Notice concerning Partial Amendments of the Articles of Incorporation

Meiji Holdings Co., Ltd. (the "Company") today announces that its Board of Directors, at a meeting held today, resolved to submit a proposal for Partial Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation regarding the Decision-making Body for Dividends of Surplus, etc. to the 17th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on June 26, 2026, as described below.

  1. Reason for Proposed Amendments

    We propose to amend Article 44 (Decision-making Body for Dividends of Surplus, etc.) of the Company's Articles of Incorporation as follows. In light of the view that decisions regarding dividends of surplus, etc. are best made by the Board of Directors-whose members possess a high level of expertise-in order to maximize shareholders' medium- to long-term interests and to enable flexible and timely shareholder returns, the Company will continue to allow such matters to be determined by the Board of Directors. At the same time, recognizing the growing importance of constructive dialogue with shareholders concerning capital allocation, including the enhancement of shareholder returns and growth investments, the amendment will also permit such matters to be determined by a resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders when proposals are submitted by shareholders.
