Alignment with Shareholder Interests Through Performance-Based Compensation

「If this proposal is approved, the annual limit on director compensation will be ¥400 million, of which no more than ¥40 million will be for outside directors, excluding employee salaries for directors concurrently serving as employees,」

「The company's basic policy is to link director compensation to shareholder interests so that the compensation structure provides sufficient incentives for sustained enhancement of corporate value, while setting compensation for each director at an appropriate level based on the director's responsibilities. Executive bonuses are cash compensation reflecting performance indicators to encourage improved performance in each fiscal year, and are set at approximately 1% of consolidated profit before income taxes, representing the results of the Group's business activities.」
