional water shortages, and energy policy adjustments, the Company re-evaluated risks including carbon fees or taxes, climate event-related disruptions to foundry and assembly and testing capacity, logistics delays, and instability of power supply. At the same time, the Company reviewed transition opportunities arising from renewable energy adoption, energy-efficient design, development of low-power chips, and trends in green materials. In 2025, the Company consolidated 16 key risk factors and quantitatively assessed their likelihood and impact, analyzing them across short-term (2025-2027), medium-term (2028-2032), and long-term (2033-2050) horizons to support strategic adjustments and resource allocation. For material risks, the Company plans to strengthen supply chain resilience, promote energy-saving and low-power R&D, and establish backup logistics arrangements, while simultaneously identifying opportunities related to low-carbon products and green supply chain collaboration as part of its medium- to long-term strategic positioning. |
| 3. Describe the financial impact of extreme weather events and transformative actions. | As the global transition toward net zero accelerates, supply chain requirements increase, and energy efficiency standards in the Technology sector continue to evolve, Sonix has incorporated climate factors into its operational decision-making processes. The Company systematically identifies climate-related risks and evaluates market and technological opportunities arising from the low-carbon transition, which serve as important inputs for strategic adjustments and product planning.
In its assessment of risks and opportunities, the Company references the disclosure topics set out in IFRS S2 Industry-based Implementation Guidance Volume 54 (Electronic Manufacturing Services and Original Design Manufacturing) and integrates scenario analysis tools that reflect the characteristics of the IC design industry, thereby enhancing the completeness |

4. Describe how climate risk identification, assessment, and management processes are integrated into the overall risk management system. In alignment with the TCFD framework, Sonix has progressively refined its climate risk identification and assessment processes and incorporated the results into strategic adjustments and operational resilience management. The Finance Department coordinates climate-related issue management by integrating international trends, supply chain dynamics, and the Company’s core business characteristics, and regularly identifies physical and transition risks as a basis for governance oversight, management actions, and information disclosure.
Assessments are primarily qualitative, with comprehensive consideration of impact scope, severity, and time horizons, supporting management in operational adjustments, investment evaluations, and resource allocation.
1.Risk Identification: Physical and transition risks are incorporated into the annual risk identification process and compiled into a climate risk register.
2.Risk Assessment: Risks are scored using the existing risk matrix and integrated with the enterprise risk management (ERM) and internal control systems.
3.Risk Management: Climate-related risks are incorporated into the annual internal control review and sustainability management tracking, with regular reporting to management and the Board of Directors.
4.Improvement and Monitoring: Response measures are reviewed and updated on a rolling basis in accordance with regulatory requirements, climate trends, and changes in operations.
5. If scenario analysis is used to assess resilience to climate change risks, the Sonix conducts scenario analysis following TCFD recommendations and IPCC AR6, using SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 as primary assumptions. These

scenarios, parameters, assumptions, analysis factors and major financial impacts used should be described. scenarios evaluate resilience under approximately 2°C transition pathways and higher warming scenarios, considering policy, energy costs, supply chain stability, logistics, carbon pricing, and market expectations. Financial impacts primarily relate to increased carbon management costs, verification expenses, supply chain cost increases, logistics volatility, and potential margin pressure.
The risk scenario analysis of the company's transformation is as follows:
SSP situation Transformation risk scenario assumptions Estimated possible financial impact
SSP 2-4.5 Global climate policies are being moderately advanced, with stable economic growth and low-carbon transformation going hand in hand, and the temperature rising by about 2.7°C. As the global transition toward low-carbon economies accelerates, countries are increasingly implementing carbon disclosure and carbon pricing mechanisms, creating a certain degree of transition pressure for the Company. As transparency of supply chain emissions data becomes a prerequisite for collaboration, the Company is required to collect more comprehensive emissions and energy consumption data from wafer foundry and assembly and testing partners, while also increasing expenditure on third-party verification and audits. These factors are expected to drive a gradual rise in carbon management costs.
Moreover, if low-carbon technologies are not adopted efficiently across the supply chain, higher carbon fees and increased energy costs associated with manufacturing processes may elevate production costs, thereby exerting pressure on gross margins. At the same time, growing market demand for low-power and energy-efficient chips means that insufficient disclosure of energy efficiency metrics and sustainability information could negatively affect international customers' purchasing decisions and the Company's overall competitiveness.
Overall, under this scenario, the principal financial impacts are expected to include a moderate increase in administrative expenses, verification and audit costs, and supply chain-related costs, collectively placing pressure on gross margins.
SSP5-8.5 Weakened global cooperation, In the short term, Song-Han may not be subject to highly intensive

continued growth in fossil fuel use and a lack of clear action to reduce emissions would result in a warming of about 3.6°C.
carbon policy pressure immediately. However, in the absence of a clear transition pathway, market requirements for low-carbon supply chains may stagnate or become fragmented. At the same time, investors and international customers are likely to remain increasingly sensitive to high-carbon risks, potentially leading to pressure on brand reputation, adjustments in customer mix, and tighter financing and partnership conditions, creating medium- to long-term risks. If the company does not establish low-carbon operational capabilities and disclosure mechanisms at an early stage, a subsequent acceleration in policy or market transition could result in higher transition costs and tighter timelines, and even long-term financial impacts arising from insufficient adaptation and potential marginalization in the market.
If sustainability requirements were to tighten abruptly while prior investments remain insufficient, the company may need to conduct emissions inventories retroactively, introduce management systems, build information systems, or update product energy-efficiency data within a short period, driving up both one-off and recurring costs. In addition, incomplete sustainability information or insufficient energy-efficiency competitiveness could adversely affect medium- to long-term orders and collaboration opportunities. Assuming Taiwan's carbon fee is implemented at NTD 1,200–1,800 per ton, the estimated direct cost impact would be approximately NTD 75.62 to 113.43 million. Furthermore, if export markets impose carbon border charges (e.g., USD 20 per ton), the costs of certain high-emission manufacturing processes could increase, squeezing margins for specific product lines. Moreover, failure to respond promptly to customer requirements for supply-chain carbon information and sustainability

management may reduce collaboration flexibility and necessitate more frequent adjustments to operational strategies.
The following is the analysis of the entity risk scenario of the Company:
SSP situation Transformation risk scenario assumptions Estimated possible financial impact
SSP 2-4.5 Global climate policies are being moderately advanced, with stable economic growth and low-carbon transformation going hand in hand, and the temperature rising by about 2.7°C. Although extreme weather events have not yet deteriorated on a widespread scale, they may still cause seasonal supply-chain disruptions in specific regions. As Song-Han relies on wafer foundries, packaging and testing services, and cross-border transportation, flooding, droughts, or heatwaves affecting key supply regions could disrupt production capacity as well as port and logistics operations. This may result in delivery delays, freight rate volatility, and increased ad-hoc transportation or storage costs.
From a financial perspective, such impacts could be reflected in higher logistics and warehousing expenses, longer inventory turnover cycles, and increased risks of component damage or loss.
To mitigate these fluctuations, the Company plans to enhance short-term delivery stability through supplier diversification, contingency supplier planning, and flexible inventory management strategies.
SSP5-8.5 Weakened global cooperation, continued growth in fossil fuel use and a lack of clear action to reduce emissions would result in Under this scenario, climate risks are expected to occur more frequently and become more difficult to predict, placing more direct pressure on supply-chain resilience and financial performance. Extreme rainfall, typhoons, or strong storms may disrupt ports and transportation hubs, leading to container

a warming of about 3.6°C. backlogs and delivery delays, and forcing the Company to rely on expedited or urgent logistics solutions, thereby increasing ad-hoc transportation costs. Droughts and extreme heat may also affect power supply and manufacturing capacity in key sourcing regions, resulting in reduced utilization or disruptions at wafer foundries and packaging and testing facilities, greater delivery uncertainty, and heightened volatility in raw material prices. At the same time, elevated temperatures increase the need for temperature control in warehousing and transportation, driving higher electricity consumption and maintenance expenses, while also raising the risk of packaging deformation and product quality issues. From a financial perspective, these impacts may be reflected in higher transportation and warehousing costs, increased inventory and safety-stock holding costs, penalty or compensation expenses arising from delivery delays, and elevated scrap and insurance claim costs. If extreme weather events become more frequent or normalized, higher insurance premiums or deductibles could further increase non-transferable losses, amplifying gross margin volatility and increasing the difficulty of financial forecasting and inventory planning.
6. If there is a transition plan for managing climate-related risks, describe the content of the plan, and the indicators and targets used to identify and manage physical risks and transition risks. Sonix aligns its actions with the national net-zero policy direction and emission-reduction expectations for the Technology sector, and continues to strengthen its greenhouse gas management and reduction efforts. The Company regards climate action as a critical foundation for enhancing operational resilience and long-term sustainable competitiveness. A medium- to long-term decarbonization pathway has been established, with targets to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 5% compared to the base

42


Item Implementation status
year by 2030, and to achieve a 25% reduction by 2050. To advance the implementation of these targets, Song-Han will continue to enhance energy management initiatives, including the replacement of energy-intensive equipment, improvements in office energy efficiency, deployment of energy-saving lighting and smart air-conditioning controls, and the phased introduction of energy monitoring tools to improve the accuracy of electricity management and data transparency. Looking ahead, the Company will also assess the feasibility of green power procurement, self-developed renewable energy installations, or participation in related projects, based on operational needs and market supply conditions. Through a diversified range of measures, Song-Han aims to steadily advance its low-carbon transition. Relevant details are summarized in Appendix II.
7. If internal carbon pricing is used as a planning tool, the basis for setting the price should be stated. The Company has initiated plans to introduce an internal carbon pricing mechanism as a management tool for evaluating capital expenditures and driving emissions-reduction initiatives. In 2024, the preliminary system framework and carbon price assessment were completed, incorporating references to the development of the domestic carbon market, regulatory policy directions, and relevant international reports. Based on this assessment, the Company has proposed a preliminary internal carbon price of NTD 300 per metric ton of CO2e. The internal carbon price will be reviewed and adjusted on a rolling basis in response to operational needs and changes in the external environment.
8. If climate-related targets have been set, the activities covered, the scope of greenhouse gas emissions, the planning horizon, and the progress achieved each year should be specified. If carbon credits or renewable energy certificates (RECs) are used to achieve relevant targets, the source and quantity of carbon credits or RECs to be offset should be specified. Entering 2025, Sonix continues to align with the national net-zero policy framework and the Company's established decarbonization pathway, actively promoting the use of green electricity and improvements in energy efficiency. Building on the greenhouse gas inventory foundation established in 2024, the Company formally began procuring renewable energy certificates (T-RECs) in 2025, with the objective of gradually increasing the proportion of green electricity used in its operations and thereby reducing Scope 2 indirect greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the Company has introduced high-efficiency equipment and smart energy management mechanisms, leveraging energy monitoring and data analysis to optimize energy allocation and support subsequent emissions reduction and efficiency enhancement initiatives. From an emissions reduction strategy perspective, the Company conducts rolling reviews of its targets in line with its established roadmap and extends low-carbon requirements to supply-chain collaboration. Energy use, emissions disclosure, and sustainability performance are progressively incorporated into partner evaluation and engagement mechanisms to facilitate joint transition across the value chain. On the operational side, the Company continues to implement energy-saving measures, including optimized air-conditioning settings, lighting upgrades, procurement of energy-efficient labeled equipment, and enhanced waste sorting practices. Through daily operational management, these measures contribute to reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions, demonstrating the Company's commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable development.
9. Greenhouse gas inventory and assurance status and reduction targets, strategy, and concrete action plan(To be completed in Sections 1-1 and 1-2) As capital is below NT$5 billion, Sonix is required to complete corporate GHG inventory by 2025. The Company completed its first inventory in 2024 covering Scope 1, Scope 2, and partial Scope 3 emissions, with total emissions of 811.757 tCO2e.
