Basic View
Based on our Credo, ベットネット スポーツ Analects and ベットネット スポーツ Abacus, we strive to fulfill social responsibilities through our business activities, thereby earning a greater degree of trust from our shareholders and investors, and all other stakeholders, including clients, employees, and local communities. We also aim to manage ベットネット スポーツ company in an expeditious, efficient, transparent, and lawful manner to achieve sustainable growth and increase corporate value over ベットネット スポーツ medium to long term.
To achieve this, we have established a structure that enables ベットネット スポーツ Board of Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members to appropriately supervise and audit ベットネット スポーツ performance of duties, based on separation of ベットネット スポーツ management strategy decision-making function from ベットネット スポーツ execution of duties function. Concurrently, our basic policy on corporate governance is for our directors, executive officers, audit & supervisory board members, and employees to practice compliance management based on high ethical standards.
Structure
Corporate Governance Structure of スポーツベット
Overview of ベットネット スポーツ Corporate Governance Structure
We have adopted ベットネット スポーツ structure of a company with an Audit & Supervisory Board. We have chosen this system based on ベットネット スポーツ belief that we have established a system to supervise and oversee management from an objective and neutral perspective. This was achieved by limiting ベットネット スポーツ number of directors and introducing an executive officer system to clearly separate ベットネット スポーツ management strategy decision-making and oversight functions from ベットネット スポーツ business execution function, by taking steps to encourage energetic debate at ベットネット スポーツ Board of Directors, and by electing outside directors, other non-executive directors, and outside Audit & Supervisory Board members who maintain a high degree of independence. ベットネット スポーツ concrete structure and implementation status are detailed below.
- One-third or more of ベットネット スポーツ Board of Directors elected are outside directors to strengthen management supervision function, and to promote more energetic debate by ベットネット スポーツ Board of Directors.
- Outside directors and other non-executive directors and outside Audit & Supervisory Board members use their extensive experience and sophisticated insight based on their individual career histories to oversee and supervise management and provide necessary advice as appropriate.
- We established a structure mainly consisting of ベットネット スポーツ head office administrative departments to provide timely information and other materials to assist outside directors and other non-executive directors in performing their management supervisory duties (including tours of offices, job sites, etc.).
- ベットネット スポーツ relevant divisions provide guidance on ベットネット スポーツ Company in general, description of its businesses, and other relevant information to new outside directors and outside Audit & Supervisory Board members.
- Audit & Supervisory Board members audit all duties performed by directors from a fair and impartial perspective.
- ベットネット スポーツ Audit & Supervisory Board Members Office was established as ベットネット スポーツ dedicated organization to support Audit & Supervisory Board members. This office secures ベットネット スポーツ necessary support staff to enable more effective audits by Audit & Supervisory Board members.
- Audit & Supervisory Board members improve ベットネット スポーツ effectiveness of management supervision by attending important meetings and obtaining sufficient information from officers and employees without delay.
- When a Board of Directors meeting is held, ベットネット スポーツ Board of Directors administrative office and other divisions provide explanations in advance to ベットネット スポーツ outside directors, non-executive directors, and Audit & Supervisory Board members.
- Outside directors and other non-executive directors regularly exchange opinions with ベットネット スポーツ chairman and president. They also exchange opinions with outside Audit & Supervisory Board members.
- Regular Outside Officers Meetings are held for outside directors and outside Audit & Supervisory Board members, and regular Outside Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members Meetings are held for outside directors and all Audit & Supervisory Board members to facilitate ベットネット スポーツ exchange of opinions.

Non-Executive Directors including Outside Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members are paid only fixed-amount monthly salary for ベットネット スポーツ purpose of enhancing their supervisory function of management.
We, at a Board of Directors’ Meeting held on February 24, 2021, resolved regulations for executives' remuneration that set forth ベットネット スポーツ policy for determining ベットネット スポーツ remuneration of each Director. Its outline is provided below.
Policy on Base Salary

(Method of calculating individual performance-based compensation ［bonuses］) Consolidated performance*1 x Performance coefficient*2 x Positional index*3 x Individual evaluation coefficient*4 = Individual bonus*5
- *1. Consolidated net income for ベットネット スポーツ current fiscal year (Net income attributable to shareholders of ベットネット スポーツ Company)

Other items are selected from non-financial KPIs from ベットネット スポーツ Mid-Term Business Plan and added by ベットネット スポーツ Nomination and Compensation Committee based on priority in terms of enhancing mid-to-long term corporate value and objectivity of evaluation. ベットネット スポーツ Nomination and Compensation Committee then considers whether or not there is any material violation of laws and decides ベットネット スポーツ earnings coefficient based on ベットネット スポーツ evaluation value derived by weighted average of each item.
- *3. An index determined for each Director’s position
- *4. ベットネット スポーツ Nomination and Compensation Committee determines individual evaluation indices based on ベットネット スポーツ results of evaluations of ベットネット スポーツ level of achievement of targets set for each director based on interviews with Executive Directors at ベットネット スポーツ beginning and end of ベットネット スポーツ fiscal year.

Notably, only ベットネット スポーツ non-executive directors of ベットネット スポーツ Nomination and Compensation Committee Members make decisions regarding executive director evaluations.
- *5.

FY2024
Securities Holdings
Policy on Securities Holdings
When there is a necessity from ベットネット スポーツ viewpoint of business development, we acquire and retain shares of clients and business partners to strengthen and maintain relationships. Acquisition of major securities is determined by ベットネット スポーツ Board of Directors, taking comprehensive consideration of benefits to ベットネット スポーツ Company, acquisition cost, risk of share price changes and other factors. ベットネット スポーツ Board of Directors examines ベットネット スポーツ necessity of securities holdings for individual stocks each year, taking into consideration its economic rationality, including cost and risk of holding them, and business development benefits. Based on such examination, shares that have become dilutive in terms of significance to our operations, are disposed while confirming relationships with business partners.
Status of Reduction of Securities Holdings
To effectively use our capital, we established a following goal: “to reduce ベットネット スポーツ ratio of ベットネット スポーツ outstanding amount of securities holdings to consolidated net assets to less than 20% by ベットネット スポーツ end of March 2027”, and announced it to ベットネット スポーツ public on April 26, 2023. Since then, we have been seeking to reduce ベットネット スポーツ volume of securities holdings. At ベットネット スポーツ Board of Directors Meeting held on November 12, 2024, we have decided to move up ベットネット スポーツ target date of ベットネット スポーツ existing reduction goal by one year to ベットネット スポーツ end of March 2026, so that we can accelerate ベットネット スポーツ implementation of “management that is conscious of cost of capital and stock price”. We have also established a new goal of reducing ベットネット スポーツ ratio of ベットネット スポーツ outstanding amount of securities holdings to consolidated net assets to less than 10% by ベットネット スポーツ end of March 2027”.We sold shares of 31 listed companies during fiscal 2024 (including shares of which part of ベットネット スポーツ holdings were sold). ベットネット スポーツ proceeds were ¥58.6 billion. From fiscal 2018 to fiscal 2024, ベットネット スポーツ total number of listed companies of which we sold its holdings was 91 (including shares of which part of ベットネット スポーツ holdings were sold). ベットネット スポーツ proceeds were ¥208.6 billion. As a result, ベットネット スポーツ number of listed companies we held shares in decreased from 187 as of ベットネット スポーツ end of March 2018 to 123 as of ベットネット スポーツ end of March 2025. As of ベットネット スポーツ end of March 2025, ベットネット スポーツ proportion of securities holdings in consolidated net assets is 27.0%.
Criteria for exercising voting rights pertaining to securities holdings
We exercise voting rights on securities holdings after comprehensively examining ベットネット スポーツ contents of proposals, referring to ベットネット スポーツ Policy on securities holdings above, and judging whether to vote for or against each proposal from ベットネット スポーツ perspective of whether ベットネット スポーツ corporate value of ベットネット スポーツ Company and business partners may increase.
Policy in case ベットネット スポーツ cross-shareholder has expressed their intention to sell ベットネット スポーツ shares
In case ベットネット スポーツ cross-shareholder has expressed their intention to sell ベットネット スポーツ Company’s shares, we will not act to prevent ベットネット スポーツ sale by, for example, suggesting that we will reduce transactions with ベットネット スポーツ company concerned.
