Directors after the change10Number
Shareholders’ meeting approvalRequired. The appointments are scheduled to be formally determined following approval at the 30th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled for late June 2026, and a resolution of the Board of Directors after the meeting concludes. Proposal name: Not disclosed
Reason for change

To date, the Company has steadily strengthened its management foundation through stable business operations. However, under rapidly changing business conditions, the Company determined that fundamental structural reform beyond the continuation of its existing approach is essential in order to respond promptly to capital market expectations, improve capital efficiency and maximize corporate value. The Company will establish a new management structure incorporating extensive external expertise to achieve further development and sustainable growth.

Reasons for appointment

Miwa Noriyasu (三輪 德泰) has held key positions at 株式会社フジドリームエアラインズ, an investee of KANEMATSU CORPORATION and 鈴与株式会社, and has demonstrated strong management capabilities. As an outside director of the Company, he also has a deep understanding of its management issues. The Company therefore determined that he is the most suitable candidate to lead the restoration of market confidence and rapid management improvement.
