Outside Director Selection and Attendance (FY2018)

Name	Reason of Selection	Attendance
Koichi Nakamura	Mr. Koichi Nakamura accumulated years of experience in general management at Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd. Since being appointed as an outside director in December 2016, he has provided valuable advice as an outside director on matters such as strengthening human resources and organizational skills. Based on abundant experience and knowledge built up over the years, his advice is grounded in a firm understanding of CyberAgent's management, corporate value, and corporate culture that considers human resources our assets. To date, based on abundant experience and from an independent, objective standpoint, he has on many occasions provided practical comments and advice on improving and strengthening corporate governance and internal control. In view of the fact that the Board of Directors can expect to continue receiving appropriate advice from him, we have determined he is capable of appropriately performing the duties expected of an independent director. CyberAgent has determined that Mr. Nakamura meets the qualifications of an independent director as set by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and poses no risk in terms of conflict of interest with ordinary shareholders, and has thereby appointed him as a Independent Outside Director.

Masao Horiuchi	Mr. Masao Horiuchi was appointed as an Outside Auditor of CyberAgent in 1998. After working for many years in charge of internal control and the administrative department of USEN-NEXT HOLDINGS, he now draws on this abundant experience to provide valuable advice on internal control at CyberAgent. Based on extensive experience and knowledge in finance, accounting, and taxation as a tax accountant, Mr. Horiuchi contributes to further strengthening CyberAgent's corporate governance by objectively monitoring the company's management and providing useful advice. Based on a deep understanding of our corporate group's vision and business activities, he also anticipates potential risks before they occur, exchanges unreserved opinions with the management team, and when necessary, openly gives hard-hitting opinions. Because of these traits, we consider him qualified to serve as an independent outside director, which requires a high level of impartiality. CyberAgent has determined that Mr. Numata meets the qualifications of an independent director as set by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and poses no risk in terms of conflict of interest with ordinary shareholders, and has thereby appointed him as a Independent Outside Director.

Isao Numata	Mr. Isao Numata was appointed as an outside auditor in 2000. After working at Daiwa Securities for 12 years, he utilized the knowledge he built up there to establish a consulting firm mainly engaged in IPO Consulting. Based on extensive experience and knowledge of management and stock markets which he built up as a business operator, Mr. Numata contributes to further strengthening CyberAgent's corporate governance by objectively monitoring the company's management, providing useful advice, enhancing auditing capabilities in overall business implementation, and ensuring transparency in business management. Mr. Numata also worked from April 1988 to June 2000 at Daiwa securities (currently Daiwa Securities Group headquarters), which is CyberAgent's lead underwriter. It should be noted, however, that he has never held a key position concerning the administration of CyberAgent, and more than 18 years has passed since he left that company. He also had never had any special business relationship with the company after leaving it. Based on this history, we consider him to have more than adequate impartiality concerning CyberAgent. CyberAgent has determined that Mr. Numata meets the qualifications of an independent director as set by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and poses no risk in terms of conflict of interest with ordinary shareholders, and has thereby appointed him as a Independent Outside Director.

Analysis and Evaluation of Board of Director Effectiveness

A questionnaire on effectiveness of the Board of Directors was conducted on September 27, 2018, which evaluated directors (including those currently serving as Audit and Supervisory Committee Members).
With regard to the number of times the Board of Directors convened as well as scope, quantity and content of recommendations presented, the questionnaire found that there were no indications of problems and sufficient time was set aside for deliberation. The questionnaire also found that directors have an appropriate decision making process which is rooted in discussions that consider budget, earnings outlook, risk of impact on business or management, etc., and that the board strives to improve corporate value, selection and concentration, and business expansion not only the directors' specific realm of responsibility, but also across the entire company.
