Board Members
The Board of Directors of Sinyi Realty is composed of 7 members with extensive experience in business management or academic expertise. In the 2013 board re-election, an additional independent director seat was added, bringing the total to 4 independent directors, all of whom possess strong backgrounds in corporate management, law, finance, accounting, or business operations. This structure aims to enhance the board's governance capabilities, with independent directors making up more than half of the entire board. In 2019, the Company appointed its first female independent director at the shareholders' meeting, followed by the appointment of another female director in October 2023, raising the proportion of female board members to 28.6%. Further progress was made during the full re-election of directors at the 2025 shareholders' meeting, when an additional female director was appointed, increasing the proportion of female board members to 43%. These actions reflect the company's strong commitment to gender equality and board diversity. They are also aligned with the goals of Corporate Governance 3.0 and sustainable development indicators, aiming to enrich the board’s perspectives and enhance the quality of its decision-making and governance effectiveness.

Selections of the members to the Board of Directors seats
In addition to professional backgrounds and professional expertise, the Company's board of directors members should further possess the expertise required by the Company's business planning and business undertakings. To help the Board of Directors members enhance the professionalism and continuous improvement, given the scope beyond the professional capabilities of the directors to choose and cover such professional courses in finance, risk management, business, commerce, legal affairs, accounting, corporate social responsibility, or internal control systems related to the nature of the company's business undertakings, we arrange and required each and every Board of Directors member to receive and complete at least six (6) hours of refresher and advanced study every year. Thanks to such sound planning and system, all board of directors members will keep themselves abreast of the up-to-date know-how required for the industry. The average training hours per director in 2023 were 8.7 hours.
Here at Sinyi Group, we launched the chairperson succession plan quite many years ago, cultivating the Company's internal senior executives to enter the Board of Directors and familiarize them with the operation of the board of directors. Besides, routinely, we have tried to expand their participation in the operating units of the Group, and experience in job rotation, assignment, and the like. Finally, after the full re-election of the Board of Directors members in May 2019, exactly in the same month, Chairperson Chou Chun-Chi successfully handed over his chairmanship to Mr. Hsueh Chien-Ping, the former General Manager and Vice-Chairperson of the Company. Former Chairperson Chou Chun-Chi, who is the very founder of Sinyi Group, currently serves as the Company's director. The Company has established a talent pool of independent directors, and will update the list in due course to facilitate the selection of future independent directors.
In order to accelerate the Company's digital transformation and enable the members of the Board of Directors to better understand, support and then give instructions, Sinyi Co., Ltd., the juristic-person director of the Company, has reappointed Mr. Chou Ken-Yu as its new representative, replacing Vice Chairperson Ms. Chou Wang Mei-Wen as the successor juristic-person director representative. Having been served in the sales and staff divisions of the Company with complete qualifications, Director Chou Ken-Yu is familiar with real estate brokerage business, data application, etc., and has also devoted himself to the Company's digital transformation plan in recent years.
Mr. Chou Ken-Yu, the CTO of the Company, accepted the nomination and became member of the 14th Board of Directors on May 19, 2022. He was elected as Vice Chairperson during the board meeting held on September 27, 2022.
Owing to Chairperson Liu Yuan-Chi's premature retirement for personal health reasons, Vice Chairperson Chou Ken-Yu was appointed as Chairperson by the Board of Directors in 2023. He has been a director since May 2022. Furthermore, given his extensive experience within the Company, he is already well-versed in its operations and can seamlessly take on the role of the Company's chairperson.
In 2022, in response to the business development of the Company, we planned to select an independent director with a background and experience in the real estate development industry. Mr. Wu Chih-Wei, the members of the 14th session of the Board of Directors of the Company, has served as an independent director of Cathay Pacific Construction for several years and through his relevant experience, he shall inject more insights into the Board of Directors.
Chairman Liu Yuan-Chih, the legal representative of Sinyi Co., Ltd. retired. The legal director of Sinyi Co., Ltd. resigned as chairman but continues to serve as a director of the Company. In October 2023, Ms. Chen Li-Shin was appointed as her representative to become a director of the Company, increasing the proportion of female directors to 28.6%. In order to improve corporate governance, Sinyi Co., Ltd., the legal director of the Company, resigned as a director on May 21, 2024, and the Company re-elected Ms. Chen Li-Shin as a director of the Company on May 22 of the same year. All 7 directors of the Company are natural persons.
At the Annual General Meeting on May 22, 2025, the Company completed a re-election of the Board of Directors. The Board consists of seven members, including four independent directors. Two newly appointed independent directors, Mr. Lin Wen-Cheng and Ms. Chen Shu-Chuan, bring expertise in human resource management and financial services, respectively, contributing to the enhancement of corporate governance mechanisms. The new Board encompasses a broad range of professional fields, including business management, human resources, law, and finance. The number of female directors has increased to three, raising the proportion to 43%, highlighting the Company's commitment to board diversity and gender balance.
