Corporate Governance Structure

Terumo adopted the organizational design of a Company with Audit and Supervisory Committee, as described in the Companies Act of Japan, to achieve the following goals, further strengthen its corporate governance framework, and to enhance its medium- to long-term corporate value.

1. Strengthen audit and supervisory functions
   The members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee shall have voting rights in meetings of the Board of Directors.
2. Enhance transparency and objectivity in management
   By increasing the proportion of independent directors on the Board, transparency and objectivity in decision making will be enhanced at the Board level by reflecting opinions of the independent directors, which represent the perspective of shareholders and other stakeholders.
3. Expedite decision-making process
   By promoting the appropriate delegation of the Board’s authority by way of the executive officer system, Terumo will further expedite its decision-making process and business development through a shift toward a monitoring-based approach for the Board.
