- Business Plan Summary for 2026 and Future Development Strategy
In view of the current economic and market environment, the Company will cooperate with the globally recognized hotel brand Holiday Inn in 2026 to enter the hospitality industry by leveraging the unique geographical advantages of the Company’s office building.
Following the end of the pandemic, the tourism industry in Mainland China has continued to recover steadily. The Holiday Inn Quanzhou Jinjiang Airport Hotel, jointly developed by the Company and Holiday Inn, is expected to provide stable growth momentum for the Company due to its advantageous location.
The Company will continue adjusting its operating strategies in response to the overall economic downturn by reducing operating costs. Efforts will also be made to strengthen hotel advertising and marketing initiatives in order to improve room occupancy rates and average room prices. In addition, the Company will optimize the management of its office building and Cizao Production Center to enhance overall asset efficiency.
- Impact of External Competition, Regulatory Environment, and Overall Business Environment
In recent years, alongside the continuous growth of Mainland China’s economy, consumer spending and tourism demand have increased significantly. As a result, China’s hotel industry has experienced unprecedented development opportunities, achieving substantial progress not only in scale but also in service management, brand development, and technological innovation.
Particularly in the post-pandemic era, the recovery of the tourism industry has ushered the hotel sector into a new golden period of growth.
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic over the past several years, the Company’s core outsole manufacturing business experienced a significant decline in performance compared to previous years. Accordingly, the Company adjusted its operating strategies by substantially reducing operating costs. Beginning in the middle of last year, the Company gradually shut down production workshops and leased out its self-owned factory facilities in order to optimize asset returns.
At the same time, leveraging the unique geographical advantages of its self-owned office building, the Company renovated Office Building No. 1 and entered into cooperation with the internationally renowned hotel brand Holiday Inn to launch the Holiday Inn Quanzhou Jinjiang Airport Hotel. This project is expected to create new growth potential for the Company in the future.
We sincerely wish all shareholders good health and every success.

- Policies, Standards, and Composition of Remuneration:
(1) Remuneration for directors of the company is determined in accordance with Article 32 of the Company's Articles of Association, authorizing the Board of Directors to set director remuneration based on recommendations from the company's Compensation Committee and considering industry norms. Additionally, if the company is profitable for the fiscal year, director remuneration is allocated in accordance with Article 34 of the Company's Articles of Association, not exceeding one percent of the annual profit. The company evaluates director remuneration periodically according to the "Board of Directors Performance Evaluation Method." The evaluation criteria for directors' performance include:
- Grasp of company goals and missions.
- Recognition of director responsibilities.
- Participation in company operations.
- Management of internal relationships and communication.
- Professionalism and ongoing education of directors.
- Internal control.
The performance assessment and reasonableness of compensation are reviewed by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.
(2) Remuneration for company executives is determined according to the company's salary regulations, which specify various allowances and bonuses to recognize and reward employee efforts in their work. Relevant bonuses are also based on the company's annual operational performance, financial status, operational conditions, and individual job performance. The performance evaluation criteria for executives include:
- Financial indicators: Achievement of annual revenue and operating profit goals.
- Non-financial indicators: Achievement of goals and key results related to job responsibilities, operational management capabilities, and the practice of company core values. The compensation for operational performance is calculated accordingly and the remuneration system is reviewed as needed based on actual operational conditions and relevant regulations.
The performance assessment and reasonableness of compensation are reviewed by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.
30
(3) The composition of remuneration provided by the company includes cash compensation, stock options, stock dividends, retirement benefits or severance pay, various allowances, and other substantial incentive measures. This falls within the scope of matters to be disclosed in the company's annual report regarding director and executive remuneration, in accordance with guidelines for public companies.
- Procedures for Determining Remuneration:
(1) To assess the remuneration of directors and executives regularly, the evaluation results based on the "Board of Directors Performance Evaluation Method" for directors and the "Employee Performance Evaluation Method" for executives and employees are respectively used as a basis, along with the establishment of business performance indicators linked to company operations, and submitted to the Board of Directors for approval.
(2) To effectively demonstrate the achievement of business performance indicators, the performance measurement criteria for executives are based on financial indicators related to the company's annual revenue and operating profit results. The assessment scope includes core responsibilities such as revenue and operating profit, as well as non-financial indicators such as operational safety management, supervision of financial plan execution, revenue management, promotion of digital transformation optimization, enhancement of internal controls, and implementation of quality assurance and management. The performance assessment and reasonableness of compensation are reviewed by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.
(3) The performance assessment and reasonableness of remuneration for directors and executives are evaluated and reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. In addition to considering individual performance achievement rates and contributions to the company, the overall operational performance of the company, industry future risks and development trends are also taken into account. Furthermore, the remuneration system is reviewed as needed based on actual operational conditions and relevant regulations, taking into account current trends in corporate governance, to provide reasonable compensation for the continued operation and risk management of the company. The actual remuneration for directors and executives in the 111th fiscal year was determined after deliberation by the Compensation Committee and approval by the Board of Directors.
31
- Relationship with Business Performance and Future Risks:
(1) The review of relevant remuneration policy standards and systems of the company is mainly based on the overall operating conditions of the company, considering performance achievement rates and contribution levels to enhance the overall organizational team effectiveness of the Board of Directors and management departments. Industry salary standards are also considered to ensure the competitive nature of the company's management-level remuneration and to retain outstanding management talent.
(2) The performance objectives of the company's executives are combined with "risk management" to ensure that risks within their scope of responsibility are managed and prevented. Remuneration is determined based on actual performance results, linking various relevant human resources and salary policies. Important decisions made by the company's management are made after balancing various risk factors. The performance of such decisions is reflected in the company's profitability, thereby correlating the management's remuneration with the effectiveness of risk management.

Each component further comprises a number of items. Please refer to the Regulations for details on the aforementioned items.
(4) The Company has applied the internal control assessment criteria described above to evaluate the design and operational effectiveness of its internal control system.

B. Overview of the Industry
(1) Current status and development of the industry
① Current status of the industry
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the economy of Mainland China has continued to develop, driven by consumption upgrades, growing tourism demand, and accelerating urbanization. Through the introduction of policy documents, optimization of the industry development environment, provision of financial support, and encouragement of innovation, the Chinese government has created favorable external conditions for the development and introduction of mid-to-high-end hotel brands. The hotel industry in Mainland China is embracing unprecedented development opportunities, with a rapidly expanding market size and increasingly diversified characteristics. From budget hotels to high-end luxury properties, and from traditional city-center hotels to rural guesthouses and culturally themed hotels, the variety of hotel formats continues to grow, catering to the needs of consumers across different segments. The hotel industry in China has not only achieved a qualitative leap in scale, but has also made significant strides in service quality, brand building, and technological innovation. In the post-pandemic era in particular, the industry has demonstrated remarkable resilience and innovative vitality through digital transformation, personalized services, and the adoption of sustainable development principles.
② Development of the Industry
The Chinese hotel industry is undergoing profound transformation, gradually shifting from expansionary growth to refined operations. The competitive landscape has moved from incremental development to optimization of existing assets, with corporate strategies correspondingly pivoting from scale expansion to quality improvement. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the accommodation industry in China generated total revenue of RMB 531.4 billion in 2023, representing a year-on-year increase of 38.7%. As of the end of 2024, the total number of accommodation establishments in Mainland China stood at approximately 570,000, with a combined room inventory of 19.28 million rooms. Among these, the hotel sector accounted for nearly 350,000 establishments and 17.64 million rooms, with an average room count of approximately 51 rooms per property, representing 61% and 92% of the total accommodation industry in terms of establishments and rooms, respectively. By virtue of its scale and standardization, the hotel sector has become the core component of the accommodation industry. The Chinese hotel market is substantial in size and has shown an overall upward trend with fluctuations. In 2016, China's hotel industry comprised approximately 290,000 properties with 14.10 million rooms. Although the industry experienced a period of negative growth due to the impact of the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, it began to recover following the easing of the outbreak, with the number of properties growing significantly and room counts gradually recovering, both achieving double-digit growth and staging a strong rebound. In 2024, the total number of hotel properties
70
in China reached 349,000 and total room inventory reached 17.64 million rooms, both setting all-time highs.

(3) Various development trends of the products
① Business Travel
Following the end of the pandemic, China's business travel market entered a new phase of growth starting in 2024, bringing a stable base of business travelers to the broader Chinese hotel industry. According to data from the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), China remains the world's largest business travel market, currently accounting for 25% of global business travel spending and 62% of the Asia-Pacific total. In 2024, China's business travel expenditure grew by 8.8% to USD 372.5 billion, recovering to 2019 levels and entering a phase of steady growth.
② Cultural Travel
Due to the impact of the pandemic, global tourist arrivals and travel spending declined sharply between 2020 and 2022, with hotel average occupancy rates and revenues also significantly affected. Following the end of the pandemic, domestic and international
tourist numbers and tourism spending have largely recovered to 2019 levels. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, China received 130 million inbound visitors in 2024, with international tourism foreign exchange earnings reaching USD 94.2 billion. Supported by China's visa-free policies, the tourism industry is expected to enjoy even broader development prospects in the coming years. In addition, emerging travel formats in recent years — including short-haul trips, local getaways, nighttime consumption, niche destinations, family travel, and self-drive tours — have injected new vitality into the overall tourism industry.

(2) Market Share
Within the four-star hotel market in Jinjiang City, the competitive set recognized among peers of the Holiday Inn Quanzhou Jinjiang Airport includes properties such as Ji Hotel, Atour Hotel, and Marco Polo Hotel.

(3) Future Market Supply, Demand, and Growth Prospects
With the end of the pandemic and the recovery of the Mainland Chinese economy, the tourism and hotel industries have embraced new opportunities. In recent years, the Chinese government has introduced a series of policies to support the development of the hotel
74
industry, including measures such as increasing the number of statutory public holidays, which will directly stimulate growth in tourism and hotel demand. Simultaneously, the Office of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has encouraged local governments to introduce consumer-friendly initiatives such as consumption vouchers and spending discounts. These policies not only improve the operating environment for the hotel industry, but also effectively enhance consumers' willingness to travel and their spending capacity through increased holidays and consumption incentives, thereby generating greater demand for hotel services.
(4) Competitive Advantages

| 1. |
- The improvement plan for insufficient liquidity and the change impact analysis of cash flow for the future year
The Company has certain working capital requirements and various capital expenditure plans for 2026. However, given its relatively high cash position, the Company should be able to fund cash outflows from investing activities over the coming year, and there are no foreseeable concerns regarding insufficient liquidity.
(IV) Impact on financial business by major capital expenditure in recent years
The Company acquired properties amounting to NTD 134,101 thousand during fiscal year 2025, as the Company converted its existing commercial and office premises into a hotel as part of its transition into the hotel industry. As indicated in the comparative table of fixed asset and total asset turnover ratios for the most recent three fiscal years, although the turnover ratios have fluctuated, there are no circumstances in which the increase in capital expenditures has had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or business operations.

|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed-asset turnover ratio (times) | 0.27 | 0.23 | 0.03 |
| Total-asset turnover ratio (times) | 0.14 | 0.11 | 0.01 |
(V) Re-investment policy and the major reasons and improvement plans for the profit or loss in recent years and the investment plan for the future year: None.
(VI) Analysis and assessment on risk matters in recent years and till the printing date of the annual report
A. Impact on company's income by interest rate fluctuations, exchange rate fluctuations and inflation and the countermeasures for future
- Interest rate fluctuations
The Company and its major subsidiaries conduct periodic assessments of credit facilities and borrowings with banks, negotiate preferential interest rates with their banking counterparts, and monitor the inflow and outflow of funds from principal operating activities to service bank borrowings and support operations. As of the end of 2024 and 2025, total bank borrowings amounted to NTD 210,220 thousand and NTD 275,677 thousand, representing $6.33\%$ and $9.37\%$ of total assets, respectively. Interest expenses for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 were NTD 3,941 thousand and NTD 3,979 thousand, respectively. As loan interest rates have been fixed for the duration of the loan terms, there are currently no circumstances in which interest rate fluctuations have had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or business operations.
- Exchange rate fluctuations
The Company's primary operating entity is Jinjiang Chengchang, located in Fujian Province, Mainland China. As its principal customers are domestic Chinese clients, sales transactions are denominated in Renminbi (RMB). Key raw material purchases are likewise settled in RMB, and accordingly, all receipts and payments relating to day-to-day operations are conducted in RMB. The applicant entity, Shengyue New Materials Co., Ltd., maintains its accounts in RMB, and translation adjustments arise upon preparation of the consolidated financial statements. As such foreign exchange differences are attributable to translation rather than transactions, there are currently no circumstances in which exchange rate fluctuations have had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or business operations.
- Inflation
The Company has already incorporated inflation risk into its annual operating plan and continuously monitors market price movements. Selling prices are adjusted in response to market demand, and the Company maintains strong relationships with its suppliers. The procurement policy primarily involves periodic competitive bidding among vendors to reduce purchasing costs. The Company also maintains a pool of qualified alternative suppliers to choose from, thereby mitigating the impact of inflation on the Company's profitability.
B. Policies, main reasons and future countermeasures for profit or loss due to performing high-risk, high leverage investments, endorsements and guarantees and transactions in financial derivatives
In accordance with the principles of prudence and pragmatic management, the Company and its major subsidiaries do not engage in high-risk, high-leverage investments, endorsements and guarantees, or derivative financial instrument transactions. The Company has established its "Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees" and "Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets" to govern the conduct of related business activities. All fund lending activities are carried out in accordance with the Company's "Procedures for Loaning Funds to Others." As a result, there are currently no circumstances in which such activities have had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or business operations.
C. Future development plans and expected research and development expenses to be devoted
The Company is principally engaged in hotel operations and leasing services, with a focus on providing guests with comfortable and high-quality accommodation. Upholding a spirit of product innovation, the Company is committed to enhancing the level of room automation and improving overall hotel operational capabilities, and anticipates investing a certain level of funding in research and development over the coming years.
D. Impact on the financial business of our company by domestic and foreign important policies and changes in law and their countermeasures
The registration of our company is Cayman Islands, but there are no concrete economic activities performed there. The main operation location is China. Our company and its important subsidiaries have paid attention to the major policies, changes in law and changes in policies and orders of the competent agencies of the host countries at all times and made immediate responses. Therefore, there are no major impact on the financial business of our company and its important subsidiaries.
E. Impact on the financial business of our company by technology changes and industrial changes and their countermeasures
In response to the rapid growth and increasingly competitive landscape of the hotel industry, the Company actively pursues diversification and innovation in its marketing and business development efforts, and seeks to expand its operational scale in order to achieve the Group's sustainable development objectives. For the most recent fiscal year and up to the annual report publication date, no circumstances have arisen in which industry changes have had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or business operations.
90
F. Impacts on corporate management crisis by the change of corporate image and their countermeasures
Our company and its important subsidiaries always value local corporate image. Our company has continued to strengthen internal management and quality management of our company positively since its establishment to build corporate image of our corporation. This can further increase the trust to the brands of our company from customers. Therefore, there are no crisis occurred yet.
G. Expected benefits, potential risks and countermeasures for merger
As of the annual report publication date, the Company has no merger or acquisition plans.
H. Expected benefits and potential risks for the expansion of factories and their countermeasures: Not applicable.
I. Risks from centralized purchasing or marketing and countermeasures
- Procurement Concentration Risk
The major subsidiaries of the Company procure raw materials from multiple suppliers, thereby appropriately diversifying procurement risk, ensuring a stable supply of raw materials required for production, and complying with relevant procurement procedures.
- Sales Concentration Risk
The Company is principally engaged in guest room rentals and leasing services. As the hotel was completed and commenced trial operations in early 2026, all revenue for fiscal year 2025 consists of rental income. It is anticipated that once the hotel enters full operation in 2026, the concentration risk of the Group's sales will be reduced.
J. Impacts and risks on the company by massive stock transfers or changes occurred, which are performed by directors, supervisors or big shareholders who have over 10% of shareholdings and their countermeasures
There are no massive stock transfers occurred, which are performed by directors, supervisors or big shareholders who have over 10% of shareholdings, in recent years and till the printing date of the annual report.
K. Impacts and risks on the company by the change in management right in recent years and till the printing date of the annual report and their countermeasures
There are no changes in the management right of our company in recent years and till the printing date of the annual report. Our company has enforced corporate governance system and introduced independent directors to promote the protection of stockholders' equity. The daily operation of our company relies on professional managers. The professional team of managers of our company have made contributions to business performance of our company to some extent. They can continue to obtain the support from shareholders in the future. Therefore, there are no major negative effects on the management and business advantages of our company if there are changes in management right.
L. For litigation or non-contentious cases, the company and the directors, supervisors, general manager, substantial responsible person of the company, big shareholders, who have over 10% of shareholdings, and the affiliated companies should be stated in detail; for cases with final verdict or major litigation, non-contentious or administrative cases at trial where its consequences can result in major impact on
91
stockholders' equity or security prices, the litigation facts, target amount, starting date of the litigation, main parties of the litigation and the status until the printing date of the annual report should be disclosed.
There are no such circumstances within our company.
M. Other important risks and their countermeasures
- Management has faced the challenges of working in listed company for the first time
The business of shoe industry of our company has obtained significant scores. However, we need to face the wide range of investors, shareholders and professional investment institutes after the stock of the company is listed. Our company belongs to the category of foreign enterprise and we need to adapt and understand the relevant securities act. In the future, there will be specialized personnel responsible for maintaining the relationship with investors and performing operations to comply with relevant regulations in the securities act in Taiwan. Our company has recruited suitable talents and organized an excellent team for the demand from business operation successively since our company applied to be listed. Moreover, our company has recruited auditing managers with the working experience in accounting firms in Taiwan to enforce corporate governance in order to respond to the challenges faced after being listed.
- Challenges from stockholders' equity
The Company Act of Cayman Islands and The Company Act of R.O.C. have many different regulations. Our company has amended our company law in accordance with "Checklist for important matters concerning the protection of shareholders' equity in foreign issuer's country of registration" announced by Taiwan Stock Exchange without against the law in Cayman Islands. However, the legal regulations for corporate operation in China and Taiwan have many different points, investors cannot ensure that their perspectives in the legal rights of investment on domestic companies in Taiwan can also be used when making investments on companies in Cayman Islands. Hence, investors should understand and inquire relevant risks from specialists.

Payments in respect of any such redemption or repurchase, if any, may be made either in cash or by distribution of specific assets of the Company, as specified in the Ordinary Resolution approving the redemption or repurchase, provided that (a) the relevant Shares will be cancelled upon such redemption or repurchase and will not be held by the Company as Treasury Shares, and (b) where assets other than cash are distributed to the Members. | According to the explanations from the lawyers of Cayman Islands: 1. Article 14 of Cayman Islands Company Law allows the company to reduce issued capital, however, this requires the approval of board meeting by Special Resolution and can be performed after the confirmation of Cayman court. 2. Other than Article 14 of Cayman Islands Company Law, the issued capital of the company can be removed only when buying, returning or taking back in accordance with the regulations in Article 37 or 37B of Cayman Islands Company Law. 3. Based on Article 37 of Cayman Islands Company Law, a company can buy back its stocks in accordance with The Company Law with the approval of board meeting. Other than the regulations in Article 37, Cayman Islands Company Law has not stipulated: (1) the buy-back should be in accordance with the shareholding ratio of the shareholders; (2) approval is required when the stock payment is returned by properties other than cash; or (3) assessment should be performed for the returned property value. However, these can be stipulated in The Company Law. Because of this, Article 14.1 and Article 10.7 of The Company Law stipulate that the procedure of reducing capital of our company should be performed through the buy-back of stocks. The difference comes from the regulation of Cayman Islands Company Law. However, The |

According to the explanations from the lawyers of Cayman Islands: matters which requires the approval by special resolution should include but not limit to: (i) The change in company name; (ii) Amend or add regulations in The Company Law; (iii) Amend or add purposes, rights or other specially stated matters related to the outlines of the company law; (iv) Capital reduction and redemption of preparation money by capital and (v) Volunteer dismissal due to reasons other than the incapability to pay off when the debt is due; (vi) Merger or consolidation with other company.

Unless otherwise provided in the Statute, the Articles and the Applicable Public Company Rules, Members present in person or by proxy, representing more than one-half of the total outstanding Shares, shall constitute a quorum for any general meeting." In addition, if the company wish to make it as a special resolution, then at least the shareholders who holds over half of the issued stocks of our company should attend in person or entrust proxies and it can be approved by the consent of over two thirds of the votes with voting rights exercised by the attended shareholders (include the ones attended by the entrusted proxy |

| (2) Reasons for the differences | ||
| According to the explanations of Cayman lawyers, special resolution is the regulation in Cayman Islands Company Law; the matters which requires special resolution should require the approval by board meeting in accordance with the company law based on the regulations in Cayman Islands Company Law; and if any such matters are approved by thresholds lower than special resolution in Cayman Islands Company Law, it is considered as invalid based on the regulations in Cayman Islands Company Law. Hence, The Company Law has stipulated that for the matters regarding the protection of shareholders’ equity which requires Supermajority Resolution, if special resolutions are required according to Cayman Islands Company Law, then they will be retained as “special resolution” in the company law; as for the other matters regarding the protection of shareholders’ equity which requires supermajority resolution, they will be listed as matters required supermajority resolution in The Company Law. |
- Article 14.3 of The Company Law
(1) Regulations in The Company Law:
According to Article 14.3 of The Company Law: “Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Articles, and the Applicable Public Company Rules, with regard to the dissolution procedures of the Company, the Company shall pass (a) a Supermajority Resolution, if the Company resolves that it be wound up voluntarily because it is unable to pay its debts as they fall due; or (b) a Special Resolution, if the Company resolves that it be wound up |

|---|---|---|
| voluntarily for reasons other than the reason stated in Article 14.3(a) above.” The differences with the important matters, which protects shareholders’ rights, listed on the left are: In The Company Law, the resolution regarding dismissal is based on the reasons for the resolution of dismissal and hence, there are different requirements for “Supermajority Resolution” and “Special resolution”; comparing to this, the important matters, which protects stockholders’ rights, listed on the left, have required that all should be done by “Supermajority Resolution”. |
(2) Reasons for the differences:
According to the opinions of Cayman lawyers, if there is a resolution involving voluntary dismissal of the company for other reasons except the incapability of paying off debts when it is due, then it should be passed as a special resolution, which is in accordance with Cayman Islands Company Laws. From the above, we can know that the differences come from Cayman laws. |

If the Independent Directors fail to bring such action within thirty days after the request by the Member, such Member may bring the | According to the explanations from the lawyers of Cayman Islands:
1. Cayman Islands Company Laws does not have the concept corresponding to “supervisors”. Hence, the effect of the establishment of supervisors in The Company Law is unclear.
2. Regarding on the regulations of shareholders’ relief, according to the Case Law, the appropriate accuser should be the company itself formally rather than the shareholder himself/herself or minority shareholders in a lawsuit alleging the directors performed damagers to the company. Only in a very few exceptions, for example, if the action of the directors causes fraud to minority shareholders and the person that |

| 3. The regulation that Taipei local court in Taiwan will be the first instance court has been added to The Company Law, which may not be performed under Cayman laws. This is because that Cayman court cannot recognize and perform a foreign judgement which are not about money payment before reviewing the basis of law for the disputes. | ||
| According to the front subparagraph of Paragraph 2 of Article 28-4 of Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation Rules Governing Review of Securities Listings: “A foreign issuer shall either install an audit committee or a supervisor.” Our company has established an audit committee comprised of all of the Independent Directors, hence, there is no need to establish a supervisor additionally. The differences should not have major negative impact on the shareholders’ equity. | ||

The rules and procedures governing such incentive | According to the explanations from the lawyers of Cayman Islands, Cayman Islands Company Laws did not stipulate special regulations on employee stock option certificates or the procedure for the issuance of employee stock option certificates. The issuance of employee stock option certificates and whether the certificate can be transferred, etc. should be stipulated in the contracts for employee stock options or on the stock option certificates. |
| Hence, according to the regulations in Cayman laws, if the company wish to limit the transfer of employee stock option certificates, relevant regulations should be stipulated in contracts for employee stock option or the stock option |

The terms and conditions of such agreements shall be no less restrictive on the relevant employee than the terms specified in the applicable incentive programme.” | ||

And Taiwan Taipei District Court will be served as the first tribunal for jurisdiction. | Article 18.7 of The Company Law: “Nothing in the Articles shall prevent any Member from issuing proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction for an appropriate remedy in connection with the improper convening of any general meeting or the improper passage of any resolution. The Taipei District Court, R.O.C., shall be the court of the first instance for adjudicating any disputes arising out of the foregoing.” | According to the explanations from the lawyers of Cayman Islands, the regulations in The Company Law listed on the left may not be performed under Cayman laws. This is because that Cayman court cannot recognize and perform a foreign judgement which are not about money payment before reviewing the basis of law for the disputes. |
The important matters which protects shareholders’ equity listed on the right are actually the regulation for the legal rights for the revocation of the appeal of the shareholders. Its legal effect cannot be achieved by the regulations on the law. It requires legal regulations to give the rights to the shareholders in order to abolish an appeal. The regulations in The Company Law listed on the left has a slight difference with the important matters which protects shareholders’ equity, however, if the gather procedure of board meetings or its resolution method violates orders or laws, then The Company Law did not limit the rights of the shareholders to ask for a lawsuit or relief to the court. Regarding whether the court which accepted the case will abolish the resolution of the board meeting because of the violation of gather procedure or resolution method with the laws or The Company Laws, it will be reviewed by that court (no matter the court is in ROC or Cayman Islands or other courts in the country with |
| Matters for protecting stockholders’ equity Items in the checklist | Content stipulated in Company Law | Reasons for the differences and explanations |
|---|---|---|
| jurisdiction on its applicable laws to determine whether the shareholders can have the rights to abolish an appeal in accordance with its position. This difference is because of the nature of the rights to abolish an appeal of the shareholders and The Company Law did not limit shareholders to ask for a lawsuit or relief to the court. | ||
| In case a director has, in the course of performing his/her duties, committed any act resulting in material damages to the company or in serious violation of applicable laws and/or regulations, but not discharged by a resolution of the shareholders' meeting, the shareholder(s) holding 3% or more of the total number of outstanding shares of the company may, within 30 days after that shareholders meeting, institute a lawsuit in the court for a judgment in respect of such matter. And Taiwan Taipei District Court will be served as the first tribunal for jurisdiction. | Subparagraph (j) of Paragraph 1 of Article 28.2 of The Company Law: “Subject to the provisions of the Statue, and the Articles or the Applicable Public Company Rules, in the event that he has, in the course of performing his duties, committed any act resulting in material damage to the Company or in serious violation of applicable laws and/or regulations or the Memorandum and the Articles, but has not been removed by the Company pursuant to a Supermajority Resolution vote, then any Member(s) holding 3% or more of the total number of outstanding Shares shall have the right, within thirty days after that general meeting, to petition any competent court for the removal of such Director, at the Company’s expense and such Director shall be removed upon the final judgement by such court. For clarification, if a relevant court has competent jurisdiction to adjudicate all of the foregoing matters in a single or a series of | According to the explanations from the lawyers of Cayman Islands: |
| 1. Cayman Islands Company Law did not stipulate the minority shareholders can apply for the dismissal of directors to Cayman court specifically. | ||
| 2. Normally, the procedure for the dismissal of directors is stipulated in The Company Law. It usually stipulates that this resolution should be passed in a board meeting for it to take effect. | ||
| 3. Regarding on the regulations of shareholders’ relief, according to the Case Law, the appropriate accuser should be the company itself formally rather than the shareholder himself/herself or minority shareholders in a lawsuit alleging the directors performed damages to the company. Only in a very few exceptions, for example, if the action of the directors causes fraud to minority shareholders and the person that performed the fraud actions is the controller of the company, then the minority shareholder who bears the fraud can ask for a litigation to the court. | ||
| 4. These regulations in the Company Law may not be performed under Cayman laws. This is because that Cayman court cannot recognize and perform a foreign judgement which are not about money payment before reviewing the basis of law for the disputes. However, the directors can be dismissed by the procedure stated in The Company Law. |
| Matters for protecting stockholders’ equity Items in the checklist | Content stipulated in Company Law | Reasons for the differences and explanations |
|---|---|---|
| proceedings, then, for the purpose of this paragraph (i), final judgement shall be given by such competent court.” | The reasons for the differences between The Company Law listed on the left and the important matters which protects shareholders’ equity are that Cayman court cannot recognize and perform foreign judgements other than monetary judgements before the substantial trial of the dispute. Hence, they cannot be recognized and performed by Cayman court even if the important matters which protects shareholders’ equity are stipulated in The Company Law where Taipei local court in Taiwan may recognize it as the judgement or ruling of the dismissal of directors. Because of this, it has been stipulated in The Company Law that the shareholders should ask for a lawsuit to a court with jurisdiction. This difference is resulted from the regulations in Cayman law regarding the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgement. Hence, the shareholders can still dismiss the directors in accordance with The Company Law. | |

According to the front subparagraph of Paragraph 2 of Article 28-4 of Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation Rules Governing Review of Securities Listings: “A foreign issuer shall either install an audit committee or a supervisor.” Our company has established an audit committee comprised of all of the Independent Directors, hence, there is no need to establish a supervisor additionally.

In case the behavior is done for himself/herself or on behalf of another person, the meeting of shareholders may, by a resolution, consider the earnings in such an act as earnings of the company.

The Directors and the Company shall jointly and severally indemnify the third party for any losses or damages incurred by such third party if such loss or damage is incurred as a result of a Director’s breach of laws or regulations in the course of performing his duties. The aforementioned duties of the Directors shall also apply to the managers of the Company.” | company. A company can ask for compensation if a director violates the aforementioned duties. In addition, if a director violates his/her duties and has obtained benefits from the violation, then the benefits shall belong to the company. According to the principle of Case Law, an action performed by a director act on behalf of the company will be considered as the action of the company itself during the process of managing company business. If its action resulted in any damages to the third parties, then it should be the company rather than that director who had responsibilities to the third parties for its action. The third parties asked for compensation were not able to ask upon in accordance with the regulations in The Company Law and add the duties upon the shareholders. The third parties who are not shareholders cannot perform actions based on The Company Law. If the company has to take on responsibilities to third parties for damage compensation because the violation of duties by a director, then the company can ask for compensation from the director that caused the damages. Managers normally do not have fiduciary duties from the company. There is no enforcement power even if there are regulations in company law since the managers are not the party in the company law. Agreement with the managers on the aforementioned duties should be made by the method of contract. According to the explanations above, although the important matters, which protects stockholders’ equity, has been stipulated in Article 26.5 of The Company Law, if a director performs business operations which violates loyal duties and results in damages to others, |
