(1)    Diversity and Independence of the Board of Directors：

A. Board Diversity

(A)    Board diversity policy：

The Company has established Board function enhancement guidelines in accordance with Article 20 of the

“Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles”, stating that Board composition should consider 

diversity. In addition to limiting the number of directors concurrently serving as Company managers to 

one-third of total board seats, appropriate diversity policies should be adopted based on operational 

characteristics and development needs, and may include but are not limited to the following two categories:

a.       Basic requirements and values: Gender, age, nationality, and culture.

b.       Professional knowledge and skills: background in law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing, or 

technology; professional capabilities; and industry experience.

Board members shall generally possess the knowledge, skills, and qualities necessary for performing 

their duties. To achieve optimal corporate governance, the Board as a whole should possess 

the following capabilities:

1.       The ability to make judgments about operations.

2.       Accounting and financial analysis ability.

3.       Business management ability.

4.       Crisis management ability.

5.       Knowledge of the industry.

6.       An international market perspective.

7.       Leadership ability.

8.       Decision-making ability.

9.       Risk management knowledge and capabilities.

(B)    Concrete management objectives for Board member diversity:

The Company’s Board of Directors shall guide corporate strategy, supervise the management team, and

be accountable to the Company and its shareholders. All operations and arrangements under 

the corporate governance system shall ensure that the Board exercises its authority in accordance with

laws, the Articles of Incorporation, or resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting. The specific management

objectives are as follows:

a.     The Company's Board of Directors prioritizes gender equality in its composition. While the industry currently has only 

one female director, the Company will prioritize female candidates in future director nominations and actively seek 

experienced female professionals to join the board, with a goal of increasing female representation to one-third (33%) 

or more.

b.     The Board emphasizes competencies in operational judgment, business management, and 

crisis handling, with more than two-thirds of directors possessing such core competencies.

c.       Independent directors shall not serve more than three terms to maintain independence.

d.       The number of directors concurrently serving as employees of the Company, its parent, subsidiaries, 

or affiliates shall not exceed one-third of total board seats.

(C)    Achievement of Board member diversity:

a.       Currently, male directors account for 89% (eight members), and female directors account for 

11% (one member). The Company will strive to increase the number of female directors in the future to 

achieve this goal.

b.       Board members have extensive experience in business management and relevant professional 

backgrounds, and possess the knowledge, skills, and qualities required to perform their duties. In the nine 

core competencies, at least one-third of members hold related qualifications. Over 70% of members 

possess capabilities in the three key areas prioritized by the Company: operational judgment, business 

management, and crisis handling.

c.      The Company’s three independent directors have each served fewer than three terms, thereby maintaining 

independence.

d.       Directors concurrently holding employee positions account for 44.44% of the board. Directors with

employee status in the Company, its parent, subsidiaries, or affiliates also account for 44.44%. 

The Company will strive to reduce this proportion in the future to meet the target.

e.       The Company's board members possess the necessary knowledge, skills, qualifications, 

and capabilities for industry decision-making and management. The Company also continuously 

arranges diverse continuing education courses for board members in order to improve their decision 

making quality, to fulfill supervisory responsibilities and to further enhance the functions of the board.

B.      Board Independence

(A) Board structure

　　The Company has established a director election system, and the procedures for nominating and 

electing all directors are open and fair, in compliance with the Company’s “Articles of Incorporation”, 

“Rules for Election of Directors”, and “Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles”, as well as the 

“Regulations Governing Appointment of Independent Directors and Compliance Matters for Public 

Companies” and “Article 14-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act”. The Company’s current Board of 

Directors consists of nine members, including three independent directors (33%) and six 

non-independent directors (67%). Four of the directors are related within the second degree of kinship, 

representing less than half of the Board, which is in accordance with Paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 26-3 

of the Securities and Exchange Act.

(B) Functioning of Board of Directors

　　The Company's Board of Directors provides guidance on corporate strategy, supervises management, and is 

responsible to the Company and its shareholders. The Board exercises its powers and functions in accordance with 

the law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, and shareholder resolutions in all operations and arrangements 

related to corporate governance. The Company's Board of Directors emphasizes independent operation and 

transparency, and all directors, including independent directors, are independent individuals who exercise their 

powers independently. The three independent directors comply with applicable laws and regulations and, leveraging 

the authority of the Audit Committee, assessed the Company’s existing and potential risks. Based on this assessment, 

they effectively oversaw the implementation of internal controls, the selection and dismissal of certified public 

accountants, their independence, and the appropriate preparation of financial statements. In addition, the Company's 

"Rules of Election of Directors" stipulate that directors and independent directors are elected using a cumulative voting

 system and a candidate nomination system, encouraging shareholder participation. Shareholders holding a certain 

number of shares may submit candidate lists, and candidate qualifications are reviewed and verified to ensure 

compliance with the provisions of Article 30 of the Company Act. All relevant processing and announcements are 

conducted in accordance with the law to protect shareholder rights, prevent the monopolization or undue exercise 

of nomination rights, and maintain independence.
