1. Summary of "tok Medium-Term Plan 2021 (FY2019-FY2021)"

Successfully returned to a growth trajectory amid rapidly changing external environment

The company-wide policy of tok Medium-Term Plan 2021 which started in 2019 was to "aim to become an Only One, Number One Company" to differentiate from other companies and to achieve the numerical targets for our "overarching aspiration for 2020" in the final year of the Plan. However, the external environment had changed drastically over the three years subject to tok Medium-Term Plan 2021 (from 2019 to 2021).

2019: Escalation of the U.S.-China trade friction/year-on-year contraction of semiconductor market (calendar year basis)

2020: COVID-19 pandemic

2021: Semiconductor shortage/COP26

Under such circumstances, net sales achieved the higher end of the target range and both operating income and ROE exceeded their respective targets.
