Proposals and References

Proposal 1: Reduction of Share Capital and Appropriation of Surplus

In order to compensate for the deficit and ensure mobility in future capital policies, the Company will reduce the amount of its share capital and make the appropriation of its other capital surplus in accordance with the provisions of Article 447, Paragraph 1 and Article 452 of the Companies Act. With this, the Company will improve the soundness of its financial position and ensure flexibility and mobility in its future capital policies.

Since there will be no change in the total number of issued shares or the amount of net assets of the Company, there will be no impact on the number of shares held by shareholders or the net asset value per share.

1. Details of the reduction in the amount of share capital

  1. Amount of capital to be reduced
    Of the capital stock amount of 14,041,834,640 yen, 9,836,447,281 yen will be reduced and the

entire amount of capital to be reduced will be transferred to other capital surplus. The capital stock amount after the reduction will be 4,205,387,359 yen.

  1. Method of reducing the amount of capital
    As capital will be reduced without compensation, there will be no change in the total number of

issued shares and the entire amount of capital to be reduced will be transferred to other capital surplus.

  1. Effective date of the capital reduction September 2, 2024 (plan)

2. Details of appropriation of surplus

Proposal 2: Partial Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation

  1. Reasons for amendments
  1. Change of trade name and purposes
    Effective April 1, 2025 (plan), the Company will transition to a holding company structure. With this, our trade name will be changed to KABUSHIKI KAISHA SANIX HOLDINGS (SANIX HOLDINGS INCORPORATED in English) and its business purposes will be revised to align with our operations following the transition to the holding company structure.
    The changes of trade name and purposes shall take effect on the effective date of the incorporation- type company split (planned for April 1, 2025), contingent upon the successful implementation of the incorporation-type company split in accordance with the Company's incorporation-type company split plan (scheduled for October 1, 2024).
  2. Change of number of directors
    For the purpose of ensuring swift and sound decision-making at the Board of Directors meetings, the number of Directors will be changed from "not exceeding fourteen (14)" to "not exceeding ten (10)." The change in the number of Directors will take effect at the close of the Meeting.
  3. Change in the frequency of dividends of surplus
    Article 44 of the existing Articles of Incorporation of the Company stipulates that the surplus dividends shall be distributed four times a year to the shareholders recorded in the last register as of March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31. With a change in this dividend policy, however, the Company will distribute surplus dividends twice a year at the end of the interim period and the end of the fiscal year.
    The change in the frequency of dividends of surplus will take effect at the close of the Meeting.
  4. Other changes in general
    Other than adjustments in the number of articles due to added articles, changes will also be made as necessary.

Moreover, the Committee discussed the work experience of each candidate for Director, and persons who are able to fulfill the roles expected of the Board of Directors, such as striving to enhance corporate value through making decisions on medium- to long-term management policy and supervising overall management, have been selected.
