At a shareholders' meeting held last week, Toshiba revealed that 56% of the votes were against Mr. Osamu Nagayama, chairman of the board of directors, who was denied reappointment.
The number of votes against the other board member who was rejected exceeded 70%, indicating that shareholders' opposition to corporate governance was great.
Toshiba was held last week after being pointed out by outside lawyers that last year's general meeting of shareholders was "not fair" over dealing with so-called "shareholders who say things" such as overseas investors. At the general meeting of shareholders, the reappointment of two members, Osamu Nagayama, chairman of the board of directors, and Nobuyuki Kobayashi, an outside director, was rejected by a majority of the opposition.
Toshiba announced the details of the vote on the 28th, with 56.06% of the votes against Mr. Nagayama, and 74.36% against Mr. Kobayashi, who was a member of the audit committee who said that the operation of the general meeting last year was okay. It was revealed that it had climbed to.
According to the company, about 50% of voting rights are occupied by overseas investors, but from this result, it seems that other shareholders also voted against it, and it can be seen that there was a great deal of opposition to corporate governance. ..
On the other hand, the negative vote for President Satoshi Tsunakawa was 12.74%.
Regarding this result, Toshiba commented, "We take it seriously. We will radically improve governance in the future and make every effort to improve our corporate value."
