The proposed amendments will expand the qualifications of the person convening the board of directors and the chairman, allowing outside directors and other directors to also serve as conveners and chairpersons. The aim is to improve the flexibility and transparency of the board's operations. Currently, the system is that the chairman convenes the meetings and serves as chairperson; the revision will change to a system where directors designated by the board of directors will conduct these roles.\n\n### Impact on Shareholders and Future Outlook\nThis amendment is intended to streamline the operation of the board and strengthen corporate governance. It is expected to enable faster decision-making and enhance transparency, contributing to stronger governance. The effective date is scheduled for June 26, 2026, subject to shareholder approval, and will be officially implemented thereafter. Going forward, the company aims to improve corporate value through more flexible and efficient board management.","jir_financial_highlights":"","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#ShowaDenkoMaterials, #ArticlesOfIncorporationAmendment, #IR, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Proposal date for the amendments: June 26, 2026 (scheduled)\nContent of the amendments: Expansion of qualifications for the convener and chairman of the board of directors\nEffective date: June 26, 2026 (scheduled)","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Showa Denko Materials\u3011 Flexibility in Board Management | June 2026","jir_meta_description":"Showa Denko Materials plans to submit a partial amendment to the Articles of Incorporation at the shareholders' meeting on June 26, 2026.
