Westlaw Japan K.K. (Minato Ward, Tokyo, Representative Director: Young Sun Bang) will cosponsor a premium online seminar titled “Overview of the March 2021 Amended Companies Act and Measures to Take” with Anderson Mori & Tomotsune on Tuesday, May 18.
This second major amendment of the Companies Act, of which the majority came into effect on March 1 this year, comes with various changes that may affect our business in many aspects. Changes include: 1) related to board directors—revision of regulations on director renumeration (policy on deciding director renumeration, revisions related to restricted stock, disclosure of information on renumeration, etc.), establishment of regulations on company indemnification and D&O Insurance, 2) related to shareholders’ meetings—measures to prevent abuses of shareholders’ rights to propose, streamlined system to provide shareholders’ meetings materials in electronic format, etc. 3) related to corporate governance—obligation for listed companies to appoint an outside director, 4) establishment of the Share Delivery system as a new method of M&A.
In this seminar, we will cover the key points that need to be addressed immediately and help you achieve a deeper understanding of the amendments.
We are confident that this seminar will be a great opportunity for you to organize the key points on the Amended Companies Act. We look forward to your participation.
