【Business Report】
1.2025 Business Results:
A. Implementation results from 2025 Business Plan:
In 2025, the confluence of domestic and international political and economic factors, including heightened geopolitical risks, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, and uncertainties surrounding global trade negotiations with the United States, led to exchange rate fluctuations and significant increases in the costs of precious metals and raw materials.

3) Enhancement of production capacity and process efficiency: Introduce automation and data-driven management to strengthen yield monitoring and rapid response mechanisms for anomalies.
- Strategy for future Company development, and influences from external competitive environment, regulatory environment, and overall operating environment
(1) Strategy for future Company development:
According to the latest report published by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), approximately 589 million adults worldwide were living with diabetes in 2024, and this number is projected to grow by 46% between 2024 and 2050, reaching 853 million people worldwide by 2025, meaning that one in eight adults will have diabetes. According to a research report by MarketsandMarkets, the global blood glucose monitoring device market is expected to reach USD 61.2 billion by 2030, with a remarkable compound annual growth rate of 12.3% from 2025 to 2030.
TASC is optimistic about the huge market demand for weight loss and health management, as well as the issues and business opportunities in pediatric glucose control. Moving forward, the Company will continue to integrate HUSD technology with wearable devices or medical equipment through strategic partnerships, enabling users to monitor blood glucose changes without invasive procedures, providing real-time feedback on how diet, exercise, and daily activities affect glucose levels. In addition, the Company aims to address parental concerns regarding children’s dietary management through a “smart blood glucose control” approach, helping to create a healthier growth environment for children. In the future, the Company plans to further expand into advanced medical applications and progressively seize opportunities in the medical-grade blood glucose monitoring market.
(2) Influences from external competitive environment:
Currently, Blood Glucose Monitoring (BGM) primarily relies on traditional finger-prick blood sampling methods, while Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) utilizes minimally invasive sensor patches to provide continuous blood glucose data. Compared to the newly developed Non-Invasive Continuous Glucose Monitoring (NICGM), both BGM and CGM markets are relatively mature and remain the mainstream solutions for blood glucose management.
NICGM, however, leverages TASC’s proprietary HUSD sensing technology to detect glucose concentration in interstitial fluid beneath the skin, enabling a more comfortable and safer method for continuous glucose monitoring. Furthermore, it is equipped with AI algorithms to filter noise and analyze blood glucose trends. Currently, its MARD is below 15%, and its average MARD for single-point fasting glucose measurements is below 10%. This allows users to monitor blood glucose fluctuations in real time without the need for finger-pricking. In the future, the system will further integrate comprehensive physiological indicators to enable holistic health and medical management.
(3) Influences from the regulatory environment:
Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has strict regulations for blood glucose monitoring instruments and equipment. For medical-grade glucose monitoring devices, the required MARD must be below 10%, while devices intended for health management must achieve a MARD below 15%. The current non-invasive continuous glucose sensing chip from TASC has achieved an accuracy level of up to 85%, which can support daily health management needs and can be applied to smart rings, wristbands and other wearable devices to meet the needs of various user groups for all-day wear. In the initial stage, the Company will focus on the “health promotion” and “disease prevention” markets. As technological advancements and regulatory approvals are achieved, the product is expected to transition from health care applications to medical applications, aiming to expand from consumer electronics into professional medical applications, achieving a seamless integration of semiconductor technology and healthcare needs, and ultimately creating a world-leading product.
(4) Influences from the overall operating environment:
In early January 2026, Taiwan and the United States reached a new trade agreement, reducing tariffs on Taiwanese exports to the U.S. to 15%. However, exemptions were granted to chips used to strengthen U.S. technology supply chains or domestic semiconductor derivative manufacturing capabilities. The agreement also required Taiwan to increase its investment in the United States in semiconductors and other industries. In other words, if the chips purchased by customers are ultimately used to build U.S. data centers or strengthen U.S. domestic manufacturing capabilities, the 25% tariff can be avoided even if they are produced in Taiwan. At the same time, the United States raised the previously agreed tariff rate on South Korea from 15% to 25%. In light of these updated tariff policies, Taiwan’s semiconductor industry gains greater flexibility in handling tariff issues and enjoys a more significant competitive advantage globally.
TASC continues to upgrade its product portfolio, deepen process capabilities, maintain controllable production capacity risks, and strengthen talent governance. These efforts ensure sustained growth in operational momentum and shareholder value across its three key focus areas: sensing, GaN, and SiC.

【Explanation of 2025 Directors' Remuneration reasonableness】
- In order to maintain the independence of independent directors in performing their duties, and to urge them to undertake a high standard of duty of care and responsibility, effectively supervise management, and balance operational decision-making, the Company’s independent directors have, starting from May 2024, not participated in the distribution of directors’ remuneration. Instead, they receive fixed monthly compensation (including remuneration and expenses for the execution of duties), so as to strengthen independence and avoid conflicts of interest.
- Due to the above reasons, the average remuneration paid to each director by the Company in 2025 increased by NTD 211 thousand compared to 2024 (an increase rate of 41%).
- Details of directors’ remuneration of the Company for 2025 are as follows:

【Report on the Implementation of the Improvement Plan for Excess Endorsement and Guarantee Balance】
-
According to the Financial Supervisory Commission Letter Jin-Guan-Zheng-Shen-Zi No. 1140385036 dated October 23, 2025, due to the decline in the Company's net worth, as of the end of July 2025, the amount of endorsements and guarantees provided by the Company to "ProAsia Semiconductor Corporation" has exceeded the prescribed limit.
-
In recent years, TASC has continuously invested in the research and development of its subsidiaries' products and has recognized investment losses from subsidiaries, resulting in a decrease in shareholders' equity of the Company. The Company has urged its subsidiaries to formulate operational improvement plans and will subsequently implement control measures in accordance with such plans to enhance company's overall profitability and increase net worth, so as to comply with the limits set forth in the procedures for endorsement and guarantee.
-
As of December 31, 2025, the summary of the Company's outstanding endorsements and guarantees provided to others is as follows:

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Taiwan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").
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, 2025 and 2024, 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 audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated 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 Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 is described as follows:
The Occurrence of Operating Revenue
The Group is engaged in the manufacture and sale of semiconductor components as well as research and development, design, manufacture and sale of systems products. Sales revenue from customers the amount has shown significant growth compared to the previous year in 2025. The sales revenue
of significant customers was deemed 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:
- 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.
- We performed detailed substantive tests on selected samples of sales revenue, including inspecting supporting vouchers and performing confirmation procedures.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investees of the Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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$69,799 thousand and NT$76,646 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, which represented 0.47% and 0.51%, respectively, of the Corporation’s total assets. The Corporation’s share of the comprehensive income (loss) of such associates amounted to NT$8,971 thousand and NT$2,701 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, which represented (0.68%) and (0.38%), respectively, of the Corporation’s total comprehensive income.
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Taiwan-Asia Semiconductor Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.
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.
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
11
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
12
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 December 31, 2025 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Chih-Yuan Chen and Tung-Feng Lee.

Refer to Notes 4 and 21 to the Corporation’s financial statements for the related revenue recognition policies and information.
21
The audit procedures performed in response to the abovementioned key audit matter were as follows:
- 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.
- We performed detailed substantive tests on selected samples of sales revenue, including inspecting supporting vouchers and performing confirmation procedures.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investees accounted for using the equity method for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. These 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$13,932 thousand and NT$13,664 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, which represented 0.13% and 0.11% of the Corporation’s total assets. The Corporation’s share of the comprehensive income (loss) of such associates amounted to NT$1,797 thousand and NT$975 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, which represented (0.15%) and (0.14%) of the Corporation’s total comprehensive income.
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:
- 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
22
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.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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, 2025 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Chih-Yuan Chen and Tung-Feng Lee.

According to Article 56-1 of the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers and Article 10-1 of the Regulations Governing Share Repurchase by Exchange-Listed and OTC-Listed Companies, the Company shall obtain the consent adopted by a Shareholder Meeting with the attendance of the shareholders representing more than half of the total number of the issued shares, and two-thirds or more of the voting rights of the shareholders in attendance in order to issue employee stock option certificates at a price lower than the closing price of the Company's ordinary shares on the date of issuance, as well as to transfer the shares to employees at a price lower than the average price of the shares actually repurchased.
Article 6-2
With regard to shares repurchased by the Company in accordance with the law, the recipient of the transfer may include employees of the controlled or affiliated companies who meet certain conditions. With regard to employee stock option certificates issued by the Company in accordance with the law, the recipient of the issuance may include employees of the controlled or affiliated companies who meet certain conditions.

With regard to new shares with restricted rights of employees of the Company issued in accordance with provisions of the Company Act, the subject of the issuance may include employees of the controlled or affiliated companies who meet certain conditions.
Article 6-3
The rights and obligations and other important issuance conditions of the Company's special shares are set out as follows:
-
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.
-
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.
-
The Company shall have discretionary powers on the distribution of dividends on special shares. 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.
-
In addition to receiving the aforementioned dividends, special shareholders are not allowed to participate in the distribution of ordinary shares with regard to surplus and capital reserve as cash and capitalization if the special shares issued are of non-participating type.
40
-
When the Company issues new shares in cash, special shareholders and ordinary shares have the same preemptive right.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. The Board of Directors is authorized to set the period of conversion in the actual issuance conditions. 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.
-
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.

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.

50
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 on 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 to 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
51
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 applicable election and appointment rules adopted by this Corporation, and the voting results shall be
52
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.
