Executive Personnel Committee Yamaha Motor established the Executive Personnel Committee as a voluntary advisory body concerning the nomination and remuneration of members of the Board of Directors in order to improve the transparency and appropriateness of executive appointments and dismissals and the determi-nation of their remuneration, among other objectives. Matters deliberated by the Executive Personnel Committee are reported to the Board of Directors. Furthermore, to ensure the transparency and effectiveness of the deliberation process—the primary purpose for establishing the committee—as well as the appropriateness of matters reported to the Board of Directors, the Executive Personnel Committee is composed of a majority of outside directors and meets at least six times a year, in principle.In its role related to nominations, the committee deliberates on the appointment and dismissal of the chief executive officer (CEO), directors, Audit & Supervisory Board members, and executive officers, as well as on the selection of candidates for such senior management positions and their development plans, all while confirming future management Directors and the Board of Directors The Board of Directors consists of 10 directors (including four outside directors). In principle, the Board of Directors meets monthly, and addi-tionally from time to time as necessary. The chairman of the Board of Directors is not in charge of any specific field and not involved in busi-ness execution.On the basis of fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders, directors collect adequate information, understand relevant laws and regulations and other necessary rules, actively express opinions, and discuss and make decisions at Board of Directors meetings, Management Discussion meetings, and other important meetings in order to obtain sufficient knowledge on viewpoints and standpoints of various stakeholders, including shareholders, and to achieve sustainable growth and medium- to long-term enhancement of corporate value. In fiscal 2020, Management Discussion meetings were held seven times, and the Executive Discussion meeting was held once.Yamaha Motor’s Standards for IndependenceIn addition to the required standards for independence established by Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc., the Company has stipulated its own Standards for Selecting Independent Outside Directors / Outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members to objectively assess the independence of its outside directors and outside Audit & Supervisory Board members.
