I. Reports: (1) Business report of Year 2013

Dear Shareholders,

As we enter 2014, the global economy is gradually recovering. Looking forward to the new year, we expect to see a strong, explosive spike in domestic

economic growth, which will result in stronger domestic consumption momentum. Despite the downturn last year that hit economies home and abroad, Far

Eastone (FET) still managed to achieve great success: FET was once again recognized as providing the fastest consumer mobile broadband speed in a survey

conducted by the National Communications Commission (NCC), winning the championship among all telecom operators. Our excellent store service was also

ranked as the best in surveys conducted by Commercial Times, Next Media Magazine and Global Views Monthly. The efforts we invested in the promotion of

corporate social responsibility were recognized by society as well. With the advent of the digital era, FET is rapidly establishing 4G networks. With the largest

contiguous spectrum in Taiwan, we promise to provide extremely fast and stable 4G experiences for consumers.

Although the market and economic conditions were not stable in 2013, all Far Eastone employees keep their strong faith and strive to achieve the goal. Far

Eastone’s consolidated total revenue in 2013 was NT$ 89,671 million. The consolidated EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and

Amortization) and net income were NT$ 25,599 million and NT$ 11,847 million, respectively; and the unaudited EPS stood at NT$3.61, up 11% from 2012,

underscoring our ability to consistently improve shareholder values.

The Operational Performance and Results of Far EasTone in 2013

���� World-class Quality Network, Outshining All the Other Telecom Operators

In 2013, Far Eastone was awarded a fourth-generation (4G) license, successfully securing a total of 30 MHz spectrum. The Company is not merely the only

telecom operator in Taiwan that has 20 MHz of contiguous spectrum, but also the only company in the sector that will be able to compete head-to-head with

leading carriers in countries such as Japan and Korea in terms of 4G LTE speeds as we move forward into the future. Armed with the spectrum from both

high and low frequency blocks which complement each another, FET now enjoys the unique advantage of offering the most efficient and fastest broadband

speeds and ensuring top-notch indoor and outdoor signals, along with the ability to maximize the performance of multi-media, audio and video streaming,

Page 5: Year 2014 Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd ... … · 0 Year 2014 Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. Shareholders’ Meeting Handbook June 11, 2014 Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C

gaming and all the other myriad of mobile applications for best user experience. Moreover, FET topped the NCC survey on consumer mobile broadband

speed for two times in a row, yet another affirmation of the depth of our dedication and commitment to quality of service.

Also, in 2013, Far Eastone announced its alliance with Vodafone Group, a telecom giant internationally, becoming Vodafone’s exclusive partner in Taiwan.

Its customer base has also expanded from 350 million under the Conexus Mobile Alliance to more than 700 million under the Vodafone Alliance.

Leveraging the competitive edge as a member of one of Asia’s largest mobile alliances, FET is now able to provide competitive pricing and quality

coverage. In the future, FET plans to integrate the existing resources of other member operators using cloud technology, expanding its global service

networks and becoming a world-class telecommunications operator.

���� Award-winning Customers Service that Exceeds Expectations

Far Eastone’s 360° Store Service is an innovative idea in the industry. FET introduces 1-3 innovative services nationwide every year to promote industrial

upgrading. In order to realize the service concept of “exceeding customer expectations”, FET introduced multiple services, such as the 360° Self-Care APP,

and Online Chat, to provide services tailored for a mobile life. In addition, FET’s continuous efforts in the 360° Store Services were widely recognized in

2013 when it won the Commercial Times “Golden Award of The Best Service in Taiwan”, gained first place in Next Media Magazine’s “Top Service Award

2013- Mobile and Communication” and received “Global Views Excellent Service Awards-Telecommunications” from Global Views Monthly.

���� FET Garnered Six Major FinanceAsia Awards for Outstanding Corporate Governance

FET is dedicated to implementing effective corporate governance, social responsibility and two-way transparent communications with investors, and has

thus been the only telecom operator in Taiwan to garner six major awards from FinanceAsia for two years in a row. FET has won awards including “Best

Managed Company,” “Best Corporate Governance,” “Best Investor Relations,” “Best Corporate Social Responsibility,” “Most Committed to a Strong

Dividend Policy” as well as “Best CEO.” These awards are strong evidence of FET’s excellent governance, putting the company ahead of its competitors.

���� E-commerce Introduced to New “SoLoMo Economy” Business Model

Last year, Far Eastone increased its effort in establishing mobile application services. FET also invested in Hiiir, a newly established company, in an

attempt to assist more developers to gain international exposure and additional opportunities. Furthermore, FET introduced and adopted a newly-built

model of SoLoMo (Social, Local and Mobile) economy. The mechanism is to get the consumers as the center of their social connections, daily living

Page 6: Year 2014 Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd ... … · 0 Year 2014 Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. Shareholders’ Meeting Handbook June 11, 2014 Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C

5

activities and consumption and then gradually expands the circle of influence. As a result, a symbiotic eco-system is formed to connect the consumers,

developers and advertising agencies via mobile applications to expand the possibilities of mobile technology.

���� Deeper Connection through Getting Closer to Local Community

By the end of last year, the number of channels under the Far Eastone umbrella had exceeded 1,000, and this wide coverage allows us to connect deeper

and broader with consumers’ lives. FET also conducted detailed evaluations on the characteristics and consumption power of various business districts,

then opened stores with different features accordingly. The pioneering concept store at Ximen and the first outlet near Taipei Train Station are two examples.

Furthermore, FET has been continuously promoting services such as “battery recycling” and “appraisal and trade-in program of used phones”. These

actions set up an environmentally-friendly platform on which consumers can collaborate with FET recycling cell phones and reusing resources.

���� Promoting Corporate Social Responsibility Underpinned by Communication Expertise

In order to actualise “Eco-fashion, Creative responsibility”, the dual concept of Far Eastone’s corporate social responsibility, FET organized the 2nd FET

Green Kungfu Campaign “I Draw, I Tell, therefore I Love”. This event aimed to emphasize that environmental protection education should start at a young

age. Related activities included environmental protection story-telling and promoting Taiwan’s 1st Eco-friendly Digital Picture Book Competition for

Children through tablet computers and e-books. In addition, FET recruited volunteers to visit rural elementary schools in Tauyuan District, Kaohsiung City.

The volunteers promoted e-books in these areas to bridge the digital gap between cities and rural areas, and also encouraged environmental-friendly actions

such as saving paper to save trees. Far Eastone also won the “ 2013 Corporate “Social Responsibility Award” from the Global Views Magazine, with the

publication commending the company's progress toward workplace gender equality.

Far Eastone Operation Status and Strategic Planning for 2014

���� Transformation, Innovation, Wow

Information, Communications and Technology (ICT) business is ever-changing. Abiding to its five major core values –Trustworthy, Proactive, Innovative,

Accountable, Collaborative, Far Eastone keeps on improving in numerous areas, including talent cultivation, product services, infrastructure and business

model, to further enhance its communication technologies and eventually become the leader in 4G technology. In addition, as NFC(Near Field

Communication) technologies and the new SoLoMo business model gradually mature, FET will continue to introduce new products and services so that

Page 7: Year 2014 Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd ... … · 0 Year 2014 Far EasTone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. Shareholders’ Meeting Handbook June 11, 2014 Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C

6

consumers can fully enjoy high-quality multimedia streaming, games and various APPs on the 4G LTE network. Consumers are sure to be wowed by the

experience.

���� Express Your Love. Let It Be Heard

A brand should not only be cutting-edge, but also connect consumers’ emotions. FET has transformed from a network provider to a platform provider, and

plans to evolve into a diversified service provider in the future, for one can only stand out in the fierce market competition by differentiating the brand.

Since oriental people are not used to openly showing affections to one another, FET wants to play “the connector” in society by promoting a three-year long

brand campaign “Express your love. Let it be heard” which began last year. FET hopes that this positive trend will spread from corporation outward to

society, and encourage everyone to show their family and friends that they really care.

���� Innovating Mobile Services to Monetize Digital Business

With the arrival of the 4G era, high-speed networks will connect individuals, mobile devices, and digital lifestyles, which will greatly alter customers’’

mindset and past experiences. Following this trend, FET will be more active in the integration of the eco-system, the development of innovative business

models, and the expansion of potential markets such as e-commerce, mobile payment, and mobile media to provide integrated services “anytime, anywhere,

on any screen”. Furthermore, FET will capitalize on the big data opportunity and offer comprehensive solutions in areas including voice, data, and cloud

services for our corporate consumers; and also provide consumers with more accurate mobile advertisements and applications. The mobile value chain of

social media business can be fully understood and made profitable by leveraging the network advantage of telecom operators.

���� Strengthening Employee Cultivation to Prepare for the New Era

Human capital is the biggest asset of a corporation, and meticulous training of talents is the only way for a company to overcome challenges and maintain

its competitive edge in the ever-changing competitive market. In 2014, FET will further emphasize the five major core values among all employees,

discover and develop more talents to face the upcoming challenges brought about by emerging markets and the realization of the 4G network. In addition,

FET will establish a comprehensive welfare system, complete professional career development training programs, and transparent communication methods

to create a long-term and stable talent cultivation program. By implementing these projects, employees will identify themselves more with the entire morale

can increase continuously.

Looking forward to 2014, Far Eastone will keep on providing the best ICT services, as well as create maximum value for our shareholders and become

the most sought-after employer among employees as we realize our corporate commitment. At the same time we are dedicated as ever to exceeding

customers’ expectations with innovation and passion. Furthermore, Far Eastone will continue to reward society by promoting our corporate social

responsibility dual concept: “Eco-fashion, Creative responsibility”. By combining environmental protection advocacy with Information, Communications

and Technology, we can help the sustainability of Taiwan, and let the love carry on!

Last but not least, we would like to thank you all again, and we welcome your suggestions and comments. Wish you all good health and all the best.
