Executive Remuneration
To ensure the transparency and fairness in executive compensation systems and levels, the Company has established a Remuneration Advisory Committee to conduct deliberations and provide advice to the Board of Directors in accordance with the consultation thereof. Compensation (base salary, bonus, stock compensation) for each director is decided at the Board of Directors meeting based on the advice of the Compensation Advisory Committee.
Types and Methods for Determining Remuneration


Reference: Performance-linked stock compensation and stock price-linked bonuses
Performance-linked stock compensation was introduced from 2015 for the compensation of directors engaged in business execution in order to increase the willingness to contribute to medium- to long-term performance improvement and corporate value improvement.
In addition, from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Company introduced "stock price-linked bonuses" with the aim of providing a strong incentive to achieve medium-term management plan targets, and increasing the linkage between remuneration for Directors and the stock price. In this system, "EPS [1] growth rate," which was set as a target figure for the medium-term management plan, and "stock price change rate," which is directly linked to changes in share price, are used as performance indicators.

As the outside director chairing the Remuneration Advisory Committee, I submit this report.
The committee deliberates general compensation for directors and Audit & Supervisory Board members. In the fi scal year ended March 31, 2020, the Remuneration Advisory Committee met three times and conducted deliberations related to compensation systems for directors suited to KDDI from various perspectives. As a result, we were able to propose the introduction of stock price-linked bonuses. A general outline of that debate follows.
1. Level of compensation for KDDI's directors
First, regarding the level of compensation for KDDI's directors, we assessed whether it was commensurate with the expectations and responsibilities of directors and whether it was fair in comparison with the benchmark group of companies while referencing objective survey data from external specialist organizations. We also deliberated about the appropriate level. As a result, based mainly on comparisons with other companies of similar size and in the same industry in Japan, we advised that compensation be revised to a composition that is appropriate for the work duties of directors who are responsible for executing business in response to a mandate from shareholders.
2. Composition of compensation for KDDI's directors and selection of KPIs
Compensation for KDDI's directors had been composed of basic compensation, performance-linked bonuses, and performance-linked stock compensation. When revising the composition, we considered it from the direction of introducing a new compensation system that is more directly linked to the stock price and enhancement of medium-to long-term corporate value.
As a result, we advised adopting the following two KPIs.
This is how we introduced stock price-linked bonuses with the aim of strongly motivating achievement of the medium-term management plan goals and enhancing the connection between stock price and compensation for directors.
I believe the mission of this committee is to consider forms of compensation that are connected with sustainably enhancing corporate value over the medium to long term. We will continue to contribute to the sustainable growth of the KDDI Group.
