A copy of the Scheme of Arrangement and a copy of an explanatory statement explaining the effect of the Scheme of Arrangement are incorporated in the composite scheme document of which this Notice forms part. A copy of the composite scheme document can also be obtained by the Independent Shareholders from the Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong. A copy of the composite scheme document can be obtained by the holders of the Taiwan depository receipts from 7/F., No. 85, Sec. 2, Nanjing E. Rd., Zhongshan Dist., Taipei City 104, Taiwan (Republic of China).

Independent Shareholders may vote in person at the Court Meeting or they may appoint another person (who must be an individual), whether a member of the Company or not, to attend, speak and vote in their stead. A pink form of proxy for use at the Court Meeting (or any adjournment thereof) is enclosed with the composite scheme document dated 14 August 2020 despatched to, among others, the Independent Shareholders on 14 August 2020. Completion and return of the pink form of proxy will not prevent an Independent Shareholder from attending and voting at the Court Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, in person if he/she wishes to do so and in such event, the pink form of proxy previously submitted shall be deemed to have been revoked by operation of law.

In the case of Independent Shareholders jointly holding ordinary shares of HK$0.01 par value each in the share capital of the Company (the "Shares"), any one of such persons may vote at the Court Meeting, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such Share as if he/she was solely entitled thereto. However, if more than one of such joint holders be present at the Court Meeting personally or by proxy, that one of the said persons so present being the most or, as the case may be, the more senior shall alone be entitled to vote in respect of the relevant joint holding of the Shares. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by reference to the order in which the names of the joint holders stand on the Register of Members of the Company in respect of such joint holding of the Shares, the first named Independent Shareholder being the senior.

It is requested that pink form appointing proxies be deposited at the Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company in Hong Kong at Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong not later than 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, 12 September 2020, but if forms are not so lodged they may be handed to the chairman of the Court Meeting at the Court Meeting before the taking of the poll and the chairman of the Court Meeting should have absolute discretion whether or not to accept them.

By the Order, the Court has appointed Lin Chun Yu, a director of the Company, or failing him, Lin Ching Ching, also a director of the Company, or failing her, any other person who is a director of the Company as at the date of the Court Meeting, to act as the chairman of the Court Meeting and has directed the chairman of the Court Meeting to report the results of the Court Meeting to the Court.
