About
Mr. David Robert Hale is a Partner of ValueAct Capital Management L.P., one of Olympus’s shareholders. He has a track record of helping global companies transform themselves with his knowledge of the global capital markets and the healthcare industry as a business management consultant and investor with experience in diverse industries, and he possesses a high level of insight, expertise, and capabilities that are expected of an Outside Director of Olympus. Since he assumed the post of Director of Olympus in June 2019, he has been giving guidance/advice regarding the business management of Olympus at meetings of the Board of Directors. In addition, as a member of the Nominating Committee, he facilitated decisions regarding the contents of the agenda for election of Directors. Olympus expects that Outside Directors will monitor management from the perspective of achieving sustainable growth of Olympus and enhancing corporate value over the medium to long term as entrusted by shareholders, and will provide advice based on their own knowledge. From the above, Olympus has determined that he is an indispensable person for the composition of the Board of Directors and nominated him. In addition, Olympus considers that there is no risk of conflicts of interest with general shareholders and designates him as an independent officer because he meets the standards for the independence of outside officers stipulated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the “Criteria for Independence of Outside Officers” stipulated by Olympus.
