This new president loves to stay quiet

His term was only for one year, but he says that's standard procedure for them and he never meant to imply that he would only be around for one year.

"I know that everyone is interested in how long I will be around,” he says, laughing. “I really want to say that all the initiatives I’ve discussed with you, these are on me, these are my responsibility and I have every intention of seeing these to fruition.”

“Also, something I think that maybe was misunderstood previously was, there was talk about me being around for one year. What that was, is the board of directors, as a member of the board, the term is for one year. And at the next shareholders meeting we have to be reconfirmed as board members. That happens on a yearly basis, but there was never any meaning that I would only be president for one year in that conversation.”

In fact, Kimishima was appointed on September 16th last year, so he actually just passed his one year anniversary of being CEO.
