CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RMB Capital initiated a proxy solicitation on June 15, 2018 to vote for the Item 4 (Appoint Shareholder Director Nominee Hosomizu, Masakazu) at the 26th Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of Faith, Inc. (4295 JP) scheduled on June 28, 2018.
As in our press release on June 5, 2018, RMB proposed to nominate Masakazu Hosomizu, a partner of RMB, as an outside director of Faith (a) to monitor the incumbent executive team from the viewpoint of minority shareholders, and (b) to enhance the corporate governance system at Faith.
However, the board of directors at Faith refused RMB’s proposal without going through proper processes, such as interviewing the nominee, and opposed RMB’s proposal without any logical reason in its proxy letter to the shareholders. Given the situation, RMB decided to initiate proxy solicitation to support our board nominee. RMB intends to be a long-term shareholder of Faith to improve the firm’s corporate governance regardless of the outcome of the shareholders’ meeting.
