Scoop: Apple to appeal EU requirement to share info with tech rivals
Apple filed an appeal to the European Commission's specifications around how the company complies with its interoperability requirements, which compel it to share user information with outside developers as part of the Digital Markets Act, per a source familiar with the situation. Why it matters: Apple continues to push back forcefully against requirements imposed by the DMA, which the company has said forces it to give up its intellectual property and compromise user privacy. The deadline to appeal this particular requirement was May 30. How it works: The interoperability requirements are meant to give other device manufacturers and app developers access to Apple features that are normally exclusive to Apple products, including WiFi pairing and notifications on non-Apple smartwatches and headsets. Apple and Meta were the first companies to be hit with DMA fines in April, as Axios first reported. Apple put out a report last December arguing that the DMA's interoperability reports could be abused and expose private user information. What they're saying: "We design our technology to work seamlessly together, so it can deliver the unique experience our users love and expect from our products. The EU's interoperability requirements threaten that foundation, while creating a process that is unreasonable, costly, and stifles innovation," an Apple spokesperson told Axios. "These requirements will also hand data-hungry companies sensitive information, which poses massive privacy and security risks to our EU users." Per the Apple spokesperson, as allowed under the DMA's interoperability requirement, companies including Meta, Google, Garmin and Spotify have requested from Apple user notification content and stored WiFi networks, "giving them the ability to access personal information that even Apple doesn't see." The spokesperson added, "In the end, these deeply flawed rules that only target Apple—and no other company—will severely limit our ability to deliver innovative products and features to Europe, leading to an inferior user experience for our European customers." The other side: Companies that rely on the App Store to distribute their products have welcomed the DMA's requirements of Apple, saying they are long overdue for developers and other businesses to offer customers better features on their apps and devices.

Hibiki Path Advisors Launch a Public Campaign as the Largest Shareholder of JAPAN PURE CHEMICAL CO., LTD.
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hibiki Path Advisors ('we', 'us', 'our') has decided to launch a public campaign, including shareholder proposals, directed at one of our portfolio companies, JAPAN PURE CHEMICAL CO., LTD. (Securities Code: 4973) (hereinafter referred to as 'the Company', 'JPC'), in the lead-up to its 54 th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for 20 th June 2025. As the largest shareholder of the Company, our aim with this campaign is to protect and enhance the common interests of all shareholders. Opposition to the reappointment of Director and Honorary Advisor Masao Watanabe to the Board W ith regard to the other director nominees, we plan to oppose the election of eight individuals (including substitute candidates), excluding Mr. Tomoyuki Kojima and Ms. Momoe Kuromatsu (*1) Plan to oppose the transition to a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee (*1) S hareholder proposal (Item 10): Enhancement of stock-based compensation for directors (excluding outside directors) S hareholder proposal (Item 11): Partial amendment to the Articles of Incorporation regarding the decision-making body for matters such as surplus dividends S hareholder proposal (Items 12 and 13): Strengthening of shareholder returns to improve ROE (including share buybacks and increased dividends) *1 For the rationale behind why items 1. and 2. remain under consideration rather than being finalized, please refer to the attached statement of purpose. For further details regarding the public campaign, please refer to the statement of purpose via the link below: " Regarding the Public Campaign as the largest Shareholder of JAPAN PURE CHEMICAL CO., LTD." We have consistently engaged with the Company over several years earnestly, with our sole intention to guide the Company to take more proactive measures to maximize corporate value. Despite our longstanding, friendly, and earnest proposals since 2018 and the fact that we are currently the largest shareholder holding approximately 18% of the shares (excluding treasury shares) as of the end of March 2025, the Company has completely disregarded our fair requests and abandoned efforts to bridge the differences in opinion. As a result, we have reached the decision to launch a campaign including the submission of shareholder proposals with the aim of protecting the collective interests of all shareholders. As a premise of this campaign, it is a fact that Board of Directors have the fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the Company and the shareholders. Despite that, JPC board has been avoiding earnest engagement from the requests of general shareholders, including us as the largest shareholder and this continued management practices neglect their fiduciary duties as well as true advancement of corporate value. In our view, the primary cause of this governance failure lies in two factors. First is the continued dominance of Director/Senior Advisor Masao Watanabe (hereinafter referred to as 'Watanabe'), who has retained effective control of JPC for approximately 25 years since the Company's MBO, despite completely failing to generate corporate value during his term. Second is the uniquely structured board of directors (including independent directors), where repeated appointments from limited corporate groups have created conditions that hinder effective oversight. Despite such governance failure, we find it utterly disappointing for the JPC Board of Directors' intention to propose again for the reappointment of Watanabe in this year's General Meeting of Shareholders but additionally establish an Audit and Supervisory Committee structure that appears to significantly delegate authority to internal executive directors which appear to potentially further strengthen Watanabe's de facto control. The company has tried to persist with a board composition that appears to be a continuation of the existing structure, which demonstrates not only a complete lack of reflection on the prolonged destruction of corporate value but also a troubling unwillingness to listen to the legitimate voices of shareholders. Under the banner of a so-called "second founder," the Company has effectively deified Watanabe, thereby forfeiting a critical opportunity for fundamental transformation. We observe that there is serious lacking in fiduciary duty of the Company's Board of Directors as the Company's prolonged underperformance while continuing to implement piecemeal measures and deferring fundamental decisions. Not only did the Company Board of Directors fail to uphold common interests of shareholders, they also undermined the Company's competitive advantage and value creation. Such inaction ultimately harms all stakeholders, including customer relationships and the livelihoods of employees committed to the Company. We respectfully ask our fellow shareholders to support our proposal to enhance and maximize the common interests of all shareholders. Furthermore, we urge you, as fellow shareholders, to carefully consider whether the company's proposals – including the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to transition to a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, and the election of directors, truly contribute to the fundamental enhancement of the company's corporate value, and so we urge you to exercise your shareholder rights with sound and thoughtful judgment. Note: This post does not constitute a solicitation for an offer to acquire or recommend the purchase or sale of specific securities, or advice on investment, legal, tax, accounting, or any other matters. In the event of any discrepancy or conflict between the English and Japanese versions, unless otherwise noted, the meaning of the Japanese language version shall prevail unless otherwise expressly indicated. Sincerely yours,

Casio to Release New MT-G Featuring an Original Frame Co-Created by Humans and AI
Newly Developed Structure Fusing Different Materials TOKYO, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the latest addition to the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches: the MTG-B4000. This new timepiece features a distinctive frame developed in a process of collaboration between human designers and AI technology. The MTG-B4000 joins the MT-G line of timepieces, all of which utilize a unique construction that makes the most of the properties of both metal and resin. The new MTG-B4000 is a shock-resistant watch featuring a distinctive frame that was developed in a process of collaboration between human designers and generative AI and uses a combination of different materials. For the first time in a Casio consumer timepiece, generative AI technology was integrated into the development process. In pursuit of innovative craftsmanship, designers employed this advanced technology as a creative tool to explore new design possibilities and conquer the challenge of realizing a complex, unconventional structure which would have been difficult to achieve using traditional methods. Starting with design proposals from human designers, AI conducted load simulations using decades of accumulated data on shock-resistant construction for G-SHOCK. It then proposed optimal structural configurations by evaluating factors such as structural strength, material characteristics, and machinability. These AI-generated designs were refined through repeated testing and adjustments by skilled human hands, resulting in a frame that delivers the G-SHOCK signature ruggedness with a distinctive, unconventional aesthetic only achievable through AI collaboration. A new approach was also introduced by integrating the band connection parts into the frame. This allows the frame to directly absorb loads applied to the band, reducing impact on the center case and further enhancing shock resistance.
