Honest business
"Integrity Management" is the highest ethical standard of our company. We have established a Corporate Governance Department to promote integrity management within the company, with the Administrative Management Office responsible for its implementation. This department reports its operations and related actions to the Board of Directors at least annually; the report was submitted on November 13th, 2025. Furthermore, through the formulation of regulations, continuous improvement, supervision and control, and education and training, we ensure that our employees are familiar with the meaning of integrity management. Therefore, we have established regulations such as the "Corporate Governance Code," "Corporate Integrity Management Code," and "Integrity Management Operating Procedures and Conduct Guidelines," which have been approved by the Board of Directors, deeply embedding integrity management into our company culture.
The following is a summary of the implementation of honest business practices in 2015:
I. Signing Statement
All 13 directors and senior executives of the company have signed the "Declaration of Compliance with the Integrity Management Policy".
II. Education and Training
New employees: In 2014, all new employees were informed of and given information on confidentiality, integrity and loyalty obligations and regulations on preventing insider trading upon joining the company, and were given relevant consent forms or procedures for receipt and signature.

IV. Conflict of Interest
The Company's "Code of Conduct for Integrity Management," "Rules of Procedure for Board Meetings," "Organizational Procedures for the Audit Committee," "Organizational Procedures for the Salary and Remuneration Committee," and "Organizational Procedures for the Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development Committee" stipulate a system for directors (including independent directors) and committee members to avoid conflicts of interest. If a director or member has a conflict of interest with a resolution proposed by the Board of Directors or functional committees, or with a legal person they represent, or with their spouse or a blood relative within two degrees of kinship, and such conflict of interest is likely to harm the Company's interests, they shall not participate in the discussion or voting, and shall recuse themselves from such discussion and voting, and shall not act as a proxy for other directors to exercise their voting rights.
Implementation status of board of directors' avoidance of conflict of interest in 2015:
V. Regular Inspections
Risk assessments for corruption-related activities are conducted at all operating locations. Effective control and implementation are achieved through annual self-audits by each unit and self-assessments of legal compliance. An independent audit is conducted by the auditing unit to ensure the overall mechanism functions properly, jointly managing and preventing dishonest behavior. No cases of corruption or anti-competitive behavior were found in 2025.
VI. Reporting System and Protection of Whistleblowers
Our company has established a "Reporting Regulations" to actively prevent dishonest behavior. We encourage internal and external personnel to report dishonest or improper conduct. A designated unit handles all reports, and the company website provides an effective communication channel for employees, shareholders, and other stakeholders and external parties. In accordance with the provisions of the "Reporting Regulations" regarding the protection of whistleblowers, we guarantee the confidentiality of whistleblower identities and the content of their reports, and promise to protect whistleblowers from improper handling as a result of their reports. In 2025, we received no reports of dishonest behavior.
VII. Preventing Insider Trading
The Company has explicitly stipulated in its "Regulations for the Prevention of Insider Trading" that "directors shall not trade their shares during the closed period of 30 days prior to the announcement of the annual financial report and 15 days prior to the announcement of the quarterly financial report".
Prior to the release of each quarterly financial report, the Company notifies 13 directors and other insiders that they are prohibited from trading the Company's shares during the closed periods of 30 days prior to the announcement of the annual financial report and 15 days prior to the announcement of each quarterly financial report.
In 2015, our company notified 13 insiders of the "Common Examples of Violations of the Securities and Exchange Act Regarding Changes in Insider Shareholdings" to avoid violations of relevant securities regulatory laws.
