Basic Policy on Corporate Governance

Since the Company engages in food-related businesses, public trust is a particularly important requirement. We believe that maintaining this trust is the foundation of Cookpad’s corporate value, and it is vital for us to establish a structure for timely and appropriate corporate governance to ensure management transparency and effectiveness at all times. We also believe that sustained enhancement of corporate value is another critical requirement in maintaining public trust. We decided that the most effective way of satisfying these two requirements at the same time is to establish a management structure enabling “separation of supervision and execution.” To this end, the Company has adopted the committee system as stipulated in the Companies Act, pursuant to a resolution of the General Shareholders Meeting of July 24, 2007. The Board of Directors, with the majority comprising outside directors, makes it possible to simultaneously realize “agility and flexibility in execution of duties” and “timely and appropriate supervision of the execution” by delegating substantial authority to executive officers and supervising their execution of duties from an independent position. By engaging in optimal decision-making under this structure, the Board ensures the appropriateness of management.
