TOKYO, Feb 25 (Pulse News Wire) -- Management Solutions Co., Ltd. (7033.T), led by Chairman and President Naoya Takahashi, announced today that it has decided to transition from an audit committee company to a supervisory board company, subject to approval at its upcoming annual general meeting on March 27. The move aims to enhance corporate governance through stronger oversight mechanisms and more efficient decision-making processes.
The company's resolution was made during a board meeting held earlier today. This shift is intended to bolster the monitoring functions of the board by empowering auditors within the board structure to have voting rights. Additionally, this change will allow the board to delegate business decisions more broadly among directors, thereby speeding up management decisions and potentially enhancing corporate value.
In conjunction with this transition, the company also outlined proposed changes to its board composition for the same annual general meeting. Among these proposals, current executives such as Naoya Takahashi, Kunimasa Tamai, Kiyonari Akahane, and Tetsuji Tanaka are expected to retain their positions under new titles. Notably, Akahane and Tanaka are candidates for external director roles as defined under Article 2, Paragraph 15 of Japan’s Companies Act.
Furthermore, the company plans to appoint three external directors—Tetsuo Watanabe, Minoru Kimura, and Ryuichi Inagaki—as members of the newly formed supervisory board. These individuals currently serve as external auditors but will assume new roles as external directors with supervisory responsibilities. All three are also candidates for external director roles according to the aforementioned legal provision.
Lastly, the company detailed the planned departures of certain board members effective upon the conclusion of the annual general meeting. Director Kei Kaneko is set to retire, while Watanabe, Kimura, and Inagaki will transition from their current auditor roles to new supervisory board member positions. The company expects these changes to take effect after obtaining necessary shareholder approvals at the scheduled meeting.
