Board Diversity Policy and Implementation

I. Board Diversity Policy

In accordance with the “Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles,” Donpon adopts a diversity policy for the composition of its Board of Directors. The Company considers its operational characteristics and development needs in formulating appropriate diversity guidelines, covering two main dimensions:

• Basic Attributes and Values: including gender, age, nationality, and cultural background.

• Professional Knowledge and Skills: including professional background (e.g., law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing, or technology), specialized skills, and industry experience.

Board members are expected to possess the knowledge, skills, and character necessary for performing their duties. The collective competencies of the Board should include the following:

• Business judgment

• Accounting and financial analysis

• Management expertise

• Crisis management

• Industry knowledge

• Global market perspective

• Leadership ability

• Decision-making capability

• Sustainability management

II. Board Diversity Management Objectives

The Board is responsible for guiding corporate strategy, supervising management, and ensuring all governance mechanisms function in accordance with the law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, and shareholder resolutions.

Specific board diversity objectives include:

• Gender Equality: At least one female director shall be included in the Board.

• Core Competency Coverage: More than two-thirds of board members shall possess key capabilities in business judgment, management, or crisis handling.

• Independence: Independent directors may not serve more than three consecutive terms, to preserve objectivity and independence.

• Employee-Directors: The number of directors concurrently serving as employees of the Company or its affiliates (parent, subsidiary, or sibling companies) shall not exceed one-third of total board seats.

III. Implementation Status

All Donpon directors possess the knowledge, experience, and professionalism required to perform their duties, including industry-specific decision-making and management capabilities. The Company continues to provide a variety of training programs to enhance directors’ decision-making quality and supervisory effectiveness.

The current 11th Board consists of 9 directors, including 4 independent directors, ensuring adequate board independence. There are 2 directors who also serve as employees, accounting for 22.22% of the board.

The Board includes 1 female director, achieving the Company’s gender diversity goal.

Board members have strong management experience and diverse professional backgrounds. For each of the nine core competencies, at least one-third of members are qualified, and over 80% of members possess key competencies in business judgment, management, and crisis handling—Donpon’s three priority areas.
