Status of Corporate Governance

Basic Concept of Corporate Governance

The PARK24 GROUP (hereinafter called “the GROUP”) strives to make sustainable improvements in its corporate value under the GROUP’s philosophy of creating new forms of comfort and convenience by responding to the needs of today and anticipating the needs of tomorrow.
Essential factors for the sustainable enhancement of corporate value include the establishment of trusting relationships with all stakeholders, not to mention the expansion of businesses. From this perspective, the GROUP seeks to strengthen and enhance the level of corporate governance by continuing to improve the fairness, reasonableness and transparency of management.

Overview of the Corporate Governance System and Reasons for its Adoption

  1. (as of November 1, 2023)

The GROUP has an Audit and Supervisory Committee governance structure and seeks to continually increase its corporate value by ensuring management transparency and fairness, and strengthening the supervisory functions. The GROUP also adopts the Corporate Officer system, separating the supervisory functions (Directors) and the business execution functions (Corporate Officers), with the intention of accelerating decision-making.
The GROUP has established a Nomination, Compensation & Governance Committee as an optional advisory body to ensure fairness, transparency and objectivity in the procedures for the nomination and compensation of the Directors and enhance corporate governance.In addition, the "Sustainability Committee" has been established to carry out stronger group-wide sustainability initiatives to resolve environmental and social issues.

1. Board of Directors

The GROUP believes that the important roles and responsibilities of the Board of Directors are to determine the direction of strategies and the allocation of management resources and audit and supervise business execution by the Corporate Officers. The Board of Directors discusses and formulates the GROUP’s annual plan, medium-term management plan, management strategies and management plans and strives to strengthen the monitoring of business execution. Through this, the GROUP aims to continuously enhance corporate value in the medium and long terms to benefit all stakeholders.

To enable sufficient discussions and to accelerate decision-making, the Articles of Incorporation stipulate that the GROUP shall have no more than ten (10) Directors, excluding Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members, and no more than five (5) Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members.
The GROUP appoints individuals who understand and can implement the GROUP philosophy, have a good personality and extensive knowledge and can fulfill their responsibilities as Directors.

The Nomination, Compensation & Governance Committee, a committee consisting of the Representative Director and Outside Directors and chaired by an Outside Director that has been established to increase fairness, transparency and objectivity in the decision-making process at the Board of Directors and enhance the corporate governance system, discusses the appointment of Directors proposed by the Board of Directors and submits recommendations. The Board of Directors, the members of which include Outside Directors, decides on an agenda item about the appointment of Directors based on the recommendations of the committee. The reasons for the proposed appointment of Directors are included in the notice of a shareholders’ meeting and are posted on the website.

2. Audit and Supervisory Committee

The Audit and Supervisory Committee audits compliance with laws and regulations, the Articles of Incorporation and internal rules and regulations by the Directors, Corporate Officers, or employees at the Company and GROUP companies.
The Audit and Supervisory Committee consists of three (3) Directors who are members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee, the majority of whom are Outside Directors. Each Audit Committee member has abundant knowledge and experience in accounting and finance, extensive insight and experience mainly in the field of corporate legal affairs, including overseas, and specialized knowledge and extensive experience in accounting audits, and actively and positively expresses appropriate opinions to the Board of Directors and management from an independent and objective standpoint. In addition, the GROUP has appointed a full-time Audit and Supervisory Committee member to enhance the effectiveness of the Board by combining the objective and highly knowledgeable views of the Outside Directors with the information-gathering capabilities of the full-time Director who serves as an Audit and Supervisory Committee Member.

3. Nomination, Compensation & Governance Committee

The Nomination and Compensation Committee was established in June 2019 to ensure appropriate opportunities for outside directors to be involved in and provide advice on decisions related to director nominations and compensation, to improve the fairness, transparency, and objectivity of the decision-making process at the Board of Directors, and to further enhance the corporate governance system. In November 2023, the Committee was renamed the "Nomination, Compensation & Governance Committee" in addition to expanding its functions.

The Nomination, Compensation & Governance Committee is responsible for (1) matters relating to the election and dismissal of directors, (2) matters relating to policies for determining directors' compensation and other compensation, (3) matters relating to succession planning, (4) matters relating to ensuring the effectiveness of the Board of Directors, (5) matters relating to fiduciary responsibility and accountability to shareholders, and (6) other matters based on consultations from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall deliberate on and report to the Board of Directors on matters concerning corporate governance for which the Board of Directors is consulted.

The members of the Nominating, Compensation & Governance Committee shall consist of representative directors and outside directors, and the chairperson of the committee shall be selected from the outside directors.

4. Executive Committee

The GROUP believes that thorough discussions and agile decision-making by people who are conversant with the Company’s business are necessary to achieve the GROUP philosophy. Based on that belief, the GROUP has established the Executive Committee consisting of the President and Corporate Officers.
The Executive Committee is chaired by the President. At the request of the President, the committee discusses important matters about management, prepares plans, conducts research and makes decisions, and determines the results of those activities. The committee then reports to the President. The process of holding thorough discussions and deliberations as well as decision-making in the Executive Committee is important for the training of successors to top management.

5. Accounting Auditor

The Accounting Auditor takes responsibility for shareholders and investors for proper audits and cooperates with the Audit and Supervisory Committee, the Accounting Department and other relevant departments to take appropriate actions to ensure that audits are conducted properly, including ensuring appropriate audit schedules and systems.
The Accounting Auditor, the Audit and Supervisory Committee and the Internal Audit Department hold meetings regularly to ensure sufficient cooperation.

6. Internal Auditing Department/Corporate Compliance Department

Internal audits of the Company and the Group are conducted by the Internal Auditing Department and the Compliance Department in cooperation with the accounting auditor.

7. Risk Management Committee

As a company-wide risk management system, the Risk Management Committee consists of the Representative Director and other officers and employees, with the Representative Director serving as the chief risk management officer. The Risk Management Committee prepares a risk map listing risks that may affect the Group's management, including risks related to sustainability, including climate change-related issues, and monitors important risks, periodically adding or changing specific risks, evaluating them, and reviewing their prioritization. The results are reported to the Board of Directors once every three months to address and prevent such risks. When risks materialize, the Company plays an important role in ensuring the stable continuation of business and increasing corporate value by minimizing the impact of such risks.

8. Sustainability Committee

The Sustainability Committee promotes cross-group initiatives by formulating sustainability policies and strategies and setting target indicators. The Sustainability Committee is chaired by a director or corporate officer, and its consists of executives and employees of the GROUP companies.

9. ICT Committee

The ICT Committee will make flexible investment decisions in line with business strategies in order to strengthen Group IT governance for the strong promotion of the Group's medium- to long-term business strategy, "expand and seamlessly connect the four networks" . The ICT Committee is chaired by a director, and its members consist of executives and employees of the GROUP companies.

Reasons for the Adoption of the System

The Company believes that to achieve the GROUP philosophy, it is important to create a system that allows for prompt decision-making and a strong governance system to maintain a corporate culture of continuing to take on challenges and to meet the expectations of shareholders and other stakeholders.
Accordingly, the Company has established the Executive Committee, as described above, and has developed a system that allows for prompt and reasonable decision-making and business execution. The Company actively appoints Outside Directors to increase transparency and objectivity in decision-making by incorporating opinions from an independent perspective based on the views of shareholders and other stakeholders in discussions at Board of Directors meetings. In addition, the Company has adopted a system with an Audit and Supervisory Committee to strengthen auditing and supervisory functions through the Audit and Supervisory Committee members with voting rights in the Board of Directors.

Appointment criteria for Directors

Directors

To ensure flexible and reasonable management decision-making, we believe that the most effective approach for the appointment of Board members is to select candidates with the best knowledge of our business operations. Based on this approach, and before reaching a final decision on selection, we determine if the candidate understands the Group’s philosophy, is capable of fulfilling their responsibilities, and combines excellent personal qualities with strong professional insight.

Outside Directors

One of the roles considered most important for the position of outside directors is to provide advice and supervision to support effective, executive decision-making from the viewpoint of medium- to long-term growth of our corporate value. For this reason, we appoint outside directors who are considered, based on an overall assessment, to be capable of providing sound advice and opinions on corporate management from a broad perspective using wide-ranging corporate management experience, expert knowledge, or other attributes, and who also have no potential conflict of interest with general shareholders. To perform their advisory and supervisory roles effectively, we believe that it is important for outside directors to be independent of the executive organization. We have therefore established independence standards and ensure that these standards are met by the outside directors.

Criteria for Independence of Outside Directors

The Company has appointed one Outside Director (excluding Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members) to strengthen the supervisory functions of the Board of Directors and to ensure highly transparent management. The Company has also appointed two Outside Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members, to strengthen the corporate governance system and to enhance the audit system. The Company’s basic policy when appointing Independent Directors is to adhere to the standards for independence set forth by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It has also established its own standards as more specific standards for judging materiality, and elects candidates only if it judges that there is no possibility of a conflict of interest arising between the candidate and general shareholders.
The two Outside Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members are registered as independent directors with the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Compensation for Officers

Design of compensation system (excluding directors and outside directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee members)

  1. Basic compensation system
    The basic compensation system is determined using a table that takes into account the director’s duties, roles, and responsibilities, the level of business profit, and other criteria.
  2. Short-term incentive(STI)
    The short-term incentive is calculated by taking the basic amount set for that position and multiplying it by a factor corresponding to the degree of achievement of the target evaluation indicator: consolidated recurring profit. The reason for selecting this indicator is that the growth rate of recurring profit as a key marker of corporate management performance is reflected in increased corporate value.
  3. Long-term incentive(LTI)
    For long-term incentive*, we introduced a system of restricted stock compensation. For the period of the stock restriction that applies to directors and employees in the Company and subsidiaries, the restriction remains in force until immediately after retirement, determined in advance by our Board of Directors. The restricted stock allocation is made within the limits of the share amount and monetary value resolved at the General Meeting of Shareholders and is calculated based on consolidated recurring profit, ROIC, and ESG as evaluation indicators, while taking into account the business environment and other factors. Our four ESG indicators are formulated from environmental, social, and governance perspectives. For the environment, we use two indicators to evaluate to what extent our medium- to long-term sustainability targets have been achieved: “Increasing the ratio of HVs and EVs in newly introduced vehicles compared to the previous year” and “3% reduction in CO2 emissions per km traveled by vehicles compared to the previous year.” For society, we make evaluations based on the employee engagement index. For governance, we use the average of ESG-related evaluation indices from external evaluation organizations.

*No long-term incentive was paid prior to the fiscal year ended October 2022. Payment is subject to approval at the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Main requirements of the policy for determining individual compensation and other benefits

Main requirements are formulated based on the following basic policies 1-5.

  1. Must contribute to continual improvement in business performance.
  2. Must incentivize others to increase corporate value.
  3. Must contribute to securing high-quality managers (human assets).
  4. Must share interests with shareholders.
  5. Must have high levels of transparency and objectivity as well as strong linking with company performance.

Method for determining the policy on individual compensation and other benefits

Based on consultation with the Board of Directors, the Nomination and Compensation Committee submits reports to the Board of Directors, who then sets the policy determining the details of individual compensation for directors.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of the Board of Directors

We evaluate the effectiveness of the Board of Directors through a combination of questionnaire surveys of all directors and an interview with all directors conducted by a third-party organization. The results are collated and analyzed before being reported to the Board of Directors, which checks progress on responses to issues identified in the previous fiscal year and formulates new policies to address any issues identified in the current fiscal year. The purpose of these effectiveness evaluations of the Board of Directors is to continuously strengthen our corporate governance through the formulation and implementation of specific measures.

Support System for Outside Directors

A support system is in place to ensure that outside directors can fully fulfill their roles and responsibilities. At Board of Directors meetings, materials for agenda items are sent out at least two business days prior to the meeting, and advance explanations are provided at least one business day prior to the meeting. This enables us to provide a wide range of internal information, including a summary of the issues for each agenda item, to make effective use of the Board of Directors' deliberation time and to engage in constructive discussions. In addition to providing opportunities for outside directors to gain an in-depth understanding of our business, we regularly hold "Director Training" sessions to give directors, including outside directors, the chance to fully understand the latest information on sustainability, corporate governance, and internal controls.
