Shareholders' Meeting
Status of efforts to revitalize the shareholders' meetings and facilitate the exercise of voting rights
| Supplementary Explanation | |
|---|---|
| Early Dispatch of Shareholders' Meeting Notices | We strive to provide the convocation notice as early as possible to ensure shareholders have sufficient time to thoroughly review the proposals for the general meeting. The convocation notice for the 15th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders was posted on our IR website on Wednesday, April 3. |
| Scheduling of Shareholders' Meetings to Avoid Concentration Dates | Our company’s fiscal year ends in January, and we hold the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on a date different from the peak day. The 15th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders was held on Thursday, April 25, 2024. |
| Exercise of Voting Rights by Electronic Methods | Our company allows voting rights to be exercised via the internet through the "Voting Rights Exercise Website" operated by Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd., and "Smart Exercise," which enables voting via smartphones. |
| Participation in the Electronic Voting Rights Platform and other initiatives to improve the voting rights exercise environment for institutional investors | Our company participates in the Voting Rights Exercise Platform operated by ICJ, Inc. |
| Provision of a Summary of the Notice of Convocation in English | For the convocation notice, we prepare an English translation of the formal convocation notice and reference documents, which are published on our website and the Electronic Voting Platform on the same day as the Japanese version. |
| Others | Since the General Meeting of Shareholders is a forum for constructive dialogue with shareholders, we aim to conduct the meeting in a more understandable manner from the shareholders' perspective. To that end, we are establishing an appropriate environment for the exercise of shareholders' rights, as outlined above and below. ・To help shareholders understand our business and make informed decisions, we hold a Management Update Briefing after the General Meeting of Shareholders. The content of the briefing is transcribed and published at a later date. ・If institutional investors, who hold shares under the names of trust banks or other entities, wish to exercise their voting rights at the General Meeting of Shareholders, we will consult with the trust banks or other nominal holders and review the possibility of allowing them to exercise their voting rights. |
