Fujicco Tightens Governance on Takeover Defenses With New Independent Review Layer

Fujicco Co ( (JP:2908) ) has shared an announcement.

Fujicco has decided to continue its takeover defense framework while partially amending it to strengthen shareholder protections and governance around potential hostile acquisition attempts. The board resolved to propose an updated “pre-warning type” rights plan at the June 2026 shareholders’ meeting, even though no large-scale purchase proposals are currently pending.

Under the revised structure, any board decision to trigger takeover countermeasures based on the Corporate Value Determination Committee’s recommendation will be subject to review by a newly established Special Independent Committee composed solely of outside directors. If this committee deems the decision legally and substantively appropriate, the countermeasures will proceed; if it finds room for doubt, the board must seek explicit shareholder approval, enhancing transparency and respect for shareholder intent while aligning with evolving legal and market standards.
