View on the Appropriate Balance between Knowledge, Experience and Skills of the Board as a Whole, and on Diversity and Appropriate Board Size

The Company considers the board to be formed by members selected from various viewpoints to make appropriate and expeditious decision-making and oversee the execution of business activities in diverse fields (including chemicals, performance materials, agricultural chemicals, and pharmaceuticals). Those points include the balance of knowledge, experience, skills, and other capacity and diversity, including gender, internationality, and practical experience in totality of the board.

To ensure a well-balanced and diverse board composition, based on the Company Philosophy and Management Strategy, the Company has identified the expertness and experience required for its directors (skills requirements): "corporate management," "research and development/technologies," "finance and accounting," "legal/risk management/internal control," "personnel affairs/personnel strategies," and "global experience." And the Company makes the board consist of appropriate persons as its directors, who have met the above-skills requirements appropriately, and who are healthy, physically and mentally, and trusted and respected for their excellent characters, a high level of insight, and a sense of ethics.

We will review the above skills requirements as necessary based on the Management Strategy and relevant policies.
