NT$1,978,189,485 of the total dividend shall be distributed as cash (at NT$0.36 per share) and the remaining NT$4,615,775,460 shall be distributed as shares (84 shares from capital increase issuance shall be distributed nonremuneratively for each 1,000 shares). In addition, together with the capital reserve-turned capital increase that the Company plans to conduct, with amount totaling NT$879,195,320 (16 shares from capital increase issuance shall be distributed nonremuneratively for each 1,000 shares). The total dividend distributed to shareholders is NT$1.36 per share, which includes cash dividend of NT$0.36 and stock dividend of NT1$.

Item 2
|
(Proposed by the Board of Directors)
|
Proposal :
|
To meet the requirements for larger production capacity in future the Company needs to enrich its operation capital in order to repay bank loans or the needs for other long-term development use, thereby enabling the fund-raising channels more diversified and flexible. As such, the shareholders’ meeting is requested to authorize the board of directors to opt at the optimal time, depending on the market situation and the status of capital needs of the Company and in accordance with existing laws and regulations, for capital increase in cash by issuing common shares or joining the issuance of GDR (Global depository receipts) or domestic capital increase in cash or issuance of domestic or ECB to raise fund. The case is being presented for discussions.
|
Explanation:
|
1. The principles to authorize the board of directors to issue new common shares and GDR for capital increase in cash shall be as follows:
1.1 Issuance of common shares in the form GDR for capital increase in cash shall be limited to 500,000,000 shares only. The shareholders’ meeting shall authorize the board of directors and the chairman of the board to make the adjustment by the market condition and issue the authorized GDR’s all at once.
1.2 In conducting issuance of new shares in the form of GDR for capital increase in cash, the issuance price shall be by the rules set forth in the Self-discipline Rules Concerning Subscription and Issuance of Securities by the Issuing Company Member Underwriters Have Assisted in the Process, i.e., the issuance price shall not be lower than the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the domestic open market. Take the simple arithmetic mean of the closing price of the common share on the first, third and fifth day prior to the price-setting day, minus 90% of the average stock price after gratuitous ex-rights and ex-interest, then comes the price for the new issue. However, the price-setting method may be duly adjusted if related domestic laws and regulations are updated. Since the stock price at home has often experience drastic volatility in the short run, the chairman of the board is authorized to set the actual issuance price within the above-mentioned price range, after having consulted with underwriter taking into consideration the international general practice, international capital market, domestic market price, the overall subscription status so as to make the offering price attractive to overseas investors. Consequently, the price-setting method should be reasonable. Additionally, the deciding method for the issuance price of GDR is based on the fair trading price of common shares at the domestic open market whereas the original stockholder may purchase the common shares at domestic stock exchange at the price close to the issuance price of the GDR, without bearing the exchange rate risk and liquidity risk. Moreover, the tranche of issuance of new shares and GRD for capital increase in cash do not affect much of the shareholders’ equity as the highest dilution ratio in relation to the original shareholders’ equity stands only at 9.13%.
1.3 10% of common shares issued for capital increase in cash shall, according to Article 267 of The Company Act, be reserved for subscription by company employees and the remaining 90% will be fully appropriated for open issuance as the securities for GDR as the original shareholders have waived their rights for subscription in accordance with Article 28-1 of the Securities Trading Act.
|
For the part that employees have not subscribed, the chairman of the board is authorized to contact specific party for purchase or, depending on the market requirements, list as the original securities for participation in the issuance of GDR.
1.4 The proceeds for capital increase in cash from subscription to the GDR shall be used for overseas procurement of materials, enrichment of operation capital, repayment of bank loans, purchase of machinery and equipment, and/or spin-off in one or multiple use and is expected to complete the implementation within 2 years after the fund is fully raised. Implementation of the said plan is expected to intensify the Company’s competitiveness, enhance the benefit of the operation efficiency, producing positive benefit to shareholders.
1.5 The board of directors is authorized to set the major contents of the capital increase in cash plan, which includes issuance price, number of shares issued, issuance conditions, source of capital, plan items, amount of fund raised, estimated progress and estimated probable effect generated as well as the issuance plan of participation in the issuance of GDR.
1.6 Once the plan for capital increase in cash is approve d by the competent regulatory authority, the board of directors will be authorized to proceed with matters related to issuance of new shares.
1.7 If the agreement on issuance time, issuance condition, issuance volume, issuance amount of capital increase in cash and participation in issuance of GDR as well as other matters related to capital increase in cash and participation in issuance of GDR needs update in future due to the decision by the competent regulatory authority and on the basis of operation evaluation, or the needs of objective environment, the board of directors shall be authorized to handle at its full discretion.
1.8 In conjunction with the issuance method of common shares for capital increase in cash and participation in GDR issuance, the chairman of the board or his designated representative is authorized to represent the Company in signing all documents related to the participation in the issuance of GDR as well as handling all needed matters related to the participation in the issuance of GDR.
1.9 For matters that are not covered herein, the board of directors may, in accordance with law, proceed at its discretion.
2. The principles to authorize the board of directors to conduct capital increase in cash at home shall be as follows:
2.1 Number of new shares issued for capital increase in cash shall not be in excess of 500,000,000 shares.
2.2 The par value of the new shares for capital increase in cash shall be NT$10 each. Actual issuance price shall be by related rules set forth in the Self-discipline Rules Concerning Subscription and Issuance of Securities by the Issuing Company Member Underwriters Have Assisted in the Process and the market condition at the time of issuance. The chairman of she board and the underwriter may reach an agreement on the issuance in consideration of all the conditions mentioned above, which shall be subject to the approval by the competent regulatory authority before the issuance.
|
|
2.3 The issuance method of new shares for the capital increase in cash shall be by price enquiry and selected purchase. With the exception of 10%-15% reserved for employees as required by Article 267 of The Company Act, the rest will be offered for public issuance as all original shareholders have waived their rights to subscribe according to Article 28-1 of the Securities Trading Act. In addition, if the Company’s employees have not subscribed sufficiently and adequately or waived the right to subscribe, the chairman may contact specific party for purchase.

Summary of Corporate Governance Differences
|
New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance Rules Applicable to U.S. Companies
|
Description of Significant Differences between Our Governance Practices and the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules Applicable to U.S. Companies
|
Director independence
|
|
Listed companies must have a majority of independent directors, as defined under the NYSE listing standards.
|
Two member of our board of directors is independent as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the United States Securities of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We do not assess the independence of our directors under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards.
Pursuant to relevant laws and regulations of the Republic of China (the "ROC"), we have two independent directors on our board of directors that were elected through the candidate nomination system at our annual general shareholders meeting on June 25, 2009.
|
To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, the non-management directors of each company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
|
All of our directors attend the meetings of the board of directors. Our non-management directors do not meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. The ROC Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the ROC to have their non-management directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
|
Nominating/Corporate governance committee
|
|
Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards.
|
We do not have a nominating/corporate governance committee. The ROC Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the ROC to have a nominating/corporate governance committee.
Currently, our board of directors performs the duties of a corporate governance committee and regularly reviews our corporate governance principles and practices.
The ROC Company Law requires that directors be elected by shareholders. Under ROC law and regulations, companies that have independent directors are required to adopt a candidate nomination system for the election of independent directors. Our two independent directors were elected through the candidate nomination system provided in our articles of incorporation. All of our non-independent directors were elected directly by our shareholders at our shareholders meetings without a nomination process.
|
Compensation committee
|
|
Listed companies must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards.
|
We do not have a compensation committee. Under the ROC Company Law, companies incorporated in the ROC are not required to have a compensation committee. However, the ROC Company Law requires that the measures by which director compensation is determined either be set forth in the company’s articles of incorporation or be approved at a shareholders meeting.
Our articles of incorporation currently provide that total director and supervisor remuneration shall be no more than 2% (inclusive) of our net income after payment of all income taxes, deduction of any past losses, allocation of 10% of our net income for legal reserves and allocation for special reserves.
The ROC Company Law requires the compensation of managers, including executive officers, of a company limited by shares to be approved by a resolution of the board of directors or pursuant to a higher standard specified in its articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation do not provide measures by which the compensation of executive officers is determined and such compensation is determined by our board of directors according to our internal compensation policies.
|
Audit committee
|
|
Listed companies must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
|
We have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
Pursuant to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, beginning January 1, 2007, public companies shall either establish an audit committee satisfying specified requirements or install supervisors. Under certain circumstances, public companies may be required by the Financial Supervisory Commission (the "FSC") to establish an audit committee. In addition to our Rule 10A-3 audit committee, we currently have supervisors pursuant to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law.
|
The audit committee must have a minimum of three members.
In addition to any requirement of Rule 10A-3(b)(1), all audit committee members must satisfy the independence requirements for independent directors set out in the NYSE listing standards.
|
We currently have two member on our audit committee. Our audit committee member satisfies the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
We do not assess the independence of our audit committee member under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards.
|
The audit committee must have a written charter that provides for the duties and responsibilities set out in Rule 10A-3 and addresses certain other matters required by the NYSE listing standards.
|
Our audit committee charter provides for the audit committee to assist our board of directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditor and (iii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and provides for the duties and responsibilities set out in Rule 10A-3. Our audit committee charter does not address all the matters required by the NYSE listing standards beyond the requirements of Rule 10A-3.
Because the appointment and retention of our independent auditor are the responsibility of our entire board of directors under ROC law and regulations, our audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to these matters.
|
Each listed company must have an internal audit function.
|
We have an internal audit function. Under the ROC Regulations for the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies, a public company is required to set out its internal control systems in writing, including internal audit implementation rules, which must be approved by the board of directors.
Our entire board of directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the establishment of the internal audit functions, compliance with the internal audit implementation rules and oversight of our internal control systems, including the appointment and retention of our independent auditor.
|
Equity compensation plans
|
|
Shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, except for employment inducement awards, certain grants, plans and amendments in the context of mergers and acquisitions, and certain specific types of plans.
|
We comply with the corresponding requirements of the ROC Company Law, the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, and the ROC Criteria Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, which require shareholders’ approval for the distribution of employee bonuses, while the board of directors has authority to approve employee stock option plans by a majority vote of the board of directors at a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present and to grant options to employees pursuant to such plans, subject to the approval of the Securities and Futures Bureau of the FSC and to approve treasury stock programs and the transfer of shares to employees under such programs by a majority vote of the board of directors in a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present.
|
Corporate governance guidelines
|
|
Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines.
|
We currently comply with the domestic non-binding Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for Taiwan Stock Exchange and GreTai Stock Market Listed Companies promulgated by the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the GreTai Stock Market, and we provide an explanation of differences between our practice and the principles, if any, in our ROC annual report.
|
Code of ethics for directors, officers and employees
|
|
Listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers.
|
We have adopted a code of ethics that satisfies the requirements of Item 16B of Form 20-F and applies to all employees, officers, supervisors and directors of our company and our subsidiaries and will disclose any waivers of the code as required by Item 16B of Form 20-F. We have posted our code of ethics on our website.
|
Description of significant differences
|
|
Listed foreign private issuers must disclose any significant ways in which their corporate governance practices differ from those followed by domestic companies under NYSE listing standards.
|
This table contains the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards.
|
CEO certification
|
|
Each listed company CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards, qualifying the certification to the extent necessary.
|
As a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with this rule; however, our Chief Executive Officer provides certifications under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
|
Each listed company CEO must promptly notify the NYSE in writing after any executive officer of the listed company becomes aware of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A.
|
We intend to comply with this requirement.
|
Each listed company must submit an executed Written Affirmation annually to the NYSE. In addition, each listed company must submit an interim Written Affirmation each time a change occurs to the board or any of the committees subject to Section 303A. The annual and interim Written Affirmations must be in the form specified by the NYSE.
|
We have complied with this requirement to date and intend to continue to comply going forward.
|
Website
|
|
Listed companies must have and maintain a publicly accessible website
|
We have and maintain a publicly accessible website.
