UMC Corporate Governance Statement



 

United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) bases its corporate governance structures and practices on Taiwan's Company, and Securities and Exchange Laws, and their related rules and regulations.

 
Audit Committee and Independent Directors
UMC established an audit committee to comply with the corporate governance listing standard of the NYSE, the requirement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and ROC Company Act. After the re-election of directors in the shareholders' meeting on June 10, 2009, the board of directors appointed Chung-Laung Liu, Chun-Yen Chang, Paul S.C. Hsu and Cheng-Li Huang to be the members of the audit committee. Each audit committee member is an independent director who is financially literate with accounting or related financial management expertise. Paul S.C. Hsu and Cheng-Li Huang qualify as audit committee financial experts as defined under the listing standard. The audit committee meets as often as it deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities.
