Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors consists of 8 members, including 2 outside directors (outside ratio of 25%). No Nomination Committee or Compensation Committee has been established; instead, a Risk and Compliance Committee chaired by the President and Representative Director, along with a Management Council, serve as supplementary bodies. The term of office for directors is one year.
Risk Management
Based on the Risk Management Regulations, the Risk and Compliance Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director, meets once per quarter and manages overall risk management activities through four processes: risk identification, analysis, evaluation, and response. A system has been established under which the Internal Audit Office (2 members) audits the risk management status of each department and reports the results to the President and Representative Director. Regulations covering information security, personal information protection, compliance, and subsidiary management have been established, and the company strives for the prevention and early detection of risks through cooperation with outside experts.

No change to the policy of prioritizing retained earnings while the company remains in a growth phase. No share buybacks or shareholder benefit programs are being implemented.
Dividend Policy
The company's policy is to implement stable and continuous dividends over the medium to long term, but at present it prioritizes securing retained earnings as it is in a growth phase.
