On Mar 20 2019, PJAM received the response letter from the Department of Investor Relations of SinoPac FHC, which has clearly rejected PJAM's meeting request. The letter, which is reproduced below, provided the Company's explanation of the refusal to PJAM. While SinoPac FHC emphasized its commitment to a better corporate governance, PJAM is disappointed with the result and shall continue to urge the Company's board to proactively participate in investor communication, rather than put Department of Investor Relations sole steward of shareholders' communication.

Dear PJAM,
The set-up of Department of Investor Relations within SinoPac FHC is to be responsible for investor communication and to ensure that all shareholders' suggestions, concerns and disputes can be dealt properly by the department.
The aforementioned subjects including our Ethical Management Committee's responsibility and performance, the subsidiaries' employment strategy and hiring policy were put forth to our audit committee. The audit committee members in accordance with the Company's past practice will assign and delegate the Department of Investor Relations to take charge the matters and respond to your request in due course.
