Executive Remuneration

(1) Matters related to the policy for determining the details of remuneration, etc. for individual directors

The policy for determining the details of remuneration, etc. for individual directors (excluding audit and supervisory committee members. The same applies throughout this section) was decided at the Board of Directors meeting held in June 2025. The details are as summarized below.

  1. The remuneration of directors who also serve as executive officers
    1-1.The policy regarding types of remuneration and their method of calculation
      The remuneration of directors who also serve as executive officers is made up of a basic remuneration, a performance-
      based remuneration, and a trust-type stock remuneration. The performance-based remuneration is positioned as an
      incentive remuneration that reflects factors such as the short-term performance of the departments of which the
      director is in charge, and the trust-type stock remuneration is positioned as an incentive remuneration that reflects
      the enhancement of the Group’s medium- to long-term corporate value.
      The basic remuneration is a monetary remuneration that is not linked to performance indicators, and its amount is
      calculated in accordance with the rules and internal regulations established in advance by the Board of Directors, based
      on the position of the director and whether or not they have the right to represent the company.
      The performance-based remuneration is aone of the monetary remuneration that takes performance indicators into
      consideration as a factor, and its amount is calculated in accordance with the rules and internal regulations established
      in advance by the Board of Directors, based on an evaluation of the director for the previous fiscal year. The evaluation
      of each director for the previous fiscal year is based on a comprehensive consideration of the extent to which
      performance targets related to their duties have been achieved, and the results of initiatives aimed at resolving issues.
      Performance indicators are related to the operating profit of the business departments of which the director is in
      charge. The reason for selecting these performance indicators is that they are considered to be appropriate as one of
      the factors to be considered when evaluating the short-term performance of the departments of which the director is in
      charge. The trust-type stock remuneration is a non-monetary remuneration where shares in the company are issued.
      The number of shares issued is calculated in accordance with the rules established in advance by the Board of Directors,
      based on the position of the director and whether or not they have the right to represent the company.
    1-2.The period during which remuneration is paid
      The yearly amount of the basic remuneration and performance-based remuneration is decided in June of each year, and
      one-twelfth of that amount is paid monthly from July to June of the following year. Trust-type stock remunerations are
      delivered when the director resigns steps down.
    1-3.The policy regarding the ratio of the types of remuneration
      In order to ensure that performance-based remuneration and trust-type stock remuneration fully function as
      incentive remunerations, these remunerations shall account for a reasonable proportion of the total remuneration.
    1-4.Matters concerning the authorization to determine the details of remuneration, etc. for individual directors
      The Board of Directors authorizes President Kazuya Nakano to carry out the evaluation of each director for the previous
      fiscal year on the basis of which their performance-based remuneration is calculated. This is because it is considered
      more appropriate for the president, who bears ultimate responsibility for the management of the Group, to conduct
      such an evaluation from a comprehensive perspective rather than having it determined by majority vote at a Board of
      Directors meeting in which the appraised person themselves participates.
  2. Remuneration of Outside Directors
    2-1.The policy regarding types of remuneration and their method of calculation
      The remuneration of outside directors (excluding audit and supervisory committee members; the same applies
      hereinafter) consists solely of a basic remuneration, which is a monetary remuneration not linked to performance
      indicators. The amount is determined individually, taking into account such factors as general remuneration levels at
      other companies and individual circumstances.
    2-2.The period during which remuneration is paid
      The yearly amount is decided in June of each year, and one-twelfth of that amount is paid monthly from July to June of
      the following year.
    2-3.The policy regarding the ratio of the types of remuneration
      The policy is that the remuneration of outside directors shall consist solely of a basic remuneration that is not linked to
      performance indicators.
    2-4.Matters concerning the authorization to determine the details of remuneration, etc. for individual directors
      The Board of Directors authorizes President Kazuya Nakano to determine the individual basic remuneration of outside
      directors. This is because it is considered more appropriate for the President to make such determinations on an
      individual basis, taking into account individual circumstances, rather than discussing the remuneration of each outside
      director at a Board of Directors meeting in which the person concerned participates.
      To ensure objectivity and transparency in the remuneration of outside directors and in the process for determining such
      remuneration, the draft remuneration proposal for outside directors is presented to the Nomination and Remuneration
      Committee for its opinion, and the final determination is made after fully taking into account the opinions of the
      Nomination and Remuneration Committee. Since the amount of remuneration for individual directors has been
      determined through these procedures, the Board of Directors has determined that the details are in line with the
      decision-making policy.
  3. Remuneration of Directors Who Do Not Serve as Executive Officers (Excluding Outside Directors)
    The remuneration of directors who do not serve as executive officers (excluding outside directors) shall be determined in
    accordance with the remuneration framework applicable to directors who also serve as executive officers as described in
    Section I above. However, performance-based remuneration shall not be paid to directors other than the Chairman of the Board.

(2) Matters concerning resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders regarding remuneration, etc. for directors
