Responses to Tackle COVID-19 In supporting the measures taken by relevant countries to tackle COVID-19, the population under quarantine for prevention of infection remained high. The result is inadequate supply of human resources, interruption of the supply chain, and forgery of pandemic free certification, which together pushed up costs and inflicted sizable impact on the operation of enterprises. As such, MSI pursues the following in the period of fighting the pandemic in response to the changes: Formation of a pandemic prevention response task force: MSI has formed the pandemic prevention task force before the Lunar New Year to keep track on the status of the employees at all plant sites and their health status.

Establishment of home office environment: MSI introduced the remote work platform in support of the government policy of pandemic prevention so that the employees can save, edit, and exchange files on official duties and quickly complete the works with proper communication and sharing of files. Establishment of real-time communication mechanisms: A platform for the communications of employees at relevant operation locations or those quarantined at home has been established for conveyance of information, such as videoconferencing, to upgrade communication efficiency. Establishment of BCP: MSI started to help its customers in tackling the pandemic crisis as early as the confirmed outbreak of the pandemic in the areas of assessment of the influence on the operations in human resources, financial position, business operation, and legal aspects, and established the BCP. For the time being, COVID-19 has not inflicted any significant influence on the operation. MSI is always prepared to respond before the situation of the pandemic gets worse, and is confident in enabling its employees and customers to face the challenge in concerted effort. MSI believes that it will be more seasoned and tenacious to brave any challenge in the future after this crisis. 2.5 Business Ethics MSI adheres to the national laws and ethics of the location where each plant is located to engage in operational activities; we prohibit the direct or indirect provision, commitment, demand, or acceptance of any undue benefits and interests, or any acts involving breach of integrity, illegality or violation of obligations in the course of doing business to obtain or maintain benefits.

Supplier Management Competition is beneficial to business, but as multinational trade evolves, competition for profit margin has given rise to new forms of merger, receivership and market manipulation/segregation that are being considered as inappropriate conducts. For this reason, new behavioral codes and legal actions are being undertaken worldwide against monopolistic conducts and unethical behaviors, and in doing so maintain the integrity of the business world. MSI has responded to the initiative through actions, exerting influence over suppliers to uphold common ethics and integrity. We use a multitude of channels (e.g. supplier conference) to promote suppliers' awareness towards MSI's integrity policy, and have compiled a list of "Corporate Social Requirements" to align suppliers' practices with MSI's expectations. During the reporting period, MSI continued to promote awareness among suppliers using the online platform (GPM) and by having them sign letters of commitment that convey MSI's resolve in upholding business ethics. Supplier promotion focus: Suppliers are expected to act in MSI's best interest, and avoid potential conflict of interest. Unreasonable contracting, collective bargaining and conspiracy among suppliers are prohibited. Suppliers must have whistleblower systems in place and protect informants against retaliation. Suppliers are expected to take initiative in reporting unethical and dishonest conducts. 2.5.2 Assessment of the Risk of Integrity Targeting on the risk of corruption, MSI conducted an assessment based on operations of different natures.

While these strategies are all based on cost savings, they inevitably increase the risk of supply chain management. As the supply chain becomes increasingly dependent upon cooperation, sharing, outsourcing, communication and globalization, MSI has responded with more flexible supply chain practices and tightened monitoring of suppliers' current state of business and materials supply in an attempt to minimize risk of supply shortage in the event of economic, environmental and social impact. MSI supplier risk management measures Integrate the Company's requirements, require suppliers to develop contingency procedures and plans to address natural or man-made hazards that caused by suppliers' products and services, and thereby ensure business continuity. Business continuity Develop a flexible and diversified supply chain to prevent management supplies from being monopolized to the point that threatens overall business operations. Flexible contract management with optional terms and stage-by- stage execution to reduce business losses caused by changing market price. MSI supplier risk management measures Environmental sustainability management Demand that suppliers establish an emergency reporting system for natural disasters, so that situation and recovery can be updated to MSI in a timely manner in the event of disaster. Demand that suppliers implement contingent measures such as backup production and inventory reserve to mitigate operational impact in the event of natural disaster, violation or accident. Comply with environmental laws, offer clean-produced products and services, and enforce the environment management system. Code of conduct compliance Any act in defiance of the ethical norms is prohibited. A reporting system is established, and the identity of the informants will be kept in strict confidence. Require that suppliers establish and enforce management guidelines based on international initiatives on labor and human rights (such as RBA, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises etc.), and ensure full compliance with local laws where production sites are located. Ensure the confidentiality of business information and demand that suppliers respect intellectual properties of both parties. Out of protection for human rights and compliance, suppliers are required to perform due diligence investigation to ensure that raw materials and products do not involve illegal minerals and smelters. 4.3.2 Supplier Management Mechanism As a successful and leading business in e-sports, we purchase materials in a responsible manner and in the utmost transparency and fairness.

In terms of pollution control, we continue to minimize treatment costs and comply with legal requirements by making improvements to production technology and treatment procedures. 2020 CSR 79 2020 MSI CSR Report AIR Pollution Prevention MSI generates air pollutants mainly in the form of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)emitted from auxiliary materials (such as solderflux alcohol etc.) used in the production process. We adopt exhaust prevention equipment (e.g. active carbon absorption) to treat the exhaust emitted from production, which is released into the environment in strict compliance with local air pollution control laws and emission standards. Air quality (including indoor and operating environment) is monitored regularly to ensure the effectiveness of air pollution control measures. Furthermore, no ozone-depleting substance is used during production and no NOx and SOx is released into the atmosphere. Goal Management Measures Control Optimize indoor air quality Reduce storage and use of materials characterized by high volatility and toxicity Use alcohol instead of naphtha for product cleaning Apply control over the use of organic solvent-based products (e.g. Air in production and office areas is exchanged regularly to maintain air quality. Random inspections (for CO2, PM2.5 etc) are conducted to maintain air quality. Filters are cleaned and renewed regularly to maintain air quality. air fresheners) at confined spaces and office areas Peripheral boundary air Low-sulfur fuel is used in emergency power generators. pollution emission control Improvement to pollute production procedures. Installation of active-carbon absorption equipment. Regular testing of air quality in peripheral boundary. Wastewater Discharge Management MSI complies with prevailing environmental standards. The Company generates wastewater mainly from living activities, and all wastewater is treated before discharge (for MSIK, wastewater is discharged to Kunshan water treatment plant for collective treatment through direct pipeline connection). The company has real-time monitoring equipment in place to check the quality of wastewater, and wastewater is discharged only when treated to standard. MSI is subjected to regular wastewater quality inspections of the authority, and has managed to meet the required standards. The draining of wastewater at all plant sites conformed to legal requirements in the reporting period and under routine inspection through random sampling by the monitoring body from time to time. There was no significant impact on the waterbody accommodating the draining. In addition, there was no significant leaking or overflowing.

All of our plants are located inside designated industrial zones or science parks and outcomes of the above tests have all conformed with legal requirements, meaning that no disturbance is caused to nearby communities. 5.6 Water Management MSI focuses on clean production and environmental protection. The waterless manufacturing process is adopted at each plant to produce various products; no effluents are produced in the manufacturing process. The water consumption is mainly based on employees' use of water, and only domestic sewage is produced. 100% of the domestic water source comes from municipal water supply (tap water) and does not from rivers and lakes, groundwater, or the ocean, which has no significant possible impact on water sources and community water. Water resources management strategy Strive for the most efficient use of water and optimize water resource management measures. In assessing the change in equipment, the purchase of water efficient equipment shall be the first priority to reduce waste. Related education and training has also been provided for the employees. 2020 CSR 81 2020 MSI CSR Report Commitment of water resources management Climate change worldwide causes significant impacts on water supply. For the sustainable development of water resources, MSI promises to continue monitoring the use of water resources and make improvement in the discharge of water pollutants to avoid the waste of water and impacts on water resources. Identify the risk inherent to water resources and countermeasures Risk Risk identification consideration Description Countermeasures Legal requirements The control of the quality of water pollutant discharge is becoming increasingly strict. The poor quality of water pollutants will push up the amount of fines imposed by the government and run the risk of reciprocal protest from the stakeholders, which in turn causes damage to the Conduct inspection and tests on water pollutants at regular intervals for assurance of conforming to requirements of water pollutant quality. Continue the evaluation of the feasibility of introducing new technologies for the treatment of water pollutants at the plant site. corporate image of MSI.

Confirmation of the geographic location of the plant site and the information on neighboring waterbodies to reduce the risk of river flooding. Information on water resources management in the reporting period MSIT has proper equipment for handling water pollutants and monitoring the discharge at regular intervals. The wastewater generated will drain into the sewage system designed for wastewater discharge. MSIK discharges its water pollutants directly into the pipe of the wastewater treatment plant at Kunshan, which will collectively handle the treatment. MSIS has installed an intermediate water recycling system. The recycled water will be used in irrigation and toilet flushing. All the plant sites of MSI are located in industrial zones which are not sensitive to ecological conservation. The results of inspection and tests on wastewater conform to the requirements of local laws. The discharge of water pollutants does not cause significant influence on the surrounding ecological environment and habitats.

The police can gather evidence on the scene of the accident very quickly through aerial photography. The high resolution equipment provides sharp visuals on the traits of the accidents and related evidence in the surrounding area.
