TOKYO, May 12 (Pulse News Wire) – Rinnai Corporation (5947.T) rejected a shareholder proposal submitted by Dalton Kizuna (Master) Fund LP ahead of its upcoming annual general meeting scheduled for June 26, 2026. The proposal sought changes to the restricted stock compensation program and alterations to the record date for the annual shareholders' meeting.
Rinnai's board opposed the proposals due to concerns over their alignment with the company’s performance metrics and governance standards. Specifically, the board argued that the proposed changes would not reflect the company’s current operational realities and could lead to inconsistencies in dividend distribution and shareholder communication.
Additionally, Rinnai highlighted that its executives hold significant shares—approximately 7.36 million shares and 1.53 million shares respectively, held by the chairman and president as of March 31, 2026—contradicting claims made by the proposing shareholder regarding insufficient shareholding among directors. The company also emphasized its existing robust governance framework, which includes independent oversight committees and transparent reporting mechanisms designed to ensure fair and objective remuneration policies.
