The Company selects persons who can fulfill, as Directors, the management mandate conferred on them by shareholders, have a wealth of experience and high-level insight related to management, and are capable of fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of Directors as candidates for the Director position.
After a draft of candidates for Director is prepared by the representative director and deliberations are undertaken by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee, candidates for Director are selected by the Board of Directors.
Where there has been an irregularity or a violation of a law or regulation or a breach of the Articles of Incorporation in the execution of duties by a Director, or where circumstances under which it can be deemed that the proper performance by a Director of his or her duties would be difficult have otherwise arisen, the Director shall be dismissed.
It is also stipulated that a determination as to the election or dismissal of an Executive Officer shall be made through the adoption of a resolution by the Board of Directors.
