Proposal 2: Election of Seven Directors (Excluding Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members)

The terms of office of all seven Directors (excluding Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members; hereinafter, the same applies in this proposal) will expire at the conclusion of this Meeting.

Therefore, the Company proposes the election of seven Directors.

This proposal was decided based on a report from the Nomination and Remuneration Advisory Committee, which is chaired by an Independent Outside Director.

The candidates for Directors are as follows:

(Note) The Company insures all Directors through a directors and officers liability insurance (D&O Insurance) policy, as stipulated in Article 430-3, Paragraph (1) of the Companies Act. If this proposal is approved as proposed, and if the candidates are appointed as Directors, they will be insured under the D&O Insurance policy. The policy covers damages that may arise from the insured person's assumption of liability incurred in the course of the performance of duties as a Director or Officer, or from receipt of claims pertaining to the pursuit of such liability. However, there are certain exclusions to coverage; for example, the policy does not cover damages caused by acts committed by a person with knowledge that said acts are in violation of laws and regulations. (The Company pays for all premiums (including the rider) and the insured person essentially pays for no premiums. The policy has a deductible and does not cover damages up to the amount of the deductible.) The Company plans to renew said insurance policy with similar terms during the term of office.

Opinion of the Audit and Supervisory Committee

In regard to the election of Directors of the Company, two Independent Outside Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members attended the Nomination and Remuneration Advisory Committee and expressed their opinions, while the Audit and Supervisory Committee shared and discussed the policy and procedures for the election of candidate Directors.

As a result of said discussion, the Audit and Supervisory Committee concluded that the details of the election of Directors are appropriate and that there are no special matters to be stated at the Shareholders' Meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act.
