Reference Documents for the General Meeting of Shareholders

Proposals and Reference Information Proposal 1: Partial Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
  1. Reasons for the Proposal

    In June 2021, the Company introduced an executive officer system to clarify the responsibilities and authority for business execution, increase management agility, and strengthen corporate governance by separating management decision-making and supervision functions from business execution functions. Four (4) years have passed since the system was introduced, and the system has been improved. Therefore, to adapt the total number of directors at an appropriate level commensurate with the current situation, we will change Article 18 of the current Articles of Incorporation (Number of Directors) from the current "15 or fewer" to "11 or fewer."

  2. Content of Amendments

The content of amendments is as follows:

(Amended portions are indicated by underlining.)

Current Articles of Incorporation

Proposed amendment

Article 1 to Article 17 (Articles omitted) (Number of Directors)

Article 18

The Company shall have 15 or fewer Directors. Article 19 to Article 44 (Articles omitted)

Article 1 to Article 17 (as present) (Number of Directors)

Article 18

The Company shall have 11 or fewer Directors. Article 19 to Article 44 (as present)

Proposal 2: Election of Eight (8) Directors

The terms of office of all eight (8) Directors in their present positions will expire upon the conclusion of this General Meeting. Accordingly, the Company proposes the election of eight (8) Directors (including four (4) Outside Directors). Director Hiromi Wada will retire from office upon the conclusion of this General Meeting.
