The latest announcement is out from NHK Spring Co., Ltd. ( (JP:5991) ).

NHK Spring Co., Ltd. has received shareholder proposals from LONGCHAMP SICA V to amend its Articles of Incorporation regarding the composition of external directors and the record dates for annual general meetings. After deliberation on May 11, 2026, the board resolved to oppose these proposals, arguing they would restrict flexibility in appointing directors and undermine its ability to optimize board effectiveness.

The company maintains that its existing governance structure, including a nomination and compensation committee dominated by independent external directors, already ensures objectivity in director selection and pay. NHK Spring also highlights that its proposed board will have 37.5% independent external directors, exceeding Prime Market requirements, and that its skills-based board composition and capital-efficiency targets support sustainable growth and medium- to long-term value creation for shareholders.
