In order to further motivate corporate executives to achieve medium- and long-term performance targets and enhance the enterprise value of the Company, the Remuneration Committee conducted a review of their remuneration structure and decided to increase the performance-linked component by expanding stock-based compensation. The revised remuneration policy is as follows.
Revisions to the Officers’ Remuneration Policy (where underlined)
■Remuneration structure
The remuneration structure for our corporate executives (including corporate executives who concurrently serve as directors, similarly hereinafter) comprises basic remuneration, which is a fixed remuneration paid monthly based on their roles and responsibilities; bonuses as short-term incentives; and stock-based compensation as a medium- to long-term incentive. In order to ensure a remuneration structure that motivates officers to achieve our medium- and long-term performance targets and enhance enterprise value, the incentive component of their remuneration has been increased, and the combined remuneration for corporate executives is expected to break down as follows: basic remuneration 50%, bonus (base amount) 30%, stock-based compensation (base amount) 20%. The remuneration for directors (not including directors who concurrently serve as corporate executives, similarly hereinafter) comprises basic remuneration and stock-based compensation.
