Status of Outside Directors

rtner has three outside directors, all of whom hold shares of the Company. Apart from this shareholding position, none of the three outside directors has any vested interests in he Company, including personal, capital, or business relationships.
Each outside director plays a role in ensuring that highly effective audits are conducted, from an objective and neutral view point, and we believe that the current system satisfactorily fulfills its management monitoring and advisory functions. The three outside directors are designated as
independent directors as defined by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and they are registered with the exchange.
Although the Company does not have any specific standards or policies regarding independence for the appointment of outside directors, when making such appointments we not only meet the regulatory requirements established by the Companies Act, but also take into account the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s criteria for ensuring the independence of independent directors.

Mutual cooperation between supervision or audits by outside directors and internal audits, audits by Audit and Supervisory Committee members, and accounting audits; relations with the internal control department

Artner has three outside directors, and they are directors who are members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee.
The Head of the Internal Audit Office and the Audit and Supervisory Committee consult with each other and exchange information and views when preparing their annual audit plans and creating audit reports. This enables them to share information and conduct audits efficiently.
The Internal Audit Office and the Audit and Supervisory Committee exchange information and views with an external accounting auditor of record in order to have a common understanding of issues subject to audits and other relevant matters. They also seek professional advice and guidance from the Accounting Auditor as needed.
