Appendix 1
YFY Inc.
Business Report
From the beginning of 2020, the novel coronavirus pandemic has disrupted the entire world, and many countries have adopted large-scale border closings, causing massive damage to the global economy. Although some countries have gradually began to restart economic activities in May, many factors have led to a sharp decline in the global economy, such as the intensification of trade wars, the political instability in the US election, and the second wave of the pandemic. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the growth rate in global GDP in 2020 will be -3.5%. However, Taiwan and Mainland China have controlled the pandemic, allowing them to be some of the few countries who have maintained positive economic growth. According to the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics, Taiwan's GDP growth rate in 2020 is 3.11%; The IMF estimates that Mainland China's GDP growth rate in 2020 will be 2.3%.
In the face of this grim economic environment, YFY Inc.'s management team, with their ethos of professionalism, abilities to identify risks, strengthens asset allocation, and strives to operate various businesses successfully grasped the business opportunities and achieved good results during the pandemic. Looking forward to 2021, it is expected that the pandemic will continually to spread, and international conflicts will hardly be eased. However, under the significant impact of the pandemic to the world during 2020, the creation of the vaccine has brought some light of hope. Agencies expect a sharp rebound in local economies. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts a global economic growth rate of 5.5% for 2021, while that of Mainland China is projected at 8.1%. The Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics has forecast Taiwan's economic growth at 4.64%.
In 2021, the management team will continue to grasp opportunities and strive for steady growth. In addition to the continued advancement in the established direction, the management team will enhance data digitalization and initiate the smart transformation strategy of YFY Inc.
- Implementation of circular economy
10
The Forest Pulp and Paper business group and the Containerboard and Packaging business group has continued to implement circular economy. The Xinwu containerboard plant will officially start the first industrial zero-coal SRF boiler in Taiwan in the first quarter of 2021. In addition to reducing the burning of coal, this will also convert production residue in the factory into energy, meaning that there are more opportunities to assist other industries in processing solid recovered fuels (SRF). The Yangzhou containerboard plant and Hualien Plant of Chung Hwa Pulp Corp. has continued to invest in process improvement with high environmental protection standards; Shin Foong Specialty and Applied Materials plans to purchase land in Pingtung to build a green factory, and a green dormitory, and an employee cafeteria in the original Pingtung plant that will recycle, purify, and reuse drain water. YFY Inc. will continue to urge all businesses to move towards the environmental goals of "zero waste" and "net zero carbon emissions.” It is hoped that the successful experiences of YFY Inc.'s "circular economy" will be used to lead Taiwan's circular economy to the world stage.
2. Diversified investment
YFY Inc. has been formally restructured into investment control company in 2012, and its business model has also been transformed into incubating investment. After each business has grown maturely, it will recover funds from the capital market through a public listing for the next round of investment. Thus far, TaiGen-KY (4157) and Shin Foong (6582) have been listed; The consumer products subsidiary-YFYCPG (6790) also registered as an emerging stock in October 2020, and is expected to apply for listing in 2021. Arizon RFID Technology Co., Ltd. submitted an application to the Shanghai Stock Exchange for listing in June 2020, and the case is now waiting to be reviewed. The Containerboard and Packaging business group is currently optimizing investment structure and it is expected that in the future, the Taiwan (YFY Packaging Inc.) and Vietnam entities will apply for listing. In coordination with YFY Packaging's listing plan, the Company will release shares before its application for listing. The share release will give priority to the shareholders listed in the shareholder list on the Company's 2021 ex-dividend book closure date.
3. Continued innovation
The Forest Pulp and Paper business group continues to advance in the field of non-plastic environmental protection, and to cooperate with Sustainable Carbonhydrate
11
Innovation Co., Ltd. in developing bio-based materials and food safety packaging paper. It plans to open a non-plastic material development base in Taoyuan's Guanyin district in 2021. The consumer products subsidiary launched the Orange House Five-in-One Laundry Detergent Pod product, which is the world's first zero-water-added laundry detergent pods. In 2021, we will make every effort to seize opportunities in the fast-growing laundry detergent pod business.
4. Making operations data-based, and making data platform-based
YFY Inc.'s subsidiary Fidelis IT Solutions Co., Ltd., combined the Forest Pulp and Paper business group and the Containerboard and Packaging business group to develop supply-chain financial credibility services. We expect to integrate suppliers, distributors and financial institutions through a supply-chain collaboration platform. All transaction processes from raw material procurement, orders, shipments, and establishment of accounts receivable management are retained and verified on the collaborative platform, which can shorten the time for financial institutions to review documents for financing and supplier loans for accounts receivable management, as well as to increase the commercial value and benefits of data and information.
5. Asset activation
With the approval of the board of directors, YFY Capital Co., Ltd. and YFY Venture Capital Investment Co., Ltd. have merged into YFY Development Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as: YFY Development). In addition to the existing capital and financing related businesses, YFY Venture Capital Investment Co., Ltd. has merged YFY's existing land development team, which will serve as the initial force for the activation of YFY Inc.'s assets. In the initial stage, it will start with relatively mature and low capital investment development projects, followed by gradually taking assessment of relevant resources and launching an action plan, which is expected to create continuous returns on investment for YFY in the future.
After strategic adjustments and operational improvements in the past few years, YFY Inc. has demonstrated investment and operational efficiency in the extremely challenging year of 2020. In 2021, we will continue to focus on effective asset allocation and to attract foreign investments, partners, and alliances. While looking to the future with forward-looking innovation, we will integrate resources with professionalism, steadily
12
moving forward to a century-old enterprise, and continue to create reasonable investment value for shareholders.
(Note: The statistics for Taiwan's economic growth rate are those reported by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics, Executive Yuan. And remaining data is from the IMF's January 2021 estimates for other regions.)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders YFY Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of YFY Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 Other Matter section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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. 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, 2020. 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.
29
Key audit matters of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:
Estimation of Expected Credit Loss Recognized on Accounts Receivable
The accounts receivable of the Group’s significant components are material in amount. In consideration of transactions with various counterparties, the recoverability of accounts receivable is subject to not only each customer’s financial condition but also management’s estimation and judgment. Therefore, we identified the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable as a key audit matter.
For related policies and relevant information on the estimation of expected credit loss of accounts receivable, refer to Notes 4, 5 and 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The key audit procedures that we performed in respect of the expected credit loss on accounts receivable included the following:
-
We obtained and assessed the reasonableness of the method and the information used by management for the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable.
-
We tested sample items in the aging report on the balance sheet date and verified the correctness of the calculation of the expected credit loss.
-
We analyzed overdue receivables and performed sampling on the collection of overdue receivables after the balance sheet date. We assessed the reasonableness of the expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable based on customers’ historical payment records, credit line control and overdue receivables tracking.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 of Fidelis IT Solutions Co., Ltd., Sustainable Carbohydrate Innovation Co., Ltd., YFY Biotech Management Company, Livebricks Inc., Jupiter Prestige Group Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries, and the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 of Lotus Ecoscings & Engineering Co., Ltd., Syntax Communication (H.K.) Ltd., Ever Growing Agriculture Biotech Co., Ltd., the subsidiaries of Willpower Industries Ltd., the subsidiaries of Winsong Packaging Investment Company Limited, which are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group, but such financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for these subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the assets of these subsidiaries were NT$741,272 thousand and NT$6,716,882 thousand, respectively, representing 0.6% and 5.5% of the total consolidated assets. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the net sales of these subsidiaries were NT$618,368 thousand and NT$6,657,616 thousand, respectively, representing 0.8% and 8.9% of the consolidated net sales. In addition, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the financial statements of Taiwan Genome Sciences, Inc. and Perpetual Prosperity Printing Technology Co., Ltd., an investment accounted for using the equity method, were audited by other auditors. Thus, our opinion, insofar as it relates to the calculation of the Group’s share in these
30
investees’ profit or loss and other comprehensive income, is based solely on the report of other auditors. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying amounts of these investees were NT$13,397 thousand and NT$112,618 thousand, respectively. These investees’ net profit or loss were included in the Group’s total comprehensive income and loss for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 which were a loss of NT$1,029 thousand and a loss of NT$36,103 thousand, respectively.
We have also audited the financial statements of YFY Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion, including an Other Matter paragraph, respectively.
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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
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:
31
-
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.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
32
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, 2020 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 Hui-Min Huang and Ya-Ling Wong.

The Valuation of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method
Under the investments accounted for using the equity method, the financial position and performance of some significant components of the Company will significantly affect the Company. The accounts receivable of significant components of the Company are material in amount. In consideration of transactions with various counterparties, the recoverability of accounts receivable is subject to not only each customer’s financial condition but also management’s estimation and judgment. Therefore, the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable has been identified as a key audit matter.
For related policies and relevant information about investments accounted for using the equity method, refer to Notes 4 and 9 to the accompanying financial statements.
The key audit procedures that we performed in respect of the valuation of investments accounted for using the equity method included the following:

We obtained and assessed the reasonableness of the method and the information used by management for the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on accounts receivable.
-
We tested sample items in the aging report on the balance sheet date and verified the correctness of the calculation of the expected credit loss.

We analyzed overdue receivables and performed sampling on the collection of overdue receivables after the balance sheet date.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the long-term equity investments of these investee companies were NT$487,116 thousand and NT$2,498,563 thousand, respectively, representing 0.7% and 3.9%, respectively, of the Company’s total assets. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the net investment income of these investee companies were NT$4,730 thousand and NT$417,930 thousand, respectively, representing 0.1% and 8.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total comprehensive income and loss.

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.

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.

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.

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.

-
Article 7. Shareholders meetings that are convened by the Chairman shall be chaired by the Chairman. If the Chairman is unable to perform such duties due to a leave of absence or any other reasons, the Chairman may appoint one of the directors to act on the Chairman's behalf.

The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the attendance book and sign-in cards handed in plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronically.
-
The chairperson shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time. However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chairperson may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than 1 hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chairperson shall declare the meeting adjourned.
If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding paragraph, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to Article 175, paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders meeting shall be convened within 1 month.
-

The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders' meeting. However, extraordinary motions should be proposed within the scope permitted by law, within the time limit when the chairperson puts the matter before all shareholders present at the meeting, and can only be included in the agenda after receiving approval from the attending shareholders in accordance with legal procedures.
-
The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the board of directors.
-
Unless by the resolution of the shareholders' meeting, the chairperson may not declare the meeting ended until all items on the agenda (including extraordinary motions) arranged in the preceding two paragraphs have been completed. The shareholders cannot designate any other person as chairperson and continue the meeting in the same or another place after the meeting is adjourned. If the chairperson declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, the other members of the board of directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chairperson in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes
63
represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
The chairperson 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 chairperson is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chairperson may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and arrange an adequate voting time.
- Article 11. Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify the subject of the speech from the speaker's slip, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and the account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chairperson. A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail. Except with the consent of the chairperson, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chairperson may terminate the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chairperson and the shareholder that has the floor; the chairperson shall stop any violation.
When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal.
After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chairperson may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
-
Article 12. Voting at a shareholders meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares.
-
With respect to resolutions of shareholders meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of this Corporation, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
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. A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of
64
the Company Act.
When the Corporation holds a shareholders meeting, it may allow the shareholders to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means. The method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. Shareholders exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person. However, shareholders will be deemed to have waived their rights with respect to extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting.
A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Corporation two business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.
After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders meeting in person, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to this Corporation, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before 2 business days before the date of the shareholders meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chairperson or a person designated by the chairperson shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chairperson shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chairperson, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of this Corporation.
Vote counting for shareholders meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.
Article 14. The election of directors at a shareholders meeting shall be held in accordance with the
65
applicable election and appointment rules adopted by this Corporation, and the voting results shall be announced on-site immediately, including the names of those elected directors and the number of votes which they were elected.
The ballots for the election referred from the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least 1 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. Matters relating to the resolutions of a shareholders meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes. The meeting minutes shall be signed or sealed by the chairperson of the meeting and a copy distributed to each shareholder within 20 days after the conclusion of the meeting. The meeting minutes may be produced and distributed in electronic form.
-
This Corporation may distribute the meeting minutes of the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made through the MOPS.
The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and place of the meeting, the chairperson's full name, the methods by which resolutions were adopted, and a summary of the deliberations and their results (including statistical weights). When directors are elected, the number of votes for each candidate should be disclosed. The minutes shall be kept permanently throughout the life of the Corporation.
-
Article 16. On the day of a shareholders meeting, this Corporation shall compile the statistical statement in a prescribed format of the number of shares obtained by solicitors through solicitation and the number of shares represented by proxies. This Corporation shall make an express disclosure of the same indicators during 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, this Corporation shall upload the content of such resolution to the MOPS within the prescribed time period.
-
Article 17. Staff handling administrative affairs of the shareholders' meeting shall wear identification badges or arm-bands.
-
The chairperson may direct the proctors or security personnel to help maintain order at the meeting place. When proctors or security personnel help maintain order at the meeting place, they shall wear an identification card or armband bearing the word "Proctor."
At the place of a shareholders meeting, if a shareholder attempts to speak through any device other than the public address equipment set up by this Corporation, the chairperson may prevent the shareholder from so doing.
-
When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chairperson's correction, obstructing the proceedings and refusing to heed calls to stop, the chairperson may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder from the meeting.
-
Article 18. When a meeting is in progress, the chairperson may announce a break based on time considerations. If a force majeure event occurs, the chairperson may rule the meeting temporarily suspended and announce a time when, in view of the circumstances, the
66
meeting will be resumed.
If the meeting venue is no longer available for continued use and not all of the items (including extraordinary motions) on the meeting agenda have been addressed, the shareholders meeting may adopt a resolution to resume the meeting at another venue.
A resolution may be adopted at a shareholders meeting to defer or resume the meeting within 5 days in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act.
- Article 19. These Rules, and any amendments hereto, shall be implemented after adoption by shareholders meetings.
