These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Because proposals for the election of outside officers will be submitted to the annual general meeting of shareholders. It was determined that each candidate is expected to provide supervision and auditing by drawing on their specialized knowledge and experience in corporate management, and that none has a special interest relationship with the Company, so no conflict of interest with general shareholders will arise.
