2022 Business Performance

In 2022, the global political and economic situation changed dramatically, including the Russia- Ukraine War, price inflation of major economies, etc., which led to a sharp increase in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve Bank and tightening of monetary policies in European countries. In particular, because the global economic was in recession in the second half of the year, and many countries faced a risk of stagflation, in combination with the decline in demand for terminal electronic products in the post-pandemic era, semiconductor supply chains entered an inventory adjustment period due to the previous over-ordering of downstream manufacturers. However, the application scope of semiconductors has not decreased but is still increasing, so basic demand can be maintained and is supported by emerging application demands. The Group continued to make efforts to serve upstream and downstream manufacturers in the industry chain. Because the Group not only faced continuous pressure from supply chain destocking, but also faced pressure from inflation and financial cost rising after the dividend era of the previous stay-at-home economy and once chip shortage had passed, the Group's consolidated sales revenue and net profit before tax reached approximately NTD 70.2 billion and NTD 2.3 billion in 2022, respectively, representing a decrease of 2.93% and 4.94% year-on-year, respectively, and the gross margin of 7.81% and the operating income margin of 3.88% increased by 0.68% and 0.39% year-on-year, respectively.

Commitment to Sustainable Development

With the 45th anniversary of our establishment, facing the uncertainty of climate change, economic turbulence in 2022, and geopolitical and other factors, Weikeng Group will continue to actively study and improve its sustainable operation, hoping to maintain its business performance and take into account the needs of all stakeholders in this uncertain market. As a member of the semiconductor industry chain, Weikeng hopes to continue to contribute to the Group's resources, work with upstream and downstream partners to jointly build a green and sustainable supply chain for semiconductors, and strive to reduce environmental impacts and comply with social laws and regulations.

In 2022, through the risk management team under the Sustainable Development Committee, the Company began to promote the TCFD project plan. The Company referred to the structure disclosed in the TCFD to strengthen the governance structure of opportunities and risks associated with climate change, hoping to take a deep look at and grasp the opportunities and risks brought to the business by climate change. At the same time, with the trend of global net zero emissions, Weikeng introduced the ISO-14064 Greenhouse Gas Accounting and Verification Standards, and established an internal greenhouse gas accounting and verification team, and will successively establish a complete greenhouse gas accounting and verification management procedure and optimize the organization's internal processes and systems to facilitate the planning of sustainability-related investment and disclosure standards in the mid-long term.

In addition to strengthening the risk management and governance structure of climate change, the Company considers climate change as an important strategy to maintain its economic performance. Because energy conservation and carbon reduction have become the main demand for electronic and electrical products, the Company will continue to pay attention to the potential risks and opportunities of climate change for an enterprise at present and in the future, actively cooperate with the upstream vendors, and understand the demand of downstream manufacturers at the application end, continue

2/37

to invest more resources in demand creation for relevant application solutions, such as power management, electric vehicle charging piles, smart grid, wind power generation, solar power generation inverters, etc., all of which are green business opportunities. In recent years, upstream vendors have more actively expanded research and development resources invested in compound/group III semiconductor products. The Company will also continue to invest resources into the automotive/electric vehicle and industrial energy-related markets to develop product solutions with low energy consumption and high power. It is expected that the Company will make its own efforts to develop energy-saving and carbon reduction products to support the development of the green energy industry.

In the past year, more Weikeng colleagues devoted themselves to work related to sustainability and actively participated in public welfare activities, which not only enhanced the centripetal force of the organization and team, but also connected the ESG strength within the organization, so that colleagues can make their own efforts to give back to the community. In addition to the participation of colleagues, the Company continues to sponsor environmental protection issues, education, sports resources, research institutions, etc., to cultivate scientific and technological talents in response to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).In January 2023, the Board of Directors adopted a revision to the Company's "Directors and Employees (including Executive Officers) Emolument Policy", and established reasonable guidance on the connection between the individual salary and compensation arrangements of directors and employees (including executive officers) and the Company's operation and financial performance, investment in and contribution to sustainable development, and risk management, etc., so as to carry out business with ethical corporate management, corporate governance, and promotion for sustainable development.

The Company is committed to fulfilling its corporate social responsibility and following international trends. In addition to actively addressing the concerns of our stakeholders regarding environmental, social, and corporate governance issues, we furthermore carry out practical risk assessment and undertake countermeasures in order to strengthen the goals of corporate governance and sustainable operations.

2023 Business Outlook

In 2023, the world will still face the risk of stagflation. It is predicted that the overall semiconductor industry will decline slightly, and the problem of destocking in the industry chain will continue. In addition, geopolitical factors and aggravated inflation will adversely affect the demand for terminal electronic products, and the rising of interest rates will lead to an increase in financing costs, etc. However, 2023 will also be the starting year of the "Post-COVID Pandemic Era". Governments of all countries have launched various policies to stimulate consumption, and hope to stir up a rebooting of the economy, so Weikeng will still adhere to stable operation and risk management strengthening as the primary issue in 2023.In the aspect of business development, as geopolitics also promote regionalized division of the supply chain, the Company will review and adjust its strategies of business development, continuously grasp the needs of and provide technical support to vendors and customers, and expects the management team to lead all colleagues to strictly abide by the risk management system, optimize operation and capital efficiency, and adhere to the goals of integrity, sustainable operation, and stable operation under a stable operation mode, to create higher value for all stakeholders.

At present, Weikeng has been franchised many brands of semiconductor components, including many brands of semiconductor integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) or IC design companies, such

as AMD, Amazon, Cypress, Infineon, Lattice, Microchip, Molex, NXP, Sinopower, Vishay, Western Digital, etc. In 2022, the Group obtained new franchises for a total of 9 vendors. In 2023, we will continue to develop and find new products and new application solutions in the semiconductor market, continue to seek new cooperation opportunities for franchises, and in the face of legal restrictions on the supply of products from European and American systems to China, continue to strengthen the product portfolio, expand the product portfolio involved in the supply chain, improve the core competitiveness of the Group, create new customer needs, and expect to assist customers in responding to geopolitical adjustments. At present, in the application fields of industrial electronics, automotive electronics, mobile communications, consumer electronics, computer peripheral equipment, AI/5G, etc., all regional companies affiliated with the Group have the ability to provide customers with competitive spare parts, technical support services, and efficient supply chain management services, so as to achieve a technology connection between the upstream vendors and downstream customers through the Group as an intermediator, and create value with a three-win situation.
