Discussion Items

Item 1 (Proposed by the Board of Directors)

  • Proposal: Sold Kaohsiung K13 factory building to Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.

  • Explanation: 1. The K13 factory building was originally leased jointly by the Company and Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as ASE) from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Export Processing Zone Administration (now renamed as the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Organization Act of the Bureau of Industrial Parks, hereinafter referred to as the Bureau of Industrial Parks). The lease was for land located at No. 685, Heping 2nd Subsection, Nanzi District. In accordance with the Bureau of Industrial Parks' regulations, the two parties jointly applied for construction of the factory building on this land. In June 2020, the two parties signed a cooperation development agreement. This agreement stipulated that, to shorten the construction period, ASE would transfer its original leased land (53% of No. 685) to the Company (the Company originally leased 47% of No. 685, increasing to 100% after the transfer). The Company would then apply for construction independently. The agreement also stipulated that upon completion of the building, if ASE or its related companies wished to exercise their right of first purchase, the two parties would deduct 3.33% from the total sales price as the transaction price. The building has now been completed and obtained a usage permit on June 19, 2024, and a building ownership certificate on July 23, 2024.

  • ASE proposed to purchase the K13 building from the Company to meet its business needs. Following the purchase, the building will be renamed as the K18 factory building. After consulting with Savills Taiwan and Cushman & Wakefield the appraised values were NT$5,510,500,000 (excluding tax) and NT$5,377,686,626 (excluding tax), respectively. Following negotiations between the finance departments of both parties, it was recommended to use the average of the two appraised values as the basis for the transaction price. In accordance with Article 4, Clause 4 of the Cooperation Development Agreement signed by both parties in June 2020, ASE along with its affiliated company has the priority to purchase the building after its completion. Considering ASE's investment in the leased land since 2003, including original investment, compensation for land development costs, payment of

3

consideration for land exchange with third parties, and transfer of the value of the leased land rights, Hung Ching is entitled to a discount of 3.33% of the total sales price of the building, reflecting ASE's investment costs. Therefore, after deducting the discount of NT$181,288,307, the transaction price is set at NT$5,263,000,000, rounded to the nearest million.

Note: K13 factory is located at ① No. 25, Central 2nd St., Nanzi Dist., Kaohsiung City, with an area of 7.61 Ping.

  • ② No. 35, Central 2nd St., Nanzi Dist., Kaohsiung City (entire building), encompassing 12 floors above ground and 2 floors below ground, with an area of 32,991.92 Pings.

  • If the above price represents the transaction price, the profit for this case is NT$701,886,000.

  • This share transaction is categorized as a related-party transaction, due to which it shall be subject to the evaluation pursuant to the provisions of "Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets". The evaluation should include the purpose of the disposal, its necessity, anticipated benefits, the rationale for selecting the related party as the transaction counterparty, and a projected cash flow statement for the next twelve months, beginning with the anticipated month of contract signing. The evaluation data can be found on pages 6-12 of this manual.

  • The disposal of this subject represents more than 10% of Hung Ching’s total assets. Consequently, both parties must execute a sales contract following approval by the shareholders' meeting. However, due to business requirements, ASE desires to take possession of the K13 factory on September 1, 2024. Therefore, both parties have signed a separate handover agreement. This agreement stipulates that if the disposal of this target is not approved at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting convened by the Company, both parties agree to transition the transaction to a lease, with the commencement date of September 1, 2024. The lease amount, lease period, and other conditions will be negotiated separately by both parties.

  1. As ASE serves as the director of the Company, pursuant to Article 223 of the Company Act, the building purchase and sale contract with ASE should be represented by the Supervisor. However, as the Company has established an Audit Committee to replace the Supervisor, we propose that an Independent director be elected to represent the Company in the negotiation and signing of the building purchase and sale contract.

  2. Attachment: Evaluation of Related-Party Transaction (please refer to Pages 6-12 of the Handbook).

Hung Ching Development & Construction Co., Ltd. Evaluation of Related-Party Transaction
Pursuant to Article 15 of the Financial Supervisory Commission's "Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets", this document presents an evaluation of the relevant information pertaining to related-party transactions.
I. The Purpose, Necessity and Anticipated Benefit of the Acquisition:
  1. Disposal purpose: The K13 factory building was originally leased jointly by the Company and Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as ASE) from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Export Processing Zone Administration (now renamed as the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Organization Act of the Bureau of Industrial Parks, hereinafter referred to as the Bureau of Industrial Parks). The lease was for land located at No. 685, Heping 2nd Subsection, Nanzi District. In accordance with the Bureau of Industrial Parks' regulations, the two parties jointly applied for construction of the factory building on this land. In June 2020, the two parties signed a cooperation development agreement. This agreement stipulated that, to shorten the construction period, ASE would transfer its original leased land (53% of No. 685) to the Company (the Company originally leased 47% of No. 685, increasing to 100% after the transfer). The Company would then apply for construction independently. Upon the completion of the K13 factory building, ASE or its affiliated companies have the priority to purchase the property. Now that the K13 factory building has been completed, ASE has expressed its intention to purchase the property due to business needs. Therefore, we intend to sell the K13 factory building to increase operating revenue and create profit.

  2. Disposal necessity: The development and lease of industrial factories constitute a significant business line and revenue source for the Company. In fiscal year 2023, our capital requirements increased substantially due to the acquisition of shares in Luchu Development Corporation and the successful bid for the Jasper Villa Tianmu project. As of June 30, 2024, the bank loan balance reached NT$14,635,158 thousand, representing an increase of approximately NT$4 billion compared to the same period in the previous year of NT$10,621,322 thousand (June 30, 2023). Furthermore, we secured a NT$1.5 billion loan from our affiliated company, ASE TEST, INC., in January 2024. Consequently, the sale of the Kaohsiung K13 factory building will not only generate operating profits

6

but also enable us to repay construction financing, the NT$1.5 billion loan from our affiliated company, and other bank loans. This disposition will enhance our financial structure and reduce interest expenses. Therefore, this disposition is deemed necessary.

  1. Anticipated Benefit:

  2. ① Determination of Selling Price and Reference Basis

After consulting the valuation reports from professional institutions, namely Savills Taiwan (commissioned by Hung Ching) and Cushman & Wakefield (commissioned by ASE), the estimated values are NT$5,510,500,000 (excluding tax) and NT$5,377,686,626 (excluding tax), respectively. Following negotiations between the finance departments of both parties, it was recommended to use the average of the two appraised values as the basis for the transaction price. In accordance with Article 4, Clause 4 of the Cooperation Development Agreement signed by both parties in June 2020, ASE along with its affiliated company has the priority to purchase the building after its completion. Considering ASE's investment in the leased land since 2003, including original investment, compensation for land development costs, payment of consideration for land exchange with third parties, and transfer of the value of the leased land rights, Hung Ching is entitled to a discount of 3.33% of the total sales price of the building, reflecting ASE's investment costs. Therefore, after deducting the discount of NT$181,288,307, the transaction price is set at NT$5,263,000,000, rounded to the nearest million.

The gross profit margin for this sale was 13.34%, lower than that of K25 and K27. This difference is primarily attributed to the valuation provided by the two professional appraisal firms. They deemed K13 to be of significant scale, and no comparable cases existed in the Nanzih Park. Consequently, the building was valued solely using the cost approach, without employing any comparative valuation methods. However, as this sale involved a relatedparty transaction, the valuation provided by the professional appraisal firms could only serve as a reference for price negotiation. This resulted in a lower gross profit margin compared to K25 and K27.

  • II. Reasons for choosing the related party as a trading counterparty:

  • The Company's factory is being constructed for sale. The primary considerations for the sale are the selling price and profit. The buyer's relationship to the company is not a primary consideration. However, if the buyer is a related party, the transaction will be conducted in accordance with the regulations for related party transactions outlined in the Financial Supervisory Commission's "Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets".

  • ASE, due to business needs, intends to purchase the newly constructed factory from the Company. Selling the factory immediately upon completion would reduce the Company's financial pressure, enabling immediate repayment of construction financing and other loans, thereby improving the financial structure and lowering interest expenses. If the factory is not sold to ASE, it will be necessary to find another buyer. During the sales period, the Company would incur monthly interest expenses of approximately NT$12,000 thousand (NT$5,526,150 (including tax) * 2.6% / 12 = NT$11,973). Additionally, the Company would need to raise funds to meet future operational needs. Therefore, after evaluating the average of the valuations provided by two professional institutions, the selling price is considered reasonable. The Company has chosen to engage in a related-party transaction.

  • III. The date and price at which the related party originally acquired the real property, the original trading counterparty, and its relationship with the Company and the related party:

The subject property in this case was acquired by the Company through self-

9

construction on land leased from the Bureau of Industrial Parks. Consequently, the original acquisition date, price, and transaction counterparty information are not applicable.

IV. A cash flow forecast for the next year (Refer to Page 10 of the Handbook) commencing from the anticipated month of signing of the contract, and evaluation of the necessity of the transaction, and reasonableness of the funds utilization.

In addition to the ongoing joint construction project at the Chongli factory, the Company anticipates obtaining the construction permit for the Fubaitian community in Zhubei between the end of this year and the first quarter of next year. Construction of the Kaohsiung K28 factory is scheduled to commence in January 2025. These projects, along with the acquisition of shares in Luchu Development Corporation and the successful bid for the Jasper Villa Tianmu auction, have resulted in a significant increase in bank loans. The Company anticipates future operational funding requirements. The proceeds from the sale will be used to repay construction financing for these projects and other outstanding loans, significantly benefiting the Company's overall financial management. Therefore, the sale is necessary and the overall financial utilization is reasonable.

V. Professional appraisal report obtained in accordance with applicable regulations.
  1. Savills Taiwan (Commissioned by Hung Ching) has determined a valuation amount of NT$5,510,500,000 (excluding tax).

  2. Cushman & Wakefield (Commissioned by ASE): Valuation amount NT$5,377,686,626 (excluding tax).

VI. Restrictive covenants and other important stipulations associated with the transaction:
  1. As per the K13 factory building architecture landscape pre-approval report submitted to the Bureau of Industrial Parks, the Company was originally scheduled to install solar panels on the roof after obtaining the occupancy permit. We planned to apply for a refund of the remaining performance bond of NT$49,448,444 upon completion of construction. However, after obtaining the occupancy permit, ASE expressed interest in purchasing the building. Due to ASE's urgent need for factory space, both parties negotiated that if ASE does

10

not intend to install solar panels, it will compensate the Company for 50% of the loss incurred due to the inability to recover the performance bond paid to the Bureau of Industrial Parks as a result of not installing solar panels. Therefore, both parties intend to include the following clauses in the building purchase contract (the wording of the contract may be slightly modified, but the compensation ratio will remain unchanged).

The Buyer acknowledges that the Seller submitted a preliminary architectural and landscape review report to the Bureau of Industrial Parks, Ministry of Economic Affairs (hereinafter referred to as the Bureau of Industrial Parks) for the K13 building (hereinafter referred to as K13). This report stipulated that solar panels must be installed on the roof of K13 before the Seller can retrieve the performance bond of NT$49,448,444 (hereinafter referred to as the performance bond) paid to the Bureau of Industrial Parks. The Seller originally planned to install the solar panels after obtaining the K13 usage permit. However, after the Seller obtained the K13 usage permit, the Buyer expressed its intention to purchase K13 first and agreed to cooperate with the Seller to complete the installation of solar panels on the roof of K13 within six months after the transfer of ownership of K13 is registered to the Buyer. However, if the Buyer, after evaluation, decides not to install solar panels on K13, resulting in the Seller being unable to retrieve all or part of the performance bond, the Buyer agrees to compensate the Seller for 50% of the actual loss.

  1. After careful evaluation, the Company is prepared to accept the aforementioned conditions. This decision is based on the following reasons and will facilitate the swift completion of this transaction.

  2. ① The Company will continue to evaluate the feasibility of constructing additional solar panels. If construction proceeds as planned, the deposit may be refunded.

  3. ② If solar panels are not installed, the Company will continue to petition the Bureau of Industrial Parks to determine if a refund can be obtained based on the cost proportion. This could potentially mitigate our financial losses.

  4. ③ If this performance bond is forfeited, after deducting 50% borne by ASE, the Company's maximum loss would be approximately NT$25,000 thousand. This represents 0.48% of the project's revenue, a relatively small proportion. Additionally, the sales revenue for K13 has reached NT$5.526 billion (including tax). Expediting the sales process to repay

11

bank loans is anticipated to result in a monthly reduction of approximately NT$12,000 thousand in interest expenses, significantly contributing to the Company's profitability and lowering the debt ratio. Furthermore, both parties are currently engaged in joint construction projects for the Chongli No. 2 factory and the Kaohsiung K28 factory. In the interest of fostering a positive and collaborative relationship, securing future opportunities, and utilizing surplus financing for land acquisition, the Company's goodwill gesture will be beneficial to future operational development.
