  1. The main content of the proposal for Surplus Distribution and Cash Dividend Report of 2023 is as follow: In accordance with the provisions of Article 29-1 of the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is authorized to resolve that all or part of the dividends and bonuses distributable are to be made by way of cash, which resolution shall also be reported to the Shareholder meeting.

The surplus for the year 2023 is appropriated to be the shareholder bonus in the amount of NT$219,311,423, which is to be distributed by way of cash dividends of NT$0.5 per share. The actual dividend payout ratio is calculated based on the number of shares entitled to participate in the distribution on the ex-dividend date, and rounded up or down to the whole number, of which the total of its fractional amount less than NT$1 shall be adjusted in order starting from the largest decimal number to the smallest decimal number as well as from the smallest shareholder account number to the largest one until it reaches the total amount of the cash dividend to be distributed.

  1. The main content of the propose to split the company's "8-inch GaN Product Business Group" and transfer it to the existing subsidiary "Gan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation" is as follow: According to Article 35 of the Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions Act, the Company proposes the split of the 8-inch GaN Product Business Group related business (including assets, liabilities and business) into the existing subsidiary, wholly owned existing subsidiary, “Gan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation” (hereinafter referred to as the Gan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation), in order to implement professional division of labor and improve the Company’s overall business performance and market competitiveness based on efficiency planning.

The book value of the proposed split net assets is NT$1,000,000,000. The business value is based on the accountant’s review of the Company’s 2023 Financial Reports for the Second Quarter and depreciation, capital expenditure plans, value changes of related items up to the split date and other factors have been included in the estimation. However, the actual amount will be based on the book value on the record date of the split.

The business value of the proposed target of split is NT$1,000,000,000. The Gan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation is expected to issue 100,000,000 common shares as payment for the split target to the Company with common shares with nominal values of NT$10 for each share converted to NT$10 for each share for the split target value. However, the actual number of shares and amount issued will be based on the aforementioned share conversion value with the book value of the split target on the base date of the split, and it will be proposed to the shareholders' meeting to authorize the Chairman to make adjustment according to the split plan.

In accordance with the Enterprise Mergers and Acquisitions Act, the Company Act and other relevant laws and regulations, a "Split Plan" has been prepared as shown in the attachment. In addition, CPA Hong-Yi Wu of the Integritas CPA & Associates has been consulted to issue a rationality opinion for the business value of the split transfer in this case. For details please refer to the attachment; The "Split Plan" is planned to be formally signed by the authorized representatives of both parties on April 11, 2024 after it is approved by the board of directors. The company authorizes independent director Tsai Shih-Kuang to sign as the authorized representative.

The split record date is temporarily set as August 30, 2024. However, if the split record date is required to be adjusted due to the operational schedule, the new date shall be decided by the Company’s Board of Directors or board appointed person and the decision-making unit of the Gan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation.

For the business scope, monetary amount (including assets, liabilities and business), share conversion ratio, operational schedule and other related matters or unspecified matters of the aforementioned business proposed by the company to be split, a shareholders' meeting resolution to authorize the Chairman to handle all matters and make adjustments is to be requested within the scope of laws and regulations.

When the proposal is passed, ratifying resolutions and other necessary resolutions for the split plan are requested from the shareholders' meeting according to relevant laws and regulations.

Considering the synergy of the group's operations, the company will continue to engage in the "6-inch GaN product business".

Therefore, they are not included in the scope of this split plan. After the split base date, the two parties may separately agree on the authorization method, and the company will authorize the aforementioned technologies to Gan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation, so that Gan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation can still exercise/use the relevant rights after taking over the business of the "8-inch GaN Product Business Group".
