Dividend Policy and Earnings Distribution
Dividend policy
If the Company has fiscal year-end earnings, they shall be utilized for the following uses, in order: tax payments, deficit reduction, the legal reserve, and the special reserve; the balance, if any, shall be the distributable earnings of the current year, which, combined with the beginning undistributed earnings and the reversals of special reserves prescribed by laws, shall be the accumulated distributable earnings; the balance shall first be used to distribute the preferred share dividends and then to distribute the common share dividends and bonus. The Board of Directors shall draft an earnings distribution proposal and have it passed by resolution at a shareholders’ meeting before distribution, modification and retention.
The Company, in aiming for continued growth and increasing profitability in accordance with the provisions of the relevant laws, adopts a residual dividend policy. According to the Company’s operating plan, common shareholder dividends and bonuses shall be distributed in the following manner:
- In principle, the distribution of the annual common shareholder dividends and bonus shall not constitute less than 20% of the distributable earnings of the current year minus the preferred share dividends.
- The common shareholder dividends and bonus may be distributed in cash and/or stock; the cash dividend shall not be less than 10% of the total dividend.
For the abovementioned dividend distribution policy, the Board of Directors may propose a shareholders’ meeting resolution to appropriately adjust the cash dividend distribution ratio according to the operations of the Company, reinvestment and acquisition fund demands, and major changes in the law, but not to less than 1% of the total dividend. The Company may retain cash dividends that are less than NT$0.1 per share.
