Remuneration for Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board members with subtotals for each type of remuneration and numbers of recipients for Fiscal Year 2026
| Directors (excluding outside directors) |
8 members | ¥259 million |
|---|---|---|
| Audit & Supervisory Board Members (excluding outside Audit & Supervisory Board members) |
2 members | ¥23 million |
| Outside Officers | 9 members | ¥93 million |
With the resolution of General Meeting of Shareholders, the Company decides the maximum remuneration paid to directors should be 600 million yen in total (the number of directors involved in the resolution is 12; June 25, 2024) and as for Audit & Supervisory Board members shall be 120 million yen in total (the number of Audit & Supervisory Board members involved in the resolution is 4; June 30, 1998).
The remuneration paid to directors, based on the following policies decided by the resolution of the Board of Directors, consists with the flat amount determined by the appointment and outside director, other directors besides, and with the productivity-linked remuneration calculated by the performance feedback of each directors by certain standard.
The basic policy and method of determining the remuneration of the Company's directors (excluding outside directors) are determined by the Board of Directors after deliberation and reporting by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, an optional committee with independent outside directors comprising the majority of members.
The remuneration paid to Audit & Supervisory Board members is flat amount and the specific amount is determined following the standard decided at Board of Directors.
Regarding the remuneration of the directors (excluding outside directors), the fixed compensation notified in advance (so-called bonus) paid in June every year corresponds to the productivity-linked remuneration.
If the company performance payment rate and the individual performance payment rate are both 100%, the payment ratio will be 43.5% of the total annual remuneration (short-term incentive: 29%, medium-to long-term incentive: 14.5%). In addition, the monthly remuneration corresponds to remuneration other than productivity-linked remuneration, and the payment ratio is 56.5% of the total annual remuneration when both the company performance payment rate and the individual performance payment rate are 100% from fiscal year 2026.
Of the remuneration of the Company's directors (excluding outside directors), the monthly remuneration is paid by adding the "role allowance" and "director's allowance" to the basic salary and the amount of payment is set for each rank. Additionally, stock-based compensation calculated at a specified rate is paid. In addition, the standard amount of fixed compensation notified in advance is set in conjunction with the monthly remuneration.
When calculating the fixed compensation notified in advance, which is a productivity-linked remuneration, as for short-term incentives, the company performance payment rate is calculated from the standard index (consolidated operating profit + equity method investment profit + consolidated bonus) processed from consolidated operating income, and as for medium- to long-term incentives, the company performance payment rate is calculated based on the three-year compound annual growth rate of the standard index. In addition, the individual performance payment rate is determined by the degree of achievement of the goals set for each individual. After that, the amount of payment for each individual is finally decided by multiplying the standard amount by each payment rate according to the following formula.
[Formula for calculating the average annual growth rate of the standard index]
Compound annual growth rate = {(standard index ÷ standard index 3 terms ago) to the 1/3 power} -1
[Formula for calculating short-term and medium- to long-term incentives]
Individual payment amount = Standard amount × Company performance payment rate × Individual performance payment rate
The reasons for adopting the above standard index are as follows.
(A) Improving the performance of the entire group, including equity method affiliates is the main role of officers.
(B) Consolidated operating income excluding the effects of fluctuations in bonus payments is considered to be a better indicator of company performance.
The basic policy and method of determining the remuneration of the Company's directors (excluding outside directors) are determined by the Board of Directors after deliberation and reporting by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, an optional committee with independent outside directors comprising the majority of members.
When determining the amount of productivity-linked remuneration to be paid to directors in the relevant fiscal year, the Board of Directors of the Company is considered to be in a position to most appropriately evaluate each director individually in terms of the individual performance payment rate. Therefore, we delegated to Tsuyoshi Murai, Representative Director and Group CEO, and Naoki Hyakutake, Representative Director, to determine the payment rate based on the achievements of each director’s challenges and achievement targets (KPI) for the relevant fiscal year.
The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the individual remuneration of directors is determined by the above method, and that the content is in line with the decision policy.
Remuneration for directors of the Company is a matter to be resolved by the Board of Directors in accordance with the rules of the Board of Directors. We have been deliberating on the remuneration system, revision of calculation method for the fixed compensation notified in advance, and performance payment rate and individual performance payment rate for the fixed compensation notified in advance.
In the current fiscal year, at the Board of Directors meeting held on May 13, 2025, we discussed the company performance payment rate and individual performance payment rate regarding the fixed compensation notified in advance scheduled to be paid in June of the same year.
For the reference performance indicator of this fiscal year, actual performance in the previous fiscal year (the fiscal year ended March 2025) was 71,808 million yen (achievement rate: 98.5%) compared to a plan of 72,901 million yen.
Until fiscal year 2025, officers’ remuneration was paid based on the above system. From fiscal year 2026, in light of the fact that management is required to further promote the Company’s sustainable growth and enhancement of corporate value, and to appropriately fulfill their roles and responsibilities, including improving profitability and capital efficiency, the Company has introduced remuneration in the form of acquisition of the Company’s own shares. This is intended to foster greater value-sharing with stakeholders than ever before and to provide incentives for increasing corporate value.
This compensation is paid as a fixed portion based on the officer’s rank, with the purpose of contributing to the Officers’ Shareholding Association for the acquisition of company shares. Through this compensation, we will further increase management’s motivation to contribute to the enhancement of corporate value and promote value sharing with shareholders.
