*For the ease of comprehension of our international investors, this Committee is referred to as the "CEO Evaluation Committee." In this context, "CEO" refers to DISCO's Representative Executive Officer and President, who also serves as Chief Executive Officer and is in charge of overseeing overall business execution. "Representative Executive Officer" is a statutory position under the Companies Act of Japan.
This Committee evaluates items such as the core management policies of CEO* and business performance, notifies and reports the evaluation results to CEO, and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the dismissal of CEO as necessary. Through these actions, the Committee holds the role of strengthening the Board of Directors' deliberative function for the selection/dismissal of CEO.
This Committee is comprised of all outside directors.
Particulars regarding the evaluation items, evaluation procedure, resolution method, recommendation of matters such as dismissal, and other necessary items regarding this Committee are stipulated in the "CEO (Representative Executive Officer) Evaluation Committee Regulations." As all Committee members share these clearly defined standards, they are able to pass a resolution to replace any ineligible CEO without hesitation.
