Overview
- Fujitsu said Hidenori Furuta resigned at his own request after the company confirmed his "woman-related inappropriate conduct" in a June 16 disclosure.
- The company formally withdrew Furuta’s nomination as a non-executive director for the annual shareholders' meeting later this month.
- Furuta, who became chairman in 2024 after serving as COO and chief technology officer, declined to comment beyond saying the company statement "speaks for itself."
- Fujitsu gave no further details about the conduct and has not named a successor or described plans to amend the board agenda for the meeting.
- Shares in Fujitsu showed little movement after the announcement, reflecting a muted immediate market reaction and limited investor concern so far.
