<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board of Directors proposed the capital reduction and associated cash distribution as another action to help further improve the Company&#146;s capital
structure, while at the same time rewarding shareholders and enhancing the return on equity of the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>What is the process for the capital
reduction and associated cash distribution? </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The capital reduction will result in a decrease in the Company&#146;s share capital by partial
cancellation of issued common shares. The capital reduction is subject to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">thirty-day</FONT> waiting period (counting from the publication of the notice to creditors of the Company regarding approval of capital
reduction by the shareholders&#146; meeting) to safeguard the interest of creditors, the approval of Taiwan&#146;s Financial Supervisory Commission regarding the capital reduction, and to the Board of Directors&#146; subsequent resolution to carry
out the capital reduction. </P>
