Governance structure
direct ownership: 33.11%; portion subject to aggregation: 0.00%; total: 33.11%
When one company holds most of the voting rights, its wishes are more likely to prevail in management. How the interests of minority shareholders are protected is a key issue.
This is the number of people reported to the exchange as independent officers. Whether someone is an outside officer and whether they qualify as independent are separate determinations.
No changes from the previous report are described.
