Articles of Incorporation regulatory

"Approved amendments to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company."

A formal legal document filed with a government authority that creates a corporation and sets its basic rules — for example the company name, business purpose, how many ownership shares can exist, and who can receive legal notices. It matters to investors because it defines ownership structure, voting rights, and limits on liability, shaping who controls the company and how future shares or dividends can affect an investor’s stake; think of it as the company’s birth certificate and rulebook.

Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets regulatory

"Approved amendments to the Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets."

non-competition restrictions regulatory

"Approved release of non-competition restrictions on Directors."

independent director financial

"Independent Directors: Yi- Chin Tu, Jer-Liang Yeh and Ikujin Ko"

An independent director is a member of a company's board of directors who is not involved in the company's day-to-day operations and has no significant relationships with the company that could influence their judgment. Their role is to provide unbiased oversight and ensure the company is managed in the best interests of all shareholders. This helps build trust and confidence among investors by promoting transparency and accountability.
