In the next Board of Directors re-election, the proportion of directors who are also employees of the company or affiliated companies will be reviewed and adjusted to reduce the number of such directors to less than one-third, so as to reduce the risk of potential conflicts of interest, strengthen the decision-making independence and supervision effectiveness of the board of directors, and improve the governance structure and comply with the regulations. |
| (2) Inclusion of directors of either gender reaching one-third of the seats. |
Not Achieved, currently the board has 1 female director. Considering the current company development, it is planned to evaluate a candidate list three years later based on company needs, business considerations, risk management, and balanced professional backgrounds, aiming to meet gender diversity management objectives. |
| (3) The professional background of the members should encompass business management, financial accounting, legal, and risk management. | Achieved, among the current board members: 4 risk management professionals, 6 business management majors, and 1 financial accountant with various backgrounds. |
The current board of the Company is consisted of 7 directors, including 3 directors with employee status and 3 independent directors.
The Company focuses on gender equality in the composition of the Board of Directors and aims to increase the number of female directors to more than one-third (33%), while current board is with 6 male member (86%) and 1 female (14%).
