INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Winbond Electronics Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Winbond Electronics Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. Certain long-term investments were accounted for under the equity method based on financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 of the investees, which were audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to such investments, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The investments in such investees amounted to zero as of December 31, 2011; investment loss amounted to NT$1,341 thousand for the year then ended.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

shareholder shall be limited to not more than 300 words, and any proposal containing more than 300 words shall not be included in the agenda of the shareholders meeting. The "300 words" includes the reasons and punctuation marks. If any of the circumstances listed in Paragraph 4 of Article 172-1 of the Company Act occurs to the proposal submitted by any shareholder, the Board of Directors of the Company may ignore that proposal.

The Company shall announce the acceptance of shareholders' proposal, the place and the period for shareholders to submit proposals to be discussed at the shareholders meeting prior to the commencement of the close period for share transfer. The period for accepting such proposals shall not be less than 10 days.

Shareholders submit proposals to be discussed at the shareholders meeting shall attend the shareholders meeting in person or by proxy, and participate in discussion of those proposals.

The Company shall, prior to the delivery of the convention notice, notify all the shareholders who had submitted the proposals of the proposal screening results, and shall incorporate in the convention notice the proposals conforming to the requirements set out in this article. With regard to the proposals submitted by shareholders but not included in the agenda of the shareholders meeting, the Board of Directors shall explain reasons why such proposals are not included in the agenda of the shareholders meeting.

Article 4

Prior to any shareholders meeting, a shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend the meeting by issuing a power of attorney in the form provided by the Company stating the scope of authorization. Each shareholder may issue one power of attorney only, and may appoint one person only to serve as a proxy. The written proxy must be delivered to the Company at least five days prior to each shareholders meeting. If two or more written proxies forms are received from a shareholder, the first one received by the Company shall prevail; unless an explicit statement to revoke the previous written proxy is made in the proxy which comes later.

for the said shareholder shall prevail.

If the Company allows its shareholders to exercise their voting rights in writing or by way of electronic transmission, the Company shall finish the counting and verification of the votes cast in writing or by way of electronic transmission before the shareholders meeting.

If the Company allows its shareholders to exercise their voting rights in writing or by way of electronic transmission, the Company shall compile the number of votes cast in writing or by way of electronic transmission and prepare a statement of information and disclose such statement of information in explicit way at the place of the shareholders meeting.

without the resolution of the shareholders meeting.

The chairman shall determine the sequence of shareholders' speeches.

If any shareholder present at the meeting submits a speech note but does not speak, no speech should be deemed to have been made by the shareholder. In case the contents of the speech of a shareholder are inconsistent with the contents of the speech note submitted by such shareholder, the contents of the actual speech shall prevail. The proxy’s speech shall be complied with the written proxy, documents of public solicitation and advertisement. Unless otherwise provided by laws and regulations, the shareholders appointing a proxy to attend the shareholders meeting shall agree with any speeches and voting made by the proxy in the shareholders meeting.

The voting right of shareholders shall be calculated according to the voting right that shareholders may exercise in accordance with the Company Act or the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.

A motion may be resolve by way of vote, or shall be deemed passed if no objection to the motion is expressed by all of the shareholders present at the meeting after the solicitation of the chairman, which shall have the same effect as if it was voted by casting ballots. If there shall be an amendment or alternative to one motion, the chairman shall combine the amendment or alternative with the original motion to determine their orders for resolution. In addition, if the proposal submitted by shareholders according to Article 3 of these Rules is conflicting or amending or substituting against the proposal of the Board of Directors, the chairman shall combine the proposal of shareholders with that of the Board of Directors to decide the order for resolution. If any one of the above shall be passed, the others shall be deemed as rejected, upon which no further resolution shall be required.
