The Company will continue to review the content of the experience and skills required for the Company's Board of Directors through dialogue with stakeholders.

Ensuring Effectiveness of Board of Directors and Board of Corporate Auditors
Under rapidly changing business environment and advancement of globalization, the Company appoints candidates of Directors with a focus on balance among knowledge, experience and expertise, diversity and global viewpoints. There are 7 Directors in the Board including External Directors at the moment. The Company will keep the Board in appropriate number to enable them to make quick-decisions with each of them providing their expertise and exchanging ideas.
External Directors and External Corporate Auditors who also serves for other companies are annually disclosed at “the Notice of Convocation for the General Meeting of Shareholders,” “Securities Report” and “Corporate Governance Report.”
In addition, in order to further improve the functions of the Board of Directors, an internal questionnaire was conducted to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the Board of Directors as a whole, the results of which were analyzed and evaluated, and improvements are being made. The questionnaire conducted in January 2023 identified areas for improvement with regard to agenda setting and administrative structure, and improvements are being made sequentially.

*All external corporate auditors are independent auditors.
The Board Members’ Compensation System
YUSHIN board members’ compensation system is aimed at improving motivation for improving performance and securing and retaining excellent human resources, for the sustainable growth and enhancement of competitiveness of YUSHIN. YUSHIN has decided a new policy for the board members’ compensation at the board meeting held on March 7th, 2022. Nomination and Remuneration Committee accepted the consultations and approved the decision.
The outline
• Setting compensation standard in reference to industry standards.
• Strengthening efforts to improve mid-term performance and to drive up the stock price
• Improving objectivity and fairness in compensation deciding process.
The board members’ compensation consists of monthly compensation (basic compensation), short-term performance bonuses, and mid-term performance bonuses and stock-price-linked bonuses.
Monthly compensation (basic compensation) is determined by the Representative Director and President, who is delegated by the Board of Directors, based on the evaluation of Directors determined through deliberation by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee within the monthly remuneration range (upper and lower limits) for each position. Short-term performance bonuses are determined by multiplying the base salary of the position by a performance coefficient based on the achievement of the consolidated Ordinary profit, and by reflecting the overall contribution of the Directors based on target management and qualitative assessment. The mid-term performance bonuses and stock-price-linked bonuses are decided by reflecting two coefficients - mid-term performance coefficient based on the growing rate of earning per share (EPS), and stock-price-linked coefficient based on the growing rate of the stock price.
The makeup of the compensation is determined by position with reference to the external standards of the companies in the same industry and of the same size as the Company (the total of short-term performance bonus and medium-term performance/stock-price-linked bonus is approximately 30%).
The compensation for External Directors and Auditors consists of fixed compensation (basic compensation). It is our policy not to pay performance-linked compensations in order to maintain independence in the conduct of business.
