Board of Directors of Yellow Hat Corporation has expressed opposition to all proposals by the proposing shareholders, including changes to the Articles of Incorporation concerning surplus dividends,

Articles of Incorporation to transfer the decision-making authority for surplus dividends and other surplus distributions from the Board of Directors to the General Meeting of Shareholders, surplus disposal, and a revision of remuneration including restricted stock compensation to directors (excluding outside directors). The Board of Directors expressed opposition to all these proposals, citing concerns about hindering sustainable growth, reducing the agility of capital policy, and potential mid- to long-term damage to shareholder value.\n\n### Details of Opposition Reasons and Future Outlook\nThe Board emphasizes the importance of executing flexible and agile capital policies, highlighting the need for an optimal combination of dividends and share buybacks. It also points out the mismatch of the current reward system with the average PBR of the TSE Prime Market and stresses the importance of a comprehensive evaluation process for remuneration decisions. The Company plans to maintain the current capital policy and compensation system moving forward, aiming for continuous improvement in shareholder value.","jir_financial_highlights":"Dividend Payout Ratio Target: 45\uff05 (Target for fiscal years ending March 2026 to March 2028)\nDividend: 62 yen ( interim 29 yen, year-end 33 yen ) (Scheduled to increase for 16 consecutive periods)\nShareholding Ratio of Proposal Shareholders: Approximately 14\uff05 (Shareholding ratio of proposing shareholders)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#YellowHat, #ShareholdersProposal, #BoardOfDirectorsOpinion, #CapitalPolicy","jir_key_figures":"Dividend Payout Ratio Target: 45% (fiscal years ending March 2026 to March 2028)\nDividends: 62 yen (interim 29 yen, year-end 33 yen), scheduled to increase for 16 consecutive periods\nShareholding ratio of proposing shareholders: approximately 14%","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Yellow Hat\u3011Board of Directors' Opposition to Shareholders' Proposal\uff5cMay 2026","jir_meta_description":"Yellow Hat Corporation expressed opposition to all proposals by shareholders regarding surplus dividend changes, surplus disposal, and executive remuneration revisions.
