Succession Plan for Board Members and Important Managers

Director Selection

The “Articles of Association” of our company stipulate a comprehensive candidate nomination system for the election of directors. The “Director Election Regulations” and “Corporate Governance Practices Guidelines” specify that the composition of the board of directors should consider diversification. In addition to possessing professional backgrounds and skills, consideration should also be given to the company’s future development, long-term strategic planning, and the diverse professional knowledge required by the company. The selection process for board members adheres to the principles of fairness, openness, and impartiality to select individuals with the necessary expertise, practical experience, and technical competencies to fulfill their duties as directors, thus achieving the ideal goal of corporate governance.

Execution Situation of the Company

In response to operational needs, the board of directors of our company is composed of nine members. In the framework of the company’s future development and long-term strategic planning, we seek suitable board members, whether general directors or independent directors, who are characterized by integrity, responsibility, innovation, and decision-making ability. Personality traits that align with the company’s core values, relevant industry experience, as well as factors such as gender and age balance, are considered in the selection process to form the best board of directors, promoting the company’s development and maximizing its interests.
Each director is required to complete at least 6 hours of continuing education annually during their tenure to assist them in continuously updating their knowledge and maintaining their core values and professional advantages and capabilities.
The company also stipulates the “Director Performance Evaluation Method.” An evaluation is conducted annually, measuring the effectiveness of the board through internal self-assessment and self-assessment by board members. This evaluation helps confirm the effectiveness of the board’s operations and assesses the performance of directors, serving as a reference for future director selection.

Succession Planning for Key Management Levels
  1. Employees at department head level (Grade 9) and above are considered key management personnel and potential successors. They are responsible for overseeing relevant business and operational management within the organization. Each management level has designated deputies to ensure continuity of duties. In addition to possessing the necessary professional skills and experience, key management personnel must align with the company’s corporate culture in terms of values and management philosophy. Their personal qualities must include integrity, vision, innovation, and the ability to earn the trust of both employees and customers.
  2. Through monthly participation in group management meetings, collective involvement in training and continuing education programs related to important operational decisions, and rotations, project assignments, and group ideology advocacy, we strengthen management capabilities, cultivate multifunctional and forward-thinking leadership, and enhance decision-making execution.
Execution Situation of the Company
  1. In July 2022, Manager Chen Ruisui from the Audit Department exchanged positions with Manager You Yajing from the Finance Department, with Manager Chen Ruisui assuming the responsibilities of the Finance Department and Manager You Yajing transferring to the Audit Department.

Risk Management

In recent years, global enterprises have faced significant changes in the economic environment, such as trade controls between China and the United States, disruptions caused by emerging high technologies in cybersecurity, and the spread of the Covid-19 virus. These issues have led to substantial losses for companies due to inadequate responses. Some industries, such as aviation, automotive, and tourism, have even been forced to cease operations.

To avoid potential risks that may lead to operational crises and in line with the spirit of sustainable operations, Shian Yih established a risk management organization in 2020.

Implementation of the Ethical Corporate Management Best Practice Principles

Board Report Date: November 7, 2025

1. Integrity Management Policygulations

Integrity management is the fundamental social responsibility of a company and is beneficial to its operations and long-term development. Dishonest conduct not only causes financial losses to the company but also leads to issues such as low employee ethical standards and mistrust among customers and business partners. This may result in involvement in illicit activities such as lobbying or bribery, undermining corporate governance mechanisms and deteriorating the overall business environment.

The company’s Board of Directors exercises the duty of care of a prudent manager by supervising the prevention of dishonest conduct to ensure the implementation of the integrity management policy.

To ensure that the company and its employees deal with customers, suppliers, creditors, shareholders, and the public with integrity, the company has had the “Integrity Management Operational Procedures and Code of Conduct” and the “Code of Ethical Conduct” approved by the shareholders’ meeting. The formulation, amendment, or repeal of these policies requires the approval of the shareholders’ meeting and the Board of Directors. In addition, the company has established the “Whistleblowing System Management Procedures” as a basis for all employees’ conduct. All employees sign the “Declaration of Compliance with Integrity Management Policies” to pledge adherence to these regulations.

Corporate governance is the foundation of business operations. The company is committed to implementing corporate governance disclosure, enhancing transparency in management performance, and continuously promoting and monitoring organizational activities in compliance with domestic and international regulations to ensure sound organizational development and protect the interests of stakeholders.

Reporting Unit: Administration Department, Intellectual Property Task Group
Matters related to the Company’s intellectual property rights were reported to the 17th Board of Directors meeting in fiscal year 2025.

Intellectual Property Management System:

To strengthen technological operational growth and maintain competitive advantages, the Company positions its intellectual property strategy with a focus on enhancing patent quality rather than patent quantity. By integrating the Company’s core technologies and products with patent development, we aim to create industrial value and increase revenue.
In accordance with the principles of corporate governance, legal compliance, and relevant evaluation indicators, the Company has established a comprehensive intellectual property management system that is aligned with its operational objectives and technology development strategies.

Intellectual Property Management Objectives
  1. To complete at least one patent proposal in the planned technical field by 2025.
  2. To complete the establishment of the planned system in 2025 and ensure that all trade secret documents are archived in the internal management system within the required timeframe for tracking and reference.
  3. To achieve 100% completion of intellectual property and trade secret obligation awareness, declaration, and signing by all newly hired employees.
Intellectual Property Management Policy:
  • Adhere to corporate governance regulations to implement IP management effectively.
  • Strengthen key technologies internally and comprehensively deploy intellectual property.
  • Protect and utilize research and development achievements, enhancing trade secret protection.
  • Enhance employee awareness of IP to create IP value.

Contribution of Intellectual Property Rights to Corporate Operations:

1. Enhancement of IP Energy:

Patented technology is an important intangible asset for our company. We offer internal proposals and external application incentive measures annually to encourage R&D staff to protect their research results. Through an internal review mechanism for proposal applications, we can flexibly adjust patent application categories and countries based on the proposal’s technology, application aspects, and market trends to maximize the utility of patent protection.

2. Deepening Employee Awareness of IP:

The company actively promotes awareness of intellectual property (IP) protection to all employees through internal activities such as training sessions, weekly meetings, and seminars. Only when all employees share a common understanding can unintentional infringement of others’ or the company’s intellectual property be avoided, thereby preventing potential litigation and compensation claims that could affect the company’s financial performance.
Employees are encouraged to frequently participate in external patent and technology seminars to stay informed of rapidly evolving technologies and confidential information through patent searches. At the same time, employees are reminded to strictly follow relevant guidelines during the search process, enabling them to take appropriate measures in the event of any patent-related risks or incidents.

3. Achieving Sustainable Business Goals:

Each year, we conduct education and training for new and existing employees to promote an understanding of the importance of IP rights. We hope that all employees will work together to protect the company’s intellectual property, thereby achieving our corporate sustainability goals.

Intellectual Property Rights Risks and Countermeasures:

Since 2024, our company has actively invested in the development of new products and technologies, including levitating displays, head-up displays, and curved light guides. Although comprehensive intellectual property (IP) management systems have been established internally, the innovation and transformation process may still face challenges such as patent demands and ownership concerns. The company’s foremost principle is to protect its market, products, technologies, and customers.

For example, patents for core and innovative products are prioritized for independent acquisition. In addition, external collaborations and patent acquisitions are pursued. In 2025, the company entered into relevant patent cooperation and licensing projects with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan.

Even under comprehensive control plans, when risks arise, the company immediately applies its risk management procedures to handle disputes. Strategies for dispute resolution are formulated through technical, legal, and industry analyses. Various approaches are employed, such as establishing technical entry barriers against competitors or ensuring that no infringement occurs on others’ patents, taking a holistic approach to IP risk management.
