AISIN CORPORATION has selected the director candidates to be proposed at the 102nd Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in June of this year. These director appointments will be formally decided at the 102nd Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders and the subsequent Board of Directors meeting.

In order to achieve sustainable growth and medium- to long- term enhancement in corporate value and to ensure accurate, prompt and fair decision-making and appropriate supervision of management, AISIN’s Board of Directors comprehensively considers various measures when deciding on the appointment and dismissal of Directors. These measures aim to optimize the balance of knowledge, experience and skills and include the appointment of several highly specialized Outside Directors from within and outside the industry and the appointment of Directors by selecting those with extensive experience and broad insight from global companies.

The speed of change in the environment we live in is rapid, with diversifying values sought by society and people, carbon neutrality, and changes in industrial structure due to the electrification and intelligence of mobility, and it is very different from even a year ago. In light of this situation, the Company's Board of Directors has appointed eight director candidates following discussions at the Executive Nomination and Remuneration Council, chaired by an outside director, in order to further promote and strengthen business structural reform and sustainability management.
In addition to the six reappointed members, we appointed the following new candidates for directors: Mr. Yasuhito Hirota, who has been involved in management at Mitsubishi Corporation and ASICS Corporation for many years and has a high level of expertise in business strategy; and Ms. Keiko Tatsuwaki, who has been engaged in governance-related consulting such as ESG, CSR and internal control at Deloitte Tohmatsu for many years and has a high level of expertise especially in governance, risk management and sustainability.
