Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the ex-dividend date and payment schedule for the approved 90 yen per share dividend.
- Confirm the effective date of the Articles of Incorporation amendment regarding venue-less meetings.
- Review the full list of newly elected directors and their biographies for potential conflicts of interest.
- Check subsequent filings for the actual amount of bonuses paid to directors, as the filing only sets a 500 million yen cap.
