Kintetsu Group Holdings to adopt audit and supervisory committee structure

Kintetsu Group Holdings Co.,Ltd. will transition to a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, following a board resolution on December 25, 2025. This change, which requires approval at the 115th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in June 2026, is a key initiative under the "Kintetsu Group Medium-Term Management Plan 2028." The plan aims to enhance corporate and shareholder value by strengthening corporate governance and the board's supervisory function.

The transition seeks to improve the group's ability to adapt to changes in its business environment. By granting voting rights to officers with supervisory responsibilities, including external officers, at board meetings, Kintetsu Group Holdings expects to strengthen the board's oversight. This move will also expand the delegation of authority for business execution to management, enabling swifter decision-making and allowing the board to focus more on long-term management strategies.

Further details regarding amendments to the articles of incorporation and the structure of officers will be announced as they are finalized. The company anticipates this transition will lead to sustainable corporate value creation and further growth.
