TPK Holding Co., Ltd.

營業報告書

2022 年全球仍受到新冠疫情影響,烏俄戰火未停,整體經濟尚未復甦,加上高通膨的 壓力,使全球消費力道走向疲軟,消費性電子產品庫存水位逐漸升高,相關供應鏈廠商連 帶受挫,發生出貨延遲或停滯的情況,再加上聯準會連續升息,全球科技大廠在市場與資 金的雙重壓力下,為了降低運營成本甚至出現裁員潮。而公司在市場景氣指標向下的不利 情況下,積極採取提升集團整體綜效之管理策略,在全體同仁合力執行高效生產、嚴格庫 存管控、積極優化成本下,雖然全年營收較 2021 年下滑,本業獲利仍能優於去年的表現。

展望 2023 年,新冠疫情趨於平緩,各國隔離政策轉向解封與開放,全球交通網絡也陸 續恢復正常運作,然而疫後消費性市場需求水平尚未恢復,公司將繼續執行精實營運,並 堅持創新發展,深化 TPK 的核心競爭力,掌握市場新趨勢與新動能,偕同既有客戶提升下 一世代產品的價值,並為新客戶開發量產更多與時俱進的新產品;同時,公司也將持續開 展新業,建立更多優質客戶,擴大合作夥伴的網絡,致力追求事業成長與永續發展。

2022 年策略目標

自2022 年下半年新冠疫情已步入後疫階段,市場需求已提前反應且受到市場高通膨因 素干擾及供應鏈受阻,使公司面臨諸多挑戰,本公司因應國際情勢,市場需求及產業變化, 已執行的策略目標概述如下:

() 產品創新、高效精益 :

受到疫情等外在環境干擾,材料、運輸、人工及物價等各項成本皆有不利因素,公司 採高效之供應鏈與生產製造管理,優化成本並專注提高品質良率及生產效率,增加客戶對 產品品質與服務的滿意度,也增進本業獲利表現。 TPK 秉持擔任客戶主要供應商的信念, 積極爭取優質的新客戶,除既有平板、筆電等市場新一代產品成功量產,另外在新型電子 筆記本及新電動車觸控螢幕系統總成等項目皆有所斬獲,透過擴大產品供應及服務內容, 提高客戶產品價值,也同步提升終端使用者最佳產品使用體驗。

() 競力外擴、創局展業

-11-

() 保守穩健、穩步經營

2022 年營收下滑,惟公司費用控管得宜,全年營業費用率仍維持約 3.7% ;且因近年 不斷精進自動化設備生產製程,使人力調度較為彈性, 2022 年底員工人數由 15,000 人略降 至 14,800 人左右。因應企業營運風險提高,公司也嚴加管理帳款收付與庫存去化進度,配 合前端市場銷售訊息管理生產製造,使公司在面對營收減少與市場需求低迷的挑戰下,仍 在風險及成本控管上有優異表現。

財務表現

本公司 2022 年合併營收約為新台幣 972 億元,較 2021 年減少 5.7% ,歸屬母公司之稅 後淨利約為新台幣 5.4 億元,稀釋後每股淨利為新台幣 1.34 元,較 2021 年減少。

研發情形

公司為觸控解決方案的先進者,在既有產品線上將攜手客戶持續開發新設計、新材料、 新產品;另一方面,也將持續開拓更多元之產品應用,善用公司在量產製造及供應鏈管理 之豐富經驗,以創新、優化的生產製程協助合作夥伴導入新技術,並順利、及時將產品快 速量產及商業化。截至 2022 年底,集團已獲核准專利權數為 2,989 項,其中發明專利 1,731 項,新型專利 1,258 項; 2023 年仍將積極主張本公司所擁有之專利權利,持續研發與申請, 以確保公司在觸控領域之產品技術領先,以及在新事業的妥善佈局。

2023 年營業計劃概要

放眼 2023 年,通膨與高息環境對全球經濟帶來相當的壓力,另一方面,地緣政治風險 仍在,世界政經秩序的變化,時刻牽動全球經貿動態及供應鏈佈局與管理。因此,公司將 持續審慎度量國際情勢、經濟需求與產業變化,適時對應,調整公司策略。 2023 年公司營 業計畫概述如下:

一 ( ) 創新堅實、積本厚業:

公司將以堅強的研發與製造實力,擔任客戶新產品的量產開發夥伴與關鍵供應商,並 爭取更多優質新客戶。今年在觸控新產品開發上,將配合客戶產品規劃逐步推出搭配新型 顯示器之觸控產品;車載顯示系統總成產品也會陸續開始量產;我們將與既有客戶共同成 長,維持量產產品穩定的生產與品質,並積極參與下世代產品開發驗證,在既有產品供應 的基礎上,為客戶提升產品與服務價值,擴大業務與深化客戶夥伴的長遠合作關係。

-12-

( 二 ) 競力外擴、蓄勢待發:

TPK 持續創新,堅實運營,在既有事業擴大競爭力,更要將工程製造生產管理的核心 競爭力,擴展到新事業。 2022 年我們已陸續取得車載觸控顯示系統總成產品的專案、 3D 列印製造品項及雙輪驅動電動車製造, 2023 年公司將善用核心競爭力,參與品牌客戶前期 產品設計開發,主導製程開發工程導入,完善產品驗證,設計建置設備產線,建構管理供 應鏈,為新客戶新產品實現高品質的快速量產,繼續往新觸控、新能源、新材料等領域延 伸,蓄力發展成為全球永續經營,營運持續成長之企業。

( 三 ) 保守穩健、穩步經營

全球通膨與市場消費需求不穩定,升息政策可能持續,經貿環境仍充斥著不確定性因 素,增加企業運營的風險,故本公司仍將維持低財務槓桿政策,以穩健保守之財務結構來 因應電子產業產品出貨隨淡旺季等需求更迭,致營收與獲利變化較大對資金調度所造成之 影響,另一方面,公司財務操作也會積極尋求有效之現金管理與匯率避險套利機會,平穩 資金價值並增加業外收益。

未來公司發展策略

新的一年, TPK 全體團隊將秉持努力不懈與持續精進之態度,積極尋找轉型及提供專 業製造服務的機會,以豐厚的製造服務量能延伸宸鴻經驗、深耕新領域製造,攜手客戶推 出更多新產品,全力以赴讓 2023 年成為 TPK 的積蓄年。

同樣地,公司也會一如既往恪守企業應擔負的社會責任,強化環境保護、關懷社會弱勢, 落實公司治理( ESG ),遵循法令法規實行節能減碳,建構綠電節能生產,實施碳排查及碳 中和計畫,持續永續發展的進程。最後, TPK 經營團隊要向各位股東、客戶與全體同仁致 上最深謝意,感謝各位長期的支持與愛護,殷切期盼各位股東先進們能對公司團隊的努力 與付出給予肯定,支持本公司未來發展的策略與方向,在創新製造整合的道路上,讓我們 繼續穩中求進,轉型向上,為股東創造最大利益,並且秉持初衷,為社會貢獻一己之力。

TPK Holding Co., Ltd.

Business Report

In 2022, the global economy are still impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and continued conflicts in Ukraine and Russia. In addition, the overall economy had not yet recovered, and the pressure of high inflation led the consuming power weakened. The inventory level of consumer electronics products gradually increased, causing related supply chain manufacturers to suffer setbacks, resulting in shipping delays or stagnation. Furthermore, with the Fed's consecutive interest rate hikes, global tech giants faced the dual pressures of the market demand and capital needs, and even implemented layoffs to reduce operating costs. Despite the unfavorable market conditions, the company actively adopted management strategies to improve the synergy and production efficiency of the group. With the best efforts of all employees, it executed efficient production, strict inventory control, and actively optimized costs. Although the annual revenue has decreased in 2022, the operating income is more profitable than the year before.

Looking forward to 2023, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to be under control, and countries around the world are gradually lifting their quarantine policies and opening up. The global transportation network is also gradually returning to normal. However, the demand for consumer markets after the pandemic has not yet fully recovered. The company will continue to implement lean operations and adhere to innovative development, strengthen TPK's core competitiveness, keep up with market trends and grasp the new growth momentum. Meanwhile, TPK will work with existing customers to enhance the value of next-generation products and develop more state-of-the-art products for new customers. At the same time, the company will continue to explore new businesses, build up more connections with high-quality customers, expand the network of working partners, and strive for business growth and sustainable development.

Review of 2022 Company Strategy

Since the second half of 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic has entered the post-epidemic phase, and market demand has already rebounded earlier, in addition, inflation and supply chain disruptions continue to influence the demand and shipment. This has posed many challenges for the company. In response to the worldwide economy circumstances, market demand, and industry changes, the strategic goals that the company has executed are outlined below.

  1. Product innovation and better efficiency

-14-

Due to external factors such as the pandemic, material costs, transportation, labor, and prices of living have all been adversely affected. The company has adopted an efficient supply chain and production management to optimize costs and focus on improving product quality, yield rate, and production efficiency. This has increased customer satisfaction with product quality and service, and has also improved the company's profitability. TPK upholds the belief of being the main supplier for customers and actively seeks high-quality new customers. In addition to successfully mass producing new-generation products such as tablets and laptops, the company has also made significant gains in projects such as new electronic notebook and touch screen systems for new electric vehicles. By expanding product lines and service, TPK aims to increase the value of customers’ products and improve the best user experience for end-users.

2. Competiveness enhancement and new business scope exploration

To adapt to the trend of climate change, anti-global warming, and carbon reduction, the company has actively developed innovative industries in new materials and new energy, and worked with more partners in trend industries to create new businesses with integrated manufacturing services. The R&D unit has been fully committed to developing new products, innovative engineering manufacturing, and strengthening the core competitiveness of the supply chain and production management to assist the development of new businesses. Currently, the company has obtained a project for the new energy vehicle cockpit central control system product. The company has also developed more diverse 3D printing product designs and layered manufacturing, and successfully expanded the product range and application by producing the dual-drive all-terrain two-wheel vehicle of a New Zealand brand last year.

3. Conservative policy and stable operation

In 2022, despite a decline in revenue, the company managed its expenses well, with an annual operating expense rate of approximately 3.7%. Furthermore, due to continuous improvement in automation equipment and production processes in recent years, the company can enjoy the flexibility of manpower scheduling, resulting in a slight reduction in the employee headcount from around 15,000 at the end of 2022 to around 14,800. To cope with increased operational risks, the company also rigorously managed accounts receivable and payable, as well as inventory turnover, while closely monitoring market information. As a result, the company demonstrated outstanding performance in risk control and cost management despite the challenges of reduced revenue and weak market demand.

Financial Results

TPK reported sales of NT$97.2 billion in 2022, down 5.7% year-on-year, and net profit for the parent company totaled NT$544 million with a diluted earnings per share of NT$1.34 decreased from 2021.

Research & Development

As a leading company in touch solutions, our company continues to collaborate with customers to develop new designs, materials, and products in our existing product line. At the same time, we will continue to explore more diverse product applications, leveraging our rich experience in mass production manufacturing and supply chain management to assist our partners in adopting new technologies through innovative and optimized production processes, enabling rapid mass production and commercialization of products. As of the end of 2022, the group has been granted a total of 2,989 patents, including 1,731 invention patents and 1,258 utility model patents. In 2023, we will continue to actively assert our patent rights, engage in ongoing research and development, and apply for new patents to ensure our leading position in touch technology and a solid presence in new business ventures.

Summary of Business Plans for 2023

Looking ahead to 2023, the global economy is facing significant pressures from inflation and high interest rates, as well as ongoing geopolitical risks and changes in the world's political and economic order, which constantly impact global economic and trade dynamics, as well as supply chain layout and management. Therefore, the company will continue to carefully assess international situations, economic demand, and industry changes, and respond timely to adjust our strategies accordingly. The outline of our business plan for 2023 is as follows:

  1. Innovation with solid foundation and accumulation of extensive experiences

The company will leverage its strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities to serve as a mass production development partner and key supplier for customers' new products, and strive to gain more high-quality new customers. This year, in the development of new touch products, we will gradually introduce touch products of integrated assembly products for automotive display systems. We will work together with the existing customers to grow together, maintain stable production and quality of mass production products, and actively participate in the development and verification of next-generation products. On the basis of existing product supply, we will

-16-

enhance product and service value for customers, expand our business, and deepen long-term cooperative relationships with customers.

2. Strengthening competitive expansion and gearing up for upcoming challenges

TPK will continue to innovate and steadily operate, expanding competitiveness in existing businesses while also extending core competencies in engineering, manufacturing, and production management to new ventures. In 2022, we have already secured projects in the production of complete sets of touch display systems for automotive applications, 3D printing manufacturing, and dual-wheel drive electric vehicle manufacturing. In 2023, the company will leverage its core competencies to participate in early-stage product design and development for brand customers, lead process development and implementation, optimize product validation, design and establish equipment production lines, and construct a managed supply chain to achieve high-quality and rapid mass production of new products for new customers. We will continue to expand into new fields such as new touch technology, new energy, and new materials, and strive to become a globally sustainable and continuously growing enterprise.

3. Conservative and steady operation

Due to global inflation and uncertain market demand, as well as potential interest rate hikes and the volatile economic and trade environment, our company will maintain a low financial leverage policy to cope with fluctuations in demand due to seasonality in the electronics industry. We will maintain a conservative and prudent financial structure to mitigate the impact on cash flow and profitability.

Exhibit 3

-32-

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

Valuation of Inventory

The description of the key audit matter:

As of December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of inventory was NT$9,270,132 thousand (net of the allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses of NT$694,434 thousand), which accounted for 11% of the Group’s total assets. The Group is mainly engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and selling touch modules and related products. As the touch modules industry is characterized by rapid change in technology, as well as short life cycles for the related products, in this regard, the risk surrounding the write-down of slow moving and obsolete inventory is higher. Based on the aging of inventories, the net realizable value of the Group’s products, the related sales status and the changes in the market, the Group evaluated and recognized losses related to the write-down of slow moving and obsolete inventory monthly. Since such valuation of inventory requires significant judgment from management, the valuation of inventory has been identified as a key audit matter.

Refer to Notes 4 (g), 5 (c) and 11 to the Group’s consolidated financial statements for details of the related accounting policy and the relevant information about inventory.

Corresponding audit procedures:

As for the evaluation of losses related to the write-down of slow moving and obsolete inventory, after first gaining familiarity with the industry characteristics to which the Group belongs, we obtained an understanding of the reasonability of the Group’s policy for the provision for obsolete inventory and inventory whose carrying amount was lower than the net realizable value, and we randomly inspected inventory aging and performed our own calculation to verify whether the loss recognized adhered to the Group’s provision policy.

In addition, at the end of the year, we performed an inventory observation and random counting to understand the inventory status and evaluate the appropriateness of the loss of obsolete and damaged inventory.

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.

-33-

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.

-34-

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, 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Pi-Yu Chuang and Tzu-Jung Kuo.

  • 33.2 The Company may have for use in any place or places outside the Cayman Islands a duplicate Seal or Seals, each of which shall be a facsimile of the common Seal of the Company and kept under the custody of a person appointed by the Directors, and if the Directors so determine, with the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used.

  • 34 Dividends, Distributions and Reserve

  • 34.1 Upon the annual final settlement of the Company’s accounts, if there is surplus profits on

-121-

the Company's net profits before tax (before deducting any employees' compensation and Directors' compensation), the board of Directors shall, upon approval by a majority of the Directors present at a meeting attended by two-thirds or more of the total number of the Directors, set aside employees' compensation and Directors' compensation in accordance with the following manner, and report such distribution of compensation to the general meeting. However, if the Company has accumulated losses, the Company shall reserve an amount thereof first to offset the losses:

  • (a) no less than 0.1% as employees' compensation;

  • (b) no more than 2% as Directors' compensation.

Employees' compensation stated in Article 34.1(a) above may be distributed by way of cash or by way of applying such sum in paying up in full unissued shares, or a combination of both; employees entitled to the compensation includes those of the Company' Subsidiaries who meet certain qualifications; when the Company distributes compensation to employees of its Subsidiaries, such compensation may be distributed directly by the Company or indirectly by and through the relevant Subsidiaries.

The Company may distribute profits in accordance with a proposal for distribution of profits prepared by the Directors and approved by the Members by a resolution adopted at a general meeting. The Directors shall prepare such proposal as follows: the proposal shall begin with the Company’s Annual Net Income and offset its losses in previous years that have not been previously offset, then set aside a legal capital reserve at 10% of the balance, until the accumulated legal capital reserve has equalled the Paid-in Capital of the Company; then set aside a special capital reserve, if one is required, in accordance with the Applicable Public Company Rules or as requested by the authorities in charge; the rest amount (hereinafter the "Distributable Profits in a Given Year") plus any accumulated undistributed profits of previous years may be distributed as Dividends (including cash dividends or stock dividends) in accordance with the Statute and the Applicable Public Company Rules and after taking into consideration financial, business and operational factors. The amount to be distributed as Dividends shall not be less than 10% of the Distributable Profits in a Given Year. The Company will pay a portion of such Dividends in cash, which cash portion shall be no less than 10% of the total amount of such Dividends except that if the total amount of Dividends payable per share in a given year will be less than NT$1, the 10% threshold shall not apply and the Company may, at its sole discretion, pay such Dividends, in whole or in part, by distribution of cash and/or stock. The Company may decide not to distribute any Dividends (including cash dividends or stock dividends) if the Distributable Profits in a Given Year is less than 10% of the Paid-in Capital at the end of the relevant financial year.

-122-

  • 34.2 Subject to the Statute and this Article, the Directors may declare Dividends and distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. No Dividend or distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, or out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by the Statute.

  • 34.3 Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares, all Dividends shall be declared and paid in proportion to the number of Shares that a Member holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.

  • 34.4 The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by him to the Company on any account.

  • 34.5 The Directors may, after obtaining an Ordinary Resolution, declare that any Dividend or distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Directors.

  • 34.6 Any Dividend, distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent.

  • 34.7 No Dividend or distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

  • 34.8 Any Dividend which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date of declaration of such Dividend may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company's name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date of declaration of such Dividend shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

35 Capitalisation

Subject to Article 14.2(d), the Directors may capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company's reserve accounts (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution and to appropriate such sum to Members in the

-123-

proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst them had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend and to apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit such that Shares shall not become distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned.

36 Tender Offer

Within seven days after the receipt of the copy of a tender offer application form and relevant documents by the Company or its litigation or non-litigation agent appointed pursuant to the Applicable Public Company Rules, the board of the Directors shall resolve to recommend to the Members whether to accept or object to the tender offer and make a public announcement of the following:

  1. The types and amount of the Shares held by the Directors and the Members holding more than 10% of the outstanding Shares in its own name or in the name of other persons.

  2. Recommendations to the Members on the tender offer, which shall set forth the names of the Directors who abstain or object to the tender offer and the reason(s) therefor.

  3. Whether there is any material change in the financial condition of the Company after the submission of the latest financial report and an explanation of the change, if any.

  4. The types, numbers and amount of the Shares of the tender offeror or its affiliates held by the Directors and the Members holding more than 10% of the outstanding Shares held in its own name or in the name of other persons.

37 Books of Account

  • 37.1 The Directors shall cause proper books of account to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs and to explain its transactions.

-124-

  • 37.2 The Directors shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

  • 37.3 The Directors may from time to time cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as may be required by law.

  • 37.4 Minutes and written records of all meetings of Directors, any committees of Directors, and any general meeting may be made in English or Chinese, except where resolutions passed at any general meeting which are required to be filed with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands must be in English; minutes and written records made in the English language may be accompanied by a Chinese translation. In the event of any inconsistency between the English language version and the relevant Chinese translation, the English language version shall prevail.

  • 37.5 The instruments of proxy, documents, forms/statements and information in electronic media prepared in accordance with the Articles and relevant rules and regulations shall be kept for at least one year. However, if a Member institutes a lawsuit with respect to such instruments of proxy, documents, forms/statements and/or information mentioned herein, they shall be kept until the conclusion of the litigation if longer than one year.

38 Notices

  • 38.1 Notices shall be in writing and may be given by the Company to any Member either personally or by sending it by courier, post, cable, telex, fax or e-mail to him or to his address as shown in the Register of Members (or where the notice is given by e-mail by sending it to the e-mail address provided by such Member). Any notice, if posted from one country to another, is to be sent airmail.

  • 38.2 Where a notice is sent by courier, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by delivery of the notice to a courier company, and shall be deemed to have been received on the third day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice was delivered to the courier. Where a notice is sent by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre paying and posting a letter containing the notice, and shall be deemed to have been received on the fifth day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice was posted. Where a notice is sent by cable, telex or fax, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing and sending such notice

-125-

and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was transmitted. Where a notice is given by e-mail service shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the intended recipient and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be necessary for the receipt of the e-mail to be acknowledged by the recipient.

  • 38.3 A notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under the Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

  • 38.4 Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner hereinbefore authorised to every person shown as a Member in the Register of Members on the record date for such meeting and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Member of record where the Member of record but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

39 Winding Up

  • 39.1 If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the number of the Shares held by them. If in a winding up the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the number of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company. This Article is without prejudice to the rights of the holders of Shares issued upon special terms and conditions.

  • 39.2 If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Statute and in compliance with the Applicable Public Company Rules, divide amongst the Members in proportion to the number of Shares they hold the whole or any part of the assets of the

-126-

Company in kind (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

40 Financial Year

Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31st December in each year and, following the year of incorporation, shall begin on 1st January in each year.

41 Transfer by way of Continuation

If the Company is exempted as defined in the Statute, it shall, subject to the provisions of the Statute and with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to register by way of continuation as a body corporate under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands and to be deregistered in the Cayman Islands.

42 Appointment of Litigious and Non-Litigious Agent

The litigious and non-litigious agent shall be an individual who has a residence or domicile in the R.O.C.

43

R.O.C. Securities Laws and Regulations
