In June 2025, the company transitioned to a company with an audit and supervisory committee. Outside directors now account for more than half of the board, and a Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee (chaired by an outside director, with outside directors comprising a majority of members) has been established to ensure transparency and fairness.
Risk Management
The company has established a Risk Management Committee chaired by the President and Executive Officer, and conducts risk assessments covering all business locations. Significant risks are identified and managed based on two axes—degree of impact and likelihood of occurrence—with each responsible department formulating and implementing avoidance and mitigation measures.

The basic policy is a year-end dividend (once annually), with the Articles of Incorporation also providing for the possibility of an interim dividend. Regarding the dividend forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027), the Company plans to disclose it promptly once the earnings forecast can be calculated.
