(Note) The Company is to notify the Tokyo Stock Exchange that Mr. Hideo Egawa would be the independent director.
2. Reasons for appointment
In the aim of enhancing the Company's system of corporate governance with strengthening the supervisory function of
the board of directors and taking outside independent views into the management decision-making process, the Company has newly selected one more outside director so that its governance system would have two outside directors.
Mr. Hideo Egawa was appointed as a candidate for outside director since he has engaged in many important management
decisions for many years, and the Company therefore has decided that he could reflect both independence and wide-range views into its management.
