Toshiba has revealed the results of a survey compiled by the company's audit committee in February, apart from the report released earlier regarding the operation of the shareholders' meeting last year.
In this, it is said that "we have not put pressure on some shareholders and the involvement of the company is not recognized", and it is clear that some were not disclosed before the general meeting of shareholders to be held this week. By doing so, it seems that there is an aim to show the attitude of disclosing information.
In the report on Toshiba's general meeting of shareholders last year, some shareholders were appointed as shareholders because the company and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry collaborate to prevent the proposal of the so-called "shareholders who say things" as the largest shareholder. He pointed out that it had an unreasonable impact on the company and concluded that "the general meeting was not operated fairly."
Prior to this, in February, the company's audit committee compiled the results of the investigation and announced the contents on the 21st.
This includes a report by a lawyer requested by the company. "There is nothing that suggests that the then participation of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry was putting pressure on some shareholders, and the involvement of the company was recognized. There is no such thing.
The results of this survey were only outlined at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in March, but a report by an outside lawyer appointed by the shareholders described the exchanges with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and was not disclosed. Since there is no reason, he decided to announce it.
The company is expected to show its willingness to disclose information ahead of the shareholders' meeting to be held on the 25th of this week.
