INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. (“the Corporation”, formerly Neo Solar Power Corp.), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter section of this report), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its financial performance and its 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 Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in 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. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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.

Key audit matters of the Corporation’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:

- Assessment of impairment losses on prepayments of long term purchase contracts

To stabilize the supply of raw materials in the manufacturing process, the Corporation signed several long-term materials supply agreements and made certain prepayments to be deducted from actual purchases. The assessment of impairment losses on prepayments may be influenced by any worsening of the supplier’s financial position, negative variances in the solar energy industry, and declining prices of raw materials; any of these factors could result in a deceleration in the use of the prepayments. The assessment of impairment losses on prepayments by key management personnel is related to estimations of future cash flows and the identification of rates for recognizing impairment losses. Therefore, the assessment of impairment losses on prepayments was considered as a key audit matter. The accounting policies on impairment losses on prepayments can be found in Notes 4 and 5 to the accompanying financial statements. For the description of impairment losses on prepayments, refer to Notes 17 and 37 to the financial statements.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

20

  1. We assessed the reasonableness of the method used by key management personnel for recognizing impairment losses as well as the reasonableness of assumptions.

  2. We tested the accuracy of relevant calculations of prepayment deductions and confirmed that the impairment loss was properly recognized when prepayments would not be fully applied.

Business combination

With the anticipated growth in future demand for solar energy, the bright prospect of development of the solar industry, the expansion of the solar energy business and to enhance sustainability, in 2018, the Corporation merged two companies, Gintech Energy Corporation and Solartech Energy Corporation; the Corporation is the surviving entity and renamed United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. Such acquisition created a bargain purchase gain of NT$2,261,090 thousand (Note 29). The related accounting policies, significant accounting estimates and basis of consideration are described in Notes 4 and 5 to the financial statements. Such transaction was a significant event and transaction in the current year. The fair value assessments of the acquisition-date assets and liabilities and the amount of the bargain purchase gain were based on the purchase price allocation report; the adopted method and assumptions involve the use of critical accounting judgements and estimations. Therefore, the aforementioned transaction was considered as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We reviewed minutes of meetings of the board of directors, inspected consolidated contracts and confirmed documents related to the acquisition price.

  2. We inspected and tested whether the management’s accounting treatment and recording of the acquisition-date amounts of assets and liabilities at fair value were in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

  3. We assessed the qualifications of the external expert commissioned for the professional conduct of the business combination and we reviewed the purchase price allocation report issued by the external expert.

  4. We tested the data and evidence supporting the method used and assumptions adopted in the determination of the fair value of Gintech Energy Corporation and Solartech Energy Corporation’s tangible assets and liabilities presented in the report . We recalculated the bargain purchase gain recognized in the acquisition.

We have performed compulsory audit procedures and have made adjustments to the other financial statements for them to conform with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

22

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 Corporation’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 Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 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 Yi-Hsin Kao and Yu-Feng Huang.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. (“the Corporation”, formerly Neo Solar Power Corp.) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other Matter section of this report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in 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. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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.

Key audit matters of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 are stated as follows:

- Assessment of impairment losses on prepayments of long term purchase contracts

To stabilize the supply of raw materials in the manufacturing process, the Group signed several long-term materials supply agreements and made certain prepayments to be deducted from actual purchases. The assessment of impairment losses on prepayments may be influenced by any worsening of the supplier’s financial position, negative variances in the solar energy industry, and declining prices of raw materials; any of these factors could result in a deceleration in the use of the prepayments. The assessment of impairment losses on prepayments by key management personnel is related to estimations of future cash flows and the identification of rates for recognizing impairment losses. Therefore, the assessment of impairment losses on prepayments was considered as a key audit matter. The accounting policies on impairment losses on prepayments can be found in Notes 4 and 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For the

  • 31 -

description of impairment losses on prepayments, refer to Notes 23 and 44 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We assessed the reasonableness of the method used by key management personnel for recognizing impairment losses as well as the reasonableness of assumptions.

  2. We tested the accuracy of relevant calculations of prepayment deductions and confirmed that the impairment loss was properly recognized when prepayments would not be fully applied.

Business combination

With the anticipated growth in future demand for solar energy, the bright prospect of development of the solar industry, the expansion of the solar energy business and to enhance sustainability, in 2018, the Corporation merged two companies, Gintech Energy Corporation and Solartech Energy Corporation; the Corporation is the surviving entity and renamed United Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. Such acquisition created a bargain purchase gain of NT$2,261,090 thousand (Note 35). The related accounting policies, significant accounting estimates and basis of consideration are described in Notes 4 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements. Such transaction was a significant event and transaction in the current year. The fair value assessment of the acquisition-date assets and liabilities and the amount of the bargain purchase gain were based on the purchase price allocation report; the adopted method and assumptions involve the use of critical accounting judgements and estimations. Therefore, the aforementioned transaction was considered as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:

  1. We reviewed minutes of meetings of the board of directors, inspected consolidated contracts and confirmed documents related to the acquisition price.

  2. We inspected and tested whether the management’s accounting treatment and recording of the acquisition-date amounts of assets and liabilities at fair value were in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

  3. We assessed the qualifications of the external expert commissioned for the professional conduct of the business combination and we reviewed the purchase price allocation report issued by the external expert.

  4. We tested the data and evidence supporting the method used and assumptions adopted in the determination of the fair value of Gintech Energy Corporation and Solartech Energy Corporation’s tangible assets and liabilities presented in the report . We recalculated the bargain purchase gain recognized in the acquisition.

Other Matter

Some subsidiaries included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors. The amounts within the consolidated financial statements for those subsidiaries were based solely on the reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, total assets of the aforementioned subsidiaries were 15.98% and 26.27% of the consolidated total assets, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the operating revenues of these subsidiaries were 10.44% and 5.63% of the consolidated total operating revenue, respectively.

The financial statements of some investee companies accounted for using the equity method were audited by other auditors. The amounts within the consolidated financial statements for those investee companies were based solely on the reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the aforementioned investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$114,284 thousand and NT$32,650 thousand, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there was a gain of NT$7,541 thousand and a loss of NT$(5,944) thousand, respectively, from the aforesaid investments accounted for using the equity method.

  • 32 -

Some subsidiaries included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements, which we have not audited but were audited by other auditors in accordance with different auditing standards, are based on a framework different from the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We have performed compulsory audit procedures and have made adjustments to the other financial statements for them to conform with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. The consolidated financial statement amounts for the aforementioned subsidiaries were based on the reports of other auditors and the results of additional audit procedures performed in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China.

We have performed compulsory audit procedures and have made adjustments to the other financial statements for them to conform with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. The consolidated financial statement amounts for the aforementioned investee companies were based on the reports of other auditors and the results of additional audit procedures performed in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China.

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 the 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.

  • 33 -

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in 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 auditing standards generally accepted in 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 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 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, 2018

  • 34 -

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 Yi-Hsin Kao and Yu-Feng Huang.

After the merger, URE integrated business operations from silicon wafers, batteries, modules to systems and combined the advantages and skilled technologies from the original companies to achieve comprehensive effect resulted from the vertical integration. After the merger, the surviving company will become a solar power company with the most complete vertical integration in the country and will transform its business operations from the original battery production to industrial developments with high added values, such as power plants, modules and energy storages.

After established, URE developed a Taiwanese high-end module brand by expanding production capabilities of its own modules, creating export ports, developing brand-new business

  • 57 -

models, creating high-end products with technical advantages accumulated in the past and developing next-generation technology of solar cell modules to create technological barriers. The company will also extend its business scope to the downstream of solar energy industry in accordance with the objective set by the government of Taiwan to accumulated installations of 20GW in 2025, expand domestic development of solar power system and promote the developments to large oversea power plant system with accumulated experiences in the country. The company supplied domestic demand market in Taiwan and used oversea production base to reduce the impact resulted from anti-dumping and countervailing duties in order to open up global market so that the dependency to single zone can be reduced and the operational risks can be dispersed.

  • III. The Content of the Plan for Conducting Private Placement by Ordinary Shares

URE proposed to conduct private placement by issuing ordinary shares within the ceiling amount of 250,000 thousand shares in one or multiple times (no more than two) to expand its business scale, supply business funds or other fund demands in response to future development of the company. The basis for establishing the subscription price in the private placement case is the following: the price shall not be lower than (1) the lower price among the simple average closing prices of the ordinary shares of the surviving company for 1, 3, or 5 business days before the price determination date (after adjustment for any distribution of stock dividends, cash dividends or capital reduction), or (2) the simple average closing price of the ordinary shares of the surviving company for 30 business days before the price determination date (after adjustment for any distribution of stock dividends, cash dividends, or capital reduction); and 80% of the higher calculated price between the two standard ones (referred to as the reference price hereunder) will be used.

  • IV. Assessment Opinion on the Necessity and Reasonableness for Conducting Private Placement

  • Explanations on the necessity for conducting a private placement by issuing ordinary shares

URE integrated the resources and skilled technologies from the three companies, Neo Solar Power, Gintech Energy and Solartech Energy, optimized its equipment and reduced costs to achieve comprehensive effect of the vertical integration from silicon wafers, batteries, modules to systems. After the merger, the surviving company will become a solar power company with the most complete vertical integration in the country. Plans considered for each kind of product business are as follows: for silicon wafers, the company will continue to produce and sell silica brick to maintain stable profits and use half of the production capabilities for the vertical integration; for batteries, the advantages from the three parties will be integrated through optimization of equipment and reduction of costs to enhance the yield of batteries and the competitiveness of the company; for modules, the surviving company will go towards branding after the merger to enhance added values of the company and provide more complete services to clients in Taiwan and around the world; for systems, the company will continue to expand its configurations in Taiwan and around the world under current basis to increase the source of stable profit.

Government of Taiwan has been actively promoting renewable energies in recent years to achieve the goal of “nuclear-free homeland” and has established the plan of reaching an accumulated cumulative installation of 20GW solar panels in 2025. In addition, a two-year plan

  • 58 -

for reaching the goal of installing 1.52GW solar panels in 2016 has been launched. Installations of solar panels in Taiwan till 2018 has reached 13.7% of such installation volume. According to the two-year plan for solar power made by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, 1320MW roof-top type and 70MW floor-type, with total installation volume of 1.39GW, have been completed before the end of June 2018, however, there is room for growth. Thus, business operators in Taiwan can promote the industrial development more effectively with their technologies and perfect geographical locations to face the rise of new markets in the future and the awakening of consciousness of installing solar panels in the country.

By adopting private placement, fund-raising can be conducted simply and rapidly, interest expenditures can be saved to avoid dependencies on loans from financial institutes and flexible application space of the funds can be enhanced. Hence, it is necessary for URE to conduct capital increase in cash from private placement by issuing ordinary shares in order to raise funds.

  1. Explanations on the reasonableness for conducting a private placement by issuing ordinary shares

For the reasonableness of expected effectiveness, it is required to import funds for the expansion of business scale, supply business funds or other fund demands in response to future development of the company in order for the company to pursue breakthrough on its business operations, enhance its income and create profits for the company. The properties of private placement, which are simple and rapid, have been taken into considerations for the benefit of achieving the purpose of importing the subscribers for future operations of the company. With the regulation of not allowing free transfer within three years for private placement of securities, long-term collaboration relationships between the company and the subscribers can be ensured though risks of trade liquidity in private placement of securities shall be taken into considerations. Hence, compensation charge with liquidity in appropriate ratio was given in accordance with the law. It is reasonable to establish the issuance price of ordinary shares for conducting private placement as not lower than 80% of the reference prices. In addition, the mobility and flexibility of fund-raising for the company can be enhanced effectively through the authorization to board of directors for conducting private placements based on actual demands in business operations. If banks loans were adopted to support fund-raising, then dept ratios will be enhanced and interest expenses will be increased, causing financial risks to be enhanced further. Moreover, it can be predicted that bank loans will increase financial burdens of the company as the interest rates increased gradually in the future. Thus, by adopting private placement to raise funds, the company can obtain stable long-term funds and improve its financial structure. Hence, it is reasonable for the company to conduct a private placement of securities.

The selection of parties for the subscription is in accordance with the qualification criteria in Article 43-6 of Securities and Exchange Act and relevant letters and is limited to the subscribers who knew company’s business relatively well and are beneficial to future operations of the company.

Concluding all of the above, it is reasonable for URE to conduct private placements in order to raise funds by considering the usage of the funds, expected effectiveness, fund-raising parties and the criteria for establishing subscription price in the private placement case.

  • 59 -

  • V. Conclusion for the evaluated opinion

Concluding the above, a primary consideration for selecting the subscribers in the proposal of URE to issue ordinary shares through private placement shall be whether they can be of direct or indirect benefits to future business operation of the company. Furthermore, they shall be selected from the specific people that satisfied the regulations from competent agencies. Hence, not only the funds required for future business development can be raised, but also the competitiveness of the company and business performance can be enhanced with the experiences, technologies or knowledge of the subscribers. It also has positive benefits to shareholders’ equity by considering the timeliness of fund-raising and stable cooperation relationship of long-term shareholding. Hence, it is necessary and reasonable for the company to conduct the private placement case.

The securities underwriter thinks that it is necessary and reasonable for the company to conduct the private placement case resolved in the resolution during the board of directors’ meeting held on May 6, 2019 (The private placement case shall be conducted formally after being ratified by resolution in shareholders’ meeting on June 17, 2019) in accordance with the regulations in “Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities”.
