External director Kyoko Matsuoka no longer meets independence criteria, and Ms. Kikuyo Tsuno was newly appointed as a committee member. Ms. Tsuno brings extensive experience from Kyushu Electric Power and has been serving as a director of the company since June 2023. Her term runs from the conclusion of the general meeting of shareholders on June 27, 2024, until the shareholders\u2019 meeting in the final fiscal year.\n\n### Future Corporate Structure and Impact\nThis executive change is part of our efforts to enhance corporate governance. The newly appointed Ms. Tsuno is expected to contribute by leveraging her experience in labor and strategic fields to maintain a highly independent supervisory structure. This move aims to improve transparency and trust with shareholders and investors, as well as strengthen oversight functions for sustainable corporate growth.","jir_financial_highlights":"","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#Nishitetsu, #ExecutiveChange, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"Newly appointed independent committee member: Ms. Kikuyo Tsuno (born June 6, 1965)\nAppointment date: May 14, 2026\nTerm: From the general shareholders\u2019 meeting held on June 27, 2024, until the shareholders\u2019 meeting in the final fiscal year","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Nishitetsu\u3011Leadership Refresh | May 2026","jir_meta_description":"Nishitetsu announced its executive personnel changes on May 14, 2026, appointing Ms. Kikuyo Tsuno as a new independent committee member.
