Dividend and Stock Price

Articles of Incorporation Regarding Dividend Distribution:

After the company’s annual final accounts, net profit shall be distributed in the following order:

  1. Payment of income taxes according to law.

  2. Offset of accumulated losses from previous years.

  3. Allocation of 10% of the remaining earnings as legal reserve. However, this is not required once the legal reserve equals the company's total capital.

  4. Appropriation or reversal of special reserves according to laws and operational needs.

  5. The balance remaining after the above items, combined with undistributed earnings from previous years, shall be proposed by the Board of Directors as a dividend distribution plan and submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for resolution.

If all or part of the dividends is to be distributed in cash, the Board of Directors is authorized to do so with the attendance of more than two-thirds of directors and the approval of more than half of the attending directors, and this shall be reported at the shareholders’ meeting.

The company's dividend policy is based on current and future development plans, considering the investment environment, capital needs, and domestic and international competitiveness, while also taking into account the interests of shareholders. At least 20% of the distributable earnings shall be allocated as dividends to shareholders, to ensure stable business operations and protect investor rights.

Dividends may be distributed in the form of cash or stock. Cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of the total dividends distributed.

Notes:

Note 1: "Distributable Earnings (NTD)" refers to the sum of "Beginning Unappropriated Earnings / Accumulated Deficit" and "Current Year’s Net Profit" after deduction of taxes, loss compensation, appropriation of legal and special reserves per laws, and other adjustments (or reversals).

Note 2: According to the amended Company Act (effective November 1, 2018), the company's Articles of Incorporation may stipulate that the Board of Directors may decide on interim (Q1, Q2, Q3 or first half) or annual (Q4 or second half) cash dividend distributions without needing shareholder meeting approval. However, if dividends are distributed in the form of new shares (capital increase), shareholder approval is still required. This table determines the progress of the resolution (or proposal) based on the distribution period, type of dividend/rights, authorization, and reporting status. For dividends related to fiscal years 2018 and earlier, the date of the shareholders’ meeting or company announcement is used to judge the progress of the decision.

Note 3: For dividend years (or quarters) before 2019, the amount listed under "Cash Dividend from Legal Reserve (NTD/share)" includes both the cash dividend from the legal reserve and from capital reserve. Similarly, the amount listed under "Stock Dividend from Legal Reserve (NTD/share)" includes both the stock dividend from the legal reserve and from capital reserve.

Note 4: Due to instructions from regulatory authorities, annual shareholders’ meetings originally scheduled between May 24 and June 30, 2021, were postponed to between July and August 2021. For a summary of the postponed meeting dates, please refer to the “Shareholders’ Meeting and Ex-Dividend Calendar” for July and August 2021.
