To Our Shareholders
Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Ltd. will hold its 16th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on June 24, 2024. In delivering this notice of convocation, I would like to extend a cordial greeting to shareholders.
Fiscal 2023 was a year of a leap and achievement of a milestone for the Isetan Mitsukoshi Group. The global spread of COVID-19 settled down in some degree and Japan saw a full-fledged recovery in traveling to and from overseas. Meanwhile, it has been also a year of mixture of both risks and opportunities that may affect the Company, including a rise in geopolitical risks, further weakening of the yen, and soaring prices of items and goods.
In this environment, as a result of steadily promoting the Medium-Term Management Plan (Fiscal 2022-Fiscal 2024), we achieved the highest ever operating income since the merger, overachieving the initial target. In terms of dividend, in light of the stable profit, financial conditions and other factors, we proposed a year-end dividend higher than the initial forecast, following the increase in the interim period.
Toward achieving the long-term vision, the Group will continue making concerted efforts for transforming the business model and contributing to the realization of a sustainable society, thereby seeking to increase corporate value. We would appreciate our valued shareholders' continued patronage and support.
Toshiyuki Hosoya
Director, President and CEO

Reasons for selecting the candidate for Director and outline of expected role
The candidate has extensive business experience in the Group, including experience in sales sections such as ladies' fashion, jewelry, watches and medium- and small-store operations, and overseas postings, and also worked to formulate the Company's management strategy as General Manager of the Corporate Planning Division. In 2018, he served as President and CEO of Iwataya Mitsukoshi Ltd., where he made a great contribution to improving financial results. After being appointed President and CEO of the Company, he continued to show outstanding leadership, formulating a long-term vision and medium-term management plan and reorganizing the Group corporate philosophy. Through vigorously implementing such initiatives aimed at enhancing the corporate value, he realized in fiscal 2023 the highest ever operating income since the merger as the Group.
The Nominating Committee has renominated him as a candidate for Director because it expects him to contribute to further enhancing the corporate value of the Group toward embodying the long-term plan with an eye to the future, in addition to continuing to display leadership in pursuing the implementation and achievement of the medium-term management plan.
