Osamu Nagayama, Chairman of the Board of Directors, once again apologized for the issues surrounding the operation of Toshiba's general meeting of shareholders in a comment to shareholders, and stated that he would accelerate the selection of a new CEO = Chief Executive Officer.
In a report on Toshiba's shareholders' meeting last year, an outside lawyer appointed as a shareholder interfered with the proposal of so-called "shareholders who say things", so the company and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry collaborated to exert some unjustified effects. He pointed out that he gave it to shareholders and concluded that "the general meeting was not run fairly."
Toshiba is planning a general meeting of shareholders on the 25th of this month, and the focus is on whether the personnel cases of 11 directors, including Chairman Nagayama, will be approved.
Before the general meeting, Chairman Nagayama announced comments to shareholders on the 18th, apologized for a series of problems, and accelerated the selection of a new CEO = CEO who can lead the reforms to be made. It is said.
On the other hand, he will continue to chair as stated in the personnel case, saying, "The first role as chair is to provide leadership and I promise to remain a positive changer." I showed my intention.
