Policy on Strategically Held Shares
Basic Policy
Our company does not hold strategically held shares unless it is recognized that doing so contributes to the stability of our group's business and enhancement of corporate value through the development of business relationships.
Review of Holding Appropriateness and Rationality
For each strategically held share, we specifically evaluate and verify the appropriateness of the holding purpose and the benefits and risks associated with it, then make a decision on whether to continue holding, sell, or reduce the holding. If the appropriateness of holding is not recognized, we will proceed with reduction, while gaining the understanding of the issuing company. Even if the appropriateness of holding is recognized, we may sell the shares considering market conditions, our company's management and financial strategies, etc.
Furthermore, regarding the appropriateness of strategically held shares as of the end of August 2025, the Board of Directors evaluated and verified both quantitative and qualitative benefits and risks associated with the holdings, including whether returns such as dividends were commensurate with the cost of capital, the impact of stock price fluctuations on our company's equity, and the qualitative significance of the holdings.
Exercise of Voting Rights
Our policy is to appropriately exercise voting rights after carefully examining the content of proposals and determining whether they contribute to the maintenance and improvement of our group's corporate value and enhancement of shareholder value. Furthermore, we will oppose any proposal, whether proposed by the company or shareholders, that would impair our group's corporate value and shareholder value. In the event of discovery of anti-social behavior or acts that pose such a risk, we will judge individual proposals regardless of the above criteria.
