1. Reasons for Amendments
Under the current Articles of Incorporation the Board of Directors is required to elect a Chairman and a President, and the Chairman must convene general meetings of shareholders and act as chairman thereat, unless unable to act in those capacities.
To construct a management structure that keeps abreast of changes in the business environment, Renesas Electronics will propose to amend the relevant sections of the current Articles of Incorporation to allow a Representative Director previously determined by the Board of Directors to serve as convener and chairman of the general meetings of shareholders.
