「As proposals for the annual general meeting of shareholders scheduled for 24 June 2026, we have submitted the proposals for the election of 8 directors and the election of 1 Audit & Supervisory Board member. If these proposals are approved, the company is expected to have a total of 11 directors and Audit & Supervisory Board members, comprising 8 directors, including 2 outside directors, and 3 outside Audit & Supervisory Board members. As outside directors will account for 25% of all directors, we will consider measures going forward from the standpoint of maintaining management oversight.」
The ratio of outside directors is expected to fall from the 28.5% projected from August 2023, as stated in the previous fiscal year, to 25% after the June 2026 general meeting, further weakening the maintenance policy. - 2026-06-03SoftenedGeneral Meetings of Shareholders
