ITEM 16.G.    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Gogoro is a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act and our ordinary shares and Public Warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The Nasdaq Global Select Market rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. As such, we are permitted to follow the corporate governance practices of our home country, the Cayman Islands, in lieu of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq applicable to U.S. domestic companies. For example, we are not required to have a majority of the board consisting of independent directors, have a compensation committee or a nominating and corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors, nor have an audit committee of at least three members. We have relied on and intend to continue to rely on some of these exemptions. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies that are subject to Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. As a foreign private issuer, we are also subject to reduced disclosure requirements and are exempt from certain provisions of the U.S. securities rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers such as the rules regulating solicitation of proxies and certain insider reporting and short-swing profit rules.
As a result, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. We may utilize these exemptions for as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer.
Other than the home country practice described above, we are not aware of any significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. domestic companies under the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.
ITEM 16.H.    MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
