Business Report

I. Preface:

In review of the year 2025, the international landscape was characterized by the coexistence of geopolitical risks and AI-driven economic growth. The global economy, driven by demand for artificial intelligence (AI) applications, maintained moderate growth despite challenges from a high base period. However, escalating geopolitical conflicts, renewed trade disputes, and policy uncertainties within the U.S. government have introduced significant uncertainty to global trade. Amid the continued high levels of international raw material prices, the Company has persistently contributed to stabilizing Taiwan. Through the efforts of the management team and all employees, the Company achieved a consolidated net profit of NT$932,239 thousand for the current period.

II. Operations Overview:

(I) Production and Sales:

In 2025, the Company produced 512,764 metric tons of fertilizer products, a decrease of 19.35% compared to 2024, and 174,063 metric tons of chemical products, a decrease of 7.15% compared to 2024. In 2025, the Company sold 600,139 metric tons of fertilizer products, a decrease of 2.35% compared to 2024, and 123,355 metric tons of chemical products, a decrease of 2.18% compared to 2024.

(II) Revenue and Profitability:

For the fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded operating revenue of NT$11,703,756 thousand, an increase of 1.62% compared to NT$11,517,221 thousand in 2024. Operating net profit was NT$203,312 thousand, a decrease of 48.7% from 2024. Non-operating net income was NT$919,096 thousand, a decrease of 23.5% compared to 2024. Net income for the period was NT$932,239 thousand, a decrease of 52.57% compared to 2024.

Operating net income was NT$362,088 thousand, a decrease of 34.13% compared to 2024. Non-operating net income amounted to NT$798,459 thousand, a decrease of 26.62% compared to 2024.

(IV) Regarding Investment Plans:

Under the management mission of "Supporting Agriculture, Caring for the Earth, and Rooting Deeply in Taiwan," the Company continues to promote new types of fertilizers and smart agriculture technologies, such as granular blended controlled-release fertilizers, liquid controlled-release fertilizers, and environmentally friendly compound coated fertilizers. These efforts aim to achieve the goal of reducing chemical fertilizer usage by half, while also developing chemical fertilizer products that incorporate domestic agricultural resources, demonstrating the Company's commitment to sustainable environmental protection.

Facing global energy transition and industry competition pressures, the Company continues to supply existing products to domestic and international markets. To engage in the green circular economy and advanced semiconductor industries, the Company is currently negotiating with leading semiconductor manufacturers on cooperation related to the recycling and reuse of waste sulfuric acid. The Company is developing industrial ammonium sulfate for export and, based on its existing electronic-grade chemical production capacity and solvent recovery business, plans to establish organic solvent storage tanks for electronic chemicals and to enhance the EBR (edge bead remover) product line. These initiatives aim to position the Company as a key raw material partner in the semiconductor and green supply chains, thereby laying a foundation for cross-sectoral upgrading and profitability. In response to the "National Climate Change Response Act" and the "2050 Net-Zero Emissions Policy," the Company has promoted the installation of greenhouse gas reduction equipment at the nitric acid plant.

The Nangang C2 development project was completed in December 2023. Building A has been leased to a hotel operator, Building B achieved an occupancy rate of 95.1% as of December 2025, and leasing operations for the serviced apartments in Building C were

3


completed in 2025. The Nangang C4 development project is expected to be completed in 2027.

The construction project for the new office building in the Hsinchu D7-B Technology and Business District is planned to be developed, constructed, and operated for lease by the Company. The project officially commenced on May 9, 2025, and is expected to be completed in June 2029.

The development project for Hsinchu D4 and D5 blocks was approved by the Board of Directors in December 2025. The Company plans to carry out planning, design, and contracting operations in 2026. Future progress will be adjusted on a rolling basis according to market demand.

III. Outlook:

In 2025, benefiting from companies' advance stocking effects and the development of AI technology innovations, the impact of high U.S. tariffs on the global economy was mitigated. Coupled with easing global inflation and a shift toward accommodative monetary policies, the global economy experienced moderate growth. However, due to ongoing U.S. tariff policies, conflicts in the Middle East, and heightened geopolitical risks, the Company will continue to closely monitor international developments and make necessary preparations to respond accordingly.

In the fertilizer business, the Company is committed to "smart agriculture" and the "circular economy." It continues to develop the Granule King No. 1, liquid slow-release fertilizer formulas and their applications in aquaculture, proprietary environmentally friendly composite coating materials, fertilizer processing technologies, and compound fertilizers enriched with agricultural resource additives. The Company collaborates with industry, government, academia, and research institutions to promote sustainable farming practices.

Under the net-zero carbon reduction trend and Taiwan's carbon fee policy, the Company regards environmental sustainability as a catalyst for its core business transformation. The chemical business is actively investing in greenhouse gas reduction equipment, with plans to complete installation and commissioning by 2027. This is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 90% (equivalent to a reduction of 374,000 tons of CO2e). The Company is classified by the Ministry of Environment as a "high carbon leakage risk industry" and has submitted a voluntary reduction plan that has passed review, thereby qualifying for preferential carbon fee rates. Additionally, through process optimization and technological upgrades, the Company leverages its existing scale advantages to enter the semiconductor and high-tech industry supply chains, enhancing product competitiveness and strengthening the chemical business's profitability contribution.

At the same time, the real estate business will play a key role in establishing a foundation for sustainable finance. The development projects in Nangang Trade and Economic Park and Hsinchu Science Park are progressing steadily according to plan. The Company addresses the demand for low-carbon operations and energy-saving sustainability by designing all buildings according to green building and smart building standards. This approach supports the Company in maintaining long-term stable cash flow income, underpinning overall operations and achieving the strategic goal of increasing the proportion of sustainable finance.

Taiwan Fertilizer Co., Ltd. has been established for eighty years and is currently at a critical turning point in its transformation and upgrading. In the future, the Company will strengthen

4


resource and investment allocation to leverage the synergistic effects among the three core sectors of fertilizer, chemical, and real estate. By establishing real estate as a sustainable asset base, the Company aims to create a more resilient development space for the innovative transformation of the fertilizer and chemical industries, thereby realizing the blueprint for sustainable corporate development.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statement 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 material accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 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 of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

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

1. Inventory Valuation

For details of accounting policies related to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 4(h) Inventory of the financial statements. For details of uncertainties in accounting estimates and assumptions related to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 5(a) of the consolidated financial statements. For descriptions on inventory valuation, please refer to Note 6(f) of the consolidated financial statements:


KPMG

Key audit matter:

Description of key audit matter

The inventory amount of the Group is presented at the lower of costs and net realizable amount. As The price of material is subject to market volatility, the Group complies with the policy of Ministry of Agriculture in order to stabilize the domestic fertilizer price, which may, in turn, generate risks where the inventory costs are higher than the net realizable value. Therefore, inventory valuation is a matter that requires great attention for our audits on the consolidated financial statements.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our audit procedures for the above key audit matters included understanding and evaluating management's inventory valuation policies; participating in the inventory count and inspecting the condition of inventory to assess whether any obsolete or damaged inventory; sampling the latest sales prices of inventory and assessing the reasonableness of net realizable value as well as determining whether the related disclosure items for inventory allowances are appropriate.

Other Matter

We did not audit the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 of the certain investees in equity method. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the corporation's financial statements for these investees, is based solely on the report of other auditors. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the investments in the aforementioned investees are 11.59% (NT$9,444,994 thousand) and 11.46% (NT$9,295,657 thousand) of consolidated total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the investment income on the above said investees are 104.16% (NT$1,208,866 thousand) and 59.99% (NT$982,598 thousand) of the Group's income before income tax.

TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD. has additionally prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, on which we have issued an unqualified 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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC, 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.

KPMG

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 auditor’s 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 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 auditor’s 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 the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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


KPMG

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Chen, Chung-Che and Huang, Hsin-Ting.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Board of Directors of TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD.:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of TAIWAN FERTILIZER CO., LTD.("the Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), International Accounting Standards ("IASs"), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 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 Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account of 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 of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

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

1. Inventory Valuation

For details of accounting policies related to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 4(g) Inventory of the financial statements. For details of uncertainties in accounting estimates and assumptions related to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 5(a) of the financial statements. For descriptions on inventory valuation, please refer to Note 6(f) of the financial statements:


KPMG

Description of key audit matter:

The inventory amount of the Company is presented at the lower of costs and net realizable amount. As The price of material is subject to market volatility, the Company complies with the policy of Ministry of Agriculture in order to stabilize the domestic fertilizer price, which may, in turn, generate risks where the inventory costs are higher than the net realizable value. Therefore, inventory valuation is a matter that requires great attention for our audits on the financial statements.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our audit procedures for the above key audit matters included: understanding and evaluating management's inventory valuation policies; participating in the inventory count and inspecting the condition of inventory to assess whether any obsolete or damaged inventory; sampling the latest sales prices of inventory and assessing the reasonableness of net realizable value; as well as determining whether the related disclosure items for inventory allowances are appropriate.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, of certain investees in equity method. Those 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 these investees, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the investments in the aforementioned investees are 11.63% (NT$9,444,994 thousand) and 11.51% (NT$9,295,657 thousand), of the Company’s total assets. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the investment income on the above said investees are 107.70% (NT$1,208,866 thousand) and 61.50% (NT$982,598 thousand) of the Company’s income before income tax.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, 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 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 Company’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 Company 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 Company’s financial reporting process.

KPMG

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 auditor’s 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 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 Company’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 Company’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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 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.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit.

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.

20


KPMG

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Chen, Chung-Che and Huang, Hsin-Ting.

Article 3 The Company shall specify in its shareholders meeting notices the time during which shareholder attendance registrations will be accepted, the place to register for attendance, and other matters for attention.

The time during which shareholder attendance registrations will be accepted, as stated in the preceding paragraph, shall be at least 30 minutes prior to the time the meeting commences. The place at which attendance registrations are accepted shall be clearly marked and a sufficient number of competent personnel assigned to handle the registrations.

Shareholders or their proxies (collectively, "shareholders") shall attend shareholders' meetings based on attendance cards, sign-in cards, or other certificates of attendance. Solicitors soliciting proxy forms shall also bring identification documents for verification.

The Company shall furnish the present shareholders with an attendance book to sign, or present shareholders may hand in a sign-in card in lieu of signing in.

The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the attendance book and sign-in cards handed in plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronically.

The Company shall furnish present shareholders with the meeting handbook, annual report, attendance card, speaker's slips, voting slips, and other meeting materials.

Where there is an election of directors or independent directors, pre-printed ballots shall also be furnished.

Article 4 Attendance and votes at shareholders' meetings shall be calculated based on numbers 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 a motion, and there is the


likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Company, that shareholder may not vote on that motion, 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 present shareholders.

Article 5 The venue for a shareholders’ meeting shall be the premises of the Company, or a place easily accessible to shareholders and suitable for a shareholders’ meeting. The meeting may begin no earlier than 9 a.m. and no later than 3 p.m.

Article 6 If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting shall be chaired by the Chairman of Board. When the Chairman is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the chairperson, the Chairman shall appoint one of the directors to act as chairperson. Where the Chairman does not make such a designation, the directors shall select from among themselves one person to serve as the chairperson.

When a director serves as the chairperson, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the director shall be one who has held that position for six months or more and who understands the financial and business conditions of the Company. The same shall apply where the chairperson is a representative of a corporate director.

Article 9 The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time, while announcing the related information of shares without voting rights and attending shares. 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, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a

40


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.

Article 10 The board shall set the agenda for the meetings which it convenes. Relevant proposals (including extraordinary motions and amendments to the original proposals) shall be decided on a case-by-case basis. The meeting shall be carried out based on the agenda, and shall not be changed without the resolution of the shareholders.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders’ meeting convened by a party with the power to convene other than the Board of Directors.

The chairperson may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including Extraordinary Motion), except by a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting.

Article 11 Unless the chair violates the rules of procedures, and the other members of the board promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, and the agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders continues the meeting, a chair shall not be re-elected to hold a meeting at the original or another new venue.

Article 12 When a meeting is in progress, the chairperson may announce a break based on time considerations.

Before speaking, a present 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 chairperson. 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 contents of the speech do not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken contents shall prevail. When a present shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chairperson and the shareholder who gives the speech. The chairperson shall stop any violation.

Article 13 Except with the consent of the chairperson, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same motion, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes.

Shareholders may exercise their voting power in correspondence or by electronic transmission in shareholder meetings, and the exercise method shall be specified in the notice of shareholders meeting in the both cases. Shareholders exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person.

After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders’ meeting in person, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to the Company, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before 2 business days before the date of the shareholders’ meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted beyond said-noted time limit, 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.

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 3 percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares; otherwise, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.
