At the 99th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 18, 2015, a resolution was passed to set a fixed limit of 430 million yen or less for the basic remuneration of Directors. Details are as follows. The number of Directors subject to this basic remuneration is 12 or less, as stipulated in the Articles of Incorporation.

・Directors (excluding outside directors)
As directors assume the responsibility of improving corporate value, a certain amount will be paid according to the performance evaluation and position of each Director.

・Outside Directors
Outside directors are responsible for supervising the execution of duties, so a fixed amount is paid in advance.

2) Performance-linked compensation

At the 99th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on June 18, 2015, the Company resolved as follows. The number of Directors who are eligible for this performance-linked compensation is limited to 12 or less in accordance with Yaskawa’s Articles of Incorporation.

・Directors (excluding outside directors)
The maximum amount of performance-linked compensation shall be 1.0% or less of the consolidated net income of the fiscal year prior to the general meeting of shareholders elected or reappointed, in order to further clarify the link with consolidated performance. The amount of remuneration for each Director is calculated by taking into account the relative results to Yaskawa’s business performance from the standard deviation based on operating profit rate, operating profit growth rate and ROA of other companies in the same industry.

・Outside Directors
Performance-linked compensation is not provided.

3) Stock compensation (medium- to long-term compensation)

・Directors (excluding Outside Directors)
The evaluation indices used to calculate stock-based compensation in mid-term business plan “Realize 25” from FY2023 to FY2025 are as follows. The stock compensation is calculated by the performance factor according to the target value of each evaluation index.

・Outside Directors
Points will be awarded according to whether or not the company‘s performance targets set under mid-term business plan “Realize 25” has been achieved.

・Directors (excluding outside directors)
Performance-linked compensation (single-year compensation) and stock compensation (medium- to long-term compensation) are designed so that any improvement in performance is returned as compensation without any upper limit. For this reason, if the performance of the indicators used as the basis for calculation is good, the ratio of basic compensation is relatively small. On the other hand, if the performance of the indicators used as the basis for calculation is poor, the ratio of basic compensation is relatively large.

・Outside Directors
From the perspective of independence, performance-linked compensation will not be paid, and base compensation as well as non-performance-linked stock compensation only when performance targets are achieved will be paid. The proportion of outside directors’ remuneration shall be as follows.

(a)

In the event that stock compensation does not accrue
Basic compensation: Stock-based compensation = 100%: 0%

(b)

When stock compensation is generated (when stock compensation is maximum)
Basic compensation: Stock-based compensation = 75%: 25%

1) Basic compensation

The maximum amount of basic remuneration for Directors who are the members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee was fixed at a maximum of 150 million yen per year and resolved at the 104 th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on May 27, 2020. The number of Audit and Supervisory Committee Members subject to this basic remuneration shall be six or less pursuant to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of Yaskawa.

2) Stock compensation

Points will be awarded according to whether or not the company‘s performance targets set under mid-term business plan “Realize 25” has been achieved.

The maximum amount of total remuneration for Directors (excluding directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members.

With regard to the stock compensation system for Directors and Audit and Supervisory Committee Members, shares are scheduled to be paid to Eligible Directors upon retirement in accordance with the Officers’ Share Benefit Rules.
