Diversity and independence of the Board of Directors

• The nomination and election of the Board of Director' members is pursuant to the regulations of the Articles of Incorporation, which adopts the nomination system for the evaluation of each candidate's credentials and complies with ¡§Director¡¦s Election Regulations¡¨ and ¡§Corporate Governance Principles¡¨ for the purpose of ensuring the diversity and independence of the director members.
• In order to strengthen the governance of the company and promote the solid development of the Board of Directors' composition and structure, we revise Paragraph 2 of Article 20 of the "Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles" in 2021 concerning "Diversified Policy of the Board of Directors' Members", which indicates: the composition of the Board of Directors should take into consideration the company's type of operation and the business development needs, and further evaluate a variety of diversified aspects, for example, basic composition (e.g. gender, nationality, age, etc.), expertise and skills (e.g.accounting, law, industry, finance, etc.) Our current Board of Directors is composed of seven directors, including four directors and three independent directors. They have ample experience and professionalism in such areas as industry knowledge, operation judgment, international market, finance & accounting, tax,commerce and management, etc. The company has a policy of diversification of operations. The target ratio of board members is more than 70% based on industry experience and financial, taxation and accounting. At present, 7 directors have the above experience and 6 directors, with a ratio of 86%. The proportion of directors with employee status is 14%, the independent directors for 43%. The age of 2 directors is over 70, 3 between 60 ~69 and 2 below 60.
