Succession planning for board members and key management
Succession planning and operation of board members:
The Company selects and appoints directors using a candidate nomination system in accordance with its Articles of Incorporation and implements a policy of board diversity as outlined in the Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles. The Board currently consists of nine directors (including three independent directors) who possess diverse and complementary industry experience, as well as professional expertise in finance, accounting, international marketing, tax accounting, information technology, and corporate governance. Two of these directors also serve in senior management positions within the Company; the Board’s composition and the professional backgrounds of its members are expected to remain consistent with the current structure.
Regarding succession planning for the Board of Directors, the Company cultivates senior executives for future board roles, familiarizing them with board operations and the business activities of various Group units while deepening their industry experience through job rotation. In addition to prioritizing diversity—such as ensuring that directors who also serve as company managers do not exceed one-third of the total board seats—the Company emphasizes gender equality; the number of female directors has increased to four, raising their representation from 27.27% to 44.44%.
The company has also clearly defined the “Board of Directors Performance Evaluation Methods”, which measure items through performance evaluation, including control of company goals and tasks, awareness of responsibilities, participation in operations, internal relationship management and communication, professional functions and further training, internal control and specific Expressions of opinions, etc., to confirm the effective operation of the board of directors and to evaluate the performance of directors as a reference for future selection of directors.

Succession planning for important management levels:
The important management level of the company is responsible for the relevant operation and management business within the organization, and each management level has a professional agent. In order to cultivate important management and their job agents, the training mechanism is designed to include courses related to professional abilities and corporate governance, as well as arrangements for participation in important internal business management meetings.
The company conducts employee performance appraisals every year. Through performance appraisals, we understand personal development needs and company expectations as a reference for future succession planning.
