About
Mr. Yasushi Shingai possesses extensive experience and diverse knowledge as a business manager at Japan Tobacco Inc. He also possesses a high level of insight, expertise, and capabilities that are expected of an Outside Director of Olympus through his experience as an Outside Director at several other companies, combined with his professional knowledge beyond corporate finance regarding acquisition of global companies as well as post-acquisition management and governance, in addition to his extensive experience as a business manager of an overseas business headquarters company of the Japan Tobacco Group. Since he assumed the post of Director of Olympus in June 2022, 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 and the Compensation Committee, he facilitated decisions regarding the contents of the agenda for election of Directors and decisions regarding executive compensation. 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.
