Talents are the core asset of the IC industry, thus RichWave actively invests resources in recruiting outstanding talents and establishing diverse talent recruitment channels, offering competitive remuneration to attract and retain suitable talents.

Recognizing the value of experienced employees, RichWave continued to enhance its age- Note1. friendly employment initiatives in 2025 based on departmental workforce and operational Note2. needs. The Company implemented the following measures to support the continued employment of senior employees:
In alignment with the Ministry of Labor's Subsidy Program for Continued Employment of Older Workers, RichWave retained employees reaching the statutory retirement age of 65, enabling experienced professionals to continue contributing their expertise in R&D and management roles. Depending on individual expertise, leadership capabilities, and the Company's operational development needs, senior employees may also be re-engaged on a project basis or appointed as consultants, facilitating knowledge transfer and preserving valuable organizational experience.

At the same time, the Company values the cultivation of professional talents, we have forged a long-term and close partnership with schools to engage in industry-academe collaboration in higher technical education. We have developed a wide range of cutting- edge technologies in different technological fields with various schools for the sake of keeping abreast of the latest international trends and recruiting key talents. Furthermore, the Company strives to foster a positive work environment by conducting exit interviews with employees prior to their departure. These interviews help identify the reasons behind their decision to leave, enabling the Company to explore possible retention measures, such as internal transfers or improvements to the work environment— to address concerns and reduce employee turnover.

Our performance management system and development system helps our employees to attain optimum work performance and showcase their core values through ongoing target focus, two-way dialogue, real-time feedback and performance evaluation, thereby realizing the best organizational and individual performance. RichWave’s employee performance evaluation takes place over different stages, assessing our employees’ annual work performance and setting their future career development goals through initial target setting and year-end appraisal. The annual performance appraisal outcome is used as a reference for making human resource-related decisions such as employee performance bonuses, promotion, as well as talent development. In 2025, 100% of RichWave’s employees regularly received performance appraisals and career development reviews, regardless of their job category or job band within the Company.
RichWave sees employees as important assets of the Company and provides a competitive remuneration system that adjusts our employees’ salaries based on the overall performance of the Company and personal performance. If the company has earned a profit for the year, we will set aside at least 8% of the profit as employee remuneration, which will be awarded to our employees in the form of stocks or cash dividends (to be decided by the Board of Directors) based on their performance.

Work-life balance leads to better performance and a higher quality of life. Since 2021, RichWave has continuously offered a series of courses and lectures focused on holistic health, mind, body, and spirit, empowering employees to better understand their mental and physical states. By applying mindfulness techniques, employees can release stress and manage emotions, thereby mitigating workplace pressure and enhancing their overall sense of well-being, which has garnered positive feedback. In 2025, the Company held a series of MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) courses, as well as ESG health programs featuring stretching, yoga, and strength training using office chairs or props. These initiatives not only demonstrate a commitment to employee care and physical and mental health (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being) but also improve work efficiency and happiness (SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth), establishing a comprehensive healthy workplace environment and enhancing the Company's overall competitiveness. We will continue to offer health promotion courses to foster an excellent workplace environment.
