Corporate Governance

Basic View

Based on our Credo, スポーツベット テニス Analects and スポーツベット テニス 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 スポーツベット テニス company in an expeditious, efficient, transparent, and lawful manner to achieve sustainable growth and increase corporate value over スポーツベット テニス medium to long term.

To achieve this, we have established a structure that enables スポーツベット テニス Board of Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members to appropriately supervise and audit スポーツベット テニス performance of duties, based on separation of スポーツベット テニス management strategy decision-making function from スポーツベット テニス 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.

Overview of スポーツベット テニス Corporate Governance Structure

We have adopted スポーツベット テニス structure of a company with an Audit & Supervisory Board. We have chosen this system based on スポーツベット テニス belief that we have established a system to supervise and oversee management from an objective and neutral perspective. This was achieved by limiting スポーツベット テニス number of directors and introducing an executive officer system to clearly separate スポーツベット テニス management strategy decision-making and oversight functions from スポーツベット テニス business execution function, by taking steps to encourage energetic debate at スポーツベット テニス 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. スポーツベット テニス concrete structure and implementation status are detailed below.

  • One-third or more of スポーツベット テニス Board of Directors elected are outside directors to strengthen management supervision function, and to promote more energetic debate by スポーツベット テニス 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 スポーツベット テニス 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.).
  • スポーツベット テニス relevant divisions provide guidance on スポーツベット テニス 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.
  • スポーツベット テニス Audit & Supervisory Board Members Office was established as スポーツベット テニス dedicated organization to support Audit & Supervisory Board members. This office secures スポーツベット テニス necessary support staff to enable more effective audits by Audit & Supervisory Board members.
  • Audit & Supervisory Board members improve スポーツベット テニス 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, スポーツベット テニス Board of Directors administrative office and other divisions provide explanations in advance to スポーツベット テニス outside directors, non-executive directors, and Audit & Supervisory Board members.
  • Outside directors and other non-executive directors regularly exchange opinions with スポーツベット テニス 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 スポーツベット テニス exchange of opinions.

Policy on Securities Holdings

When there is a necessity from スポーツベット テニス 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 スポーツベット テニス Board of Directors, taking comprehensive consideration of benefits to スポーツベット テニス Company, acquisition cost, risk of share price changes and other factors. スポーツベット テニス Board of Directors examines スポーツベット テニス 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.

We have also established a new goal of reducing スポーツベット テニス ratio of スポーツベット テニス outstanding amount of securities holdings to consolidated net assets to less than 10% by スポーツベット テニス end of March 2027”.
