Investigation by the Independent Committee into the Curation Issue and Consideration of Improvement Measures

「In response, at a meeting of the Board of Directors held on 15 December 2016, the Company determined that it was necessary to investigate the detailed facts and causes relating to this series of issues and consider necessary remedial measures. It therefore established a third-party committee composed solely of independent members with no interests in the Company. The committee's investigation was expected to take approximately 3 months, and the Company planned to receive and publish the committee's investigation report in early March 2017.」
