KAO CORPORATION: REGARDING SHAREHOLDER STATEMENT

TOKYO, Dec 13 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Oasis Management Company Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Oasis Management”), an investment management firm and a shareholder of our company, released a statement regarding Director candidates to be proposed at our 119th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders.

Kao's Board of Directors and management team strive to increase shareholder value from a long-term perspective based on our business strategy. For the purpose of enhancing our corporate value, we are committed to engaging directly and constructively with all our stakeholders and welcome new perspectives to address challenges.

Kao is constantly evolving its selection process to ensure an optimal composition of the Board of Directors. This year, the Committee for Examination of Nominees for Directors and Audit & Supervisory Board Members spent more than six months discussing the matter before reaching a final decision, and the decision was made before Oasis Management proposed any director candidates.

The timing of the announcement of Director and Auditor candidates was set for December 2nd, the standard date for announcing Executive Officers, to clearly indicate that David Muenz, a Director also serving as an Executive Officer, is retiring from his Executive Officer role at the end of December while continuing as a Director until the General Meeting of Shareholders in March.
