Generally, a Meeting resolution shall be passed by a majority vote of the shareholders present at the Meeting and having voted. As for Agenda Item 8 regarding consideration and determination of remuneration and benefits for the Company's Board of Directors for 2023, a Meeting resolution shall be passed by at least two-thirds of the total votes of the shareholders present at the Meeting.
