Change of Certified Public Accountants, etc.
Murata Manufacturing Co.,Ltd.
In light of the extended period of service by the current accounting auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC, we received proposals from and compared multiple audit firms. We determined that an audit from a fresh perspective could be expected and that KPMG AZSA LLC sufficiently meets the criteria for independence, expertise, quality control systems and a global audit framework.
The change is scheduled to be formally decided following approval at the 90th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June 2026. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC's term will expire upon the conclusion of that meeting, and KPMG AZSA LLC is scheduled to take office.
Approval is scheduled at the 90th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June 2026
