Executive Compensation

Executive compensation system

Amount of executive compensation, contents of the policy to determine the calculation method of the executive compensation, and how to determine the policy

The compensation of Directors (excluding Directors who are Audit & Supervisory Committee Members; The same shall apply hereafter) and Executive Corporate Officers (Senior Corporate Officer level and above) shall be divided into supervisory and executive compensation. Supervisory compensation is a fixed monthly amount paid in cash to Directors in accordance with their responsibilities. Executive compensation consists of basic compensation, bonuses, and stock-based compensation that are paid to Executive Corporate Officers. The ratio of compensation shall be 60% basic compensation, 25% bonuses, 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. The details are in the following table.
Regarding the determination of compensation for individual Directors and Executive Corporate Officers, the President and CEO Teruhiko Achikita is entrusted with the responsibility of making the decisions through resolutions of the Board of Directors. The President has the authority to determine compensation for respective job ranks and to evaluate and determine the individual performances of Executive Corporate Officers. However, the decisions 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 executives 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.
The compensation for Directors who are Audit & Supervisory Committee Members is determined through deliberations by Directors who are Audit & Supervisory Committee Members.

Company performance portion

    The payment is calculated and paid according to the achievement of the target indicator
    when the conditional indicator meets the pre-determined level.
    However, the Compensation Committee may treat the contents, level, etc., of the conditional and
    target indicators differently when the Compensation Committee deems it particularly necessary,
    such as in the event of a significant change in the management environment.

 

<Conditional indicators>

We regard the attainment of a certain level of profit and the payment of dividends for each business fiscal year constantly
as the condition for the payment of bonuses; and set profit attributable to owners of parent as a conditional indicator.


If the profit attributable to owners of parent for the business fiscal year in question falls below 70% of the average
of the net income attributable to shareholders of the parent company over the previous five years,
excluding the highest and lowest amounts, bonuses pertinent to the company performance will not be paid.

 

<Target indicators>

In order to increase incentives to achieve the “Nankai Group Management Vision 2027,”
we have set consolidated operating income, the numerical target of the Vision, as our target indicator.


The percentage of achievement against the budget established at the beginning of the fiscal year will be reflected
in the payment rate linearly (proportionally) between 80% and 120%.
If the standard amount is 100%, the payment amount will vary between 50% and 150%.


If the achievement rate falls below 80%, bonuses pertinent to the company performance will not be paid.


Targets and performance of the indicators concerning FY2021 performance-based compensations
To calculate officers’ bonuses (company performance-based part) for the business fiscal year,
the Compensation Committee meeting held on October 29, 2021 resolved that the requirement indicator for the approved
policy above will not be applied temporarily,
on the condition that the profit attributable to owners of parent will be recorded. Furthermore,
even when the achievement rate of the target indicator falls below 80%, 50% bonus will be provided uniformly as a unique
measure for the business fiscal year.
On that understanding, the Compensation Committee met on April 28, 2022
and approved the revision of the policy and the amount of officers’ bonuses for the business fiscal year.
The requirement indicator and target indicator results were as follows for the business fiscal year.
