Remuneration for Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members

Directors' Remuneration

1. Basic Policies for Director Remuneration

The basic policies for director remuneration are as follows:

  • Ensure the transparency, fairness, and objectivity of remuneration and establish a remuneration level worthy of his / her roles and responsibilities
  • Create a system that can reflect the contributions of individual directors by introducing performance-linked remuneration combining a diverse range of indicators to clarify roles and responsibilities for company results.
  • Establish a remuneration system that achieves our social responsibilities as a company, while allowing the Company to share profits with shareholders through raising medium- to long-term corporate value.

From the viewpoint of strengthening governance, the Company has introduced the Malus and Clawback Clause, under which performance-linked compensation is disallowed or reduced in the event of misconduct, effective from compensation for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.

2. Procedures for Determining Remuneration

In accordance with the policy above, the Company's compensation for directors is deliberated by the Compensation Advisory Committee, considering compensation levels of other comparable companies, which are researched by an outside specialized organization at the Company's request. The Committee is chaired by an outside director and composed of a majority of outside directors and outside experts, meeting four times a year. The average attendance rate in FY2023 was 100%(3/3). The Committee reports the results of the deliberation to the Board of Directors. Based on the report, the Board of Directors determines the compensation of directors.

  • Individual final payments are assessed and determined by the president appointed by the Board of Directors after the president determines the degree of contribution based on the commitment of individual executives and conducts individual interviews.
  • In the event of an unexpected rapid change in the business environment, the amount and duration of the reduction are clearly indicated, and the decision to reduce monthly, bonus and stock compensation is left to the President.

3.Remuneration System

  • Remuneration for Members of the Board of Directors (excluding Outside Directors) consists of the basic remuneration, which is set at a level commensurate with the role and responsibility of each position, bonus, which is linked to business results for a single fiscal year, and share remuneration, which is linked to medium- to long- term performance targets.
  • When calculating the performance-linked portion, the same factor is used for all positions.
  • Remuneration for Outside Directors consists only of the basic remuneration.
  1. *1. Range from 0 to 0.92 times according to the degree of achievement for performance targets.
  2. *2. It was resolved at the 70th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 29, 2015 that the maximum of share remuneration per fiscal year would be 400,000 points (i.e. 400,000 ordinary shares of the Company); provided, however, that this represents the number of shares applicable prior to the consolidation of shares effected on October 1, 2017, which is equivalent to 40,000 points (i.e. 40,000 ordinary shares of the Company) after the consolidation of shares.
  3. *3. For the share remuneration granted during a Member of the Board of Directors' service on the Board, shares (a part of which will be paid in cash equivalent to the market value) will be delivered through a stock delivery trust at the time of his/her resignation.

4. Calculation method

Variable remuneration for directors (excluding outside directors) is calculated in accordance with the following table.

  • (1)Bonus (based on FY2024 results, to be paid in July 2025)
