In the event that the Board does not or cannot convene a general meeting, or an Independent Director member of the Audit Committee otherwise finds it necessary for the interests of the Company, the Independent Director may convene a general meeting.

59.

If at any time there are no Directors, any Shareholder or Shareholders holding at least three percent (3%) of the paid up voting share capital of the Company for a period of one year or a longer time may, subject to the approval of the Commission for so long as the Shares are registered in the Emerging Market or listed on the TPEx or TSE, convene a general meeting in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings may be convened by the Directors.

VOTES OF SHAREHOLDERS

72.

Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Share, every Shareholder and every Person representing a Shareholder by proxy shall have one vote for each Share of which he or the Person represented by proxy is the holder. For so long as the Shares are registered in the Emerging Market or listed on the TPEx or TSE, subject to the laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the Applicable Listing Rules, a Shareholder shall not exercise the votes with respect to the Shares he/it holds separately unless he/it holds certain Shares for the benefit of others; the qualifications, scope, methods of exercise, operating procedures and other matters with respect to the exercise of votes separately by the Shareholders shall be in compliance with the Applicable Listing Rules.

73.	No vote may be exercised with respect to any of the following Shares and such Shares shall not be counted in determining the number of issued Shares:

(a)

the Shares held by any subsidiary of the Company, where the total number of voting shares or total shares equity held by the Company in such a subsidiary represents more than one half of the total number of voting shares or the total shares equity of such a subsidiary; or

(b)

the Shares held by another company, where the total number of the shares or total shares equity of that company held by the Company and its subsidiaries directly or indirectly represents more than one half of the total number of voting shares or the total share equity of such a company.

For so long as the Shares are registered in the Emerging Market or listed on the TPEx or TSE, if a Director gives security over more than 50% of the number of Shares (the “Pledged Shares”) he/it held at the time he/it was elected as a Director (the “Initial Shares”), no vote may be exercised with respect to the Shares representing the difference between the Pledged Shares and 50% of the Initial Shares, and such Shares representing the difference between the Pledged Shares and 50% of the Initial Shares shall not be counted in the number of the votes casted by the Shareholders present at the general meeting. The voting restriction referred to in the preceding provision shall also apply to such Shares held by a Person who ceases to be a Director during the period when the Register is closed for transfer for the purpose of the same general meeting.

74.	In the case of joint holders, the joint holders shall select among them a representative for the exercise of their shareholder’s rights and the vote of their representative who tenders a vote whether in person or by proxy shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.

75.	A Shareholder of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction in mental illness, may vote by his committee, or other Person in the nature of a committee appointed by that court, and any such committee or other Person, may vote by proxy.

76.

A Shareholder may appoint a proxy to attend a general meeting on his behalf by executing a proxy prepared by the Company stating therein the scope of power authorized to the proxy. A Shareholder may only execute one proxy and appoint one proxy for each general meeting, and shall serve such written proxy to the Company no later than five (5) days prior to the meeting date. In case the Company receives two or more written proxies from one Shareholder, the first one arriving at the Company shall prevail unless an explicit statement to revoke the previous written proxy is made in the proxy which comes later. In case a Shareholder who has submitted a proxy appointing a person as his or her proxy to attend the general meeting on his or her behalf intends to attend the general meeting in person or to submit his votes by way of a written ballot or by way of electronic transmission, he shall, at least two days prior to the date of the meeting revoke such proxy. If a Shareholder who has submitted a proxy does not submit such a revocation before the prescribed time, the appointment of that person as his or her proxy and the vote casted by that person as his or her proxy shall prevail.

77.	The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in the form approved by the Board and be expressed to be for a particular meeting only.

78.	The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under Seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised. A proxy need not be a Shareholder.

79.

Except for trust enterprises organized under the laws of the ROC or Shareholders’ Service Agents approved by Taiwan competent authorities, when a person who acts as the proxy for two or more Shareholders, the number of votes represented by him shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the total number of votes of the Company and the portion of excessive votes represented by such proxy shall not be counted.

80.

For so long as the Shares are registered in the Emerging Market or listed on the TPEx or TSE, the use and solicitation of proxies shall be in compliance with the Applicable Listing Rules, including but not limited to “Regulations Governing the Use of Proxies for Attendance at Shareholder Meetings of Public Companies”.

81.

A Shareholder cannot exercise his own vote or by proxy on behalf of another Shareholder in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement if he may be interested therein. Such Shares shall not be counted in determining the number of votes of the Shareholders present at the said meeting with regard to such resolution, but such Shares may be counted in determining the number of Shares represented at the meeting for the purposes of determining the quorum.

82.

The votes may be exercised by way of a written ballot or by way of electronic transmission if the method for exercising the votes has been described in the notice of the general meeting. The Company shall adopt the electronic transmission as one of the methods for exercising the votes if so required pursuant to the Applicable Listing Rules. Where the Company allows the votes of the Shareholders to be exercised by way of a written ballot or by way of electronic transmission, it shall have listed all proposals and matters in the notice that general meeting and may not raise any matter by ad hoc motions; the Company shall adopt the candidate nomination mechanism in accordance with the Applicable Listing Rules if the Shareholders will elect directors at such general meeting.

83.

A Shareholder who exercises his votes by way of a written ballot or by way of electronic transmission as set forth in the preceding Article 82 shall be deemed to have, to the extent permitted by the Cayman Islands law and the Applicable Listing Rules, appointed the chairman of the meeting as such Shareholder’s proxy and such appointment shall not be treated as an appointment of any proxy as defined under the Applicable Listing Rules but any Shareholder voting in such manner shall be deemed to waive notice of, and the right to vote in regard to, any ad hoc motion or amendment to the original agenda items to be resolved at the said general meeting, and shall therefore not be entitled to such notice or right to vote. The chairman of the meeting shall vote on behalf of such Shareholders according to their voting instructions. In the event that the chairman of the meeting does not vote on behalf of such Shareholders according to their voting instructions, such votes shall not be counted in determining the number of votes of the Shareholders present at the said meeting provided that such shares may be counted in determining the number of shares of the Shareholders present at such general meeting for the purpose of determining the quorum.

84.

A Shareholder shall submit his vote by way of a written ballot or by way of electronic transmission to the Company no later than the second (2nd) day prior to the scheduled meeting date of the general meeting; whereas if two or more such written ballot or electronic transmission are submitted to the Company, the proxy deemed to be given to the chairman of the general meeting pursuant to Article 82 by the first written ballot or transmission shall prevail unless it is expressly included in the subsequent vote by written ballot or electronic transmission that the original vote submitted by written ballot or electronic transmission be revoked.

85.

In case a Shareholder who has exercised his votes by way of a written ballot or by way of electronic transmission intends to attend the general meeting in person, he shall, at least two days prior to the date of the meeting revoke such vote by written ballot or electronic transmission and such revocation shall constitute a revocation of the proxy deemed to be given to the chairman of the general meeting pursuant to Article 84. If a Shareholder who has submitted his or her vote in writing or by way of electronic transmission pursuant to Article 83 does not submit such a revocation before the prescribed time, his or her vote by written ballot or electronic transmission and the proxy deemed to be given to the chairman of the general meeting pursuant to Article 83 shall prevail.

86.

If a Shareholder has submitted his or her vote in writing or by way of electronic transmission pursuant to Article 83, and has subsequently submitted a proxy appointing a person as his or her proxy to attend the general meeting on his or her behalf, the subsequent appointment of that person as his or her proxy shall be deemed to be a revocation of such Shareholder’s deemed appointment of the chairman of the general meeting as his or her proxy pursuant to Article 83 and the vote casted by that person subsequently appointed as his or her proxy shall prevail.

87.

In case the procedure for convening a general meeting of Members or the method of adopting resolutions is in violation of the Law, Applicable Listing Rules or these Articles, a Shareholder may, within thirty (30) days from the date of the resolution, submit a petition for an appropriate remedy to the court of the Cayman Islands or Taiwan, and if Taiwan, the Taipei District Court as the court of first instance to the extent available under the relevant laws.
