    Stock-based Compensation

    The Company operates a performance-based stock-linked compensation system, pursuant to the standards established by the shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting and the Compensation Committee. The Company initially determines, for each recipient, the maximum share amounts that can be granted under the system, and then determines the final share amounts based on an evaluation of the long-term performance indices over four years (including the current year). The compensation is then paid in cash, based on the final share amount and the share price at the time the compensation is paid. The long-term performance indices include relative shareholder return, common equity ratio, return on equity, profit for the period, cost-to-income ratio, non-performing loan ratio and individual performance evaluations. For further information, please refer to the notes to the financial statements.
