Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. The board comprises 7 directors (including 5 outside directors: 4 Audit and Supervisory Committee members plus 1 non-Audit and Supervisory Committee member), and all Audit and Supervisory Committee members are independent outside directors. An executive officer system has been introduced to separate decision-making from business execution. The board of directors met 20 times during the fiscal year under review. The securities report does not mention the establishment of a nomination committee or a compensation committee.
Risk Management
The Company has established a Risk Management Committee and put in place Risk Management Regulations. Under this framework, each business division manages division-specific risks and reports periodically to the Committee. In addition to preventing risks before they occur based on the Compliance Regulations, the Company maintains a consultation framework with external experts such as lawyers and certified public accountants, and strives for early detection of potential risks through internal audits and audits by Audit and Supervisory Committee members.
Shareholder Returns
The company's basic policy is to pay a year-end dividend once a year, and interim dividends by resolution of the Board of Directors are also permitted under the Articles of Incorporation.

The dividend payout ratio target for the next fiscal period will be considered in light of future improvements in financial condition, with a specific target figure yet to be determined.

Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to pay a year-end dividend once a year, with interim dividends based on a record date of June 30 each year also possible by resolution of the Board of Directors.

ESG
The Company has not formulated a basic sustainability policy, and does not distinguish sustainability-related governance from its corporate governance framework. On the human capital side, the Company provides self-development opportunities such as a flextime system, work-from-home arrangements, promotion of leave-taking, and English conversation lessons, and is promoting the appointment of women and mid-career hires to management positions. As the organization is small in scale, no numerical targets have been set for indicators such as the proportion of management positions. No disclosure on climate change is included in the Annual Securities Report.
