Reason for selection
ITOCHU appointed Mr. Ishizuka as an Outside Director because it expects him to monitor and supervise ITOCHU's management from an independent perspective, drawing on his extensive insight into corporate management and the retail industry gained through his experience as President and Chairman of Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings Ltd. and as Vice Chair of Keidanren (Japan Business Federation). Mr. Ishizuka satisfies the independence standards prescribed by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and ITOCHU's own Independence Criteria. Accordingly, ITOCHU believes that he is unlikely to have conflicts of interest with general shareholders and has designated him as an independent officer.
