Neither will remain on the Board of Directors. Koichi Ise (伊勢幸一) is scheduled to become an advisor, and Akihiro Maeda (前田章博) is scheduled to become an executive officer.
Because of his extensive executive experience leading business expansion and organizational transformation in the cloud and internet services sector, we are seeking the appointment of Hirotaka Tamaki (田面木宏尚) as a director so that he can appropriately oversee business execution and formulate and implement management strategies at the Company, where more sophisticated management is currently required to achieve medium- to long-term growth.
