Professionalism and independence of the Board of Directors

To achieve the ideal goal of corporate governance, the Board of Directors shall possess the following abilities:
- Ability to make operational judgments.
- Ability to perform accounting and financial analysis.
- Ability to conduct management administration.
- Ability to conduct crisis management.
- Knowledge of the industry.
- An international market perspective
- Ability to lead.
- Ability to make policy decisions.
Diversity of Board of Directors
The composition of the Board of Directors shall be determined by taking diversity into consideration and formulating an appropriate policy on diversity based on the company's business operations, operating dynamics, and development needs. It is advisable that the policy include, without being limited to, the following two general standards:
Ⅰ. Basic requirements and values: Gender, age, nationality, and culture;
Ⅱ. Professional knowledge and skills: A professional background (e.g., law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing, or technology), professional skills, and industry experience.
VisEra's Board of Directors consists of seven distinguished members. The Company places emphasis on diversifying the composition of its Board of Directors, including four independent directors and only one of them is managerial officer of VisEra. Each board member has professional backgrounds in law, industry, finance, research and development, technology, business management, professional skills and industry experience, etc. to implement the Company's policy of diversifying the composition of the Board of Directors as set forth in the "Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles".
The Company also values gender equality, in that 2 out of the 7 seats of directors are female, constituting 29% of the members of the Board of Directors. Considering the specificity of the semiconductor industry, VisEra hopes to recruit more talents who had work experience in semiconductor industry, served as directors or have different professional abilities to achieve the goal of diversity of the directors.
The composition of the Board of Directors members meets that objective (as shown in the table below). Regarding the dispersion of the age range, 1 director is aged between 41-50 years old, 2 directors are aged between 51-60 years old, 3 directors are aged 61-70 years old, and 1 director is aged 71 - 80 years old. The Board of Directors has an even dispersion of gender and age.
