   The Company has stipulated within its Code of Practice that the composition of the Board of Directors should be implemented in accordance with a diversity policy. Furthermore, all directors of the Company are managers with many years of practical business experience, possessing the knowledge, skills and qualities necessary to perform their duties.

   The Company's diversity policy and specific management objectives, along with their achievement status, are as follows:

   At least one-third of the directors shall possess expertise in the computer industry, marketing, or technology.	Achieved
   At least one-third of the independent directors shall possess expertise in law, finance and accounting, or technology.	Achieved
   Directors who also serve as company managers should not exceed one-third of the total number of directors.	Achieved
   No independent director has served for more than three consecutive terms.	Achieved

   The Company has established nine directorships in accordance with its Articles of Association. The current directors were elected at the shareholders' meeting held on 30 June 2023, including three independent directors (comprising one-third of the directorships). Members possess extensive experience and expertise in operational management, industry knowledge, financial accounting, corporate governance, and sustainable development. Where the proportion of directors of either gender on the Company's Board of Directors falls below one-third, the reasons shall be stated along with measures planned to enhance gender diversity among directors:

   1. Explanation of Reasons: Pursuant to the Articles of Association, the Company has established nine director positions. The current directors were elected at the shareholders' meeting held on 27 June 2023. Although their appointment complied with the relevant statutory provisions at that time, the proportion of directors of either gender still falls below one-third.
   2. Measures to be adopted: Prior to the expiry of the current Board term and subsequent re-election, solicit talent recommendations from multiple channels including industry and academia. This aims to enhance corporate governance effectiveness and implement the Board diversity policy, thereby achieving the target of one-third female directors.

   The implementation of board member diversity at our company in 2024 is as follows:
