According to Article 20, Section 4 of our company’s “Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles,” in order to achieve the ideal goal of corporate governance, the overall capabilities that the board of directors should possess are as follows:

1. Operational judgment capability.
2. Accounting and financial analysis capability.
3. Management capability.
4. Crisis management capability.
5. Industry knowledge.
6. International market perspective.

To ensure that the board of directors achieves the above objectives and enhances efficiency, our company has established a policy of diversified board composition. According to Article 20, Section 3 of the “Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles,” the composition of the board of directors should consider diversification and formulate appropriate diversification policies based on its own operations, business types, and development needs. This should include, but not limited to, the following two major aspects of criteria:

1. Basic conditions and values: Gender, age, nationality, and culture.
2. Professional knowledge and skills: Professional backgrounds (such as legal, accounting, industry, finance, marketing, or technology), professional skills, and industry experience.

Our board of directors consists of 7 directors with different professional backgrounds. The current composition of the board of directors is as follows: 3 directors (42.9%) and 4 independent directors (57.1%). Among them, there is 1 female director (14.3%) and 2 directors (28.6%) serving in employee/managerial positions, not exceeding one-third of the total number of directors. The tenure of independent directors is all below 3 years. The ages of the directors are as follows: 1 director aged 41-50, 1 director aged 51-60, 4 directors aged 61-70, and 1 director aged 71-80. In addition, all board members are professionals with diverse backgrounds, sufficient professional knowledge, experience, outstanding insights, and high ethical standards. Our company places great importance on the independence of board members. In addition to increasing the number of independent directors, we also adhere to relevant regulations to assess and evaluate the independence of independent directors. Therefore, all directors of our company are professionals with rich industry experience, highly reputable scholars, and individuals with outstanding performance in other professional fields.
