TOKYO, Apr 30 (Pulse News Wire) – LIXIL Corporation (5938.T) announced changes to its board candidates for the upcoming June shareholders meeting. On March 23, 2026, the company had initially disclosed potential board members but revised its decision based on recent deliberations.
Specifically, the nomination committee decided to cancel the appointment of Ayane Tanaka as a new candidate due to scheduling conflicts that would hinder her ability to fulfill her duties effectively.

Notably, Yoshihiro Kanazawa was named deputy president and COO, while Mariko Watanuki continues as chair of the Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee. Other key positions remain unchanged, with Seiji Nishiu maintaining his role as chairman of the Board of Directors and Governance Committee.
