Hibiki Path Advisors (\u201cwe\u201d, \u201cus\u201d, \u201cour\u201d) submitted a shareholder proposal to JAPAN PURE CHEMICAL CO., LTD. (the \u201cCompany\u201d, \u201cJPC\u201d) to protect the common interests of JPC\u2019s shareholders. However, as we described in the \u201c23\/Jun\/2025 JPC\u2019s 54th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders\u201d, our shareholder proposals were not approved (the Company&#8217;s proposals were approved). We would like to touch on Voting results (only in Japanese), which was disclosed on 26th June since it contains interesting and encouraging facts. First, our shareholder proposal Item 11 (the change of decision-making body for dividends of surplus etc. through an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation) received 49% support from fellow shareholders. It is 9% higher than the similar proposal last year, which was already high at 40% support. If we exclude the votes of shareholders closely related to JPC or those with cross-shareholdings\u00b9 who are likely to have opposed our proposals (\u201cJPC-related shareholders\u201d) (as estimated from the top 30 shareholders listed in the Summer 2025 issue of Toyo Keizai Inc.\u2019s Shikiho and JPC\u2019s directors&#8217; shareholdings disclosed in the securities report), Item 11 received approximately 73% support from such \u201cunrelated\u201d shareholders. With this results, the JPC Board of Directors should seriously reflect on whether they are truly taking a fair approach to protecting and enhancing shareholder rights \u2014 as the capital markets rejected management&#8217;s stance to shut shareholders out from decision making on surplus distribution. Results of other items are as follows: \u30fbItem 1 The transition to a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee through the amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation: Approval rate was limited to 80.0% (70% excluding JPC-related&hellip;","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":532,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[78,39,68],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-78","category-engagement","category-68"],"views":3241,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4919"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4919\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4929,"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4919\/revisions\/4929"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hibiki-path-advisors.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
