CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RMB Capital ("RMB"), a Chicago-based independent investment advisory firm and a long-term shareholder of Faith Ltd. (4295 JP, "Faith") that owns approximately 10% of the firm's total outstanding shares, demands that Faith's statutory auditors conduct an investigation of the company's recent rejection of an RMB shareholder proposal.
The Kyoto District Court ("the Court") confirmed the legitimacy of RMB's shareholder proposal to spin-off Nippon Columbia ("the Proposal") at the 29th annual general shareholders' meeting at Faith, scheduled for June 2021, in its ruling issued on June 7th, 2021.
However, Faith's board asserts it "does not accept the ruling of the Court" without providing any further reasoning in its press release on June 11th, 2021 and continues to damage RMB's shareholder rights. While established precedents, including the decision by the Court, as well as widely accepted academic theory, accept a flexible scope of shareholder proposals, RMB believes Faith's ignorance of shareholder rights poses a serious threat to the public listing system of companies in Japan, and even to capitalism in the country itself.
