The proposal requests the purchase of up to 18,261,937 shares from Mr. Yasuyuki Nambu and others in cash, within one year of the meeting\u2019s conclusion. The Board of Directors judged that the procedure based on Article 160 of the Companies Act, which forms the basis of the proposal, is inappropriate, and since the acquisition is essentially infeasible, resolved to oppose the proposal.\n\n### Future Outlook and Company Response\nOur company opposes the proposal and emphasizes the importance of exercising shareholder rights and adhering to proper procedures consistent with the Companies Act. The proposal aims to maintain influence of the founding family shareholders. From the perspective of corporate governance and protection of minority shareholders, we will proceed cautiously. We will continue to ensure transparency and fairness while paying close attention to developments in upcoming shareholder meetings.","jir_financial_highlights":"","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#PasonaGroup, #IRType, #JapanStocks","jir_key_figures":"Proposed shareholder: Mercury AIFLNP V.C.I.C Ltd\nMaximum proposed shares: 18,261,937 shares\nProposal period: from three months after the conclusion of the general meeting to one year","jir_meta_title":"\u3010Pasona Group\u3011Opposes Shareholder Proposal | July 22, 2026","jir_meta_description":"Pasona Group\u2019s Board of Directors has resolved to oppose the shareholder proposal.
