Corporate Governance
Compensation Policy and the Amount of Compensation
(Source: Corporate Governance Report (July 6, 2023))
Compensation Policy
The Compensation Committee establishes compensation policy for the
compensation of each Director and/or Executive Officer as follows:
Since the main responsibility of Directors is to supervise the
execution of the overall Group’s business and to increase corporate
value, “Compensation for Directors” is determined at an adequate level
to secure highly competent personnel and ensure effective work of the
supervisory function, and increasing corporate value from a medium-to
long-term perspective.
Since the responsibility of Executive Officers is to increase
corporate value in their capacity as executives responsible for
companies or divisions within the Group, “Compensation for Executive
Officers” is divided into the fixed compensation and the
performance-linked compensation, and deter-mined at an adequate level
to secure highly competent personnel and ensure the effectiveness of
their compensation package as an incentive to improve business
performance.
a. Compensation for Directors
- Directors are paid the Base salary (fixed amount) and the Committee Allowance (fixed amount) in accordance with the scope of their responsibilities. If multiple committees concurrently serve, the applicable Committee Allowances will be added up and paid. Directors who concurrently hold offices as an Executive Officer are paid only the compensation for Executive Officers specified in b. below and not paid compensation for Directors.
- The Base Salary and the Committee Allowance are paid by cash and shares of the Company at a prescribed rate.
- When traveling to attend a Meeting of the Board of Directors, Executive Session of the Board, or a Committee held in a non-resident country, the Attendance Allowance is paid according to the actual travel record.
- With regard to compensation paid by stock that is paid in the form of the Company’s stock, mechanisms such as restricted stocks with transfer restrictions until retirement.
b. Compensation for Executive Officers
- Compensation for Executive Officers consists of Base salary (fixed amount), determined according to rank, and performance-linked compensation.
- Performance-linked compensation is determined in accordance with the performance of the Company as a whole and managed business and Medium-to Long-Term Management Indicators under the charge of the Executive Officers during the fiscal year.
- The Base Salary and the Performance-linked compensation are paid by cash and shares of the Company at a prescribed rate.
- With regard to compensation paid by stock that is paid in the form of the Company’s stock, mechanisms such as restricted stocks with transfer restrictions until retirement are used to secure effectiveness as an incentive for medium- to long-term improvement of business performance.
<Performance-linked Compensation>
Performance-linked compensation is a monetary compensation claim to determine the total amount to be paid in such a way as to function as an incentive to increase our corporate value, and to allocate a certain percentage in accordance with the position as a monetary compensation claim. The monetary compensation claim is invested in kind by the Company as an investment property. In addition to having the executive officers hold our common stock, the remaining percentage of the total amount paid is paid in cash.
Performance-linked compensation is set at a minimum of ¥0, and payment amounts will change due to the degree of achievement of certain performance targets, at a level that takes into account the payment results at peer companies.
The following table shows the methods used to determine the indicators and amounts related to performance-linked compensation.
Total amount paid | = | (a) | Short-term incentive compensation |
+ | (b) | Long-term incentive compensation |
Method of determining (a)
The amount in (a) is determined by adding or subtracting an amount
ranging from the individual assessment of +/-25% to the amount
calculated by multiplying the multiplication rate by position based on
(i) the degree of achievement of the current fiscal year's EBITDA
against our managerial accounting objectives and (ii) the degree of
achievement of the current fiscal year's ROIC against our managerial
accounting objectives, respectively, by the level of the amount by
position.
With regard to (i) EBITDA, for executive officers in charge of
individual business divisions, the amount is calculated by adding up
half of the amount calculated based on indicators for the company as a
whole and the business division for which he or she is responsible,
and for other executive officers, the amount is calculated based on
indicators for the company as a whole. With regard to (ii) ROIC, for
all executive officers, the amount is calculated based on indicators
for the company as a whole.
Method of determining (b)
The amount in (b) is calculated by multiplying the multiplication rate by position according to the results of relative TSR (total shareholder return) for 3 years by the monetary level for each position. The 3-year relative TSR calculation method is as follows:
3-year relative TSR | = | our 3-year TSR | - | 3-year capitalization-weighted average TSR of the peer group |
The peer group consist of 11 companies that are similar to our business lineup and company size etc. Evaluation indicators were selected from the viewpoint of contributing to awareness of the enhancement of long-term corporate value and shareholder value.
Our 3-year TSR is calculated as follows:
Total shareholder return | = | (((1 + R(c))×P(c)/P(o))-1)×100 |
R(c) | = | (1+D(1)/P(1))×(1+D(2)/P(2))×(1+D(3)/P(3))×(Omission)×(1+D(n)/P(n))-1 |
D(1) | = | First dividend amount in each performance period |
D(2) | = | Second dividend amount in each performance period |
D(3) | = | Third dividend in each performance period |
(Omission) | ||
D(n) | = | Dividend amount at the n times in each performance period |
P(1) | = | Stock price on the ex-dividend date of the first dividend in the first year of each performance period |
P(2) | = | Stock price on the ex-dividend date of the second dividend in the first year of each performance period |
P(3) | = | Stock price on the ex-dividend date of the first dividend in the second year of each performance period |
P(n) | = | Stock price on the ex-dividend date of the dividend at n times in each performance period |
P(c) | = | Stock price at the end of each calculation period |
P(o) | = | Stock price at the beginning of each calculation period |
The ratio of stocks and cash paid for performance-linked compensation
are 60% for stocks and 40% for cash (same ratio from Vice President to
President and CEO). However, due to rounding, there may not be an
exact match.
The percentage of compensation paid, (other than performance-linked
compensation) and performance-linked compensation, is not determined
in advance and is subject to fluctuation based on performance results
in the above decision-making method. Accordingly, the Company has not
established a policy regarding the determination of such compensation.
c. Compensation standards
Compensation standards are determined at suitable levels as a global company, with the aim of securing highly competent management personnel suitable for managing Toshiba which is entering a period of change. The compensation standards of other listed companies and payroll and benefits are considered when determining the Company’s compensation standards of management.
Compensation pertaining to the above is set as follows:
Director | Base salary + Committee Allowance + Allowance for travel to non-resident countries |
---|---|
Executive officer | Base salary + Performance-linked compensation (shares and cash) |

Targets and Results for Incentive Compensation Indicators for the Latest Fiscal Year
Short-term Incentive Compensation
Targets and results for short-term incentive compensation indicators
for the latest fiscal year are as follows.
The targets are based on the FY2021 figures planned in the Toshiba
Next Plan. In addition, individual assessment are decided by the
Compensation Committee, comprehensively considering non-financial
evaluations such as management initiatives and special
contributions.
Evaluation type | Indicator of performance | Evaluation Percentage | Targets | Results | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Operating cash flow | 50% | Company as a whole | 205.0 billion yen | Company as a whole | 249.2 billion yen | |
Managed business | Managerial accounting targets | Managed business | Managerial accounting actual results |
Long-term Incentive Compensation
The index of long-term incentive compensation is a relative evaluation of the Company’s TSR performance against that of its peer groups over 3 years. There are no targeted figures for a relative evaluation of the Company’s TSR performance over 3 years.
The results of indicators related to the long-term incentive compensation, for which payment amounts have been fixed for the latest fiscal year, are as follows:
Evaluation type | Indicator of performance | Calculation period | Results | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Long-term incentive compensation | 3-year relative TSR | FY2019 - FY2021 |
The Company’s 3-year TSR | 42.22% |
Market capitalization weighted average TSR of peers over 3 years | 90.66% |
- * The formula shown in the Compensation Policy part is used to calculate performance-linked compensation under the executive officer compensation system. The peer group consists of 7 domestic and overseas companies with an average market capitalization of at least ¥1 billion for companies that are similar to our business portfolio or listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, considering the perspective of shareholders.
Details of Non-monetary Compensation
The Company grants its Executive Officers stock compensation as fixed compensation and stock compensation as performance-linked compensation In order to share values with shareholders, and to effectively incentivize to maximize mid- to long-term corporate value. Some Directors of the Company (Chairman, Director and Outside Directors) are granted stock compensation as fixed compensation. The Company will issue new shares or dispose of treasury stock under this system in exchange for making the person who are eligible for stock compensation invest in kind the monetary compensation claims provided by the Company as investment assets.
When issuing new shares or disposing of treasury stocks, the Company
enters into share allotment agreements with grantees (excluding
those who have already retired at the time when the shares are
granted (hereinafter referred to as retirees)) that provide for
restrictions on the transfer of our granted shares.
In addition, while no transfer restrictions are included in the
allotment agreements that the Company concludes with the retirees,
if it is subsequently found that certain events occurred during the
prescribed period, such as violations of laws or regulations by
retirees, and where the Company deems it appropriate, the retirees
shall immediately return the said stock to the Company, without
compensation.
