Appointment of Directors and Corporate Auditors

Composition of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors consists of three directors (including one outside director) and holds both regular monthly meetings and, when necessary, extraordinary meetings. As the company's managerial decision-making body, the Board of Directors rules on important matters in accordance with laws and regulations, its own set of regulations, and Macbee's Articles of Incorporation. At the same time, the Board of Directors supervises the execution of duties performed by each director.

Composition of Board of Corporate Auditors

Our Board of Corporate Auditors consists of one full-time and two part-time corporate auditors (including two outside corporate auditors) and holds both regular monthly meetings and, when necessary, extraordinary meetings. During meetings of the board, corporate auditors share information regarding important matters such as audit planning and implementation.
In addition to attending pivotal meetings of the Board of Directors and other bodies, our corporate auditors ensure proper monitoring of managerial processes in accordance with auditing plans by inspecting important documents (approval documents, etc.) and questioning officers and employees as appropriate. Furthermore, our corporate auditors work closely with internal audit staff and independent auditors to improve audit effectiveness and efficiency.
