Corporation (present position)

Reason for nominating the candidate for Director and a summary of expected roles

Kunio Oroku has extensive experience and broad insight stemming from his roles in management in Okinawa-

based companies. The Company expects that he will leverage his experience and insight in decision-making

about the Company's business activities and contribute to the sustainable growth of the Company as an Outside

Director. Therefore, the Company has again nominated him for the position of Outside Director. If the election

of Kunio Oroku is approved, the Company also expects him to serve as the Chairman of the Nomination and

Compensation Committee to be involved in the selection of candidates for the Company's Directors, decisions

on remuneration for Directors and other matters from an objective and neutral standpoint.

Special interests

Although Kunio Oroku serves as a Senior Advisor of Ryukyu Broadcasting Corporation, most business

transactions between the corporation and the Company are routine and account for less than 1% of the net sales

for each company, which has no effect on the independence of Outside Directors.

Therefore, the Company has again nominated him for the position of Outside Director. If the election of

Compensation Committee to be involved in the selection of candidates for the Company's Directors, decisions

on remuneration for Directors and other matters from an objective and neutral standpoint.
