About
Mr. Takeshi Kunibe has considerable knowledge and rich experience in the
business world, including the field of finance and group company management,
etc., having served successively as Representative Director, President and Chief
Executive Officer of SMBC, as well as Representative Director and President,
Director President, Representative Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board
of SMFG.
Utilizing this knowledge and experience, his recommendations concerning the
overall management of the Company are expected to contribute to sustaining and
improving transparency and soundness of management as well as enhancing
corporate governance.
Therefore, the Company appointed him as an Outside Director.
Mr. Takeshi Kunibe is unlikely to have a conflict of interest with general
shareholders. For this reason, the Company considers him as an Independent
Director and has submitted the relevant notification to the Tokyo Stock
Exchange. Mr. Takeshi Kunibe serves as Chairman of the Board of Sumitomo Mitsui
Financial Group, Inc. He also served as Representative Director, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation from April
2011 to April 2017, but has had no involvement in the execution of business at
the said bank since his retirement in April 2017. Because the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries have several lenders and the said bank is only one
lender among the several lenders of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries, the said bank is not a business partner which has a significant
impact on the Company’s decision making. As of the end of the most recent fiscal
year, the balance of loans from the said bank was JPY 160.6billion, which was
15.2% of the total amount of interest-bearing liabilities.
