An announcement from Syuppin Co., Ltd. ( (JP:3179) ) is now available.

Syuppin Co., Ltd. has overhauled its governance framework ahead of its June 25 annual general meeting, proposing a slate of five directors of whom four will be outside directors, shifting the board to a monitoring structure. The move accompanies a previously announced change in representative director and is aimed at strengthening supervisory functions and aligning the company with higher governance standards expected on the Prime market.

New outside director candidates include attorney Aya Watanabe, who holds multiple outside roles at listed companies, and digital and retail specialist Takuya Shiraishi, who brings experience from IBM Japan, Lawson, Walmart Japan and other firms. Several current directors, including Director and Senior Executive Officer Risa Okabe, will step down from the board but remain in senior executive roles, clarifying the separation between management execution and board oversight while maintaining continuity in corporate and ESG strategy.
