Radiant Opto-Electronics upholds the principles of corporate governance, insisting on operational and informational transparency while emphasizing shareholder rights. In compliance with the Company Act, Securities and Exchange Act, and other relevant regulations, the Company has established a corporate governance framework and practical guidelines, creating a complete and efficient governance organization. The Board of Directors is responsible for supervising, appointing, and directing the management team, as well as overseeing the overall operation of the Corporation. As the highest governance unit of the Group, the Board of Directors plays a crucial role in ensuring the success of the Corporation. It is chaired by the Chairman, who leads the Board of Directors in formulating and supervising the execution of the company's various business operations. In consideration of overall operational policies, Yu-Chao Wang is the Chairman and President of the Company. We maintain that more than half of the directors do not concurrently hold employee or managerial positions. In compliance with Article 4 of the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation Operation Directions for Compliance with the Establishment of Board of Directors by TWSE Listed Companies and the Board's Exercise of Powers, which requires that the number of independent directors in a listed company not be fewer than three, the 11th Board of Directors election resulted in a total of 5 independent directors to enhance the corporate governance system.
Nomination and Selection of Board of Directors
The composition of the Board of Directors of Radiant Opto-Electronics considers organizational culture, business operations, and long-term development. The selection criteria are established, including but not limited to the following three key aspects, to ensure a diversified composition by the Board of Directors:
