Incentives to Enhance Corporate Value Through a Performance-Conditioned Share-Based Compensation Scheme

「The company has established a performance-based share compensation plan, known as a performance share unit plan (the "PSU Plan"), for directors other than directors serving as Audit and Supervisory Committee members and outside directors. The plan is intended to provide incentives to achieve annual and medium- to long-term performance targets and increase corporate value, while further promoting value sharing with shareholders. In addition to serving continuously as a director or other officer for a specified period, eligibility is subject to performance-based conditions calculated using financial metrics.」

「The plan was introduced to provide eligible directors with incentives to achieve sustained growth in our corporate value, further promote value sharing with shareholders and strengthen incentives to achieve performance targets.」
