About
Ms. Sachiko Ichikawa has extensive experience, broad knowledge and a global perspective as an attorney (in Japan and New York, U.S.A.) and a certified public accountant in the U.S. She also possesses a high level of insight, expertise, and capabilities that are expected of an Outside Director of Olympus through her experience as an Outside Director and Outside Auditor at several other companies and her experience as Statutory Auditor of The Board Director Training Institute of Japan. Since she assumed the post of Director of Olympus in June 2021, she has been giving guidance/advice regarding the business management of Olympus at meetings of the Board of Directors. In addition, she has promoted the audit of the execution of duties by the Executive Officers and Directors of Olympus as a member of the Audit Committee. 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 she is an indispensable person for the composition of the Board of Directors and nominated her.
In addition, Olympus considers that there is no risk of conflicts of interest with general shareholders and designates her as an independent officer because she 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.
