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.Because a proposal to appoint an outside officer will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Although the 3 audit and supervisory board members meet the Tokyo Stock Exchange's requirements for independent officers, they have not been appointed as independent officers in light of the company's own policy for appointing independent officers.
