Release Date: August 19, 2026 Statement Date: August 18, 2026 Statement Time: 18:40:47 Company Code: 1218 Company Name: Taisun Enterprise Subject: Supplemental Explanation Regarding Media Reports Applicable Clause: Item 51 Factual Date: August 18, 2026

Explanation: 1. Factual Date: 8/18/115 (August 18, 2026) 2. Company Name: Taisun Enterprise Co., Ltd. 3. Relationship with Company (enter '本公司' or 'Subsidiary'):本公司 (Our Company) 4. Cross-shareholding Ratio: Not applicable 5. Media Outlet: Central News Agency and other media reports 6. Report Content: Regarding the Chung Lien edible oil benzo(a)pyrene (BaP)超标 incident, the Taichung District Prosecutors Office has determined that Chung Lien delivered the oil to Fushou Industrial, Formosa Oils, and Taisun Enterprise for resale to downstream food businesses, and delayed reporting the incident, concluding the investigation. Today, prosecutors have filed public charges against the four corporations—Chung Lien, Fushou, Formosa, and Taisun—and 13 senior executives including Tsai Ching-sung, citing violations of the Food Safety Act. They have also petitioned the court to confiscate the illegal proceeds of these companies. Among the 13 executives charged are Taisun's Chairman Liu Wei-long, former CEO Shen Yi-chun, current CEO Tsai Kuo-liang, and food safety officer Chang Teng. The prosecution has requested confiscation of approximately NT$130.21 million in illegal gains from Taisun Enterprise. Currently, the company has not yet received any official documents and will issue a public announcement once received. 7. Cause of Incident: On June 30, Taisun received notification from its oil contract manufacturer, Chung Lien Oils, that a batch of salad oil raw material (Lot No. 0409315) supplied to Taisun, Fushou, and Formosa failed to meet Taiwan’s regulatory standards for benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) during third-party testing. Upon learning this, Taisun immediately initiated a preventive recall of 10 related products and voluntarily reported the matter to the competent authority on the same day. To protect consumer rights, the company also expanded its refund program to include all consumers who purchased the 10 affected items between April and June. However, during an inspection, the competent authority noted that Taisun had attended a quality assurance coordination meeting hosted by Chung Lien Oils on June 15, at which time it should have already known that the Batch 315 salad oil produced on April 4 might be contaminated, and thus should have taken legal action when safety concerns arose. 8. Response Measures: Taisun has not yet received official documentation and will proceed with legal announcements upon receipt. 9. Other Disclosures: None.
