1. Matters to be reported:

1. Business report of Year 2012

Stepping into 2013, the global economy is still uncertain, but there have been signs of recovery as a whole. Looking into the new year, FAREASTONE hopes the public power of consumption can increase and it will keep moving towards its goal of service centric, innovation and profitable growth. Despite the lackluster business environment in 2012 as a result of the international political and economic situation and the livelihood and telecom related policies, FAREASTONE continued to launch various innovative products, actively created“360-degree attentive and sincere services” and also invested heavily in the network construction, in a bid to create more superior core communication services.

Along with the rapid growth of smart devices, FAREASTONE’s combined total revenues reached NT$86.745 billion in 2012, with a combined EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of NT$24.36 billion as well as after-tax profits of NT$ 10.6 billion. The EPS was NT$ 3.25. The revenues from mobile non-voice services grew 44.3% in the full year, accounting for 29.8% in the total revenues from mobile services. 【【【【Operating performance and achievements of FAREASTONE in 2012】】】】 Proactively improving networks to provide faster and better services

In view of the fast-growing smart device market, FAREASTONE has been investing heavily in network construction in recent years, in a bid to improve speed and service quality of its mobile networks. Apart from upgrading and expanding base stations, it has been building more Wi-Fi hotspots throughout Taiwan. The group will continue to upgrade its services in Taiwan to cater to different needs of customers. FAREASTONE obtained the SGS service certifications for seven consecutive years and its “360-degree attentive and sincere services” won the Taiwan Service Survey 2012-Gold Award

Two years ago, FAREASTONE took the lead to launch four major attentive services, namely “100% satisfaction and 100% commitment”, “store reservation service”, “door-to-door maintenance service for VIP customers”, and “self-service payment machine in stores”. In 2012, FAREASTONE stuck to the goal and offered advanced services including “60-minute quick maintenance”, “free Wi-Fi” and “monthly free courses”. At the same time, FAREASTONE proactively set up stores with local characteristics in shopping malls, night markets and traffic hubs. The store number of FAREASTONE, Arcoa and Data Express has come close to 900. In addition, “360-degree attentive and sincere services” was granted Taiwan Service Survey 2012-Gold Award by Commercial Times, a well-known newspaper in Taiwan.

Supporting Taiwan high quality software developers and expanding value-added service market across the Strait

In order to support high quality software developers in Taiwan and enhance soft power of the cultural and creative industry, FET SMart has been active to hold the “FET Partner Conference” since its establishment, inviting software developers to share their experiences. In the third conference held in August 2012, the developers of world-renowned apps “LINE” and “Angry Birds” were invited to share their successful experience. Meanwhile, FET also tried hard to develop new value-added service. FET Video Store had been updated and launched “one-cloud and four-screen” multi-platform service, integrating smart phone, tablet, home PC and smart TV. FET eBook Town also boosted e-book earnings to new highs via O2O (online to offline) marketing activities. As for Omusic, it continued to cooperate with well-known Chinese singers to launch digital music content, which is well received by customers in both Taiwan and mainland China. FAREASTONE grasps corporate cloud business opportunities with FET Super Cloud winning “cloud innovation award 2012”

Following the eight smart services, FAREASTONE teamed up with ASUS to focus on large, medium and small-sized enterprise market and launched the “FET Super Cloud”, a corporate cloud storage service featuring flexibility, integration and security. The service won the “cloud innovation award 2012” organized by Cloud Computing Association in Taiwan and co-organized by Ministry of Economic Affairs, indicating the innovations of FAREASTONE have been recognized by the industrial, governmental and academic communities. As the cloud business booms, FAREASTONE will proactively develop more revolutionary cloud services to expand its market landscape.

The official completion of Cross-Straits Submarine Cable “Taiwan Strait Express-1”””” lays foundation for Taiwan to become telecommunications hub

in Asia-Pacific region

Cross-Straits Submarine “Taiwan Strait Express-1”, the first cross-strait telecommunications submarine cable between mainland China and Taiwan, was officially completed in January 2012. The cable, which directly connects FAREASTONE ’s submarine cable station at Danshuei, Taiwan with Changle, Fuzhou, has become the shortest and most stable submarine cable with the most business opportunities. It will bring new business opportunities for the cross-strait telecom business in the Asia-Pacific market, and help Taiwan become a telecommunications hub in Asia-Pacific region. In addition to investing in international submarine cable construction, FAREASTONE has actively deepened its cloud and network deployment in recent years such as investing in the development of the Taipei Far Eastern Telecom Park and IDCs. Looking into the future, FAREASTONE will center on Taiwan and continuously tap other markets including Asia-Pacific region, Europe, the US, New Zealand and Australia and strengthen the quality of international telecom services and the communication platform services, maximizing the economic benefits of the submarine cable communications and cloud technology. Implementing the philosophy of “eco-fashion and creative responsibility” and sparing no efforts to reward the society

Apart from strengthening corporate governance, FAREASTONE will strive to implement corporate social responsibility in a bid to realize the concept of business continuity and “what’s taken from the society should be given back to the society”. Since the establishment of the corporate social responsibility

committee, FAREASTONE has been sticking to the philosophy of “eco-fashion and creative responsibility”. According to industrial resources and creative ideas, it launched the “Green Kung-Fu” campaign and designed a special APP to invite the public to shoot environment protection practices in daily life anytime and anywhere and upload them for competition. FAREASTONE fully demonstrated humanistic care by making the best of its communications technology strength, together with environmental awareness. FAREASTONE ’s first corporate social responsibility report was awarded the Outstanding Newcomer Award of the 2012 Taiwan Corporate Sustainability Report Awards by Taiwan Institute for Sustainable Energy (TAISE). 【【【【FAREASTONE Operation Status Quo and Strategic Planning for 2013】】】】 FAREASTONE pledges to provide top-notch ICT and digital application services

Amid the ever-changing global mobile communication market where the smart mobile devices are gaining popularity and driving the development of app

services and cross-platform integration services, FAREASTONE will uphold its vision of “FET Connects and Enriches Life” and keep its commitments of

“Always exceeding customer expectation thru innovation and passion, Becoming the first choice of employee, Maximizing shareholder value, Driving

community engagement and environment sustainability” to meet the diversified demands of customers and fulfill its mission of

FAREASTONE is presently expanding corporate user base and value-added services as part of its efforts to foray into the burgeoning Chinese market. It will continue to take an “re-think, re-built, and re-invent” attitude in the future to ensure stable growth amid multiple challenges. People-oriented; put priority on talent training and strengthen core competence

Facing the rapid development and rat race in the telecom sector, FAREASTONE believes that only talents can help an enterprise consolidate its competitive edge and leading position in the fast-changing business environment, and only a favorable environment can retain talents. So the company will focus on recruiting talents with integrated service and all-round thinking capabilities in the future. With respect to the talent training, the company will put the priority on cultivating key talents, managerial talents and specialized talents in terms of operational strategies, corporation value, core function as well as telecom industry development.
