Dialogue with Shareholders / Investors

Open General Meeting of Shareholders

NTN implements various measures to facilitate the smooth exercise of voting rights, including putting particular effort into making it easy for all shareholders to participate in the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Early sending of the notice of the General Meeting of Shareholders, etc.

We strive to ensure early disclosure of information by posting the Notice of General Meeting of Shareholders on our website and sending out Notice letters earlier than the statutory deadline. The English translation (summary) of the Notice is also published on the website to enhance accessibility for foreign shareholders.

Efforts included within the notice of General Meeting of Shareholders

To facilitate greater understanding among shareholders, we publish a list of candidates in the proposal for the selection of officers, along with their photographs, skill matrices showing their main areas of experience, attendance rate at the Board of Directors’ and other meetings, years in their position, and other information.

Scheduling the General Meeting of Shareholders to avoid overlap with “peak days”

To encourage more shareholders to attend the General Meeting of Shareholders, we avoid so-called “peak days” on which many companies hold their meetings and instead choose a date with consideration for its relationship with settlement of accounts, audit schedule, and other factors.

Online exercise of voting rights

Voting rights may be exercised beforehand by postal mail as well as via the Internet up until the end of business hours (17:25) on the day before the General Meeting of Shareholders. In addition, institutional investors participate in the electronic voting system platform operated by ICJ, Inc.

Video of the General Meeting of Shareholders

Audio and video of the General Meeting of Shareholders are posted on our website at a later date so that shareholders can view a portion of the meeting.

Communication with shareholders and investors

We strive to develop the company and proactively engage in dialogue with shareholders/investors and disclose information. When disclosing information, we endeavor to promptly and fairly disclose information that we believe would be useful to shareholders/investors, even if the information does not fall under any laws or regulations.

Dialogue with shareholders and investors

General Meetings of Shareholders, quarterly financial results, and Medium-term Management Plan briefings provide valuable opportunities for dialogue with shareholders/investors, and the CEO and other top management actively participate in these opportunities. In addition to top management on the executive side, the Chair of the Board of Directors, who is the top supervisory figure and an Outside Director, also engages in direct dialogue with shareholders and investors.
Going forward, we will continue to create opportunities to carefully communicate with shareholders/investors through explanations of our management policies, business strategies, and more, so that they can evaluate and understand our business and corporate value.

Dialogue between institutional investors and Outside Directors

On January 20, 2026, we held a dialogue session between institutional investors and our Outside Directors, with 22 institutional investors and securities company analysts in attendance. NTN has held ESG briefings every year since 2018, ensuring repeated dialogue between Outside Directors and institutional investors. However, expectations and demand for dialogue with Outside Directors who oversee management from the capital markets have grown, so we organized this new dialogue session with the aim of deepening participants’ understanding of how we are strengthening our governance and enhancing our corporate value.
The participants were invited to submit questions addressed to the Outside Directors beforehand, and on the day of the dialogue, answers were provided by Director Komatsu, who served as Chair of the Board of Directors at the time (January 2026); Director Murakoshi, Chair of the Nominating Committee; Director Toshita, Chair of the Compensation Committee; and Director Kitani, Chair of the Audit Committee. In addition to the pre-submitted questions, participants raised further questions during the session, deepening discussions with investors on a wide range of topics including management, governance, and finance, and enabling constructive dialogue.
