We will inform you that we have resolved the inauguration of Ken Kutaragi as an Outside Director at the shareholders' meeting that was held on January 29 (Monday).

Since becoming a strategic Advisors in July last year, Kutaragi has contributed to a wide range of corporate activities, from advice on our business and services to in-house training.
