This movement will assist in supporting AUO’s future globalization strategy.

President and COO of AUO, Dr. L.J Chen, stated that AUO has been active in training managerial talent by means of empowering and exposing them to different areas of operation. The Company has aggressively developed a talent pool with strong and well-rounded portfolio that has enabled AUO to emerge successful through two mergers and industry cycles. Dr. Chen himself is one of the best examples of this, with his experience in over 5 different job areas at AUO. Across-the-board exposure to key areas in manufacturing, sales & marketing, or R&D enables managers’ comprehensive thinking to be in tune with both customers and organization needs, so as to face continual change on a global scale.

These new personnel arrangements center on mid- to long-term developments in global operations.

Mr. Michael Tsai joined AUO in 1997 and was appointed to Senior Associated VP of IT Display Manufacturing in 2007. Mr. Tsai has many years experience in procurement, logistics, production and quality management.

Moreover, the Company appointed Dr. Yong-Hong Lu, previously Vice President of TV Display Manufacturing, to VP of Global Supply Chain Management.
