1. Board Resolution Date: NA 2. Capital Reduction Benchmark Date: 115/07/31 3. Cash Capital Reduction and New Share Issuance Plan: To adjust its capital structure and improve return on equity for shareholders, Edison Opto Corporation has approved a cash capital reduction to refund shareholders' contributions. This resolution was passed at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on May 28, Year 115 (2026), and has been officially approved by the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation under Letter No. 1151802937 dated July 21, Year 115, and registered with the Ministry of Economic Affairs under Letter No. 11530123710 dated August 5, Year 115. Accordingly, this operational plan is established in accordance with the "Operating Rules of the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation" and the "Procedures for Listed Companies to Issue New Securities upon Capital Reduction."

Key details regarding the issuance of new shares following capital reduction are as follows:

I. Details of the securities to be issued, including name, number of shares, par value per share, and total amount: (i) Name of Security: Common shares of Edison Opto Corporation. (ii) Total Number of Shares to be Reissued: Includes all previously issued common shares totaling 145,386,835 shares, each with a par value of NT$10, amounting to a total nominal value of NT$1,453,868,350. (iii) Number and Amount of Shares to be Cancelled: A total of 15,000,000 issued shares will be cancelled, reducing registered capital by NT$150,000,000. (iv) Capital Reduction Ratio: As stipulated under Article 168 of the Company Act, capital reduction shall be applied proportionally to shareholders’ holdings. The reduction ratio is 10.31730280%. For every 1,000 shares held, 103.173028 shares will be reduced, resulting in the issuance of 896.826972 new shares per 1,000 old shares. (v) Refund Amount per Share: Each shareholder will receive NT$1.03173028 in cash per share, rounded down to the nearest whole dollar. (vi) Total Number of Shares and Capital After Reduction: Post-reduction, the company will have 130,386,835 issued shares, each with a par value of NT$10, bringing the total paid-in capital to NT$1,303,868,350. (vii) The new shares issued through this capital reduction will be calculated based on the shareholder register as of the "Capital Reduction Share Exchange Benchmark Date." For every 1,000 shares held, 103.173028 shares will be deducted (i.e., 896.826972 new shares issued). Fractional shares less than one after reduction may be consolidated by submitting a consolidation registration to the company’s transfer agent between five days prior to and one day before the suspension of transfers. Any fractional shares remaining after consolidation or unprocessed within the deadline will be compensated in cash based on the closing price of the last trading day before the benchmark date on the public stock market, calculated proportionally and rounded down to the nearest dollar (to offset depository or settlement fees). The Chairman is authorized to arrange for specific parties to purchase such fractional entitlements at the said closing price. (viii) The newly issued shares from this cash reduction will be issued in dematerialized (non-physical) form, carrying identical rights and obligations as the original shares.

II. Schedule for Capital Reduction and New Share Issuance: (i) Last Trading Day for Reduced Shares: September 9, Year 115 (2026). (ii) Suspension Period for Market Trading of Reduced Shares: September 10 to September 18, Year 115.

(iv) Suspension Period for Share Transfers: September 14 to September 18, Year 115. (v) Capital Reduction Share Exchange Benchmark Date: September 18, Year 115.
