Evaluation of current business status and the business portfolio<br> Plastics and Information & Electronics are expected to remain the Company’s core businesses, representing its two largest segments. However, given the changes in the business environment, external factors for achieving sustainable growth need to be explained, and it is hoped that new business partners and commercial products can be derived from these businesses.<br> In addition to the two dominant segments, the Company is steadily developing a potential third pillar of its businesses. This development, primarily through mergers and acquisitions, is receiving positive recognition. For new businesses, it is necessary to visualize growth areas and set clear objectives so that the Board of Directors can appropriately monitor them.<br> The Company identifies several significant risks, including potential risks associated with overseas activities, credit risk of customers, and risk related to business investments. The Company’s risk tolerance is considered adequate, being commensurate with its size and financial strength.</li> <li>2. Status of the Board of Directors<br> The effectiveness of the Board of Directors has been enhanced following the Company’s transition to a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. Observations indicate that the chairman and other board members perform their roles and functions appropriately and contribute to the Board’s ability to monitor and oversee the Company’s operational execution.<br> There is an ongoing commitment to open and lively dialogue within the Board, which has demonstrated progress in understanding and discussing medium- to long-term management issues identified in the effectiveness evaluation for fiscal 2022. This progress is exemplified by the creation of a forum for all directors to engage in discussions outside of regular Board of Directors meetings, particularly during the process of formulating new medium-term management plans.<br> Matters related to human resources are recognized as a major management issue. The Board of Directors must discuss human resource strategies to promote the success of diverse workforce. With regard to sustainability issues, the Sustainability Committee, with inside directors as members and outside directors as observers, holds regular discussions on sustainability, and this effort has been deemed adequate. However, there is a need for more in-depth discussions on promoting diversity within the Company and succession planning for the president and outside directors.</li> <li>3. Status of the Nominating and Remuneration Committee<br> The Nominating and Remuneration Committee is highly evaluated as having adequate discussions with appropriate membership under a clear definition of roles. The process for appointing outside directors and the status of executive compensation are also assessed favorably.<br> However, it seems the Nominating and Remuneration Committee does not provide enough information to the Board of Directors on the content of consultations and issues to be discussed.</li> <li>4. Status of the Audit and Supervisory Committee<br> The Audit and Supervisory Committee is assessed favorably for its clear definition of roles, appropriate membership, and adequate discussions. It is necessary to continue to effectively strengthen the internal audit system and improve the organizational audit system.</li> <li>5. Support system for and communication among outside directors<br> The support system for outside directors is considered adequate. Improvement in communication among outside directors, identified as an issue in the effectiveness evaluation for fiscal 2022, was confirmed.</li> <li>6. Relationship with investors and shareholders<br> The Company’s relationship with investors and shareholders is assessed favorably because of its diligent IR activities and sufficient sharing of information with the Board of Directors as to the status of dialogue with investors. However, it is considered necessary for the Company to further communicate its growth strategy and competitive advantages (strengths) so that they can be included in evaluations in the capital market.</li> </ul> </td> </tr> <tr> <th>Future course of action</th> <td class="-left">The Company will strive to further enhance the effectiveness of the board of directors by executing the following initiatives to deal with the issues recognized from the results of the above-mentioned analysis and evaluation. <ul class="c-list-a -indent1" style="margin: 0;"> <li>● Business status and portfolio<br> Deepen discussion of sustainable growth strategies by segment<br> Visualize new business growth and consider clarification of target setting</li> <li>● Management issues<br> Further deepen discussion of human resource issues such as sales methods, human resource development, and diversity promotion, and of sustainability issues such as recycling operations</li> <li>● Medium- to long-term strategies<br> Continue to enhance discussions on medium- to long-term strategies</li> <li>● Nominating and Remuneration Committee<br> Continue making progress on efforts to develop management personnel and successors for the president<br> Further promote sharing of information with the Board of Directors</li> <li>● Composition and structure of the Audit and Supervisory Committee<br>Enhance the internal audit system</li> <li>● Relationship with investors and shareholders<br> Verbalize the Company’s strengths and enhance disclosure of those to the capital market</li> </ul> </td> </tr> </table></div> <div class="c-column -spBlock"> <div class="item" style="flex: 1;"> <h4 class="c-heading-b">Major items from the Board of Directors evaluation questionnaire</h4> <ul class="c-list-a"> <li>1.

Further, in the new medium-term management plan NC2026, which will run through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, we set forth a management strategy of “improving asset efficiency and securing investment funds by curtailing strategically held shares,” and intend to steadfastly implement the strategy through March 31, 2027.</p> <h4 class="c-heading-b">Policy on reducing strategic shareholdings</h4> <p class="c-text-a">We will reduce strategically held shares over the medium to long term, aiming to cut the balance by approximately 80% by March 31, 2027, relative to the balance as of March 31, 2021.</p> <div class="c-column"> <div class="item"> <figure class="c-figure"><img src="/themes/english@inabata/img/sustainability/governance/corporate_governance-07en.jpg" alt=""></figure> </div> <div class="item"> <figure class="c-figure"><img src="/themes/english@inabata/img/sustainability/governance/corporate_governance-08en.jpg" alt=""></figure> </div> </div> <h4 class="c-heading-b">Criteria for exercise of voting rights</h4> <p class="c-text-a">In principle, Inabata exercises voting rights for all agendas in order to exercise its rights as a shareholder.
