III. Board Diversity Objectives and Achievement Status
| Management Objective | Achievement Status |
| Directors concurrently serving as company officers shall not exceed one-third of the total number of the Board | Met |
| The number of independent directors accounts for one-third of the Board seats | Met |
| At least half of the independent directors shall not have served for more than three consecutive terms | Met |
| The Board shall include at least one female director (Note) | Met |
| Diverse industry experience and professional background/competencies (at least two seats per category) | Met |
| At least three Board members shall be younger than 60 years old | Met |
Note: The selection of the Company’s board members is primarily based on their professional backgrounds and skills, independence, and the Company’s development needs. However, due to the characteristics of the technology industry, the Board is predominantly composed of male members. Among the current eight directors, seven are male and one is female, and therefore the Board is temporarily unable to meet the requirement that either gender accounts for at least one-third of the seats. The Company aims to appoint at least one female director in the next board election and will continue to increase the proportion of female directors in line with its operational and development plans to further implement its board diversity policy.
