The candidates mainly consist of reappointments, with outside directors and auditors qualifying as independent officers under the Tokyo Stock Exchange criteria. The 4 directors scheduled to retire are stepping down due to term expiration.\n\n### Introduction of Executive Officer System and Strengthening Corporate Governance\nThe company will introduce the executive officer system effective on the date of the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in late June 2026, aiming to separate management decision-making and supervisory functions from business execution. The Board of Directors will be streamlined to a five-member body (including 2 independent outside directors) and 4 executive officers will be appointed to promote nimble business operations. This aims to achieve transparent management and rapid decision-making.","jir_financial_highlights":"Number of Director Candidates: 6 (Unknown)\nNumber of Auditor Candidates: 2 (Unknown)\nNumber of Executive Officer Candidates: 4 (Newly Established)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#YellowHatLtd, #executive_change, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Number of Director Candidates: 6 (including 2 outside directors)\nNumber of Auditor Candidates: 2 (including 1 outside auditor)\nNumber of Executive Officer Candidates: 4 (Newly Established)","jir_meta_title":"Yellow Hat Ltd.
