Anritsu Company

Anritsu puts the utmost importance of corporate management on flexibility and swift response to changes in the business environment, enhancing competitiveness as a global corporation, and continuously improving corporate value. To achieve these goals, Anritsu is striving to build an environment and a framework for the effective functioning of corporate governance.

Anritsu is now working on the reinforcement of corporate governance from the following standpoints.

1. Enhancing management transparency
2. Disclosing appropriate and timely information
3. Reinforcing check and balance functions
4. Reinforcing management supervision functions

Anritsu upholds "sincerity, harmony, and enthusiasm" as the company philosophy to fulfill our social missions. With this philosophy in mind, we will continue to introduce appropriate and necessary measures in order to create a corporate culture that values rights and interests of all the stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, and employees of the company, and develop and strengthen the in-house governance system.

Anritsu's Governance Structure
Anritsu has introduced the Executive Officer System since 2000. The system entrusts executive officers with powers over business execution, thus allowing them to make faster decisions and moves on their businesses and defining their management responsibilities more clearly.

Important matters related to business execution are deliberated upon and resolved at the Management Strategy Conference to clarify the information sharing process on the decisions made. Matters to be resolved at Board of Directors are also discussed in advance at the Management Strategy Conference to enhance deliberation. The Management Strategy Conference is held once or twice each month. Five of the 13 executive officers are directors.

For internal audit, Anritsu has set up the Internal Auditing Center (consisting of three members as of March 31, 2007) to reinforce check and balance functions over business operations. In addition, departments and committees share functions, as needed, to strengthen company-wide auditing functions.

For example, the Security Trade Control Dept. performs daily export control monitoring.

Making a major contribution to the development of the Ubiquitous Network Society, Anritsu continues to provide Customer driven solutions & support in many areas including: Information network test & measurement for mobile & internet, RF&Microwave solutions, fiber-optic telecommunications and industrial solutions.

We do this by working closely with our customers to understand their needs, and using original & high level technologies, we provide not only the right solution, but the long term commitment and relationship to ensure our customers needs are fulfilled - for life.
