Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee (transitioned March 2025). Board consists of 10 directors (including 3 Audit and Supervisory Committee members and 2 outside directors). Transactions with the parent company, GMO Internet Group, are conducted in accordance with the intra-group transaction management rules to protect minority shareholders. No nomination committee or compensation committee has been established.
Risk Management
The Risk and Compliance Committee, which meets once a month, quantitatively and qualitatively assesses risk events based on two axes—urgency and importance—and examines and monitors countermeasures for material risks, taking into account the views of outside directors (attorneys). The results are reported to the Board of Directors on a regular basis. As for climate change risk, given that the environmental impact of the company's main businesses is small, it is currently addressed within the scope of ordinary governance management.
Shareholder Returns
FY2025 (ended December 2025) actual dividend was ¥241 per share (year-end lump sum). FY2026 (ending December 2026) forecast dividend is ¥210 per share (year-end lump sum).

Dividend Policy
The Company's basic policy is to maintain a payout ratio of 65% or higher and continue performance-linked dividends. From FY2026 (ending December 2026), DOE (consolidated dividend on equity ratio) of 5% has been newly introduced as a lower-limit indicator. Dividends of surplus are implemented flexibly based on resolutions of the Board of Directors. The annual dividend forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is ¥210 per share (¥0 at the end of Q1, Q2, and Q3, and ¥210 at year-end).
ESG
Positioning human capital investment as a key management priority, the company is promoting AI and IT literacy education for all full-time employees (G-test certification rate of 59.5%, IT Passport certification rate of 90.9%). It achieved a female manager ratio of 16.7% and a 100% male childcare leave uptake rate. It has established diverse work arrangements and health support systems, including flextime, hybrid work, and well-being facilities. Climate change risk is currently excluded from priority disclosure, as the environmental impact of its main businesses is considered minimal.
