Toshiba held an extraordinary board meeting on the 13th, and released its opinion on the report that the operation of the shareholders' meeting in July last year was not fair.
According to this, we will take the report seriously, and with the participation of an outside third party, promptly, objectively, transparently and thoroughly investigate the truth and clarify the responsibility.
In addition, Mr. Junji Ota, who is an outside director and chairman of the Audit Committee, and Mr. Taku Yamauchi, who is also a member of the Audit Committee, have decided to retire.
Regarding Toshiba, an outside lawyer appointed by the shareholders was appointed on the 10th of this month over the fact that the personnel case proposed by the investment fund of the largest shareholder known as the so-called "shareholder who says things" was rejected at the general meeting of shareholders last July. He concluded that "the General Assembly was not run fairly," and pointed out that the Audit Committee was not functioning well.
Mr. Ota and Mr. Yamauchi were proposed as candidates for directors for the general meeting of shareholders on the 25th of this month, but at the extraordinary board meeting on the 13th, it was decided to remove them from the candidates and retire because they could not gain the confidence of shareholders. It was.
