NOTICE OF CHANGE IN REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTORS
Ito-Yokado Co., Ltd. (the "Company") hereby announces that at the meeting
of the Board of Directors held on April 10, 2003, the Company resolved a change
in Representative Directors as stated below.
Particulars
1. REASONS FOR THE CHANGE IN REPRESENTATIVE DIRECTORS
The recent operating environment has been changing dramatically, and in
accordance with the management philosophy of the IY Group, the Company strives
to become a reliable corporation trusted by customers, stockholders, suppliers,
and employees alike. To enhance the satisfaction of all of stakeholders, the
Company considers it necessary to further increase the speed of the
decision-making.
To that end, the Chairman and Representative Director (C.E.O.) and
President and Representative Director (C.O.O.) have been positioned as the
leaders of the management, and the Company has introduced an executive officer
system to strengthen management execution. As a result, the Company has built an
environment in which executive officers can concentrate on their respective
operational activities and challenge management reforms by heightening
motivation.
In addition, the Company will change the term of office of Directors from
two years to one year. This change will enable the Company to clarify where the
responsibility for the management exists among Directors and to build a
management system that can respond flexibly and swiftly in this era of drastic
changes.
