Because of this, in addition to enhancing management soundness and transparency, we are increasing corporate value by building a trusting relationship with our stakeholders. These stakeholders include shareholders, business partners, employees and regional societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<a name=\"cg01\" class=\"anchorTarget mT45\"><\/a>\n<h2 class=\"h2_sys comitee\"><span class=\"ts\">&#10102; Shareholders&#8217;Meeting <\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"cnv comitee\">(Convened on June 11, 2018)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"sm_title mT15\">Determines Important Matters as the Highest Decision-Making Body<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">The general shareholders&#8217; meeting serves as Capcom&#8217;s highest decision-making body and determines important matters as well as serves as a place for reporting audit results of consolidated financial statements.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p\"><strong class=\"ymarker\">Invitations to the general shareholders\u2019 meeting are issued approximately three weeks before convening the session, and efforts are made to allow for greater attendance by having the session about 10 days before the date on which most other companies hold their meetings. We have also made it possible for shareholders to exercise their voting rights over the internet using a computer or smartphone. In addition, we participate in an electronic voting rights exercise platform for institutional investors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p\">Four resolutions were brought up for discussion at the shareholders&#8217; meeting this year, all of which were approved and passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<a name=\"cg02\" class=\"anchorTarget mT45\"><\/a>\n<h2 class=\"h2_sys bdc\"><span class=\"ts\">&#10103; Board of Directors<\/span> <span class=\"rabel\"><span class=\"supervision\">Supervision<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"cnv bdc\">(Convened 15 times in the year ended March 31, 2018)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"sm_title mT15\">Management Decisions that Incorporate External Directors&#8217; Opinions<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">In addition to the regular Board of Directors meeting being convened once every month, it is also convened when the need arises.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p\">The Board of Directors is composed of eight directors (excluding Audit and Supervisory Committee members), three of whom are external directors, in addition to three directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee members (two of whom are external directors), for a total of 11 directors.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p\"><strong class=\"ymarker\">More than one-third of directors are external directors (five out of eleven)<\/strong> and all five of the external directors have been registered with Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. as independent directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a name=\"cg03\" class=\"anchorTarget mT45\"><\/a>\n<h2 class=\"h2_sys audit\"><span class=\"ts\">&#10104; Audit and Supervisory Committee<\/span> <span class=\"rabel\"><span class=\"audit\">Audit<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"cnv audit\">(Convened 16 times in the year ended March 31, 2018)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"sm_title mT15\">Cooperating with Accounting Auditors and the Internal Audit Department to Audit and Supervise<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">The Audit and Supervisory Committee is composed of three directors, two of whom are external directors. We carry out organizational audits and supervision by selecting two full-time members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee to collect and share information, while also making use of our internal control system.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p\">To this end, we have established an Internal Audit Division, etc. with 18 full-time staff members directly under the control of the Audit and Supervisory Committee. This Division makes regular reports and carries out appropriate work through organizational audits that include issuing instructions and other actions as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n<a name=\"cg04\" class=\"anchorTarget mT45\"><\/a>\n<h2 class=\"h2_govcont\"><span>&#10105; The Nomination and Remuneration Committee<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"sm_title mT15\">Providing Consultation on the Selection of Candidates for Director and Recommending Details of Director Compensation<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">Capcom has established a voluntary Nomination and Remuneration Committee with five members, a majority of whom are external directors. The committee has an external director as committee chairman, and serves as a consulting organization to the Board of Directors, as necessary, to ensure the objectivity and appropriateness of the decision-making process for nominating candidates for director and for setting the compensation of directors (excluding directors who are members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a name=\"cg05\" class=\"anchorTarget mT45\"><\/a>\n<h2 class=\"h2_govcont\"><span>&#10106; The Compliance Committee<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"cnv govcont\">(Convened four times in the year ended March 31, 2018)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"sm_title mT15\">Focusing on Compliance as an Important Management Issue<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">To ensure compliance, Capcom has established a Compliance Committee that meets quarterly and has an external director, who is also a certified attorney, as the chairman. In order to prevent illegal activities and misconduct, and so that all employees can directly report any instances of these, Capcom has established Compliance Hotline Rules and an internal hotline. Capcom also regularly monitors its compliance status with a compliance check sheet. To ensure effectiveness, Capcom properly disposes of problems confirmed by this committee and other issues that must be dealt with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a name=\"cg06\" class=\"anchorTarget\"><\/a>\n<h2 class=\"h2_sys audit\"><span class=\"ts\">&#10107; Accounting Auditors<\/span> <span class=\"rabel\"><span class=\"audit\">Audit<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"sm_title mT15\">Ensuring and Verifying Accounting Transparency<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p mT15\">Capcom has engaged KPMG AZSA LLC for financial audits as prescribed by the Companies Act and financial audits as prescribed by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law.

Disclosure Criteria<\/p>\n<p class=\"p mT15\">Capcom provides timely disclosure in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Law and other regulations including the &quot;Rules on Timely Disclosure of Corporate Information by Issuer of Listed Security&quot; (hereinafter Timely Disclosure Rules) stipulated by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and the Tokyo Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p\">It is our policy to disclose as much information as possible, including the disclosure of information not required by the Timely Disclosure Rules and other regulations, to accommodate our investors&#8217; needs.<strong class=\"ymarker\">We also disclose information through our corporate website in an attempt to provide quick and fair disclosure. Shareholders are informed of operating results and business conditions through shareholder letters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sm_title mT40\">3. Quiet Period<\/p>\n<p class=\"p mT15\">To prevent the unauthorized disclosure of quarterly earnings information prior to official announcements, Capcom has established a quiet period starting the day following the end of a fiscal period and ending on the day that financial information for that period is announced. During this period, we refuse all inquiries relating to our business performance.

Furthermore, their opinions are gathered and provided to management, and are utilized for corporate management going forward. As a company based in Osaka, proactive IR meetings with these parties enables us to minimize asymmetric information as we strive to achieve appropriate corporate value. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"p\">In fiscal 2017, we set up top management meetings between the chairman and CEO, the president and COO, and investors where medium- to long-term strategies and the direction of marketing strategies were explained. This also included candid discussions concerning management and development. Furthermore, we held an online individual investor briefing to allow individual investors from anywhere in the world to take part, as one of a variety of new pursuits informed by stock market views and demands. In addition, Capcom conducts a perception gap study every year targeting institutional investors and analysts in Japan and overseas. Being  aware of investor perception gaps gives us feedback on corporate management and IR activities. Questionnaires are also given to attendees at our Presentation of Financial Results and individual investor briefing sessions, allowing us to make proactive use of market opinions as one criterion in management decisions. Specific examples of the diverse use of this information include: (1) reviewing disclosure materials (disclosing new KPI) and (2) assessing earnings briefing sessions and (3) holding meetings with management personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tableStyle mT40 w60\">\n<p class=\"cap\">Fiscal 2017 IR Measures<\/p>\n<table class=\"typeB s03\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">By category<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Frequency<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Interviews accepted<\/td>\n<td>211<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Visited domestic investors<\/td>\n<td>138<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Visited overseas investors<\/td>\n<td>71<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total<\/td>\n<td>420<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><!--\/\/tableStyle-->\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tableStyle mT25 w80\">\n<p class=\"cap\">IR Events<\/p>\n<table class=\"typeB s04\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th width=\"44%\" style=\"width:46%\">Event<\/th>\n<th>Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Top Management Meeting<\/td>\n<td class=\"nbr vT\">Speakers: Chairman and CEO, Kenzo Tsujimoto<br>\nPresident and COO, Haruhiro Tsujimoto<br>\nExecutive Director and CFO, Kenkichi Nomura<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n  <td>Supplementary explanatory earnings administrative officer conference call<\/td>\n  <td>Conference call after earnings announcement \/ before financial results presentation to explain the results<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Online individual investor briefing<\/td>\n<td>Posted information sessions online for individual investors<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n  <td>Conducted perception gap study<\/td>\n  <td>Conducted assessment survey targeting institutional investors and analysts regarding Capcom&#8217;s management targets, strategies and IR activities, provided feedback to management<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div><!--\/\/tableStyle-->\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"voice01 w80 mT45\">\n<p class=\"title\">Outcomes from Our Perception Gap Study with Investors <span class=\"txt12\">(excerpts)<\/span><\/p>\n\n<dl class=\"mT15\">\n<dt><span class=\"ymarker\">Q.
