Supervisory pay is paid monthly to Directors in cash in a fixed amount commernsurate with the responsibilities of the position. Executive compensation consists of a base salary, bonuses, and stock-based compensation and is paid to the Chairman (limited to those who are business execution Directors; the same shall apply hereinafter) and Executive Corporate Officers (the Chairman and the Executive Corporate Officers are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Executive Business Corporate Officers”). The ratio of compensation shall be 60% basic compensation, 25% bonus, and 15% stock-based compensation, taking into consideration the need to increase incentives to improve business performance and to promote management with an awareness of shareholder value and stock price. Details are shown in the diagram below.
The determination of compensation for individual Directors and Executive Corporate Officers is left entirely up to Teruhiko Achikita, the Representative Director and Chairman, CEO, by resolution of the Board of Directors. He has the authority to determine the amount of compensation for each position and to evaluate and determine the individual performances of Executive Corporate Officers. Such decisions, however, must be approved by the Compensation Committee. In the event of any revision to the policy regarding the determination of the amount of compensation, etc. of officers or the method of calculation thereof, the details of such revisions shall be deliberated by the Committee prior to the resolution of the Board of Directors.
Remuneration for Directors who are Audit & Supervisory Committee Members is determined through consultation among the Directors who are Audit & Supervisory Committee Members.
