III. Matters for ratification

Proposal No. 1 as proposed by the Board of Directors:

Proposal: Recognize the Company's fiscal 2012 business report and financial statements.

Explanation:

  1. This proposal is made pursuant to Article 230 of the Company Act and Article 35 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.

2.The financial statements of the Company produced on the year 2012 were audited and certified by Chen Li-Qi, CPA and Lai Kwan-Chung, CPA with Deloitte & Touche, Taiwan. The audited financial statements and the books and accounts including the business report and the proposed distribution of earnings were approved on 22 March 2013 by the 16th meeting of the 4th Board of Directors and inspected by the audit committee as containing no irregularity. The independent directors produced the relevant inspection report. (Please see Appendices 1 and 2)

Resolution:

Proposal No. 2 as proposed by the Board of Directors:

Proposal: Distribution of profits for fiscal 2012.

Explanation:

  1. The distribution of profits for fiscal 2012 is proposed in accordance with Article 36 of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.

  2. The Company has TWD 7,058,236,913 in after-tax earnings for the year 2012. Nondistributed earnings carried forward from previous years amounted to TWD 165,415,419 as of the end of 2011. Minus a TWD 705,823,691 appropriation of legal reserve and a TWD 390,849,508 appropriation of special reserve to counteract the impact of adopting IFRSs and plus a TWD 386,930,867 reversal of special reserve, the Company has an amount of TWD 6,513,910,000 in earnings distributable for the year. It is proposed that TWD 6,513,910,000 of the said amount be distributed to the shareholders as TWD $1.00 stock dividends (TWD 5,010,700,000) and TWD $0.30 cash dividends (TWD 1,503,210,000) per share and the balance of TWD 0 is retained as non-distributed earnings as of the end of the period.

  3. It is proposed that the Board of Directors be authorized with full powers to deal with matters in connection with the change (if any) to the stock (cash) dividend distributable to shareholders as a result of a change in the total outstanding shares of the Company arising from the conversion of the overseas convertible corporate bonds to stocks in the Company on the holders’ request.

  4. Due to first-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), the Company saw its retained earnings available for distribution as of January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 decrease by TWD 413,477,906 and TWD 471,931,607, respectively.

  5. First-time adoption of IFRSs led to a decline in the Company’s retained earnings on the day of conversion. In accordance with the Financial Supervisory Commission’s letter of April 6, 2012 (ref. Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi No. 1010012865), the Company thus had no need as of January 1, 2013 to set aside an appropriation of special reserve for any addition to retained earnings deriving from equity adjustments—unrealized revaluation increments and cumulative translation adjustment (gains)—because of its adoption of IFRS 1 exemptions when compiling financial statements for first-time adoption of IFRSs.

  6. Subject to approval of the proposed earnings distribution plan by the shareholders’ meeting, it is proposed that the Board of Directors be authorized to determine the cash dividend record date. Upon approval of the competent authority, it is proposed that the Board of Directors be authorized to determine the stock dividend record date.

Resolution:

E.Sun Financial Holding Co., Ltd.
Proposed Distribution of Earnings
As of 31 December 2012
Currency: TWD
Balance as of the beginning of the period 165,415,419
Plus: After-tax profit of the period 7,058,236,913
Less: 10% legal reserve 705,823,691
Plus: Reversal of Special Reserve 386,930,867
Less: Appropriation of Special Reserve for First-Time Adoption of IFRSs 390,849,508
Earnings available for distribution 6,513,910,000
Distribution items:
Stock dividend (TWD 1.00 per share) 5,010,700,000
Cash dividend (TWD 0.30 per share) 1,503,210,000
Profit undistributed as of the end of the period 0
Remarks:
1.
Total amount distributable for bonus to employees: TWD 203,559,687 (6,513,910,000/96%*3%)
Total amount payable to directors and supervisors as remuneration: TWD 67,853,229 (6,513,910,000/96%*1%)
2.
The after-tax earnings of the year and the reversed special earnings reserve shall be applied first for the purpose of the distribution of stock dividend.
3.
The reversal of special reserve includes a TWD 222,961,718 reversal in accordance with Article 41 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Separately, the Company made a TWD 163,969,149 appropriation of special reserve in 2008 after reporting a profit from an investment trust sale; the Company was relieved of its obligation to guarantee E.Sun Bank 2005-2 CBO Securitization Special Purpose Trust (SPT) after its liquidation in 2012. This, in turn, makes possible another reversal of special reserve.

Proposal No. 3 as proposed by the Board of Directors:

Proposal: Proposed Modification of Project for Corporate Bond Proceeds.

Explanation:

  1. Of the Company’s USD200 million of convertible bonds issued on July 24, 2008, a USD50.2 million portion was converted into ordinary shares in September of the same year. Proceeds from the aforesaid sale of bonds were used as a capital injection into the Company’s subsidiary E.SUN Bank in 2009. The original “Financing Plans and Implementation” is as follows:

Unit: TWD 1,000

Project Scheduled Date of Completion Funds Raised Progress of Implementation Targeted Timetable for Use of Remaining Funds
Fiscal 2012 Fiscal 2013
Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3
Merger with/investment in domestic financial ventures and/or capital injection into subsidiaries 2013.9.30 6,081,200 1,526,382 1,138,704 1,138,704 1,138,705 1,138,705
  1. The Company’s M&A plans in relation to domestic financial ventures failed to unfold as expected in 2012 due to wild swings on the international front. Given a still uncertain broader environment, the Company proposes to modify its “Financing Plans and Implementation,” specifically the “Targeted Timetable for Use of Remaining Funds” in “Project” that is specified as “Merger with/investment in domestic financial ventures and/or capital injection into subsidiaries,” as an extension to the third quarter of 2018:

Unit: TWD 1,000

Business Report

Dear Shareholders,

We would like to first express our gratitude to our shareholders, clients, and all sectors of society for the longstanding support that had made 2012 a strong year for E.SUN, as well as, ended the first 20 years of our operation with splendid results. In 1992 E.SUN entered the industry with a refreshing group of upright professionals with the aim of running a bank up to a standard that only matches the latitude of Yushan, the highest mountain in Taiwan. The team dedicated its first decade to constructing the ground work for perpetual business. For the ensuing ten years, it developed a series of new products, such as mortgage, SME, credit card, etc., which were not only successful but also award and recognition winning from both governing authorities and client. In the hope of opening a new era in the next decade of a rising Asia, E.SUN will continue to operate under the discipline of the best business knowledge and judgments. We will further leverage our channels to grow targeted customers while refining product lines by boosting greater synergy and innovation momentum among the group subsidiaries. Last but not least, E. Sun will make social responsibility one of the top priorities as well

Toal Asset of E.SUN FHC reached over NT$1.2 trillion in 2012, and generated net profit of NT$7,085 million, equivalent to Earning per share of NT$1.46 and Return on equity and Returm on asset are 10.03% and 0.59% respectively ,besides, the Capital Adquency Ratio fulfill Basel requirements. E.SUN Bank posted a net profit for the year of NT$7,179 million. E.SUN Securities registered a net profit of NT$13 million, E.SUN Venture Capital a net profit of NT$17 million, and E.SUN Insurance Brokers a net profit of NT$468 million. The NPL ratio of E.SUN Bank was 0.17% with 658% coveage ratio, maintains its superior asset quality while meet the regulator’s requirement on 1% performing loan provision. With regarding the credit rating, The rating agency Moody’s shows its confidence in E.SUN’s growth scale and keeping good asset quality in long-term by confirming E.SUN’s global long/short rating of Baa2/Prime-2 on July 22, 2012. The core subsidiary, E.SUN’s Bank’s rating, is maintained at Baa1/Prime-2. All agencies assigned a stable outlook to FHC and Bank. Meanwhile, Fitch also maintain the rating of A(twn)/F1(twn) to E.SUN Securities on July 24, 2012.

E.SUN was named by The Banker one of top global 500 banking brands in 2013 for a brand value of US$ 140 million. We believe the brand image will be strengthened further through our marketing focus on wealth management, SME, and credit card lines. In addition to advancing the quantitative measures (such as EPS, ROE, ROA, etc.), extra efforts will be made to improve non-quantitative measures (including but not limited to branding, service improvement, risk control, staff training, IT capacity, corporate governance, etc.) to drive further business growth. Meanwhile sales integration will be reinforced among all banking and securities subsidiaries by consolidating all physical, E-commerce, and mobile banking/trading channels, so as to maximize network value and achieve the goal of becoming the high performance and respectable company.

In terms of network Fourth, subsidiary E.SUN Bank acquired Chiayi Fourth Credit-Cooperative Association in 2012 via general acceptance, thereby adding in four more domestic branches to reach a banking network of 136 locations. To enhance the service quality and coverage, as well as, to embrace the rise of the emerging Asian market, E.SUN will keep extending their overseas presence in China and Asia from the existing foreign locations in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dongguan. Not only that, we will set up localized systems, provide employee training, and build up local information tank for fostering a cross-border networking effect and transferring our high-quality service overseas. For client management, we are customer-oriented and will continue to focus on targeted customer development and growth through profile segmentation and offering various products under the FHC. We believe this strategy will magnify the value brought by our VIPs and create more MGM business opportunities, making Wealth Management E.SUN’s strongest business line.

E.SUN has pioneered several products and services in the industry, including lobby receptionist, E.SUN Trade, the third-party payment platform, and Ubike, etc. This well corresponds to what Mr. Gary Hamel, the world’s most prescient management expert, once said “Innovation is the only workable strategy to establish long-term value.” Nevertheless, E.SUN has not yet called an end to staff training, system refinement, and new ideas makings. We want to imbed creativeness to every E.SUN employee to form a spontaneous but disciplined thinking working environment to inspire more in-house innovation. Meanwhile external learning from different industries will also be adopted to brainstorm for new business elements, in order to generate a second growth curve and take leadership in financial engineering.

A higher purpose of business entities is to make society better. Fulfillment of corporate social responsibility justifies the very existence of enterprises. Social responsibility has been an integral part of E.SUN’s core strategies since its inception. It is an avid practitioner of environmental protection, energy conservation/carbon reduction, and green procurement. No wonder the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) and Taipei City government cited E.SUN as one of the top-performing private enterprises and organizations in terms of green procurement for three years in a row. With holders of E.SUN Bank’s World Card invited to join the cause, the E.SUN Golden Seed Project has to date helped establish 60 libraries for elementary school pupils in remote areas. Broader horizons are brought to a greater number of schoolchildren who now take up reading. In a similar vein, E.SUN volunteers have solicited donations from colleagues and launched the “Care for Schoolchildren Project.” The objective is to join school teachers in helping schoolchildren who need help most. Meanwhile, E.SUN is an avid high school baseball sponsor and blood drive organizer. By pooling resources and taking action to honor its CSR, E.SUN believes our society will become even better as one good deed sends ripples far and wide.

Opportunities and challenges coexist in today’s financial markets around the world. E.SUN will ready itself in every way to go up another rung. By building a greater presence across Asia, growing talent and inspiring innovation, we aim to make real our vision for “E.SUN’s Great Leap Forward to an Innovative Future.” Last but not least, our gratitude goes to those who have placed high expectations on us and prodded us on and to shareholders for their continued support. We would like to extend our sincerest wishes to all of you!

Chairman President
