The cash capital increase price of OPTO TECH CORPORATION should not be lower than the net asset value per share of the financial statements audited or reviewed by the accountant in the latest period before the Board of Directors of OPTO TECH CORPORATION approves the cash capital increase. However, if the stock has been traded on the stock exchange, in addition to the aforementioned net asset value, the price should also be determined based on the prevailing market price at the time. Taking into account its operational development, recruitment and retention of professional talents to improve the operating performance, in addition to reserving 10% to 15% of the cash capital increase shares for employee subscription and making full public offerings and underwriting pursuant to Article 28-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act and relevant laws and regulations, the Company may abandon the subscription of shares in the cash capital increase of OPTO TECH CORPORATION, and the qualified shareholders of the Company shall have priority to subscribe. If the Company's shareholders abandon the subscription or the subscription is insufficient, OPTO TECH CORPORATION will be encouraged to offer a subscription proposal within the waived subscription shares to its employees, the employees of the Company and related enterprises, and strategic or financial investors that may contribute to the development of OPTO TECH CORPORATION 's operations. Among them, the qualified shareholders of the Company refer to the shareholders recorded in the shareholder registry on the latest record date for the subscription of the new shares in the cash capital increase of OPTO TECH CORPORATION and who hold one or more shares of the Company calculated on a proportional basis according to their shareholding recorded in the registry (the Company's shareholders may consolidate their holdings in accordance with relevant regulations). However, the number of shares issued, price, negotiations with specific individuals, and the timetable of the cash capital increase shall be subject to the resolution of the Board of Directors of OPTO TECH CORPORATION.

  • (b) Disposal of OPTO TECH CORPORATION shares

The Company disposal price of OPTO TECH CORPORATION should not be lower than the net asset value per share of the financial statements audited or reviewed by the accountant in the latest period before the Board of Directors of OPTO TECH CORPORATION approves the disposal. However, if the stock has been traded on the stock exchange, in addition to the aforementioned net asset value, the price should also be determined based on the prevailing market price at the time. The Company will prioritize the existing shareholders listed on the latest record date to subscribe for the

3

disposed shares of OPTO TECH CORPORATION in proportion to their current shareholding, in order to avoid increasing administrative costs. However, only shareholders holding one or more shares on the latest record date will be eligible to subscribe for the disposed shares of OPTO TECH CORPORATION. The actual transaction price, the negotiation of the counterparties to the transaction and the operation schedule are proposed to the shareholders' meeting to authorize the board of directors of the Corporation to determine the transaction in accordance with the prevailing market conditions and the operating conditions of OPTO TECH CORPORATION, and to handle the transaction in accordance with the Corporation's prevailing procedures for the acquisition or disposal of assets. In addition, in consideration of the development of OPTO TECH CORPORATION 's operation and the purpose of attracting and retaining professional talents to enhance the operation performance, if the shareholders of the Corporation give up the subscription or undersubscribe, the Chairman of the Corporation will be authorized to negotiate with specific persons to subscribe, and the counterparties of the transaction will be the employees of OPTO TECH CORPORATION, the employees of the Corporation and its affiliates, and the strategic investors or financial investors who are beneficial to the development of the operation of OPTO TECH CORPORATION.

  • 2) For the stock release required for the registration and listing process of OPTO TECH CORPORATION, the Company shall allocate shares for the underwriter and for the oversubscription process according to relevant laws and regulations and related listing requirements. The number of shares to be allocated and the price shall be jointly agreed upon by the underwriter based on relevant laws and regulations, market conditions at the time, and OPTO TECH CORPORATION 's operating status.

  • (3) Major production & sales policies:

  • 1) The technology platform spans from the first-generation semiconductors to the thirdgeneration semiconductors seamlessly, and the optical components lead the electrical components to drive industrial application upgrades.

  • 2) Power device products will first be oriented to the electric vehicle application market, and then gradually expand to various applications, such as charging points and invertors, while integrating the equipment and production lines built by subsidiaries for the third-generation semiconductors to generate a synergistic effect.

  • 3) Vertical integration and module packaging are the main development trends of silicon carbide (SiC) in the future. Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM) is the main business model of silicon carbide (SiC). At present, strategic integration of upstream domestic and foreign substrate manufacturers and downstream product design end has been has actively carried out, which is a key competitiveness for future development.

3. Strategy for future Company development, and influences from external competitive environment, regulatory environment, and overall operating environment

  • (1) Strategy for future Company development:

  • In recent years, with the impact of market fluctuations in sensing components and light-emitting components, and driven by electric vehicles, international net-zero carbon emission policies, renewable energy policies, and popularization of electric vehicles, the Company has gradually adjusted its business strategy to cope with the transformation of the global new energy generation. Faced with this trend, the Company will actively arrange the layout of power components in the future. With the characteristics of high temperature resistance, high voltage resistance, decent switching speed and heat conduction and low energy consumption, the thirdgeneration semiconductor can significantly improve the efficiency of AC-DC, DC-DC power conversion, and be implemented to stay closer to the products for daily use around us. Among them, the general optical couplers used in the consumer and home appliance industries will be transferred to the development of high-speed optical couplers to attack the industrial control and automotive fields. In the future, the Company will enter the power component market from GaN on Si and MOSFET on SiC, so as to expand the momentum of revenue growth to respond to the economic recovery in 2023. According to TrendForce estimates, the global power battery production capacity will exceed TWh (Terawatt-hour, one trillion watt-hours) in 2023, and the output value will be close to 120 billion US dollars.

  • (2) Influences from external competitive environment:

  • In 2022, the world’s major economies continued to raise interest rates to curb inflation, coupled with the unresolved war between Russia and Ukraine, the resurgence of the US-China technology war, and China’s zero-COVID policy impacting supply chain demand, the downstream inventory of terminals remained high, forcing end-customers in the consumer and home appliance markets to be weak in purchasing goods, and order placing became more conservative. It is estimated that the market will gradually recover in the second half of 2023 at the earliest.

In the face of market turmoil and price competition from competitors, TASC will not only continue to deepen its partnership with wearables, maintain existing orders for sensing

7

components, and optimize production efficiency, but will also upgrade from near-infrared (NIR) to short-wave infrared (SWIR) through technological evolution, introduce applications such as non-invasive blood sugar, blood lipid and blood alcohol concentration monitoring, driving revenue growth through health management business opportunities.

  • (3) Influences from the regulatory environment:

Affected by geopolitical risks and the US-China technology war, the U.S. has not only continued to resort to sanctions, but also beckoned to semiconductor companies in various countries and lured them with tax incentives, which has caused companies from all over the world to rush to the U.S. to set up factories. As a result, China’s semiconductors have been seriously threatened, supply chain risks have elevated, and related supply chains have been shifted or broken. Taiwan’s semiconductor industry had also been affected by this, resulting in the outflow of talents, technology and resources; however, TASC has always regarded employees as family members, paid attention to employee welfare measures and working environment, has various talent retention measures, and recruits outstanding talents in the industry. In terms of supply chain, we continue to deepen the partnership with upstream and downstream partners, optimize the structure of the industrial chain, so as to cope with this turmoil.

  • (4) Influences from the overall operating environment:

Geopolitics, climate fluctuations, interest rate hikes, and destocking caused a rapid decline in the semiconductor business in 2022. In 2023, under various highly uncertain factors, the business in the first half of the year is expected to remain uncertain. However, with inventory adjustments, the semiconductor boom is expected to pick up in the second half of 2023. With the recovery of the economy, TASC Group has expanded the layout of power components, actively investing in GaN-on-Si and SiC, withstanding voltages from 200V to 6.5KV. The scope of application includes consumer electronics products, telecommunications products, industrial control, medical and automotive industry applications, and is developing towards a diversified product portfolio to provide product added value, which not only diversifies operational risks, but is also expected to drive the Group’s future revenue and profits.

In the face of short-term shocks in the semiconductor industry in 2022, it is expected that the global economy will gradually and slowly recover in 2023. In response to the gap in the market turmoil, TASC Group will continue to deepen its partnership with wearables, maintain existing orders for sensing components, introduce non-invasive blood sugar into short-wave infrared (SWIR) products, and actively invest in the third-generation semiconductor industry. Optical components lead electrical components to drive industrial application upgrades, and electrical components drive optical systems to achieve green energy popularization, highlighting the core competitiveness of TASC’s optical and electrical dual-engine products in coping with the rapidly changing market, upholding the core value of “study hard, think hard, and work hard to create the best product in the world” to continue to take on the future and gain more outstanding results.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Taiwan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation (Former Name: Opto Tech Corporation)

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Taiwan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation (Former Name: Opto Tech Corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, 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, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (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 Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of 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 Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion based on our audits and the reports of other auditors.

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 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, these matters were addressed in our audit of the consolidated financial statements and in forming our opinion thereon. Therefore, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matter of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 is described as follows:

The Occurrence of Operating Revenue

The Group is engaged in the manufacture and sales of semiconductor components as well as research and development, design, manufacture and sales of systems products. Sales revenue from customers

10

accounted for a significant proportion of the total operating revenue in 2022. The sales revenue of significant customers was deemed as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 4 and 23 to the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the related revenue recognition policies and information.

The audit procedures performed in response to the abovementioned key audit matter were as follows:

  1. We obtained a thorough understanding of the Group’s policies on recognizing sales revenue, evaluated the design of the internal controls related to the occurrence of sales revenue, and determined whether the controls had been implemented.

  2. We performed detailed verification tests on the selected samples of sales revenue, and checked transaction vouchers, subsequent collections as well as future sales returns to confirm the occurrence of sales revenue.

  3. We sent accounts receivable confirmation letter to significant counterparty, investigated the reason and tested reconciling items made by the Company if the result in confirmation reply did not correspond to records, or tested collections after the balance sheet date if no confirmation reply was received.

  4. We evaluated days sales outstanding of accounts receivable in the credit term.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investees of the Corporation as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, which were reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting, but such financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the Corporation’s financial statements for such investments, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The aforementioned equity-method investments that were not audited by the auditor amounted to NT$61,690 thousand as of December 31, 2022, which represented 0.58% of the Corporation’s total assets. The Corporation’s share of the comprehensive income (loss) of such associates amounted to NT$(6,996) thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022, which represented (8.42%) of the Corporation’s total comprehensive income.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Taiwan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation (Former Name: Opto Tech Corporation) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 were audited by other auditor, which provided an unmodified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

11

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 Standards on Auditing of 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 Standards on Auditing of 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.

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of 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 for the year ended

12

December 31, 2022 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 Chih-Yuan Chen and Tung-Feng Lee.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Taiwan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation (Former Name: Opto Tech Corporation)

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Taiwan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation (former name: Opto Tech Corporation) (the “Corporation”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2022 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion based on our audits and the reports of other auditors.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, these matters were addressed in our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon. Therefore, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matter of the Corporation’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 is described as follows:

The Occurrence of Operating Revenue

The Corporation is engaged in the manufacture and sales of semiconductor components as well as research and development, design, manufacture and sales of systems products. Sales revenue from customers accounted for a significant proportion of the total operating revenue in 2022. The sales revenue of significant customers was deemed as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 4 and 22 to the Corporation’s financial statements for the related revenue recognition policies and information.

The audit procedures performed in response to the abovementioned key audit matter were as follows:

  1. We obtained a thorough understanding of the Corporation’s policies on recognizing sales revenue, evaluated the design of the internal controls related to the occurrence of sales revenue, and determined whether the controls had been implemented.

21

  1. We performed detailed verification tests on the selected samples of sales revenue, and checked transaction vouchers, subsequent collections as well as future sales returns to confirm the occurrence of sales revenue.

  2. We sent accounts receivable confirmation letter to significant counterparty, investigated the reason and tested reconciling items made by the Corporation if the result in confirmation reply did not correspond to records, or tested collections after the balance sheet date if no confirmation reply was received.

  3. We evaluated days sales outstanding of accounts receivable in the credit term.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investees of the Corporation as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 which were reflected in the accompanying financial statements using the equity method of accounting, but such financial statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the Corporation’s financial statements for such investments, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The aforementioned equity-method investments that were not audited by the auditor amounted to NT$12,338 thousand as of December 31, 2022, which represented 0.13% of the Corporation’s total assets. The Corporation’s share of the comprehensive income (loss) of such associates amounted to NT$(1,399) thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022, which represented (1.68%) of the Corporation’s total comprehensive income.

The Corporation’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 were audited by other auditor, which provided an unmodified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative, but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 Standards on Auditing of 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of 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 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 Corporation’s internal control.

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

22

  1. 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 Corporation’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 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 Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  3. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Corporation to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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 Chih-Yuan Chen and Tung-Feng Lee.

Article 6-3

The rights and obligations and other important issuance conditions of the Company’s special shares are set out as follows:

  1. If there is a surplus in the Company’s annual final accounts, in addition to paying taxes in accordance with the law, the Company shall first make up for accumulated losses, set aside statutory surplus reserve, and make provision or reverse the special surplus reserve in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation, after which if there is a balance, the dividend distributable on the special shares for that current year may have priority in the distribution.

  2. Dividends on special shares are limited to the maximum annual rate of 8% and are calculated at the issue price per share. Dividends may be paid in cash once a year. After the annual general shareholder meeting recognizes the financial statements, the Board of Directors will set the base date to pay the dividends distributable of the previous year. The distribution of dividends in the year of issuance and in the year of recall shall be calculated based on the actual number of issuance days in that current year.

If the Company has no surplus or insufficient surplus to distribute dividends on special shares or other necessary considerations, the Company may resolve not to distribute dividends on special shares, which shall not constitute a breach of contract. If the issued special shares are of non-cumulative type and the Company resolves not to distribute dividends or to distribute insufficient dividends, the undistributed dividends shall not be accumulated for deferred payment in subsequent years with surplus.

  4. In addition to receiving the aforementioned dividends, special shareholders are not allowed to participate

33

With regard to the distribution of the remaining assets of the Company to shareholders, the special shareholders shall have priority over ordinary shareholders, and have the same priority in terms of being compensated as that of shareholders of various special shares issued by the Company, over which general creditors have priority, but subject to the limitation of not exceeding the amount calculated at the issue price of outstanding special shares at the time of the distribution.

  3. Special shareholders have the right to vote and suffrage, and may be elected as directors. Special shareholders have voting rights at special shareholder meetings or on matters concerning rights and obligations of special shareholders at the shareholder meeting.

  4. If special shares issued by the Company are convertible special shares, they shall not be converted within one (1) year of the date of issuance.

Shareholders of the convertible special shares may apply for partial or complete conversion of the special shares held by them in accordance with the issuance conditions at the ratio of one special share to one ordinary share (the conversion ratio is 1:1). After the convertible special shares are converted into ordinary shares, their rights and obligations are the same as those of ordinary shares. The distribution of dividends during the year of conversion of special shares shall be calculated based on the ratio of the actual number of issuance days in that current year to the number of days in the whole year. However, the special shares that are converted into ordinary shares prior to the ex-right (dividend) record date for the distribution of dividends in each year shall not participate in the distribution of dividends on special shares in that current year of distribution as well as the distribution of dividends in subsequent years, but may participate in the distribution of earnings of ordinary shares and capital reserve in that current year.

  5. Special shares have no expiry date. Special shareholders do not have the right to request the Company to recall the special shares held by them, but the Company may, from the next day upon expiration of five (5) years of issuance, at any time recall all or part of the special shares by cash, by means of mandatory conversion into new shares issued or other methods permitted by laws and regulations at the original actual issuance price and in accordance with relevant issuance regulations. Unrecalled special shares shall maintain the rights and obligations under the various issuance conditions in this article until the Company recalls such shares. In that current year when special shares are recalled, if the Company resolves to issue dividends, the dividends that should be paid as of the date of recall shall be calculated based on the actual number of issuance days in that current year.

The name, issuance date, specific issuance conditions and other related matters of special shares are authorized to the Board of Directors to determine based on the conditions of the capital market and the willingness of investors to subscribe at the time of the actual issuance in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation of the Company as well as relevant laws and regulations.

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.

42

Where a shareholders meeting is held online, this Corporation shall keep records of shareholder registration, sign-in, check-in, questions raised, votes cast and results of votes counted by this Corporation, and continuously audio and video record, without interruption, the proceedings of the virtual meeting from beginning to end.

The information and audio and video recording in the preceding paragraph shall be properly kept by this Corporation during the entirety of its existence, and copies of the audio and video recording shall be provided to and kept by the party appointed to handle matters of the virtual meeting.

In case of a virtual shareholders meeting, this Corporation is advised to audio and video record the back-end operation interface of the virtual meeting platform.

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, and the shares checked in on the virtual meeting platform, 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 and disclose 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. In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall also declare the meeting adjourned at the virtual meeting platform.

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. In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, shareholders intending to attend the meeting online shall re-register to this Corporation in accordance with Article 6.

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 (Discussion of proposals)

If a shareholders meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors. 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.

After the meeting is adjourned by resolution, the shareholders shall not elect another chairman to continue the meeting at the original address or find another place. 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

43

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 (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.

Where a virtual shareholders meeting is convened, shareholders attending the virtual meeting online may raise questions in writing at the virtual meeting platform from the chair declaring the meeting open until the chair declaring the meeting adjourned. No more than two questions for the same proposal may be raised. Each question shall contain no more than 200 words. The regulations in paragraphs 1 to 5 do not apply.

As long as questions so raised in accordance with the preceding paragraph are not in violation of the regulations or beyond the scope of a proposal, it is advisable the questions be disclosed to the public at the virtual meeting platform.

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 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

44

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 or online, 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 for the proposals listed in the agenda, amendments to the original proposals, alternative proposals, or other proposals proposed by shareholders as interim motions shall be seconded by two or more shareholders. The same applies to changes in the agenda and adjournment of the meeting.

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.

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.

When this Corporation convenes a virtual shareholders meeting, after the chair declares the meeting open, shareholders attending the meeting online shall cast votes on proposals and elections on the virtual meeting platform before the chair announces the voting session ends or will be deemed abstained from voting.

In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, votes shall be counted at once after the chair announces the voting session ends, and results of votes and elections shall be announced immediately.

When this Corporation convenes a hybrid shareholders meeting, if shareholders who have registered to attend the meeting online in accordance with Article 6 decide to attend the physical shareholders meeting in person, they shall revoke their registration two days before the shareholders meeting in the same manner as they registered. If their registration is not revoked within the time limit, they may only attend the shareholders meeting online.

When shareholders exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, unless they have withdrawn the declaration of intent and attended the shareholders meeting online, except for extraordinary motions, they will not exercise voting rights on the original proposals or make any amendments to the original proposals or exercise voting rights on amendments to the original proposal.

Article 14 (Election of directors and supervisors)

The election of directors or supervisors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the

45

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 supervisors and the numbers of votes with which they were elected, and the names of directors and supervisors 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 or supervisors. The minutes shall be retained for the duration of the existence of this Corporation.

Where a virtual shareholders meeting is convened, in addition to the particulars to be included in the meeting minutes as described in the preceding paragraph, the start time and end time of the shareholders meeting, how the meeting is convened, the chair's and secretary's name, and actions to be taken in the event of disruption to the virtual meeting platform or participation in the meeting online due to natural disasters, accidents or other force majeure events, and how issues are dealt with shall also be included in the minutes.

When convening a virtual-only shareholder meeting, other than compliance with the requirements in the preceding paragraph, this Corporation shall specify in the meeting minutes alternative measures available to shareholders with difficulties in attending a virtual-only shareholders meeting online.

Article 16 (Public announcement)

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, the number of shares represented by proxies and the number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting by correspondence or electronic means, and shall make an express disclosure of the same at the place of the shareholders meeting. In the event a virtual shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall upload the above meeting materials to the virtual meeting platform at least 30 minutes before the meeting starts, and keep this information disclosed until the end of the meeting.

During this Corporation's virtual shareholders meeting, when the meeting is called to order, the total number of shares represented at the meeting shall be disclosed on the virtual meeting platform. The same shall apply whenever the total number of shares represented at the meeting and a new tally of votes is released during the 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 Taipei Exchange Market) regulations, this Corporation shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.

Article 17 (Maintenance of order at the venue)

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

46

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 shareholder 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 (Disclosure of information at virtual meetings)

In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall disclose real-time results of votes and election immediately after the end of the voting session on the virtual meeting platform according to the regulations, and this disclosure shall continue at least 15 minutes after the chair has announced the meeting adjourned.

Article 20 (Location of the chair and secretary of virtual-only shareholders meeting)

When this Corporation convenes a virtual-only shareholders meeting, both the chair and secretary shall be in the same location, and the chair shall declare the address of their location when the meeting is called to order.

Article 21 (Handling of disconnection)

In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, this Corporation may offer a simple connection test to shareholders prior to the meeting, and provide relevant real-time services before and during the meeting to help resolve communication technical issues.

In the event of a virtual shareholders meeting, when declaring the meeting open, the chair shall also declare, unless under a circumstance where a meeting is not required to be postponed to or resumed at another time under Article 44-20, paragraph 4 of the Regulations Governing the Administration of Shareholder Services of Public Companies, if the virtual meeting platform or participation in the virtual meeting is obstructed due to natural disasters, accidents or other force majeure events before the chair has announced the meeting adjourned, and the obstruction continues for more than 30 minutes, the meeting shall be postponed to or resumed on another date within five days, in which case Article 182 of the Company Act shall not apply.

For a meeting to be postponed or resumed as described in the preceding paragraph, shareholders who have not registered to participate in the affected shareholders meeting online shall not attend the postponed or resumed session.

For a meeting to be postponed or resumed under the second paragraph, the number of shares represented by, and voting rights and election rights exercised by the shareholders who have registered to participate in the affected shareholders meeting and have successfully signed in the meeting, but do not attend the postpone or resumed session, at the affected shareholders meeting, shall be counted towards the total number of shares, number of voting rights and number of election rights represented at the postponed or resumed session.
