Toshiba, which continues to be in turmoil, has announced a personnel case to accept two people from the ongoing conflict of "shareholders who say things" as candidates for new directors to be appointed at the shareholders' meeting next month.
On the 26th, Toshiba announced the appointment of 13 directors to be proposed to the shareholders' meeting to be held on the 28th of next month.
Of the seven new candidates, two are executives at Farallon Capital Management and Elliott Investment Management, shareholders who continue to be in conflict with the company.
Toshiba explains the reason for the appointment: "By having representatives from shareholders participate in the board of directors, shareholders and management can be more aligned."
He also announced that he is considering Akihiro Watanabe, a certified accountant who chairs a company that advises on mergers and acquisitions of companies, as a candidate for chairman of the board of directors.
Meanwhile, former president Satoshi Tsunakawa has retired from the board of directors, and president Taro Shimada and vice president Goro Yanase are new candidates for board membership.
"For the time being, the most important thing at the board of directors was the discussion of strategic options, including delisting, which was taken into consideration," said Raymond Zeiji, chairman of the nominating committee, who was appointed. He emphasized that it is the best person to consider the content of the strategy to increase the corporate value that is being recruited from outside.
