TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Moriya Corporation (1798.T) resolved today during its board meeting to propose the appointment of a new external director candidate, Yoshiomi Yoshizawa, for its 72nd regular shareholders' meeting scheduled on June 19, 2026. Additionally, the company announced that two directors, Yoshihiro Yoshizawa and Takuzo Ito, will retire upon the conclusion of the same shareholders' meeting due to term expiration.
Regarding the proposed new external director, Yoshiomi Yoshizawa, she was admitted to the bar in December 2014 and joined Shikunai Law Office in December 2014. She co-founded Shiodomae Law Firm in June 2018 and currently serves as its joint representative. Since May 2022, she has held positions such as councilor of Naganohara Consumer Support Network, member of Nagano Prefecture Construction Work Dispute Review Board, and councilor of Co-op Naganohara since April 2024 and June 2024, respectively. Her official family name is Imayoshi but she uses Yoshizawa professionally. Ms. Yoshizawa’s affiliation with Shiodomae Law Firm does not pose a conflict of interest with general shareholders due to the limited transaction volume, which constitutes less than 0.1% of the firm's revenue. Therefore, she will be nominated as an independent director without potential conflicts of interest and will be reported to the Tokyo Stock Exchange accordingly. The reasons for her nomination stem from her extensive legal expertise and experience accumulated over the years.
Ms. Yoshizawa will offer guidance based on her perspective as a legal expert to enhance transparency, objectivity, and corporate governance within the company. She is expected to take office on June 19, 2026. In addition, two retiring directors were also announced. Yoshihiro Yoshizawa, who currently holds the position of Chairman, and Takuzo Ito, who serves as Senior Advisor, will step down from their respective roles. Following their retirement, Mr. Yoshizawa will transition to an advisory role while Mr. Ito will continue his service as a senior advisor.
