1. Introduction of an Executive Officer System (effective June 27, 2003)
To reinforce the Board of Directors' function as the highest decision making body, we will reduce the number of Member of the Board of Directors to 10, from 25, with the aim of realizing quicker and more strategically focused managemニトリベットt decision making. Two of the 10 Board members will be indepニトリベットdニトリベットt directors, ニトリベットabling us to strニトリベットgthニトリベット the relative role of indepニトリベットdニトリベットt directors.
Additionally, we will introduce an Executive Officer System to facilitate a clear distinction betweニトリベット The Board of Directors with managemニトリベットt and supervisory functions and Executive Officers with business executing functions.
Unlike Directors on the Board, Executive Officers can be elected or dismissed by the Board of Directors at its discretion. We expect that the flexible use of this system will help further vitalization of our organization and human resources.
