Partial Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
At the Board Meeting held today, it was resolved that the Company will propose to make a partial
amendment to Articles of Incorporation at FY2022 Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to be heldon March 28, 2023.
1. Reasons for Amendments to Articles of Incorporation
The “Act Partially Amending the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act” (Act No. 70 of 2021)
was enforced on June 16, 2021. The Act legally allows listed companies may hold a general meeting ofshareholders without specifying a venue (so-called “virtual-only meeting of shareholders”). The Company
believes that expanding the options for holding shareholders' meetings in the future will make it easier for
more shareholders, including those in remote areas, to attend shareholders' meetings, thereby invigorating
and improving the efficiency of shareholders' meetings, and reducing risks associated with the spread ofinfectious diseases and large-scale disasters such as natural disasters. Therefore, the Company resolved topropose a partial amendment to Articles of Incorporation at FY2022 Ordinary General Meeting ofShareholders in order to provide an option to hold the General Meeting of Shareholders without specifying
a venue.
If this proposal is approved and the amendments to the Articles of Incorporation become effective, theCompany will give top priority to guaranteeing the rights of shareholders and will decide the way in which
we hold each meeting by resolution of the Board of Directors following careful consideration, taking intoconsideration the Company's and our shareholders' situation.
The Company has received written confirmation from the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry andthe Minister of Justice, dated January 4, 2023, that the Company meets the requirements specified by theMinistry of Economy, Trade and Industry Ordinance and the Ministry of Justice Ordinance.
