Efforts to Revitalize Shareholders' Meetings and Facilitate the Exercise of Voting Rights

Early dispatch of notice of convocation for shareholders

As a general rule, we try to ship 3 weeks before the date of the meeting.

Establishing a general meeting of shareholders that avoids concentration days

After confirming the concentration date of the General Meeting of Shareholders with the trust bank, we set the date to avoid the concentration date.

Exercise of voting rights by electromagnetic means

Since the 21st Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on September 26, 2017, the Company has allowed shareholders to exercise their voting rights by electromagnetic means.
