Background of CEO Change\nIn April 2026, our group implemented a corporate split of the railway business and commenced a new group management structure. Along with this, rapid decision-making toward the expansion of the real estate business and creation of new businesses is required, and the recruitment of external talent has also become an issue. In light of these changes in the management environment, we will replace the Representative Director President and CEO with Nobuyuki Okajima, renewing the system to centralize authority for internal business execution.\n\n### Details of Executive Changes and Future Structure\nThe decision will be formally made at the Board of Directors meeting following the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June 16, 2026. Nobuyuki Okajima will assume the position of Representative Director President and CEO, while the former CEO, Mitsuhiko Tobikita, will take the role of Representative Director Chairman to promote collaboration with municipalities along the railway lines and other industries, focusing on enhancing corporate value. Through this, we aim to strengthen the management responsibility structure for the next stage of growth for our group.","jir_financial_highlights":"Effective Date of Change: 2026\u5e746\u670816\u65e5 (Unknown)\nNew Representative Director President and CEO: Nobuyuki Okajima (Unknown)\nFormer Representative Director President and CEO: Mitsuhiko Tobikita (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#NANKAIElectricRailway, #ExecutivePersonnelChange, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Scheduled Effective Date of Change: 2026\u5e746\u670816\u65e5\nNew Representative Director President and CEO: Nobuyuki Okajima\nFormer Representative Director President and CEO: Mitsuhiko Tobikita","jir_meta_title":"NANKAI Electric Railway Co., Ltd. | Nobuyuki Okajima Appointed New President | June 2026","jir_meta_description":"NANKAI Electric Railway Co., Ltd. plans to appoint Nobuyuki Okajima as Representative Director President and CEO effective June 16, 2026.
