The Directors

Directors of TAI-TECH(Starting from 2025.05.23)

---

1. On September 17, 2020, the board of the company's directors approved the formulation of "The  Best Practice Principles on Corporative Governance". In Chapter 3(Enhancing the Functions of the Board) Section 1, Article 20, a board diversity policy is proposed.
The nomination and the selection of the board members follow the articles of incorporation. A candidate nomination system is used, as well as evaluating each candidate's academic and professional qualifications. The opinions of our stakeholders are also considered.
Compliance with the "Director Selection Procedures" and the "The Best Practice Principles on Corporative Governance " is ensured to maintain diversity and independence among board members.

 

2. The board diversity policy stated in "The Best Practice Principles on Corporative Governance " serves as a concrete management objective:
The structure of the board should consider the scale of the company's operations and its major shareholders’ holdings, and based on practical needs, determine an appropriate number of board seats—more than five.
The composition of the board should aim for diversity. Directors who concurrently serve as managers of the company should not exceed one-third of the total seats.
A suitable diversity policy should be developed based on the company's operations, business model, and development needs. This should include, but not be limited to, the following two major dimensions:

(1) Basic attributes and values: such as gender, age, nationality, and culture. The ratio of female directors should ideally reach one-third of the total board seats.
(2) Professional knowledge and skills: including professional backgrounds (e.g., law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing, or technology), professional skills, and industry experience. Board members should generally possess the knowledge, skills, and literacy required to perform their duties.

 

To achieve the ideal goals of corporate governance, the Board as a whole should possess the following capabilities:
A. Operational judgment.
B. Accounting and financial analysis.
C. Business management.
D. Crisis management.
E. Industry knowledge.
F. International market insight.
G. Leadership.
H. Decision-making.

 

The company's board members have already implemented the diversity policy regarding basic attributes, values, professional knowledge, and skills.

 

3. Among the 9 members of the 14th Board of Directors, those strong in operational judgment, business management, leadership, decision-making, and crisis management—and possessing industry knowledge and international market insight—include Directors Hsieh Ming-Yen, Hsieh Yu-Yu-Hsiang, CHEN CHIN SHENG, Lin Chien-Jung, Huang Kuei-Kuang, Hung Chih-Cheng, and Independent Director Lee Yu-Tsun. Independent Director Shen Yang-Bin has expertise in accounting and finance, while Independent Director Chiang Yi-Chun has a legal background. Beyond their specialties in finance and law, these two independent directors have made significant contributions to corporate governance matters. The company has no directors concurrently serving as managers. There is one foreign director. There are 3 independent directors, accounting for 33% of the Board. One independent director has served for at least 10 years while another two have served at least 4 years. 3 of the directors are between 51–60, with another 2 being 61–70, and another 4 being 71–80 years old. The Company also emphasizes gender equality in the composition of the Board. Currently, there are 2 female directors, accounting for 22%. Although this does not yet meet the one-third target, the Company continues to work towards this goal.

Currently, the proportion of our female directors is less than one-third. The main reason is that the selection of our directors was used to  prioritize on professional competence and experience, which is influenced by the gender distribution within the industry’s talent pool. The company recognizes the importance of female directors enhancing our board diversity, and will actively promote and increase female participants on the board in the future, including expanding the pool of director candidates and setting specific targets.

In terms of age diversity, the current directors fall in a wide range of ages, including both mid-career and senior individuals, ensuring a balance between experience and innovative perspectives. As for nationality and cultural diversity, the board is currently composed mainly of domestic directors. We will gradually increase the number of directors having international backgrounds in line with our globally development needs.

 

Educational Training

We offer 6 hours of additional education for our directors every year, with at least one educational session on regulations related to the prevention of insider trading for current directors and managers. This is to assist them in acquiring the professional knowledge required for their duty performance."
