Matters Concerning Controlling Shareholder and Related Governance

Relationship with the controlling shareholder and strengthened governance

At the end of this fiscal year, the parent company Pasona Group holds a majority of our shares, which may affect the appointment of directors and amendments to the articles of incorporation. To ensure independence, we will conduct reviews of related party transaction application documents, independence audits, and monitoring by the Audit & Supervisory Board. We will continuously disclose the propriety of related party transactions through enhanced monitoring by the full-time corporate auditors and the audit department.

Human relationships and disclosure posture

Yuko Nakasé serves concurrently as vice president and senior corporate officer of the Pasona Group. To ensure independence, we plan to utilize this for strengthening management operations. Later-mentioned inter-listed company personnel exchanges will be limited.
