Proposal 4: the Revision of the Amount of Compensation to Grant Restricted Stock to Directors (Excluding Directors Who Are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members and Outside Directors)

Compensation for Directors (excluding Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members and Outside Directors; hereinafter referred to as “Eligible Directors”) is composed of fixed compensation, performance-based compensation, and stock compensation. Regarding the stock compensation, grant of restricted stock to Eligible Directors was approved at the 82nd Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on June 29, 2022, with the amount presented below under “Current stock compensation” as the upper limit, separate from the fixed compensation and performance-based compensation.

Now, to provide an incentive to achieve the sustainable increase of the Company’s corporate value and further promote value sharing with shareholders, the Company proposes revising the upper limit of the total amount of monetary compensation claims granted for the delivery of restricted stock and the upper limit of the total number of common shares of the Company to be issued or disposed of as shown in “Revised stock compensation” below.

Results of the vote: coming soon!
