The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The Board of Directors opposes the shareholder proposal because it found no facts indicating material deficiencies in the internal control system and determined that an additional investigation by external experts was unnecessary. The company also explains that its supply chain management framework and the Board of Directors’ oversight are functioning appropriately.
