Compensation system overview

【Annual Base Salary】

Annual Base Salary for Directors and Executive Officers shall be determined individually based on the above compensation basic policies, taking into consideration responsibilities, performance, experience and difficulty of securing personnel, etc., while referring to the compensation levels inside and outside Japan as reference information.

【Performance-linked compensation】

In order to encourage the Executive Officers to work together to achieve single-year management goals and to ensure that they are fairly equitably rewarded in accordance with the results of their performance, the calculation formula has been composed of only company-wide performance.

Performance-linked Compensation = Base amount of Performance-linked compensation × Payout rate according to achievement of performance targets
  • The Base Amount of Performance-linked compensation shall be determined individually as a certain percentage of the Annual Base Salary according to responsibilities, etc., of the eligible Executive Officer in the evaluation period.
  • Business targets achievement rates shall be set by calculating the ratio based on the actual figures disclosed in the Annual Securities Report versus the forecast figures disclosed in the summary financial statements or the like at the beginning of each period. If there is more than one business target, the achievement of each target is multiplied by the percentage of each target in the total performance target, and then aggregated. For the the Fiscal Year ending March 2022, it shall be calculated based upon the achievement rates of return on invested capital (ROIC), CE, and net profit for the period belonging to the owners of the parent company (net income).
  • The payout rate according to the achievement level of performance targets is shown in the chart below.

(Claw back, etc.)
If the financial statements have been retroactively corrected due to a material accounting mistake or malpractice in the process of account settlement by the Company, the Compensation Committee shall conduct a review based on such event for revisions of performance-linked compensation already paid and/or due to be paid in the future to the relevant Executive Officer, and can decide to request the return of performance-linked compensation already paid to the Executive Officer and/or amend performance-linked compensation to be paid. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee may adjust the method of calculating performance-linked compensation if an event occurs that was not expected at the beginning of the evaluation period after considering both such event and the Executive Officer's management responsibility in a comprehensive manner, based on internal fact-finding and, where necessary, the views of external specialized agencies.

【Stock-linked compensation】

The company has been applying the stock-linked monetary compensation (the “Phantom Stock Plan”) since the fiscal year ended March 2020 with the aim of encouraging Directors and Executive Officers to monitor, supervise, manage and make management decisions for achieving the sustained improvement in the corporate value of the Company over the mid- to long-term as well as further promoting shared values between the Directors and Executive Officers and shareholders of the Company, and attracting and retaining personnel from around the globe that will contribute to further raising corporate value by standardizing global executives’ compensation in the Group.
The Company grants the Phantom Stock to Executive Officers on the first day of each business year, and to Directors on the day of each the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
The number of the PS allotted to each Director and Executive Officer shall be the number calculated by dividing the granted amount which is calculated by multiplies Annual Base Salary by the coefficient according to responsibilities, etc., of the eligible officer, by the Company’s stock price at the time of grant.
After the period from the grant date to the vesting date (the “Holding Period”) has passed, the amount calculated by multiplying the stock price at that time by the number of stocks granted shall be paid.
With the above mechanism, Directors and Executive Officers are encouraged to act with an awareness of the impact on the Company’s stock price, similar to the Restricted Stock etc.

Grant date⇒Holding Period⇒Vesting date
