SEIKITOKYU KOGYO CO.,LTD. [1898.T]
TOKYO, Feb 25 (Pulse News Wire) -- Seikitokyu Kogyo Co., Ltd. (1898.T), represented by President and CEO Hei Kiichi, announced today that its board of directors has resolved on changes to its executive positions effective April 1, 2026, as well as pre-nominated candidates for the regular shareholders' meeting scheduled for late June this year. The company also disclosed plans regarding the transition of its audit committee members.
The most significant change involves the promotion of Kawano Takayuki to Executive Director from his current position as Deputy Head of Corporate Headquarters and concurrently serving as Deputy Head of Management Headquarters, Financial Department Chief, and AI Digital Promotion Department Chief. This move is expected to strengthen the leadership structure within the company's key operational divisions.
Regarding the audit committee, Seikitokyu Kogyo will see the retirement of Saijo Yoichi, currently an outside director, around mid-June 2026. To fill the vacancy, the company has nominated Saijo Yoichi himself as a candidate for a replacement external auditor role. This decision reflects the company’s strategy to maintain continuity in oversight while ensuring fresh perspectives through internal transitions.
Following the annual general meeting in June, the new organizational structure of the board and audit committee is anticipated to be finalized after deliberations at the shareholders’ meeting, board of directors, and audit committee meetings. The proposed composition includes Hei Kiichi as Chairman and CEO, Ishida Kazuji as Representative Director, Chikuji Yoshiharu as Director, Kawano Takayuki as Director, and three external directors: Seimizu Reina, Komachiya Ikuko, and Matsumoto Hitoshi. Additionally, the audit team will consist of Eito Kenichi as a permanent auditor, Otsutsuki Tsunehisa as an external permanent auditor, and Ono Yutaka as an external auditor.
These personnel adjustments underscore Seikitokyu Kogyo's commitment to maintaining robust governance and strategic direction as it prepares for future challenges and opportunities.
