Convenient General Stockholders Meetings
For the convenience of its stockholders, Toray Industries avoids holding its general meeting of stockholders on a date when many other companies in Japan hold their meetings. Toray Industries implemented strict COVID-19 prevention measures for the general meeting of stockholders it held on June 23, 2020. Every year, the general stockholders’ meeting notice and agenda are sent approximately three weeks in advance of the meeting to give stockholders extra time to review the agenda items. The meeting notice is also posted in both Japanese and English on the corporate website. Voting enhancements include smartphone-based electronic proxy voting and an electronic voting platform for institutional investors.
