2. Type of meeting (Board of Directors / Audit Committee / Compensation Committee): Board of Directors

3. Name and resume of the independent director or committee member who expressed opposition or reservation: Mr. Yang Chia-Hsing / Independent Director, Kuo Piao Financial Holding Co., Ltd.

5. Statement of opposition or reservation by the independent director or committee member: Independent Director Yang Chia-Hsing: Opposed

The proposal contains significant flaws as it violates regulations and internal rules of Kuo Piao Financial Holding in procedure. It is recommended that the review of this proposal be postponed. Proceeding with the review under these circumstances risks the resolution being deemed invalid or revoked later, which would result in damages far exceeding the procedural and substantive costs of delaying the review. Therefore, I oppose reviewing this proposal at this meeting and recommend postponing its deliberation.

6. Countermeasures: None

7. Other matters to be disclosed: 1. The proposal was approved by vote with 11 votes in favor and 3 opposed. (The chairperson did not participate in the vote.)

2. The company sent the board meeting notice and agenda materials on June 15, 2026, and supplemented candidate-related information on June 17 for directors’ review. After discussion, the board concluded that the provided materials were sufficient for directors to exercise their duties and conduct deliberations. Considering the imminent schedule of the 13th director election at Kuo Piao Securities’ annual general meeting on June 26, 2026, the board proceeded with discussion and voting according to the agenda.
