Initiatives and achievements of this Fiscal Year

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 ("2023"), the global economy continued to stagnate as in the previous year reflecting the protracted situation in Ukraine, the deteriorating conditions in the Middle East, the global inflation, and the elevated interest rates. In line with these trends, the semiconductor market also remained sluggish. To address these situations, we have proactively implemented various measures to respond swiftly to changes and to ensure steady results even in the face of headwinds. As a result, we secured a certain level of profit in 2023 and managed to sustain our revenue to a slight decline compared to the previous year.

In 2023, to accelerate future business growth, we welcomed Panthronics, a company with expertise in near- field communication or NFC technology, into the group. We also signed a long-term supply agreement with Wolfspeed for silicon carbide ("SiC") wafers, to ensure a stable supply of SiC wafers for power semiconductors. Furthermore, we have launched a wide array of new products and services, including: the "RA8 Series", the industry's first microcontrollers ("MCU"s) equipped with the high- performance Arm® Cortex-M85® core; the "R-Car Generation 5 Product Family", with a roadmap consisting future offerings of R-Carsystem-on-chips or SoCs with advanced in-package chiplet integration technology and next-generation automotive MCUs; and "Quick-Connect Studio", a cloud-based design platform that supports customer product development. These initiatives have resulted in securing a number of design-ins which will be a source of future revenue.

The year 2023 was a period in which our presence in the stock market continued to grow, following on from the previous year. Our stock was selected as a constituent of the "Nikkei 225", the index which makes up the Nikkei Stock Average, and our market capitalization has nearly doubled in the year since the beginning of 2023. In addition, with respect to ESG, we were selected for the first time as a constituent of the "MSCI Japan ESG Select Leaders Index" by the internationally renowned MSCI Inc. Furthermore, INCJ Corporation, which contributed to building the foundation of our growth, sold all of its shares in our company in light of our growth.

In terms of shareholder return, we acquired a total of approximately 50 billion yen of our own shares in April 2023. Considering the strengthened our financial base, we have decided to resume the dividend payments and proposed, at this Shareholders Meeting, a year-end dividend of 28 yen per share. We aim to continue to return profits to shareholders on a continuous and stable basis as far as possible. We intend to do this by taking into account changes in the business environment and the balance with retained earnings for long-term growth investment.

(Translation)

Initiatives for the future

We will continue to make various efforts to realize our "2030 Aspirations" ("Become a Top 3 embedded semiconductor solution supplier," "Achieve revenues of more than $20 billion," and "Bring up the equity value by up to six times the market capitalization compared to January 2022" by 2030).

In January 2024, we implemented organizational changes to further accelerate our growth. The new organizational structure has reorganized an application-oriented organization to a technology-based business structure. This structure strengthens our capability to provide a broader range of solutions tailored to our customers' needs. In addition, to maximize our scale merit, we have established new groups of foundations. These organizations will serve as centralized foundations across all lines of business.

Furthermore, we are pursuing a digitalization strategy that makes it easier for customers to build solutions by providing a cloud-based platforms. To achieve this, we have established a new organization dedicated to software and digitalization. In February 2024, as a significant step in accelerating our digitalization strategy, we agreed to acquire Altium, a leading printed circuit board or PCB design software company.

We also agreed to acquire Transphorm, which has strengths in gallium nitride or GaN technology, in January 2024. This enables us to build on our SiC capability and enhance our portfolio of power semiconductors, which is one of the key pillars of our growth.

To strengthen our corporate governance, we have proposed at this Shareholders Meeting the transition of our company's governance structure to a Company with a Nominating Committee, etc.

To materialize the "2030 Aspirations" and our purpose of "To Make Our Lives Easier," we will continue to provide products and solutions that make people's lives easier. At the same time, as a member of the global community, we will remain steadfast in our commitment to further enhance our corporate value by addressing environmental issues and contributing to a sustainable society. I am confident in our ability to deliver lasting value to our shareholders.

Guide to the Virtual-Only Shareholders' Meeting

The General Meeting will be held in the form of a Virtual-Only Shareholders' Meeting using the Internet communication only.

  • There is no venue (including a viewing room) for shareholders to visit.
  • Attendance at a Virtual-Only Shareholders' Meeting is treated as "attendance" at a general shareholders' meeting under the Companies Act.
  • At the Virtual-Only Shareholders' Meeting, you can ask questions and exercise voting rights in respect of each proposal presented at the General Meeting, while viewing the proceedings of the General Meeting live on the Internet.
  • Access the following URL or QR code to join the General Meeting.https://web.sharely.app/login/renesas22
  • Reasons for Adoption of Virtual-Only Shareholders' Meeting

The Company's Board of Directors has considered the method of holding the General Meeting by considering, among others, the circumstances surrounding the Company, the proposals presented at the General Meeting, as well as shareholders' opinions, and has decided to hold the General Meeting in the form of a Virtual-Only Shareholders' Meeting for the following reasons:

  1. Providing participation opportunities: This method is expected to promote the exercise of shareholders' voting rights and dialogue with shareholders at the General Meeting by minimizing any impact of location and time constraints as far as possible and providing all shareholders with equal opportunities to participate in the General Meeting. Also, as oral questions will be introduced at the General Meeting, shareholders may ask their questions both orally and by text, whichever is convenient for them.
  2. Avoiding physical constraints: This method can provide shareholders with opportunities to participate in the General Meeting without physical constraints, such as venue capacity, even under the Company's recent circumstances where the number of its shareholders exceeds 100,000.
  3. Reducing the burden on shareholders: Attendance by shareholders with fewer physical or time constraints will contribute to revitalization, efficiency and facilitation of the General Meeting, and in turn, to the interests and convenience of our shareholders.
  4. Equality among attendees: By selecting a Virtual-Only Shareholders' Meeting instead of a hybrid one, which tends to create a sense of inequality in terms of participation awareness between shareholders who attend the General Meeting in person and those who attend online, it is possible to operate the General Meeting in a more equal manner.
  5. Promoting dialogue with overseas officers: As the Company has many overseas directors and executive officers, it is appropriate to have overseas directors and executive officers participate in the General Meeting in the same manner as other directors and executive officers, and provide answers to shareholders' questions, from the perspective of promoting dialogue with shareholders.
  6. Shareholder endorsement: A proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation which enables the holding of Virtual-Only Shareholders' Meetings was approved by approximately 87.7% of the votes case in favor at our annual general meeting of shareholders held 2 years ago, and many shareholders continued to give favorable opinions in the questionnaire for shareholders at our general meeting of shareholders last year.
  7. Other circumstances: There are no special circumstances, such as shareholder proposals, that would render it more desirable to hold the General Meeting at a physical venue.
