The establishment of a nomination committee or compensation committee has not been confirmed.

The Company has established a Risk Management Committee, chaired by the Representative Director and President, which classifies risks into "Division-Managed Risks" and "Company-wide Managed Risks." Each division head, acting as risk officer, identifies, evaluates, and reports on risks on a quarterly basis, which are then integrated into ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) and overseen by the Board of Directors.
