Since Tsuji Hidetoshi (辻 秀敏) became representative director and president, the Company has operated under a dual representative director structure comprising the representative director and president and the representative director and chair. However, also taking into account that 3 years will have passed by the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the Company determined that transitioning to a one-representative-director structure is appropriate in order to make the management decision-making structure clearer and more agile.
