(“Oasis”) is the manager to funds that beneficially own over 16.5% of elevator manufacturer and servicing company Fujitec Co., Ltd. (6406 JT) (“Fujitec” or the “Company”).\n\nOn January 20, Fujitec’s Board of Directors released a response to Oasis’s shareholder proposals, including to Oasis’s independent director nominees for the upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) to take place on February 24. The Fujitec response fails to address any of the important governance concerns raised by Oasis, including questions about the responsibilities of the current independent directors, who supported the appointment of Mr. Uchiyama to a newly-created unelected “Chairman of the Company” position, against the will of the majority of shareholders who had voted against his reelection as director and Chairman of the Board.\n\nInstead, Fujitec’s Board resorted to engaging in disgraceful personal attacks on Oasis’s independent director nominees. This is an unacceptable, and unprecedented, move by a listed company in Japan, and further underscores the serious corporate governance issues that plague Fujitec.\n\nThe Oasis nominee director candidates -- who are entirely independent of Oasis -- are committed to improving the Company and its governance. Fujitec’s public defamation further highlights the poor state of governance – and business ethics -- among the Company’s Board of Directors and legal advisors.\n\nFujitec’s actions are unacceptable, and Fujitec’s Board of Directors must be held accountable. Failure to do so will set a dangerous precedent for governance in Japan, and will discourage future potential independent directors from standing for election and working to improve governance at Japanese companies.\n\nIn the coming weeks, Oasis will issue a full refutation and response to Fujitec’s unfounded accusations, personal attacks, and misleading disclosures.\n\nWe also invite Fujitec shareholders to meet Oasis’s highly qualified nominee directors by contacting Oasis at [email protected]. It is crucial that minority shareholders are given the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding the items and proposals up for election at the upcoming EGM, and be able to support these efforts to improve governance at the company. We urge Fujitec’s shareholders to take action, and to hold the Board accountable for their actions, both historical as well as these recent ethical lapses and misleading statements.\n\nFull details of Oasis’s proposals are available at www.protectfujitec.com.\n\nWe welcome all stakeholders to contact Oasis at [email protected].\n\n***\n\nAbout Oasis\n\nOasis Management Company Ltd. manages private investment funds focused on opportunities in a wide array of asset classes across countries and sectors.
