Summary
Fumiaki Kobayashi said the ruling Liberal Democratic Party will draft an interim proposal as early as July to review rules governing activist investors and shareholder behavior.
The party is weighing steps to make activist activity more transparent and to give Japanese companies more tools to handle pressure and disruptions from such investors.
Kobayashi, a House of Representatives member, is leading the LDP project team examining the issue, signaling the review is moving from discussion toward a formal policy outline.
