(Concluded)
| 1) | The Company owns 28.93% equity shares of SENAO. Chunghwa had originally four out of seven seats of the Board of Directors of SENAO through the support of large beneficial stockholders. In order to comply with the local regulations, SENAO increased two seats of independent directors in June 2016; therefore, total seats of its Board of Directors increased to nine and Chunghwa continues to hold four out of nine seats of the Board of Directors. As Chunghwa remains the control over SENAO’s relevant activities, the accounts of SENAO are included in the consolidated financial statements.
| 2) | Chunghwa and CHI disposed some shares of CHIEF in June 2017 before CHIEF traded its shares on the emerging stock market according to the local requirements. The Company’s equity ownership of CHIEF decreased to 70.43% as of December 31, 2017. CHIEF issued new shares in March 2018 as its employees exercised their options. The Company’s equity ownership decreased to 69.31% on March 31, 2018.
| 3) | Chunghwa International Yellow Pages Co., Ltd changed its name to CHYP Multimedia Marketing & Communications Co., Ltd starting from September 4, 2017.
| 4) | Chunghwa invested 75% equity shares of Chunghwa Leading Photonics Tech Co., Ltd. (“CLPT”) in July 2016.
| 5) | Chunghwa invested 100% equity shares of Chunghwa Telecom (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (“CHTT”) in March 2017.
| 6) | Chunghwa invested 80% equity shares of CHT Security Co., Ltd. (“CHTSC”) in December 2017.
| 7) | New Prospect was approved to dissolve its business in April 2017. The liquidation of New Prospect was completed in May 2017.
| 8) | SENAO invested 100% equity shares of SENYOUNG Insurance Agent Co., Ltd. (“SENYOUNG”) in November 2017.
| 9) | Concord was approved to end and dissolve its business in August 2017. The liquidation of Concord was completed in January 2018.
| 10) | CEI’s liquidation was completed in August 2016 and SHE received the proceeds from the liquidation.
| 11) | CHI disposed of some shares of CHPT in March 2016. Furthermore, CHI did not participate in the capital increase of CHPT in March 2016 and September 2017. Therefore, its ownership interest in CHPT decreased to 38.30%. However, considering absolute and relative size of ownership interest, and the dispersion of shares owned by the other stockholders, the management concluded that the Company has a sufficiently dominant voting interest to direct the relevant activities; hence, CHPT is deemed as a subsidiary of the Company.
| 1 2) | CIHC’s dissolution was approved in August 2016 and the liquidation was completed in September 2016. CHI received the proceeds from the liquidation.
| 1 3) | GNSS (Shanghai) completed its liquidation in August 2017 and Concord received the proceeds from the liquidation.
| 1 4) | COI completed its liquidation in July 2016 and CIHC received the proceeds from the liquidation.
| 1 5) | SEITS was approved to end and dissolve its business in March 2017. The liquidation of SEITS was completed in March 2018.
| 1 6) | JZIT was approved to end and dissolve its business in May 2016. The liquidation of JZIT is still in process.
| 1 7) | SITJ was approved to end and dissolve its business in April 2018. The liquidation of SITJ is still in process.
| 1 8) | LED invested 60% equity shares of Taoyuan Asia Silicon Valley Innovation Co., Ltd. (“TASVI”) in March 2018.
