The Company has a policy to pay dividends to shareholders at a rate of not less than 40 percent of the Company's net profit after deducting taxes and legal reserves and other reserves (if any) as specified in the Company's regulations and by law, unless there is no other necessity. However, the payment of dividends will not have a significant impact on the Company's normal operations.

However, the payment of such dividend may be subject to change. It will depend on the operating results, financial position, liquidity, the need for working capital for operations, investment plans and future business expansion, market conditions, appropriateness and other factors related to the Company's operations and management. Subject to the condition that the Company must have sufficient cash for its operations and such operations must result in the highest benefit to shareholders as the Board of Directors and/or the Company's shareholders deem appropriate. The resolution of the Board of Directors approving the payment of dividends must be proposed for approval at the shareholders' meeting, except for interim dividend payments, which the Board of Directors has the authority to approve the payment of interim dividends and report to the shareholders' meeting at the next meeting.
