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.There is a specific possibility that Dalton and its affiliates may conduct a large-scale purchase of shares or other equity securities without following the procedures under the Company's response policy, which could impair the Company's medium- to long-term corporate value and the common interests of its shareholders. The proposal also seeks prior shareholder approval for the activation of defensive measures, respecting shareholder intent and taking into account the recommendation of the independent committee.
