TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – NEC Corporation (6701.T) announced today that its board of directors has resolved to propose amendments to its articles of incorporation at its upcoming 188th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June 19, 2026. The proposed changes would allow the company to hold virtual-only shareholder meetings without specifying a physical location.
This decision was made in light of recent legal reforms enabling listed companies to conduct such meetings. NEC believes this flexibility will enhance accessibility for shareholders amid concerns over infectious diseases, natural disasters, and ongoing digital transformation trends. Under the amendment, Article 12, Paragraph 3, will be added to the existing articles to permit virtual-only general meetings.
The company emphasized that the choice of meeting format will always consider shareholders' rights and interests, taking into account prevailing social conditions and circumstances surrounding the company and its stakeholders. NEC has received confirmation from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Justice that the proposed changes meet regulatory requirements. The effective date of the amended articles is also set for June 19, 2026.
