Diversity and Independency of the Board of Directors
The composition of our board members, in addition to considering the Company's operation and development requirements, has also formulated the diversity policy of the board members in accordance with the Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles, which includes gender, age, professional background, and industrial experience, etc. These are all items for evaluating the diversity of the board of directors.

Objectives of the Diversity of Directors
Among the current board members, there is 3 independent directors (including 1 female independent director): the number of independent director seats accounts for 1/3 of the board seats. None of the directors serves as a managerial officer concurrently; none of the directors is related to each other as spouse or relative within second degree of kinship; and none of the 3 independent directors has been re-elected for more than three terms. In addition to the above, the Company shall strengthen the implementation of gender equality in the Board composition. As there are fewer female candidates, the current Board includes only one female member (who is also an independent director), representing 11% of the total, while male members make up 89% (8 members). In the coming years, the Company will continue to strive towards its goal of increasing the proportion of female directors will be increased to over one-third (33%).
