TOKYO, Apr 22 (Pulse News Wire) – Tokyo Koki Co., Ltd. (7719.T) announced today that it has established an external committee comprising experts to review governance issues related to internal whistleblower cases involving personnel management and preventive measures.
The decision was made during an extraordinary board meeting held. The company received an external legal report on governance and compliance matters in November 2025 and has since worked closely with independent outside directors to address these concerns. While initial steps such as revising regulations and enhancing organizational structures have been taken, the company believes further validation from an unbiased perspective is necessary. Therefore, the board decided to set up a committee consisting of external specialists and potential independent outside directors to ensure objectivity and transparency.
The committee's objectives include verifying the factual findings, evaluating interpretations, analyzing underlying causes, and validating preventive measures. It is expected to provide recommendations for additional actions if needed. The company stated it will fully cooperate with the investigation and disclose the results promptly upon receiving the final report. Regarding potential impacts on performance, Tokyo Koki said it would disclose any effects once the investigation concludes.
