乾汽船の役員報酬総額の引下げの議案を否決する決議の無効確認を求める訴えを提起

・背景
アルファレオホールディングス合同会社（以下、「当社」）は会社法の規定に基づき乾汽船に対し株主総会招集を請求し、2019年11月4日に臨時株主総会（以下、「本臨時総会」）が開催されました。本臨時株主総会においては、乾汽船の委任状勧誘により180名の株主が乾汽船に委任状を提出しておりましたが、180名から委任を受けたのは乾汽船の社員である従業員株主1名でした。本臨時総会での採決は投票用紙を用いた投票により行われましたが、当該従業員株主は、本臨時総会が開始する前に、180名全員の投票用紙への賛否の記入を終えていました。投票用紙への記入は、採決の宣言後に行われるものですので、当該従業員株主による投票は無効と考えられます。

・議案を否決する旨の決議の無効確認を提起した理由
乾汽船は、本臨時総会の総会検査役に対して、委任状の数が１８０枚にも上ったため、事前に記入せざるを得なかったと述べています。しかし、本件では、単に投票時間を長く設定すれば足りたものであるのに、事前に社員株主へ投票用紙を渡し、記入させたことは、株主平等原則に違反すると当社は考えます。これらの状況を踏まえ、当社は、本臨時株主総会における決議方法が法令に違反し、又は著しく不公正であった旨を主張し、本件株主総会における本臨時株主総会決議の無効の確認を求める訴えを2020年2月3日に提起しました。

Filing action to confirm INVALIDITY of the resolution to disapprove the agenda to reduce the upper limit of remuneration for directors of Inui Global Logistics 

  (TSE First Section, Securities Code: 9308)

Alphaleo Holdings GK has filed an action to confirm invalidity of the resolution to disapprove the agenda to reduce the upper limit (annual amount) of remuneration for directors of Inui Global Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Inui GLC”)  by the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of Inui GLC held on November 4, 2019.

 
・Background
    Alphaleo Holdings GK (the “Company”), in accordance with the Company Act of Japan, requested a general meeting of shareholders against Inui GLC and the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “EGM”) was held on November 4, 2019.  With respect to this extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, 180 shareholders submitted their proxy to Inui GLC via solicitation from Inui GLC. Only one employed shareholder of Inui GLC received all of the 180 proxies.  The voting at the extraordinary general meeting was cast by written ballots; however, the said employed shareholder had already completed filling out all of the 180 ballots before the EGM had commenced.  Any writing on the ballot is to be made after the declaration of the voting.  Hence, any voting made by the said employed shareholder is considered to be invalid.

・Reason to file an action to confirm Invalidity of resolution to disapprove the agenda
     Inui GLC has explained to the Inspector of the EGM that, since the number of proxy had accumulated to 180, Inui GLC had no other option but to fill in the voting ballots beforehand.  However, in this case, a mere extension of the voting time limit was an option, and by giving the voting ballots to the employed shareholders beforehand in order for them to fill in their votes, the Company believes Inui GLC’s action constituted violation of the equality of shareholders’ right.  Based on these situations, the Company deems that the process of resolution to reject the agenda was in violation of the lawful process, and argues the significant injustice and; therefore, has filed the action on February 3, 2020 to seek the invalidity of the resolution to rejection  to disapprove the agenda to reduce the upper limit (annual amount) of remuneration for directors of Inui GlC.
 

If any new matters arise in connection to this action and that needs to be disclosed, we  will post hem on the website of Alphaleo Holdings GK (https://www.alphaleo-hd.jp/)
