Diversity of membership

(1) Board Diversity Policy Management Objectives and Achievement Status

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

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:

• I. Explanation of Reasons: The Company has established nine director positions in accordance with its Articles of Association. 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, there remains a situation where the number of directors of either gender does not reach one-third of the total director positions.
• II. Measures to be Adopted: Prior to the expiry of the current Board term and subsequent re-election, solicit talent recommendations through multiple channels including industry and academic institutions. This aims to enhance corporate governance effectiveness and implement the Board diversity policy, thereby achieving the target of one-third female directors.
