Group Co., Ltd. has resolved to propose a partial amendment to the Articles of Incorporation at the 12th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for March 26, 2026. The amendment aims to further promote the separation of management decision-making and business execution and to strengthen the governance framework. Specifically, in line with the president\u2019s role being assumed by an executive officer, the provisions of Article 15 (Convener and Chairperson), Article 22 (Representative Directors and Directors with Designated Roles), and Article 23 (Convener and Chairperson of the Board of Directors) will be amended.\n\n### Future Schedule and Impact\nThe amendments to the Articles are expected to be approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders on March 26, 2026, and will take effect from that date. Under the new provisions, the convener and chairperson rights for the General Meeting of Shareholders and Board of Directors, currently held by the director-president, will be shifted to directors pre-designated by the Board of Directors. This change clarifies the separation between management decision-making and business execution, which is anticipated to strengthen governance.","jir_financial_highlights":"Date of Articles Amendment: 2026-03-26 (Unknown)\nArticles Subject to Amendment: Articles 15, 22, 23 (Unknown)\nPurpose of Amendment: Governance enhancement through separation of management decision-making and business execution (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#K&OEnergyGroupCoLtd, #ArticlesAmendment, #GovernanceEnhancement, #general_ir, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Date of Proposal for Articles Amendment: 2026-03-26 (Date of General Meeting of Shareholders)\nEffective Date of Articles Amendment: 2026-03-26\nArticles Subject to Amendment: Articles 15, 22, 23","jir_meta_title":"K&O Energy Group Co., Ltd.
