<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Market Review:</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (&#147;TAIEX&#148;) increased by 4.41% in U.S. Dollar terms in December. Local institutions, proprietary traders and foreign investors net bought NT$4.81&nbsp;billion, NT$13.83&nbsp;billion and NT$16.17&nbsp;billion, respectively. The
tourism and financial sectors outperformed relative to the TAIEX, with an increase of 24.30% and 10.53% month-over-month (&#147;MoM&#148;) in NT dollar terms, respectively. On the other hand, the plastic and glass sectors underperformed and declined 9.45%
and 7.33% MoM in NT dollar terms, respectively. On the economic front, Taiwan&#146;s Consumer Price Index (&#147;CPI&#148;) in November rose 3.52% year-over-year (&#147;YoY&#148;). The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 4.64% in November, 0.27% higher than the
previous month. According to Customs&#146; records, Taiwan&#146;s exports in November decreased by 23.3% YoY to US$16.78&nbsp;billion, negative for the third consecutive month. Export orders in November were down by 28.51% YoY.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Fund Performance Review:</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Taiwan Fund, Inc. (the &#147;Fund&#148;) underperformed its benchmark by 0.45% in December. An overweight position in the TFT-LCD sector and an underweight position in the petrochemical sector contributed positively to the Fund&#146;s performance, while an
overweight position in the operator sector and an underweight position in the banking sector negatively contributed to the Fund&#146;s performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Investment Strategy:</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In December, we saw trend reversal as investors became less responsive to bad news on aggressive policy measures. Also, trend reversal in particular took place in sector allocation, and investors began to show greater risk appetite for the strong
rally of AU Optronics (&#147;AUO&#148;) and the weak performance of the telecoms. Despite the trend, we believe that the TAIEX has no catalysts to sustain a bull run, due to earnings disappointments and the possible outbreak of a major credit event. The
near-term benefits brought about by the recently inked cross-strait agreements are not likely to wholly offset the impact of the global slowdown on Taiwan&#146;s economy. Because fundamentals remain poor and the traditional weak season is approaching,
tech shares are likely to stay range bound in the near term. Hence, we choose to stay with our defensive position. In terms of sector allocation, we remain slightly overweight in defensive technology (i.e. operators) and underweight in cyclicals
and financials.
