The decline in 2023 v.s. 2022 is 38.92%, mainly because 2022 business continued the recovery and resurgence of various industries from the 2021 epidemic. The market demand was strong, so it was considered a high base period. In fact, 2023 has various problems in the entire market, including the impact of geopolitics and many complex factors. The electronics industry was in recession in general, and our company's operations have achieved about 90% of our original budget, so I think the team has done their best. Looking forward to 2024, as shown in the financial report for the first quarter of 2024, YoY has grown by about 20% compared to last year. At present, according to the order situation and the development status of industry, the company is confident that it will try its best to make this year grow better than last year. This is something our team is working hard and confident about.

For the production in third place, due to the China-US trade war, we must first consider the stability of the supply chain. Currently, we have chosen to set up a factory in Indonesia, and expect mass production will begin in the third quarter of this year. The contribution to revenue is currently not obvious. But it is strategically necessary.

The company compiles operating indicators related to the internal control system and internal control management methods every year. Risk management and control must be timely and transparent. A general review of operation management is conducted every month. Each indicator will be presented, evaluated and discussed, and the information transparency is in line with expectations.

Discussion Matter (2) Proposed by the Board of Directors

Subject:To issue Common Shares for Cash Capital Increase through Private Placement Description:

  1. In order to cooperate with long-term operational development with introducing strategic partners, enriches working capital, strengthens the financial structure, and considers the cost of raising funds and the timeliness and convenience, the company plans to comply with the provisions of Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

At an appropriate time, the cash capital increase and the issuance of common shares in the form of private placement will be submitted to the shareholders' meeting to authorize the board of directors to decide based on the circumstances of the specific person and market conditions in the future. This will be conducted in batches (up to two batches) within one year from the date the shareholders' meeting resolves this private placement case.

  1. The company’s cash capital increase and issuance of common shares by private placement are as follows:

(1) Private placement amount and number of shares: it is estimated that the total number of private placement common shares will not exceed 25,000,000 shares, with a par value of NT$10 per share. The actual number of shares issued will not exceed the estimated number of private placement shares approved by the shareholders' meeting, and will be submitted to the shareholders' meeting. The board of directors is authorized to handle the matter according to the circumstances of the specific person and market conditions in the future.

(2) Matters to be explained when conducting private placement of securities in accordance with Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act:

A The basis and rationality for the privately placed common stock pricing:

The price of this private placement shall be no less than 80% of the higher of the following two reference prices before the company's pricing date:

(a) The simple arithmetic average of the closing prices of common shares calculated on one of 1, 3, and 5 business days before the pricing date, deducting the ex-rights of gratuitous allotment of shares and dividends, and adding back the stock price per share after adding back the right of ex-rights for capital reduction.

(b) The simple arithmetic average of the closing prices of common shares 30 business days before the pricing date, deducting the ex-rights and dividends of gratuitous share allotment, and adding back the stock price per share after adding back the anti-ex-rights of capital reduction.

The actual pricing date and the actual issuance price shall be within the range of not less than the majority of the resolution of the shareholders' meeting, and the board of directors is authorized to decide based on the circumstances of the specific person and market conditions in the future. The basis for setting the aforementioned private placement price complies with the provisions of “Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities " and also considers that there are strict restrictions on the transfer time, objects and quantity of private placement common shares. Therefore, the setting of this private placement price should be reasonable.

B Specific person selection method

(a) The method of applicant selection: The targets of this issuance of common shares are limited to specific persons who comply with the provisions of Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act and other relevant laws and regulations and relevant letters and explanations from the competent authorities.

(c) The relationship between the applicant and the company: The company has not yet decided on a specific applicant, and the selection of the actual applicant will be submitted to the shareholders' meeting to authorize the board of directors to decide in accordance with the above-mentioned laws.

C、Necessary reasons for conducting private placement

(a) The reason for not using public offering: In order to introduce strategic partners in response to the company's long-term development and to stabilize and strengthen the company's product market operation competitiveness, and considering that private placement targets, private placement methods are relatively quick and simple, such as issuing securities through raising, it may not be easy to obtain the required funds smoothly in the short term. It is planned to use private placement to increase cash capital and issue common stock to raise funds from specific people. By authorizing the board of directors to conduct private placement based on market conditions and in line with the company's actual needs, it will increase the company's flexibility and efficiency to raise capital. The restriction on the

transfer of privately-placed securities within three years will further ensure the long-term cooperative relationship between the company and its strategic partners.

(b) Private placement quota: within the quota of no more than 25,000,000 shares, it will be conducted in batches (up to two batches) within one year from the date of resolution of the shareholders' meeting. The actual fundraising quota is planned to be authorized by the board of directors based on the current market conditions, the actual needs of the company, and handle it by contacting a specific person.

(c) Manage the use of funds from the private placement and expected benefits: The funds raised this time will be used to meet the company's long-term operational development needs and to enrich working capital. It is expected to reduce the company's operating risks, strengthen its financial structure, improve future operating performance, and have positive benefits for shareholders' equity.

Three years after the completion of this private placement of common shares from the date of delivery, the board of directors is authorized to decide based on the current situation whether to obtain a letter of consent from the Taiwan Stock Exchange for the issuance of listing standards in accordance with relevant regulations, and then submit the issuance procedures to the Financial Supervisory Commission, and apply for listing and trading.

E After this private placement and the introduction of strategic partners, there will be no major changes in management rights.

F This private placement of common shares will be conducted in batches (up to two batches) within one year from the date of submitting the resolution to the shareholders' meeting.

The main contents of the plan for private placement of common stock, including the actual number of private placement shares, the actual private placement price, and the selection of applicants, pricing date, record date, project items, use and status of funds, expected results and other related matters and so on, if changes are required due to approval by the competent authority or based on operational assessment or due to objective circumstances, it is proposed to the shareholders' meeting to authorize the board of directors to handle it with full authority.

G In addition to the scope of authorization mentioned above, it is proposed that the shareholders' meeting authorize the chairman to sign, negotiate and change all contracts and documents related to the issuance of common shares through private placement on behalf of the company, and to handle all matters necessary for the company to issue common shares through private placement.

3. Please approve.

Summary of speech by shareholder account number 235522:

  • Please explain when you can find a partner? What is the current working capital and financial structure? If need funds, why not keep a cash dividend of N$4.5 per share?

Summary of the Chairman's reply:

The company will continue to search for candidates after the resolution of the shareholders' meeting is passed, but no specific applicants have been contacted yet. The company’s debt ratio remains around 40%, and its accumulated undistributed earnings are more than NT$ 3 billion. However, expanding production in

third places and responding to future industrial development require a large investment, so it plans to use private placement to increase cash capital and issue common shares. The company still hopes to safeguard the rights and interests of shareholders and continue to maintain the payment of cash dividends

Summary of speech by shareholder account number 53490:

  • Can the company directly disclose after-tax earnings when disclosing earnings in the future? Not the pretax earnings.

  • Based on the current situation of the company, is there any way to paying dividends every six months?

Summary of the Chairman's reply:

Since a large portion of TXC Corporation’s business comes from its subsidiaries, the tax rates of each subsidiaries are different, including tax incentives and investment deductions, etc., which cannot be directly calculated based on the tax rate. The actual tax rate needs to be calculated, then the after-tax earnings could be disclosed. We will continue to pay attention to this issue.

According to the Company Act, earnings can be distributed more than once a year. If EPS is high in the future, we will work hard in this direction.

Resolution:

The subject is voting by poll and the result is: approval votes: 212,515,526 shares accounted for 89.09% of total shares, disapproval votes: 2,700,486 shares, abstention votes / no votes: 23,299,687 shares, invalid votes: 0 share.

Looking back on 2023, it has been an eventful year. Major changes have taken place in global politics, military, economy, environment, and science and technology.

ESG has also made great progress in 2023. The disclosure scope of the sustainability report has been expanded to include the NGB plant and CKG plant. The self-built solar power generation of the PCF plant has successfully completed operation and power supply. It has completed a CPPA contract with a private power supply provider to purchase renewable energy for a long time of 50 million kilowatt-hours. Crystal product series have completed ISO14067 product carbon footprint certification and ISO50001 energy management system certification, and at the same time started to build an energy management information system. So far, TXC Corporation has obtained three major net-zero carbon emission ESG-related certifications: ISO14064, ISO14067 and ISO50001, which not only conforms to world trends and international customer requirements, but also fully demonstrates the company's determination and commitment to sustainable development.

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

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

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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 Ming-Chung Hsieh and Yu-Shiou Su.

TXC Corporation

Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and Independent Auditors’ Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders TXC Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of TXC Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “parent company only financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our 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 parent company only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only 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 matter identified in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 is stated as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s revenue was approximately 17% less compared to its revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. In comparison with 2022, the revenue derived from specific customers increased; therefore, we considered the occurrence of revenue derived from specific customers as a key audit matter. For the accounting policy for revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4.

The key audit procedures that we performed included the following:

  1. We obtained an understanding and tested the appropriateness of the design and the implementation of internal control system that is related to revenue recognition.

  2. We selected samples from the revenue details of specific customers, checked the sales orders and delivery notes, and we confirmed the occurrence of the sales revenue.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only 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.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 parent company only 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 parent company only 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 parent company only 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only 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 parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 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 Ming-Chung Hsieh and Yu-Shiou Su.
