Instruction
Blended Rationale: A vote AGAINST this resolution is warranted as the spin-off transaction includes the articles of incorporation
of spun-off entities that include following features:- The proposed authorized capital would result in less than 30 percent of the
proposed authorized capital on issue;- The issuance of new securities allowed by the proposal well exceeds the 20 percent
guideline and the risk of dilution to existing shareholders is significant;- The removal of provisions regarding the company's
duty to notify shareholders in advance of third-party allotment is viewed as damage to shareholders' right to be informed of the
company's financial activity;- The proposal would enable the board to approve income allocation, and potentially take away
shareholders' right to approve the company's dividend payment decisions without any countervailing benefits;- The proposal
would deprive minority shareholders of the ability to request cumulative voting and take away a measure designed to monitor
potential abuses by controlling shareholders;- The new notice period may be too short, preventing outside directors from
attending the meeting, and therefore reduce independent oversight of board resolutions.
