(Concluded)

a) Chunghwa continues to control six out of eleven seats of the Board of Directors of SENAO through the support of large beneficial stockholders.  As a result, the Company treated SENAO as a subsidiary.

b) CHIEF issued new shares in March 2019, November 2019, March 2020 and December 2020 as its employees exercised options.  Therefore, the Company’s ownership interest in CHIEF decreased to 59.75% and 59.08% as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

c) SHE reduced 19.72% of its capital to offset accumulated deficits in December 2019 and the Company’s ownership interest in SHE remained the same.

d) The Company increased its investment in CHTT proportionally in October 2019 and the Company’s ownership interest in CHTT remained the same.

e) Chunghwa obtained 20.38% ownership interest in IISI in July 2020 and Chunghwa’s ownership interest in IISI increased to 51.54% by considering the previously held ownership interest in IISI.  Chunghwa obtained over half of the seats of the Board of Directors of IISI; therefore, Chunghwa gained control over IISI and treated it as a subsidiary.  IISI issued new shares in September 2020 as its employees exercised options; therefore, the Company’s ownership interest in IISI decreased to 51.20% as of December 31, 2020.

f) SIS reduced and returned its capital to its stakeholders in November 2020.  The Company’s ownership interest in SIS remained the same.

g) SENAO subscribed for all the shares in the capital increase of Youth in April 2020.  Therefore, the Company’s ownership interest in Youth increased from 92.89% to 95.79%.

h) Aval invested 100% equity shares of Wiin Technology Co., Ltd. (“Wiin”) in September 2019.

i) SENYOUNG invested 100% equity shares of Senaolife Insurance Agent Co., Ltd. (“Senaolife”) in November 2019.

j) TASVI completed its liquidation in September 2019.

k) CHIEF has two out of three seats of the Board of Directors of SCT according to the mutual agreements among stockholders and gained control over SCT; hence, SCT is deemed as a subsidiary of the Company.

l) Though the Company’s ownership interest in CHPT is less than 50%, the management considered the absolute and relative size of ownership interest, and the dispersion of shares owned by the other stockholders and 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.

m) SIHK reduced and returned its capital to its stakeholders in November 2020.  The Company’s ownership interest in SIHK remained the same.

n) STF completed its liquidation in May 2019.
