[Monex Group] Partial Changes to Articles of Incorporation and General Meeting of Shareholders｜June 27, 2026

Outline of Changes to the Articles of Incorporation

Monex Group is planning partial amendments to its Articles of Incorporation to change the method of holding the general meeting of shareholders, the record date for voting rights, and the convocation authority. Specifically, they aim to introduce a general meeting without a fixed location, change the record date for voting rights from June 30 to within three months up to June 30, to ensure sufficient time for shareholder analysis. Additionally, the amendments will remove restrictions on the convocation authority and chairpersons to only representatives or executives, allowing the Board of Directors to select the most suitable Directors. These changes are scheduled to be approved at the general meeting of shareholders to be held on June 27, 2026.

Improvement of Shareholders Meeting Operations and Future Outlook

Through these amendments, Monex Group will implement virtual-only general meetings utilizing the internet and review the timing of the meetings to improve shareholder participation and the quality of discussions. The goal is to deepen dialogue with shareholders and enhance transparency of corporate governance. The amendments will take effect from July 1, 2026, and are expected to apply from the next annual general meeting of shareholders.
