Other Matters to be Clarified (If the entity involved in the event or resolution is a publicly issued company or above, this major information simultaneously meets the criteria under Article 7, Paragraph 9 of the Enforcement Rules of the Securities and Exchange Act regarding matters that significantly affect shareholder rights or securities prices):

Century Wind Power (stock code: 2072) and Century Huaxin Wind Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter 'Century Huaxin', stock code: 7752) held a major information press conference today (25th) to announce that both boards have approved Century Wind Power's issuance of new shares to acquire 100% equity in Century Huaxin. Simultaneously, in response to the massive energy infrastructure demand driven by global AI development and semiconductor fab expansions, Century Wind Power's board has resolved to amend its articles of incorporation, proposing to rename the company 'Century Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.', declaring its strategic transformation from a single offshore wind player to a comprehensive energy solutions provider.

The share exchange will be executed through Century Wind Power issuing new shares as consideration, with an exchange ratio of 0.22 shares of Century Wind Power common stock for every 1 share of Century Huaxin common stock. Century Wind Power plans to issue a total of 44,000 thousand new shares, representing approximately 18.64% of the post-issuance total shares. Both parties plan to convene an extraordinary shareholders' meeting on August 12, 2026 (Minguo 115) to discuss the share exchange and company name change proposals simultaneously. After approval by both shareholders' meetings and relevant regulatory authorities, the share exchange benchmark date is tentatively set for December 31, 2026 (Minguo 115). Upon completion, Century Huaxin will become a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of the company and will cease trading on the TPEx and stop public issuance in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and the Taiwan Stock Exchange's Over-the-Counter (OTC) Center rules.

Century Wind Power is a core manufacturing and delivery platform for offshore wind substructures, possessing extensive heavy-lift terminal facilities at 'Taibei Port' and its proprietary patented heavy-lift equipment, the 'Century Qintian Tower'. Century Huaxin, based at 'Taichung Port', specializes in manufacturing key tubular components, piles, and wind turbine towers for offshore wind foundations. This upstream-downstream integration will enable Century Wind Power to fully leverage the dual-port advantages of 'Taibei Port' and 'Taichung Port'. Synergies are expected in key component control, raw material joint procurement, production scheduling optimization, quality control, and engineering management, comprehensively enhancing the efficiency of large-scale offshore wind project bidding and execution, aiming to strengthen international competitiveness and lay a solid foundation for entering the Asia-Pacific market.

With a focus on the massive power demand brought by the booming AI infrastructure development, Century Wind Power's future business positioning will no longer be limited to offshore wind. The proposed name change to 'Century Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.' reflects this strategic shift. The company will leverage its expertise in marine-grade heavy steel structures and deep-water port advantages, combined with its core precision welding technology, to gradually expand its business into diverse energy equipment fields, striving to become a leading comprehensive energy equipment supplier in the Asia-Pacific region.

Looking ahead, embracing the energy transition opportunity driven by the AI wave, Century Wind Power will actively pursue three growth engines: First, deepening the Taiwan market: leveraging the integrated dual-port production capacity and vertical integration advantages to secure a larger order share within Taiwan's offshore wind supply chain. Second, expanding overseas business: continuously improving operational efficiency and international competitiveness to target offshore wind opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region. Third, expanding into comprehensive energy: building on existing core strengths to pursue diverse energy infrastructure opportunities, aiming to transform into a globally leading 'comprehensive energy equipment manufacturer' by 2035.
