Nidec ( (JP:6594) ) has issued an announcement.

Nidec has overhauled its proposed Board of Directors slate ahead of its June 18 annual shareholders’ meeting, naming a single re-nominated director, President and CEO Mitsuya Kishida, alongside a broad lineup of newly nominated executives and outside independent directors drawn from major industrial, financial, and advisory firms. The move is part of a wider corporate governance reform following a third-party committee’s report on past improper accounting, with the company emphasizing a more diverse and expert board and signaling that, based on an ongoing Executive Responsibility Investigation Committee review, it may pursue damage claims or other legal measures against current or former management found legally liable.

The new slate notably elevates internal executives responsible for compliance, human resources, and supply chain while adding multiple outside independent directors, including seasoned figures with backgrounds at BlackRock, Toray, Nippon Steel, AXA, and major audit and investment banks, as well as specialists to serve on the Audit and Supervisory Committee. This reshaped governance structure is intended to bolster oversight, risk management, and stakeholder confidence as Nidec addresses the consequences of its accounting problems and seeks to re-establish trust in its management and controls.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6594) stock is a Buy with a Yen3200.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nidec stock, see the JP:6594 Stock Forecast page.
