TOKYO, Mar 16 (Pulse News Wire) – Yellow Hat Ltd. (9882.T) announced today that its board of directors held on March 16 decided on the candidates for the upcoming 68th ordinary shareholders' meeting scheduled for late June 2026.
The company also resolved to introduce an executive officer system aimed at strengthening governance and enhancing responsiveness to changing business environments. The newly appointed directors include Yasuo Horie as Chairman, Akihiro Kimura as President, Shida Tadashi as Vice President, Eiko Kubota as Outside Director, and Chiemitsu Kanda as Outside Director. Additionally, Yoshimi Kimura and Akira Tamura were named as candidates for auditors. Both Kubota and Kanda are independent outside directors according to the Companies Act and Tokyo Stock Exchange regulations.
In conjunction with these appointments, the company plans to abolish the Product Department and Operations Department effective April 1, 2026, prior to implementing the new executive officer system. The system will commence simultaneously with the annual shareholders’ meeting and involve four executive officers responsible for product procurement, facilities and technology, operations promotion, and management systems respectively. The introduction of the executive officer system seeks to separate decision-making and supervisory functions from operational execution, aiming to enhance corporate governance and agility in responding to environmental changes. Under the new structure, the board will focus on oversight while delegating more authority to executives to streamline operations.
