Policy

The Sanrio Board of Directors has established the following policies for determining the details of remuneration for individual directors.

  1. Basic Policy
    The Company's basic policy is to maintain a remuneration structure that is linked to shareholder interests so that it functions as a sufficient incentive to sustainably improve corporate value, and to set the remuneration of individual directors at an appropriate level based on their individual job responsibilities. Specifically, executive director remuneration shall consist of fixed basic remuneration, special bonuses, and stock-based remuneration, and outside directors with supervisory function duties shall receive only basic remuneration.
  2. Policy for Determining Individual Basic Remuneration
    The basic remuneration of Company directors shall be a fixed monthly remuneration and determined in accordance with the position, responsibilities, and length of service along with an overall consideration of the standards of other companies, the Company's performance, and the level of employee salaries.
  3. Policy for determining the content and calculating the amount or number of non-monetary remuneration
    Non-monetary remuneration shall be granted in restricted stock, and the number of restricted shares provided as part of remuneration shall be determined according to the position.
  4. Matters Concerning the Determination of Individual Remuneration for Directors
    The amount of remuneration for each individual shall be determined by the president and CEO Tomokuni Tsuji in consultation with the officer in charge of general affairs in accordance with the policy resolved by the Board of Directors. The content of that authority is to evaluate and distribute bonuses based on the amount of an individual director's basic remuneration and the performance of the business for which each director is responsible. To ensure that authority is properly exercised by the President and CEO, the Nomination and Remuneration Advisory Committee shall be consulted for its report, and the President and CEO, who has been delegated the above authority, shall make decisions in accordance with the content of such report. With regard to stock-based remuneration, the Board of Directors shall determine the number of shares to be allocated to individual directors based on the report of the Nomination and Remuneration Advisory Committee.
    Remuneration for Board of Auditors members shall consist of fixed remuneration only, and the amount of individual remuneration shall be determined after discussing the remuneration allocation proposal presented by the president and CEO at a meeting of the Board of Auditors.
