Succession planning for members of the Board of Directors and implementation status
The Company's directors are elected under a candidate nomination system. At present, there are 9 directors (including 4 independent directors). Based on the educational backgrounds and experience of the directors, they already cover the management expertise required for Company operations, including industry, finance and accounting, legal affairs, and technology. In the future, the composition structure and members' experience backgrounds of the Company's Board of Directors will continue the current structure.
Regarding the succession planning for the Board of Directors, there are currently several senior managers within the Group who possess the management capabilities and professional capabilities required to serve as directors. At the same time, the Company will also seek professional talent externally as preparation for director succession planning. As for independent directors, they are required by law to have the work experience needed in commerce, legal affairs, finance, accounting, or Company business. There is no shortage of such professionals in Taiwan, and in the future, the list of director candidates will continue to be enriched through multiple channels in industry and academia.
Succession planning for key management and implementation status
The Company's employees at the assistant manager level and above are key management. Each member of management has a job deputy. To cultivate key management and their job deputies, the Company holds internal and external training courses from time to time to enhance management's judgment, management capabilities, and decision-making quality; this ensures that each department has experienced senior personnel capable of assuming the important responsibilities of future successors, reserves talent through multiple channels, and increases the Company's flexibility in deployment. The Company also uses the performance evaluation system to assess and review suitable future successors for the Company, preparing the high-quality human resources needed for the Company's long-term development.
