Corporate Governance
Wacom made the transition to a “Company with an Audit Commit-
tee” in June, 2015.
The new Board of Directors comprises eight directors, three of
whom are Audit Committee members. The Board of Directors meet-
ings are held once a month to make prompt, appropriate decisions
regarding overall management, including reviewing management
policies, examining the progress of business operations, and gen-
eral business management and supervision.
Our group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has been appointed as
President of the Board and new Executive Vice Presidents (EVP)
have been introduced to ensure the smooth running of our business
in response to changes in the business environment. The group
CEO and EVPs attend Executive Committee meetings once a month
to pragmatically review the progress of business plans and indi-
vidual issues and take measures where necessary. In addition to
Board meetings, Audit Committee members attend other important
meetings to monitor the business execution of directors. The Audit
Committee also sets the audit plan and policy for the fiscal year,
which is discussed with the group CEO.
To ensure a highly transparent and fair management system, we
have defined the term of office of non-Audit Committee directors to
one year, and further clarified their management responsibilities to
shareholders.
We also announced and submitted our Corporate Governance
Report to the Tokyo Stock Exchange (“TSE”) on September 29,
2015, in compliance with the TSE’ s newly established Corporate
Governance Code.
Note:
Wacom made the transition to a Company with an Audit Committee in accordance with the resolution on changes to the Articles of Incorporation at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on June 26, 2015.
Mr. Yasuyuki Fujishima, Mr. Haruo Mizuho, Mr. Takeshi Ebitani, and Mr. Takashi Kamura are independent outside directors.
The term of office of Audit Committee members is two years from the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on June 26, 2015.
