Remuneration for non-executive directors, including outside directors, consists of basic compensation (monetary compensation) and stock compensation (restricted stock) not linked to performance (both fixed compensation), in order to implement shared shareholder value in addition to supervising business execution.
This remuneration system was newly introduced from fiscal year 2022, with a change to a structure in which 10% of the existing fixed monetary compensation amount of 100% is replaced by restricted stock (approximate).
