| | On July 10, 2026, ProjectNY, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("Merger Sub"), and Perfect Corp., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Issuer" or the "Company"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer surviving the Merger as the surviving company (the "Surviving Company"). Merger Sub is an entity controlled by the Chairwoman Parties and was formed solely for purposes of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Class A ordinary share, par value 0.10 per share, and each Class B ordinary share, par value US$0.10 per share, of the Issuer, other than Dissenting Shares, Continuing Shares and Excluded Shares, will be cancelled and cease to exist in consideration for the right to receive US$2.00 in cash per Share, without interest. The Continuing Shares held by the Reporting Persons and CyberLink International Technology Corp. ("CyberLink International") will not be cancelled in the Merger and will remain outstanding and continue to exist without interruption as ordinary shares of the Surviving Company, and the holders of such Continuing Shares will not receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of such Continuing Shares.
The Reporting Persons do not expect to expend funds to purchase additional Shares in connection with the Merger. The cash consideration payable to holders of Shares entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, together with other amounts payable in connection with the Merger, is expected to be funded through available cash of the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Ms. Chang has delivered a Limited Guarantee in favor of the Issuer to guarantee certain payment obligations of Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth therein.
The information set forth in or incorporated by reference in Item 4 of this statement is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. |

("DVDonet") and World Speed Company Limited ("World Speed" and, together with Ms. Chang, Golden Edge and DVDonet, the "Chairwoman Parties"), and CyberLink International entered into a consortium agreement (the "Consortium Agreement") in connection with a proposed going-private transaction involving the Issuer. In connection with the Consortium Agreement, the Chairwoman Parties and CyberLink International submitted a preliminary non-binding proposal, dated March 18, 2026 (the "Proposal"), to the Issuer's board of directors to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Issuer not owned by them for US$1.95 per ordinary share in cash.
On July 10, 2026, the Chairwoman Parties and CyberLink International entered into a Termination Agreement (the "Consortium Termination Agreement"), pursuant to which the Consortium Agreement was terminated in its entirety and ceased to be of further force or effect. The Consortium Termination Agreement provides that, as of the date thereof, no party has any further rights or obligations under the Consortium Agreement and that CyberLink International will have no obligations with respect to the Transaction except as expressly set forth in the CyberLink Support Agreement (as defined below), the Consortium Termination Agreement or any other written agreement to which CyberLink International is a party in connection with the Transaction.
On July 10, 2026, Merger Sub and the Issuer entered into the Merger Agreement.

At the Effective Time, each Share, other than Dissenting Shares, Continuing Shares and Excluded Shares, will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive US$2.00 in cash per Share, without interest. Each Continuing Share will not be cancelled in the Merger and will remain outstanding and continue to exist without interruption as one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share of the Surviving Company. The Continuing Shares held by the Chairwoman Parties and CyberLink International will constitute all of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Surviving Company immediately after the Effective Time. The Merger Agreement also provides for, among other things, the treatment of Company Options, Company Warrants and Company Earnout Shares, the delisting of the Issuer's Class A ordinary shares from the New York Stock Exchange and the deregistration of the Issuer's equity securities under the Act.
On July 10, 2026, as an inducement to the Issuer's willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Chairwoman Parties entered into a Voting and Support Agreement with Merger Sub (the "Chairwoman Support Agreement"). Pursuant to the Chairwoman Support Agreement, each Chairwoman Party agreed, among other things, (i) to vote all of its or her Securities in favor of the authorization and approval of the Merger Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions, including the Merger, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (ii) to vote against certain competing or inconsistent transactions or actions, (iii) to comply with certain restrictions on transfers of its or her Securities, (iv) to waive appraisal or dissenters' rights with respect to its or her Securities and (v) that its or her Continuing Shares will not be cancelled in the Merger and will remain outstanding and continue to exist without interruption as ordinary shares of the Surviving Company. The Chairwoman Support Agreement provides that the Chairwoman Parties will receive no cash consideration for their Continuing Shares.
On July 10, 2026, as an inducement to the Issuer's willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, CyberLink International entered into a separate Voting and Support Agreement with Merger Sub (the "CyberLink Support Agreement" and, together with the Chairwoman Support Agreement, the "Support Agreements").

The CyberLink Support Agreement provides that CyberLink International will receive no cash consideration for its Continuing Shares.
On July 10, 2026, Ms. Chang entered into a limited guarantee in favor of the Issuer (the "Limited Guarantee"), pursuant to which Ms. Chang guaranteed the due and punctual payment, observance, performance and discharge of certain payment obligations of Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement, including the Merger Sub Termination Fee and certain related collection costs and expenses, subject to the cap and other limitations set forth in the Limited Guarantee.
If the Merger is completed, the Issuer's Class A ordinary shares would be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, and the Issuer's obligation to file periodic reports under the Act would terminate. In addition, consummation of the Merger may result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including the acquisition or disposition of securities of the Issuer, a merger or other extraordinary transaction involving the Issuer, a change to the board of directors of the Issuer, and changes to the Issuer's memorandum and articles of association to reflect that the Issuer would become a privately held company.
