Specific management objectives and achievement regarding the diversification policy for Board members

The current Board has seven directors, including four independent directors.

  1. Proportion of directors with employee status: 1/7
  2. Proportion of independent directors: 4/7
  3. Proportion of female directors: 1/7

The composition of the board members "Corporate Governance Practice Guidelines" follows a diversified policy, which broadly includes outstanding entrepreneurs and professionals from various industries with financial, operational, and extensive experiences. Based on the company's operations, business models, and development needs, we formulate appropriate diversified policies, which include but are not limited to the following two major dimensions:

  1. Basic conditions and values: gender, age, nationality, ethnicity, tenure, culture, etc.
  2. Professional knowledge and skills: professional background (such as law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing or technology), professional capabilities, industry experience, etc.

The specific management objectives and achievements of our company's diversity policy are as follows:

  1. Achieving a majority of independent directors
  2. Achieving the addition of one female director
  3. Ensuring that the tenure of independent directors does not exceed three terms
  4. Ensuring that the number of directors serving concurrently as managers does not exceed one-third of the total number of director seats.

Diversity of Board members

When the relationship is likely to prejudice the interests of the company, the director shall not participate in discussion or voting on that agenda item, and further, shall enter recusal during discussion and voting on that item and may not act as another director's proxy to exercise voting rights on that matter.
