Details of the change
Chairman and Representative Director Yoshikazu Oshimi (current position: Chairman and President, Representative Director)

Reason for the change
The Company has strived to minimize the risk of a management vacuum being created following the death of the former President through a structure in which the Chairman concurrently serves as the President. At its Nomination Advisory Committee, the Company has proceeded with the selection of a successor who will inherit and develop the creation of the foundation for the Company group's sustainable growth including the enhancement of project management and the expansion of the construction value chain, which were advanced by the former President. By taking the opportunity to transition to a Company with an Audit & Supervisory Committee toward improving corporate value and strengthening corporate governance, the Company decided to change the President to aim for the further growth of group performance and the creation of new value under the new top management.
