Diversity and Implementation Status of the Board of Directors

The nomination and selection of members of the board of directors of our company are based on a candidate nomination system. In addition to evaluating the qualifications of each candidate, we also consider the opinions of various stakeholders and follow the "Director Election Regulations" and the "Investors' Practical Guidelines" to ensure the diversity and independence of the board members.

The "Investors' Practical Guidelines" of our company clearly stipulate that the composition of the board of directors should take into account diversity, and that directors who concurrently serve as company managers should not exceed one-third of the seats on the board of directors. The board should also formulate appropriate diversification policies based on its own operations, business models, and development needs, including but not limited to gender, age, nationality, and culture. The board as a whole should generally possess the knowledge, skills, and qualities necessary to perform its duties. To achieve the ideal goal of investors, the board as a whole should possess the following abilities: (1) operational judgment ability, (2) accounting and financial analysis ability, (3) management ability, (4) crisis handling ability, (5) industry knowledge, (6) international market perspective, (7) leadership ability, and (8) decision-making ability.

The current policy and implementation of diversification of the members of the board of directors of our company are as follows:
