The term of Mr. Yoshihiko Yamada’s directorship expired at the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Gogoro In.c (the "Company") held on May 28, 2025.

To succeed Mr. Yamada, the Board resolved to appoint Ms. Karen Yifen CHANG as a new Director. Ms. Chang is qualified as an independent director, and will serve as a member of the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board.

As a veteran from retail and consumer industry, Ms. Chang served as the chief executive officer of Jack Wolfskin Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a leading international outdoor brand, from August 2017 to March 2022, after being a non-executive director for two years.

In addition, Ms. Chang has many years of management consultancy and investment banking experiences from working at KPMG in Washington DC and Los Angeles in the United States as well as Jardine Fleming, Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse in Shanghai and Hong Kong successively from 1992 to 2006. Ms. Chang has been an independent non-executive director of Sun Art Retail Group Limited (HKEX: 6808) since June 2011 and Uni-President China Holdings Ltd. (HKEX: 220) since May 2025.

Ms. Chang received a bachelor’s degree in Arts in English Literature from Fu-Jen Catholic University in Taiwan in 1986 and a Master of Business Administration degree from the George Washington University in Washington D.C. in the United States in 1988.

Meanwhile, the term of the Chief Operation Officer of the Company, Mr. Pass Liao, concluded on May 31, 2025.
