WAN HAI LINES LTD. Business Report

I. Operating Principles

Global economic growth slowed down rapidly in 2019, due to uncertainties in global trading policies, slowdown of economic growth in emerging markets, exacerbation of global natural disasters and fluctuations in international crude oil prices. In this rapidly changing industry environment, the company continues to maintain its consistent business policy in pursuit of the goals of sustainable operations and to fulfill social responsibilities. When operating and opening up new shipping routes, the company carry out cautious and inclusive planning in advance, to promptly respond to market needs and to maintain our leading competitiveness in the industry.

At the same time all our colleagues, in the spirit of mutual help and cooperation and professional service attitude, and in line with our philosophy of “Customer First, Full Participation, Environmental Protection and Sustainable Operations”, the company implement customer services, fulfills social obligations, and reducing ship carbon emissions to protect the environment. The company strive for sustainable and steady growth so as not to let down the expectations and support of our shareholders and the society. We will continue to create good performances and investment values.

II. Operation Overview

  1. External Environment Changes

  2. (1) Economic prosperity: Economic Situation: Uncertainties in international trade increased in 2019, especially the continuation of trade conflict between the U.S.A. and China, and the trade war between Japan and South Korea, also the economic growth of emerging markets continued to slow down, therefore the future economy will be weak, however under a healthy financial structure, global trade and economy may rebound after touching bottom. The growth of global economy will take a hit as the impacts of COVID-19 continuous. According to United Nations surveys, it is predicted that in 2019, global trade will decrease to 0.3%, lower than the 3.6% of 2018; the IMF estimated that

9

the economic growth for 2019 will be 2.9%, lower than the 3.6% of 2018, and predicted the 2020 world economic growth will be 3.3%; HIS Markit estimated the 2019 world economic growth would be 2.6%, down from the 3.17% of 2018.

  • (2) Bunker Fuel price: Although due to weak demand in the second half of the year 2018, the average price of Brent crude reached 55.94 U.S.$/barrel, but in 2019, oil prices continued to rise, due to factors such as production cuts by OPEC countries, continued geopolitical risks in the Middle East and the air raid against the largest oil refinery in Saudi Arabia. The average oil price came to U.S.$64.41 per barrel.(Jet2).The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) predicted that, due to continued control of production capacity by OPEC countries and continued geopolitical risks in the Middle East, the price of crude oil in 2019 would remain at U.S.$64 per barrel (Jet 3). From 2020 onwards, only low sulfur fuel will be allowed, and so fuel cost will increase substantially for global container shipping operators, and their business profitability will be compressed.

  • (3) Charter market: Due to IMO’s restrictions regarding ship sulfur emissions in 2020, some of the ship-owners of large container ships, do not purchase low sulfur fuel, but instead, install desulphurization facilities to meet IMO regulations. A large number of ships are docked, causing demand for chartering large container ships to rise, and pushing up charter rates in the large container ship charter market. According to the statistics of Alphaliner Charter Rate Index and Freight Rate Indices, the charter rate index came to 80.4 in December, 2019, a hike of approximately 44% compared to 55.9 in December 2018. The daily charter rate for a 8,500 TEU large container ship rose from U.S.$13,000 to U.S.$30,000, the highest increase rate of 131%. Charter rates for container ships with only about 1,000TEU capacity remained unchanged as they were not affected by installation of desulphurization facilities.

  • (4) Market competition: According to Alphaliner statistics, in 2019 114 container ships were scrapped or lost globally, decreasing a total shipping space of 207,518 TEU. In 2019 global ship-owners signed contracts for building 97 new ships, with a total capacity of 783,901 TEU. As the number of existing container ships decrease only by a small amount, while orders for new ones

10

increase rapidly, and new super-large container ships built in 2019 are gradually delivered, the number of container ships globally, rose from 5,291 ships/22,337,246 TEU at the end of 2018 to 5,337 ships/23,228,497 TEU, a growth of about 4%(Jet 5). All shipping routes are continually using larger ships to decrease unit costs, e.g. ships deployed in major East-West shipping routes are now mainly ships with capacity over 10,000 TEU, Asian near-sea shipping routes are also gradually using Panamax class ships, resulting in fierce competition and over-supply of shipping spaces. It is hard to maintain profitability at the current freight rate and most shipping companies suffer deficits.

  • (5) Market Fluctuations: Due to global trade disputes and the rise of trade protectionism, the 2019 rate of economic growth was the lowest since the financial crisis. According to a prediction by HIS Markit, the U.S. economic growth for 2019 would be 2.3%, lower than the 2.93% of 2018. Economic growth in the Euro Zone continued to slow down due to the controversial no deal Brexit, it is predicted that the economic growth in 2019 would be 1.4%, lower than the 2.0% of 2018. Japan was affected by disastrous typhoons in the second half of 2019, and economic growth for the entire year would be 1.1%, slightly higher than the 0.3% of 2018. Because of continued trade conflicts between the U.S. and China, China’s economic growth for 2019 would be 6.2%, down from 6.6% for 2018. Overall, as predicted by HIS Markit, the global economic growth in 2019 was affected by constant global trade disputes, continued slow down of economic growth in emerging markets and weak global demands.

2. Countermeasures

Due to constant global trade disputed, dramatic changes in the markets, weak performance of global economy and over-supply in the shipping market, operating in the shipping market is becoming more and more difficult. In 2019, all our colleagues threw in their efforts to actively study conservation of ship fuel consumption, integrated shipping routes, optimized shipping spaces, and deployed the most suitable ships. We also implemented timely, joint operations and shipping spaces exchanging strategies with major global

11

shipping companies to lower the cost of shipping spaces. As for deployment of shipping routes, we continue to focus on near-sea shipping routes, develop moderate mid to long range shipping routes, to timely expand our scope of operations. In connection with new international laws taking effect, changing crude oil prices and overall deployment of larger ships, our company’s response is to charter ships to flexibly adjust our fleet, rapidly adjust our shipping routes, effectively raising market shares, and depending on market situations, adopt periodical cancellations and merging of scheduled voyages to flexibly adjust shipping spaces, to effectively save cost expenditures and greatly lower operation costs.

  • III. Results of Business Plan Implementation

  • Analysis of the Company’s Major Service Areas and the correspondent Markets The operations of the Company are mainly based on regular routes in full container vessels. The scope of service covers Northeast Asia, China, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, the West Coast and the West Coast of South America. The explanation for each of the regions are as follows:

(1) Northeast Asia:

The company has been expanding its presence in regions ranging from Japan, Korea, to other Asian countries for many years, and has maintained close relationships with customers and established prestige through word of mouth, thereby playing an influential role in the market. In order to boost its operating competitiveness and maintain existing service quality and reliable shipping services, the Company expanded shipping space of Japan-Singapore-Malaysia route (NS5 Service) in March to offer additional service to our customer in Northeast Asia region. The Company also adopted strategic cooperation with other shipping companies to boost the space utilization of its services and lower operating cost.

(2) Southeast Asia:

Economic activities in Southeast Asia continue to grow in 2019. Especially Vietnam and Cambodia are the most robust markets among ASEAN countries. The Company started offering new services through the launch of

12

Taiwan-South China-Philippines route (SES Service) in April to offer additional service to our customer between Taiwan, South China, and Philippines; China-Vietnam-Cambodia (CVK Service) in May to strengthen the direct service between China, Vietnam, and Cambodia and expanded shipping space; China-Korea-Indonesia (CKI Service) to offer the direct service between Korea, China, and Indonesia. Through joint venture and cooperation with other shipping companies, exchange of freight spaces and reduction of operating cost, the Company has provided a denser service network to maintain its competitiveness and market share in the Southeast Asian market.

  • (3) Middle East, India and Pakistan:

For the purpose of providing better service coverage in the Middle East, India, and Pakistan, the Company launched a new China- Middle East route (MEX Service) to strengthen the direct service from China to Middle East region. The Company continued to its joint venture and cooperation with major worldwide shipping companies in markets across in Far East-Middle East, India, and Pakistan routes and made flexible adjustments in response to market changes so as to provide more competitive routings and services in 2019.

  • (4) West South America region:

The Company maintained the direct shipping service from major Asian ports to the west coast of South America. At the same time, the Company enlarges the ship type to correspond with market and maintains flexibility in its space provision by adjusting its vessel deployment in accordance to changes in market demands. The Company also exchanges space with other shipping companies to secure additional service routes to West Coast of South America (WSA Service) and West Coast of South America 3 (WSA3 Service), thereby providing three sailings a week to the customers and ensuring the company’s competitive edge for direct shipping service to the South American market.

13

  • (5) West America region:

Although impacted by the China-US trade dispute, the US labor market has improved and demands in consumer markets were steady in 2019. The Company continues to enhance its operating performance for its Trans-Pacific route and made flexible adjustments based on the market condition to provide more competitive and advantageous routes under joint venture. In response to market demands, the Company adjusted the South China-West America route (CP1 Service) and Mid China-West America route (CP2 Service) which are under joint venture by Cosco and PIL since September. The Company also exchanged space on South China-West America route (CP3 Service), Vietnam-West America route (CP5 Service), and Mid China-West America route (CEN Service) to increase route products and meet market demands.

  1. Future Market Outlook

The growth of economy gradually slowdown in 2019 due to global trading being affected by trade war and weaken growth of economy in emerging market countries. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that the growth of global economy will take a hit as the impacts of COVID-19 continuous. In response to the challenges of expanding ship types and fleet from major shipping companies around the world, which would result in the impact of imbalance between supply and demand in cargo shipping market, Wan Hai upholds the concept of "customer first, full participation, environmental protection, sustainable management" and endeavors to conduct prudent and comprehensive planning and assessments of its operations of service routes so as to mitigate the challenges arising from rapid changes in the market. The Company also strictly control and reduce costs to improve operational efficiency and establish a stable and sustainable company brand.

IV. Revenue and Expenditure

  1. Operating revenue

The consolidated operating revenue was NT$72,951,180,000 in 2019, which was a NT$6,172,500,000 increase from NT$66,778,670,000 in 2018.

14

  1. Operating expense

  • V. Profitability Analysis

Consolidated net profit after tax in 2019 was NT$3,573,700,000, and earnings per share was NT$1.61.

VI. Research and Development Status

In order to cope with the challenge of ever-changing economic environment and intensified shipping market competitions in the future, the Company will continue monitoring the existing route planning and organizational functions. It endeavors to become a premium enterprise with international visibility and plans to adopt the following approaches:

  1. To focus on cultivation of employees with an international perspective and strengthen the ability to integrate and implement organizational management so as to provide customers with the most optimal services.

  2. To grasp the opportunity to develop emerging markets and steadily lay out plans for more routes so as to satisfy customers’ demands.

  3. To strictly control the fuel and relevant transportation cost.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

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

  1. Revenue recognition

Please refer to Note(4)(o) “ Revenue” , Note (5)(a) “ Uncertainty associated with the assumptions and estimations for revenue recognition”and Note(6)(v) “Revenue disclosures” of the financial statements.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The freight revenue is recognized in proportion to the stage of completion of the voyage measured by reference to the proportion of the actual shipping days incurred in balance sheet date. The voyage days is estimated depending on historical experience which involved high uncertainty. Consequently, this is one of the key areas our audit focused on.

16

Our principal audit procedures included:

Understanding how the management estimates the voyage days of each route including its method and source; sampling the source data from the system and obtaining the method on how the system compute the voyage days to evaluate the reasonableness of the estimated voyage days of each route from the management.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the 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 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 financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

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

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

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

17

  1. 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.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this 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 of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yi-Chun Chen and Chung-Yi Chiang.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Wan Hai Lines Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Wan Hai Lines Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the 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 Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

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

  1. Revenue recognition

Please refer to Note(4)(p) “ Revenue” , Note (5)(b) “ Uncertainty associated with the assumptions and estimations for revenue recognition” and Note(6)(v) “Revenue disclosures” of the financial statements.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The freight revenue is recognized in proportion to the stage of completion of the voyage measured by reference to the proportion of the actual shipping days incurred in balance sheet date. The voyage days is estimated depending on historical experience which involved high uncertainty. Consequently, this is one of the key areas our audit focused on.

Our principal audit procedures included:

Understanding how the management estimates the voyage days of each route including its method and source; sampling the source data from the system and obtaining the method on how the system compute the voyage days to evaluate the reasonableness of the estimated voyage days of each route from the management.

  1. Impairment of Property, plant and equipment

“ ” “ - Please refer to note(4)(l) Property, plant and equipment , note(4)(o) Impairment non -financial assets”, note(5)(a) “Impairment of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets”, and note(6)(i) “ ” Property, plant and equipment .

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The total amount of the Group’s Property, plant and equipment exceeds half of the total assets, and the vessels constituted a considerable proportion. The risk of impairment of the assets may exist due to the highly changeable industry. Consequently, this is one of the key areas our audit focused on.

Our principal audit procedures included:

Understanding the cash generating units included in the Group’s impairment test; understanding the impairment indicators in light of the performance of each asset. The indicators include internal and external factors such as the carrying value exceeding its market capitalization, significant adverse changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the entity operates, evidence of obsolescence or physical damage to the asset.

Other Matter

Wan Hai Lines Ltd. has additionally prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

24

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

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

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

25

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

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yi-Chun Chen and Chung-Yi Chiang.

The preceding paragraph also applies to meetings convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the board of directors.

The Chairman may not dismiss the meeting prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders meeting.

The Chairman shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed and call for a vote.

Article 11:

Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his or her shareholder account number, and account name. The order of the shareholders' speak will be determined by the chairman. Shareholders who submit speaker's slip without speaking are considered to have remained silent. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.

Shareholders cannot speak more than two times, for more than five minutes each, on the same proposal without consent from the Chairman. The Chairman may stop shareholders in violation of these rules, or shareholders whose comments are irrelevant to the proposal.

Shareholders cannot vote, or appoint proxies to vote, on any agendas that present conflicting interests, if doing so may compromise the Company's interests.

86

The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.

With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3 percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.

Article 13:

Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share, except for shares that are subject to voting restrictions or situations outlined in item 2 of Article 179 of the Company Act where no voting rights are granted.

When the shareholder meeting is convened, voting rights can be exercised in writing or through electronic methods. Instructions for exercising voting rights in writing or through electronic methods must be clearly stated in the notification to shareholders of the convening of the shareholders’ meeting. Shareholders who have voted in writing or through electronic methods are considered to have attended the shareholders meeting in person. However, they waive their rights to participate in any special motions or revisions to the original agendas that may arise during the shareholders meeting.

The intention to use written and electronic votes mentioned above must be delivered to the Company at least two days before the shareholders’ meeting. If there are duplicate submissions, the earlier submission takes precedence. However, exception is granted if the shareholder issues a proper declaration to withdraw the previous vote. If, after submitting a written or electronic vote, the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person, then a proper declaration of withdrawal must be issued using the same method as the original vote at least two days before the shareholders’ meeting. If the request is submitted after the deadline, the original exercise of voting rights by written or electronic vote will be counted. If the shareholder has exercised written or electronic votes, and at the same time delegated a proxy to attend the shareholders meeting, then the voting decision exercised by the proxy shall take precedence.

Votes on motions, unless otherwise specified by the Company Act or the Company's Article of Incorporation, shall be passed with the approval of over half of the attending shareholders voting rights. At the time of voting, the total number of shareholders voting rights should be announced by the Chairman or appointed personnel.

If the Chairman consults the entirety of attending shareholders without objection regarding a motion, it is considered passed. Its efficacy is the same as deciding by vote. If there are objections, the motion must be voted on by the methods described above. If there are several amendments or alternate solutions to a motion, the meeting chairman will determine the voting sequence. If any of the motions are passed, all other motions are deemed rejected and no further voting is necessary.

87

Ballot monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the Chairman, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company. Ballot counting will proceed in public at the place of the shareholders’ meeting. The results of the vote shall be documented and announced on site.

Election of directors must be conducted in accordance to the Company's relevant election procedures. The results of the election shall be announced at the shareholders’ meeting.

The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least a year.

Article 15:

The resolutions passed at the shareholders’ meeting must be compiled into meeting minutes, signed or stamped by the Chairman.

The minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and location of the meeting, the Chairman's name, the method of resolution, and the summary and results of meeting agendas. These minutes must be retained for as long as the company continues to exist. Any resolutions involving the chairman asking for objections from shareholders and receiving none in return must be remarked as "Passed without objections from any shareholders present in the meeting". If objections were raised by shareholders, then the resolution must be noted as having passed by way of voting, with details on the number of passing votes.

Article 16:

The amount of shares solicited by solicitors and represented by proxies should be noted in chart form on the day of the shareholders meeting, and shown prominently at the venue of the shareholders meeting.

If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders’ meeting constitute material information under applicable laws or regulations or under Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation regulations, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.

Article 17:

Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders’ meeting shall wear identification cards or

88

arm bands.

The Chairman may instruct picket members or security staff to help maintain order in the meeting. While maintaining order in the meeting, all picket members or security staff must wear arm bands or identification cards which identify their roles as a "picket member".

For meetings equipped with sound amplifying devices, shareholders not using sound amplifying devices prepared by the Company while speaking shall be stopped by the Chairman. The Chairman may call upon picket members or security staff to escort shareholders from the premises who are violating rules of procedure and not adhering to the Chairman's corrections, or are hampering the proceedings of the meetings who refuse to be stopped.

Article 18:

The Chairman may call the meeting into recess at a suitable time. In the occurrence of any force majeure events, the Chairman may suspend the meeting and announce the time of continuation of the meeting after examining the situation.

Governments or corporations acting as shareholders are not limited to one attending person. When a juristic person is appointed to attend as proxy, it may designate only one person to represent it in the meeting.

Article 7:

Shareholders’ meetings that are convened by the board of directors shall be chaired by the Chairman. If the Chairman is unable to perform his or her duties due to leave of absence or other reason, the Vice Chairman acts on his behalf.

If no one is appointed, the directors shall select from among themselves one person to perform the Chairman's duties.

For shareholders’ meetings convened by the board of directors, the number of participating directors who attend shall exceed one half.

If a director sits in as the chair, the director must be someone who has held the post for at least six months and is knowledgeable of the company’s financial and business situations. The same holds true if the chair is a representative of a corporate director.

Shareholders meetings convened by the directors must be attended by a majority of directors and at least one representative of the various functional committees and their attendance shall be recorded in the minutes of the meetings.

92

If the shareholder’ meeting is convened by someone other than the board of directors, the convener will act as the meeting chairman. If there are two or more conveners, they shall appoint one amongst themselves to chair the meeting.

Article 8:

The Company, beginning from the time it accepts shareholder attendance registrations, shall make an uninterrupted audio and video recording of the registration procedure, the proceedings of the Shareholders’ Meeting, and the voting and vote counting procedures, and kept for at least a year. However, if a shareholder makes a litigious claim against the Company according to Article 189 of the Company Act, the audio or video recordings must be retained until the end of litigation.

Article 9:

Attendance of shareholders’ meeting should be calculated on the basis of number of shares. The number of shares represented during the meeting is calculated based on the amount registered in the attendance log or the attendance cards collected, plus the amount of shares whose voting rights are exercised through proxy forms or electronic methods.

The Chairman should announce the commencement of the meeting as soon as it is due. However, if the number of shares held by those in attendance number less than 50 percent of all outstanding shares, the Chairman may postpone the meeting up to two times, the total time of postponement may not exceed one hour. If the number of outstanding shares represented does not exceed one third after the second postponement, the Chairman must announce the lack of quorum.

If, after two postponements, the number of shares represented still does not exceed 50 percent, but exceeds one-third of all outstanding shares, the Company may proceed according to Paragraph 1 of Article 175 of the Company Act to reach a temporary resolution with the approval of more than half of voting rights represented during the meeting. The temporary resolution must be communicated to shareholders, and a new shareholders’ meeting must be convened within a month. If the number of shares represented during the meeting reaches a total of over half of all outstanding shares, the Chairman may re-propose the temporary resolutions for final voting according to Article 174 of the Company Act.

Article 10:

If a Shareholders’ Meeting is convened by the Board of Directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the Board of Directors. Relevant proposals (including ad hoc motions and amendments to the original proposals) shall be voted on one by one. The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, and may not be modified without a resolution from the shareholders’ meeting.

93

The preceding paragraph also applies to meetings convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the board of directors.

The Chairman may not dismiss the meeting prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders meeting. If the chairman violates meeting rules and dismiss the meeting, the other directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chairman in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.

The Chairman shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; The chair shall announce the end of discussion on a proposal when he/she feels that the proposal is ready for voting, the chair shall arrange sufficient time for voting.

Article 11:

Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his or her shareholder account number (or attendance certificate number), and account name. The order of the shareholders' speak will be determined by the chairman. Shareholders who submit speaker's slip without speaking are considered to have remained silent. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.

Shareholders cannot speak more than two times, for more than five minutes each, on the same proposal without consent from the Chairman. The Chairman may stop shareholders in violation of these rules, or shareholders whose comments are irrelevant to the proposal. While a shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak to disrupt the speaker without the consent of the Chairman and the speaker. The Chairman shall restrain any violators. For corporate shareholders who have appointed two or more representatives to attend the shareholders’ meeting, only one representative may speak per agenda. When a shareholder is finished speaking, the Chairman must reply, either personally or by assigned relevant personnel.

Article 12:

Voting in the shareholders meeting is determined on the basis of shares.

Non-voting shareholders are not counted in the total number of issued shares for resolutions at the shareholders meeting.

Shareholders cannot vote, or appoint proxies to vote, on any agendas that present conflicting interests, if doing so may compromise the Company's interests.

The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.

With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent

94

securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3 percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.

Article 13:

Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share, except for shares that are subject to voting restrictions or situations outlined in item 2 of Article 179 of the Company Act where no voting rights are granted.

When the shareholder meeting is convened, voting rights can be exercised through electronic and in writing methods.. Instructions for exercising voting rights in writing or through electronic methods must be clearly stated in the notification to shareholders of the convening of the shareholders’ meeting. Shareholders who have voted in writing or through electronic methods are considered to have attended the shareholders meeting in person. However, they waive their rights to participate in any special motions or revisions to the original agendas that may arise during the shareholders meeting. Therefore the Company shall avoid making ad hoc motions and amendments to the original proposals.

The intention to use written and electronic votes mentioned above must be delivered to the Company at least two days before the shareholders’ meeting. If there are duplicate submissions, the earlier submission takes precedence. However, exception is granted if the shareholder issues a proper declaration to withdraw the previous vote. If, after submitting a written or electronic vote, the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person, then a proper declaration of withdrawal must be issued using the same method as the original vote at least two days before the shareholders’ meeting. If the request is submitted after the deadline, the original exercise of voting rights by written or electronic vote will be counted. If the shareholder has exercised written or electronic votes, and at the same time delegated a proxy to attend the shareholders meeting, then the voting decision exercised by the proxy shall take precedence.

Votes on motions, unless otherwise specified by the Company Act or the Company's Article of Incorporation, shall be passed with the approval of over half of the attending shareholders voting rights. When voting, shareholders shall vote on each proposal after the chair or a person designated by the chair announced the total voting rights of shareholders attending the meeting. The Company shall also, on the same day post the results of affirmative, negative and abstained votes on the Market Observation Post System.

If the Chairman consults the entirety of attending shareholders without objection regarding a motion, it is considered passed. Its efficacy is the same as deciding by vote. If there are objections, the motion must be voted on by the methods described above. If there are several amendments or

95

alternate solutions to a motion, the meeting chairman will determine the voting sequence. If any of the motions are passed, all other motions are deemed rejected and no further voting is necessary. Ballot monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the Chairman, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company. Ballot counting will proceed in public at the place of the shareholders’ meeting. The results of the vote shall be documented and announced on site.

Article 14:

Election of directors must be conducted in accordance to the Company's relevant election procedures. The results of the election shall be announced at the shareholders’ meeting, including the calculated number of voting rights.

The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least a year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.

Article 15:

The resolutions passed at the shareholders’ meeting must be compiled into meeting minutes, signed or stamped by the Chairman. The meeting minutes must be delivered to all shareholders within twenty days of the meeting. The preparation and distribution of meeting minutes may be done by electronic methods.

The Company for distribution of the meeting minutes must be entered as an announcement into a Market Observation Post System.

The minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and location of the meeting, the Chairman's name, the method of resolution, and the summary and results of meeting agendas, including the number of voting rights calculated. If there is an election for directors, the number of voting rights of each candidate shall be disclosed. These minutes must be retained for as long as the company continues to exist.

Any resolutions involving the chairman asking for objections from shareholders and receiving none in return must be remarked as "Passed without objections from any shareholders present in the meeting". If objections were raised by shareholders, then the resolution must be noted as having passed by way of voting, with details on the number of passing votes.

Article 16:

The amount of shares solicited by solicitors and represented by proxies should be noted in chart form on the day of the shareholders meeting, and shown prominently at the venue of the shareholders meeting.

If matters put to a resolution at a shareholders’ meeting constitute material information under

96

applicable laws or regulations or under Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation regulations, the Company shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.

Article 17:

Staff handling administrative affairs of a shareholders’ meeting shall wear identification cards or arm bands.

The Chairman may instruct picket members or security staff to help maintain order in the meeting. While maintaining order in the meeting, all picket members or security staff must wear arm bands or identification cards which identify their roles as a "picket member".

For meetings equipped with sound amplifying devices, shareholders not using sound amplifying devices prepared by the Company while speaking shall be stopped by the Chairman. The Chairman may call upon picket members or security staff to escort shareholders from the premises who are violating rules of procedure and not adhering to the Chairman's corrections, or are hampering the proceedings of the meetings who refuse to be stopped.

Article 18:

The Chairman may call the meeting into recess at a suitable time. In the occurrence of any force majeure events, the Chairman may suspend the meeting and announce the time of continuation of the meeting after examining the situation.

According to Article 182 of the Company Act, the board of directors may postpone a meeting for not more than five days, or to reconvene the meeting within five days.
