Resignation\nShigenobu Nagamori, founder of Nidek Co., Ltd., resigned from the honorary chairman position effective February 26, 2026, in accordance with his wishes. Mr. Nagamori had already stepped down from executive roles, including representative director, as of December 19 last year. With this resignation, he has decisively withdrawn entirely from Nidek both in title and substance. Mr. Nagamori has concluded 50 years of management responsibilities and declared entrusting the company\u2019s leadership to the next generation.\n\n### Background of the Resignation and Future Outlook\nMr. Nagamori expressed his intention to step down honorably in light of the Tokyo Stock Exchange\u2019s designation of the company as a special attention stock and allegations related to improper accounting, thereby promoting the revitalization of the new Nidek. He hopes his resignation will serve as a 'blank canvas' for the next generation and stated his focus will shift towards human resource development. He called on investors for continued unwavering support of the revitalized Nidek.","jir_financial_highlights":"Resignation Date: 2026\u5e742\u670826\u65e5 (Unknown)\nAge of Shigenobu Nagamori: 81 years old (Unknown)\nFounded Year: 1973 (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NidekCoLtd, #ExecutiveChange, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Resignation Date: 2026\u5e742\u670826\u65e5\nAge of Shigenobu Nagamori: 81 years old\nFounded Year: 1973","jir_meta_title":"Nidek Co., Ltd.
