About

Mr. Yasumasa Masuda has extensive experience and diverse knowledge as a business manager in the healthcare industry at Astellas Pharma Inc. In addition, through his experience as an independent non-executive officer at the Deloitte Tohmatsu Group, 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 2018, he has been giving guidance/advice regarding the business management of Olympus at meetings of the Board of Directors and the Nominating Committee. After the transition to a Company with a Nominating Committee, etc. in June 2019, he monitored business execution of Olympus at the Board of Directors, and as a member of the Nominating and Compensation Committees, he facilitated decisions regarding the contents of the agenda for election of Directors and regarding executive compensation. In addition, he has been promoting the audit of the execution of duties by the Executive Officers and Directors of Olympus as Chairperson of the Audit Committee since June 2021. 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.
