Dividend Policy

The company's dividend policy, as stipulated in the company's articles of association, takes into consideration the company's operations in the high-tech computer and internet-related industry, which is in the growth phase of the corporate lifecycle. In line with the overall environment and industry growth characteristics, and with the goal of achieving sustainable business operations and pursuing long-term shareholder stability and performance, the company's dividend policy must consider factors such as the current and future investment environment, capital requirements, domestic and international competitive conditions, and capital budgeting. It also aims to balance the interests of shareholders with long-term financial planning for the company.

Each year, the Board of Directors shall propose a distribution plan, which shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting. The distribution of earnings may be in the form of cash dividends or stock dividends, with the proportion of stock dividends not exceeding fifty percent of the total dividends. The company shall allocate profits after deducting employee compensation and director remuneration from the pre-tax profits of the current year. If there is a surplus after compensating for accumulated losses, the company shall allocate a portion for employee compensation of not less than five percent and director remuneration of not more than one percent.

In the event of a surplus in the company's annual financial statements, taxes and donations shall be paid in accordance with the law, and after compensating for accumulated losses, ten percent of the remaining profits shall be set aside as statutory surplus. However, when the statutory surplus reaches the company's paid-up capital, no further allocation is required. The remaining profits shall be allocated or reversed according to legal regulations, and if there is still a surplus, it shall be distributed as dividends, along with any accumulated undistributed profits, subject to the proposal of the Board of Directors and the resolution of the shareholders' meeting.

In the case of employee compensation, whether in the form of stocks or cash, eligible employees of subsidiary companies may also be included as recipients.
