We feel that diversity is the key to competitiveness, and hence our management team is comprised of various backgrounds with a wide age range of generation from 30s to 60s. In order to ensure an effective corporate governance system that draws on perspectives outside the company, we have appointed five outside directors (including the Audit and Supervisory Committee Members) to offer objective and neutral advice to the company directors and to monitor business execution. |

Lifenet has yet to determine its specific dividend policies and dates for the start of distributing retained earnings as dividends as we still record cumulative loss and will be prioritizing strengthening our growth base to increase mid to long term profitability. In the future, we will continue to target business expansion and profit generation by implementing measures to increase recognition of the Company, developing new products and services, and effectively utilizing financing for investment in systems and other aspects of the business. In addition to this, we will consider implementing measures to provide shareholder return that include payment of dividends from future retained earnings. Lifenet also states in its Articles of Incorporation that a decision on the distribution of retained earnings can be made by a resolution of the Board of Directors, except as otherwise determined by law. From fiscal 2023 ending March 31, 2024, we voluntarily adopt IFRS in its consolidated financial statements, however, distribution of retained earnings is based on non-consolidated financial statements in accordance with Japanese GAAP.

Before launching the company in May 2008, founder Haruaki Deguchi and Daisuke Iwase had endless discussions over how and what they wanted the company to look like. The Lifenet Manifesto arose from these discussions, and served as an important point of reference for all our officers and employees during our first ten years of operations.
On the cusp of our second decade, we seized the opportunity to revisit our manifesto and fine-tune it for the challenges we perceive ahead.
In line with our new manifesto, we will set out every day to deliver even better products and services for our customers.
