Personal reasons
As all 7 directors in the current structure will reach the end of their terms upon the conclusion of the Company's 115th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for 27 August 2026, 7 director candidates, all of them candidates for reappointment, have been selected. Saito Tomotaka (齋藤 友孝) has worked for many years at financial institutions and has extensive knowledge of finance and accounting, as well as experience overseeing human resources and labor affairs at a general business company. The Company has therefore asked him to serve as a corporate auditor, expecting him to appropriately audit the directors' execution of their duties and provide useful advice on the Company's management.
