Communication with Shareholders
Conduct for General Meeting of Shareholders
The General Meeting of Shareholders: Convenient and Easy to understand
We make every effort to improve the environment so that shareholders can take part in our ordinary general meeting by holding it on a date at the end of June each year that avoids the most popular dates on which other companies' meetings are held. We held our ninth ordinary general meeting of shareholders at the Tokyo International Forum on June 21, 2011, and 4,501 shareholders attended. Using visuals projected on to a large screen, we presented a report that was designed to explain our business in an easy to understand format. We also endeavored to improve communications with our shareholders by encouraging a lively question and answer session on the meeting's agenda items and matters relating to Mizuho's management. We posted the report on our business operations given at the meeting and a message from the President & CEO on our website for about three months following the meeting.
The Convocation Notice of the meeting contained more detail and we mailed it out earlier to give shareholders more time to digest its contents. We also posted it on our website in both Japanese and English at the same time as the mailing.
The green electricity of the wind power generation business covered all electricity (10,998 kilowatt–hours) used at the ninth ordinary general meeting of shareholders, which is deemed to have reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 3.6 tons.
