TOKYO, Feb 18 (Pulse News Wire) -- KLab Inc. (3656.T), led by President and CEO Tetsuya Manaka, announced today that its board of directors has decided to propose several amendments to the company's articles of incorporation and the appointment of new candidates for director positions at its upcoming 26th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for March 27, 2026.
The proposed changes include expanding the scope of business activities outlined in Article 2 of the current articles of incorporation. Specifically, the amendment will add new items such as the operation of data center facilities using advanced technologies including cloud computing and blockchain, research and development of artificial intelligence technology including generative AI, investment operations, trading of digital assets and real estate, and various other lawful businesses. The revised article will also incorporate provisions related to consulting services and educational programs associated with these newly added business areas.
Additionally, the company plans to increase the total number of shares it can issue from 93,618,000 to 314,416,800 shares to prepare for future expansion of its business scale. This change aims to enable more flexible capital policies moving forward. Furthermore, KLab intends to amend Article 12 of its articles of incorporation to allow for virtual-only shareholders' meetings without specifying a physical location, subject to approval by both the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Minister of Justice under certain conditions.
Regarding the appointments, KLab is proposing the reappointment of four existing directors—Manaka, Yo-Suke Gofuji, Kazuyuki Takada, and Ryoju Nakane—and the addition of three new external directors: Ryosuke Harada, Sheikh Salem Farid Mohammed Al-Kasimi, and Shintaro Yamada. Additionally, the company seeks to appoint four new external directors for the audit committee roles, replacing outgoing members Hiroshi Matsumoto and Tomoshi Yoshikawa, while retaining one incumbent director, Masaharu Inoue.
Harada brings extensive experience in fintech and cryptocurrency-related businesses, which could contribute significantly to KLab’s strategic initiatives involving digital assets. Sheikh Salem Farid Mohammed Al-Kasimi, a member of the UAE royal family, is expected to play an important role in KLab’s Middle East strategy due to his connections within the region. Lastly, Yamada, who has founded multiple companies focused on social media marketing, is anticipated to provide valuable advice on marketing strategies for KLab’s gaming and new ventures.
