Update of Acquisition Defense Measures and Basic Policy
In the shareholders' meeting held in August 2023, Weathernews Inc. approved the renewal of its acquisition defense measures. As the validity of the previous plan is set to expire in August 2026, the company has made partial revisions to its response measures to prevent control and preserve corporate value. The new plan clarifies joint cooperative actions and refines expressions to strengthen mechanisms that prevent inappropriate conduct by controlling shareholders. This approach respects shareholder intentions while pursuing long-term value enhancement and governance transparency.
Protection of Shareholders’ Interests and Future Measures
With the implementation of this plan, prior notification and shareholder intent confirmation will be conducted regarding acquisition proposals and control actions, prioritizing shareholder judgment. The establishment of an independent committee and increased information disclosure will monitor the legitimacy of acquisition activities and oppose actions that damage corporate value or the joint interests of shareholders. Going forward, the company aims to enhance capital policies and governance, promoting sustainable corporate value improvement and shareholder returns.
