Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Embodiments of the present invention relating to a CA system and a CA server, as well as an SO issuance system and an SO issuance server, will be described with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments of the present invention, as an example of the CA system and the CA server, an SO issuance system and an SO issuance server will be described. However, CA is not limited to SO, and includes any of the optional procedures required by the Companies Act, such as the issuance of SO, the issuance of stock options, capital increase, capital reduction, stock split / merger, articles of incorporation amendment, or corporate reorganization. Further, in the present invention, SO is not limited to stock options, and includes stock options and the like.

[0017] [Stock Option Issuance System] As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 1, the CA system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a CA server 200 and a plurality of terminal devices 400 (400A, 400B) connected to the CA server 200 via a communication line such as the Internet 300. The terminal device 400 is preferably a smartphone 400A, a personal computer 400B, or a tablet terminal.

[0018] Next, the configuration of the CA server 200 included in the CA system 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The CA server 200 includes a communication unit 210 for communicating with an external device, a control unit (CPU or the like) 220 for controlling data processing transmitted and received between the terminal device 400, an input unit (keyboard or mouse or the like) 230 for receiving various input operations by an administrator, a CA processing database (DB) (storage unit) 250 for storing data necessary for CA processing, a display unit 260 (display) for displaying various data, and a data bus 280 for transmitting data and the like between the units. The CA processing DB 250 stores procedure data such as a template in the format required for SO (CA), data for various display Web pages, and user information (ID, PW, email address, affiliated company, etc.).

[0019] As shown in FIG. 3, the terminal device 400 includes a communication unit 410 for transmitting and receiving various data with the CA server 200, a display unit 420 (display) for displaying the procedure data and the like transmitted from the CA server 200, an input unit (keyboard or mouse, etc.) 440 for receiving various operation inputs by the user, a control unit 450 (CPU, etc.) for controlling the operations of each unit, and a data bus 460 for transmitting data and the like between each unit.

[0020] [CA Execution Process] The processing flow of the procedure data in the CA system 10 will be described based on the flowchart of the CA system 10 (CA server 200) in FIG. 4 and the screens in FIGS. 5 to 19.

[0021] First, in step S401, when the user accesses the login screen (not shown) of the CA system 10 from the terminal device 400 and inputs the ID and password, a function selection screen (function selection web page) D50 for selecting various functions shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display unit 420 of the terminal device 400. The function selection screen D50 includes a function display area D52 displayed as "Search for what you want to do", a shareholder composition display area D54, and an issuance status area D56. In the issuance status area D56, the number of shareholders, the total number of issued shares, the number of SO target persons, the number of issued SOs, etc. are displayed.

[0022] The function display area D52 displays a plurality of buttons for migrating to a screen for executing each function online. For example, the function display area D52 includes a CA button D52a for executing the CA function, a board meeting holding button D52b for executing the function of holding a board meeting, a general meeting of shareholders holding button D52c for executing the function of holding a general meeting of shareholders, and a shareholder register management button D52d for executing the function of managing the shareholder register. When the CA button D52a is selected using the input unit 440 (such as clicking a mouse), the terminal device 400 sends the next web page data request command to the CA server 200, and the CA server 200 sends the data for the next web page (the screen data shown in FIGS. 6 and 7) to the terminal device 400, and a CA selection screen (CA selection web page) D60 for selecting the corporate procedures shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display unit 420 of the terminal device 400.

[0023] The CA selection screen D60 in FIG. 6 includes a procedure display area D62 for displaying the corporate procedures related to the ongoing CA, and a CA selection area D64 for executing a new CA procedure. The CA selection area D64 includes an SO issuance button D64a for starting the SO issuance procedure, a capital increase implementation button D64b for starting the capital increase implementation procedure, and a director appointment button D64c for starting the director appointment procedure. When the SO selection button D64a is selected using the input unit 440 in step S402, a registration confirmation screen D70 for essential items shown in FIG. 7 is displayed overlapping the CA selection screen D60.

[0024] The registration confirmation screen D70 in FIG. 7 includes an edit screen button (shareholder register migration button) D72 for migrating to an edit screen for editing the registered essential items, and a content confirmation button (SO issuance migration button) D74 for migrating to a content confirmation screen for the essential items.

[0025] In FIG. 7, an explanation of "Regarding the registration of type shares" is displayed as the content required for the next procedure execution. In this embodiment, when issuing an SO, if type shares are issued, a type shareholders' general meeting for type shares is required, so it also caters to companies that issue type shares. Note that it also caters to companies that do not issue type shares when issuing an SO.

[0026] In the registration confirmation screen D70 of FIG. 7, when the essential items such as class shares have been registered, in step S404, when the content confirmation button D74 is selected using the input unit 440, the terminal device 400 transmits the next web page data request command to the CA server 200, the CA server 200 transmits the data for the next web page to the terminal device 400, and the terminal device 400 displays a content confirmation screen (content confirmation web page) D80 for confirming the procedure content of FIG. 8 on the display unit 420.

[0027] In the registration confirmation screen D70 of FIG. 7, when the essential items such as class shares have not been registered, in step S404, when the edit screen transition button D72 (shareholder register transition button) of FIG. 7 is selected using the input unit 440, the terminal device 400 transmits the next web page data request command to the CA server 200, the CA server 200 transmits the data for the next web page to the terminal device 400, and the terminal device 400 displays a registration screen (registration web page) for the essential items (class shares) on the display unit 420. When the essential items are added or registered on the registration screen, it is possible to return to step S402 or S404. In the registration confirmation screen D70 of FIG. 7, when the essential items such as class shares have not been registered, the content confirmation button D74 can also be made non-selectable.

[0028] The content confirmation screen D80 of FIG. 8 displays the essential item (share type) set to proceed with the procedure (SO issuance procedure). The content confirmation screen D80 includes an essential item correction button (class share correction button) D82, a next screen transition button D84, and a return button D86 for returning to the previous screen.

[0029] In step S406, when there is no problem with the essential item (registration of class shares) displayed in FIG. 8, when the next screen transition button D84 indicated by "next" is selected using the input unit 440, the terminal device 400 transmits the next web page data request command to the CA server 200, the CA server 200 transmits the data for the next web page to the terminal device 400, and an input screen (input web page) D90 of FIG. 9 is displayed on the display unit 420 of the terminal device 400.

[0030] In step S406, when correcting the mandatory items shown in FIG. 8, if the mandatory item correction button D82 is selected using the input unit 440, the terminal device 400 transmits the next web page data request command to the CA server 200, and the CA server 200 transmits the data for the next web page to the terminal device 400, and the mandatory item correction screen (mandatory item correction web page) is displayed on the display unit 420 of the terminal device 400. In step S422, when the correction (registration, addition) of the mandatory items (type of shares) is executed in the same manner as in step S420 on the mandatory item correction screen, the process returns to step S406.

[0031] The input screen D90 in FIG. 9 (input screen for SO issuance requirements) is used to set (input or select) a plurality of setting items (SO issuance requirements) for proceeding with the CA procedure (SO issuance procedure). The input screen D90 includes a character input unit D92, a numerical value change button D94 for increasing or decreasing the numerical value, a date selection unit D95, a selection unit D96 for selecting whether to apply a predetermined item (granting of SO to directors), a condition addition button D108, a next screen transition button D98 for transitioning to the next screen, and a return button D99 for returning to the previous screen. The condition addition button D108 is provided in the additional condition display area D100 indicated by the dashed line. In step S408, as described below, input processing is executed using the screens (web pages) in FIGS. 9, 10A to 10C.

[0032] When the condition addition button D108 in FIG. 9 is selected using the input unit 440, within the input screen D90 in FIG. 9, the display area D100 for additional conditions is expanded and displayed vertically as shown in FIG. 10A. When the option display button D102 is selected, the option list D104 is displayed vertically in a pull-down format and can be selected as shown in FIG. 10A. When one of the options is selected from the option list D104, as shown in FIG. 10B, the description of the option is displayed in the option description area D106 beside the option display button D102. In FIG. 10B, when the condition addition button D108 is further selected, the exercise conditions can be additionally selected. When additional exercise conditions are selected, they are displayed as shown in FIG. 10C. Since the exercise conditions can be added as needed by the exercise condition addition button D108, the company's intention for setting the SO can be appropriately reflected.

[0033] In step S408, in FIGS. 9 and 10, after the necessary items are input, selected, and / or added, when the next screen transition button D98 is selected using the input unit 440, the terminal device 400 transmits the next web page data request command and the input or selected necessary items to the CA server 200. The CA server 200 transmits the data for the next web page to the terminal device 400. In step S410, the confirmation screen (confirmation web page for setting items) D90 in FIG. 11 is displayed on the display unit 420 of the terminal device 400.

[0034] Based on the knowledge and know-how regarding the actual operation of SO issuance, in order to save the labor and cost of format creation, the input screen D90 includes a character input unit D92 for inputting / selecting variable information, a numerical value change button D94, a date selection unit D95, a check unit D96, and a condition addition button D108. By inputting / selecting the variable information on the input screen (web page) D90 in FIG. 9, adding the setting conditions in FIG. 10, and transmitting the information of these conditions to the server, a format in which the variable information is automatically reflected in a form that reflects the intention of the SO setter on the server side is semi-automatically completed, and the completed format can be downloaded from the server (see FIGS. 13A - E described later). The places where the user finally directly describes (inputs) in the format are limited to several, and the labor of format creation can be significantly reduced.

[0035] The reason for inputting and selecting the SO issuance (CA execution) procedure using the input screen D90 is as follows. SO (CA) is complex both in terms of the issuance procedure and the issuance format, and it is quite a burden to handle it only with the human resources of the company that issues the SO (executes the CA). On the other hand, since the number of formats required for SO issuance (CA execution) itself is not so large, if the user has some knowledge and know-how regarding the SO issuance (CA execution) practice, by focusing on the variable parts related to SO issuance (for example, the exercise conditions and exercise periods in FIG. 9), it is possible to significantly reduce the labor and cost of the user's format creation.

[0036] In step S410, on the confirmation screen D110 of the settings in FIG. 11, all the settings required for the procedure are displayed and can be confirmed by the user. The confirmation screen D110 of the settings in FIG. 11 is provided with a next screen transition button D112 for transitioning to the next screen and a back button D114 for returning to the previous screen. When the next screen transition button D112 is selected using the input unit 440, the prior approval screen D120 of the settings in FIG. 12 is displayed overlapping the screen D110 in FIG. 11.

[0037] The prior approval screen (disclaimer screen) D120 in FIG. 12 is provided with a check box D122 for the user to approve (confirm) the content of the prior approval matters (disclaimer matters) displayed on this screen, a next procedure start button (SO issuance procedure start button) D124, and a cancel button 126. When the user checks the check box D122 with the input unit 440, the procedure start button D124 becomes selectable. When the next procedure start button D124 is selected using the input unit 440, the settings displayed in FIG. 11 and a Web page data request command for displaying the next SO task list are transmitted to the CA server 200, and Web page data is transmitted from the CA server 200 to the terminal device 400, and the task list screen (task list Web page) D130 in FIG. 13A is displayed on the display unit 420 of the terminal device 400.

[0038] The task list screen D130 in Fig. 13A includes a first task list display area 130A and a format download area D132. When the first task list display area 130A in Fig. 13A is scrolled vertically, the second task list display area 130B in Fig. 13B, the third task list display area 130C in Fig. 13C, the fourth task list display area 130D in Fig. 13D, and the fifth task list display area 130E in Fig. 13E are displayed in sequence. The task list display areas D130A to D130E are used to confirm the issuance requirements of the SO (CA execution requirements) and can also be linked to the board of directors function or the general shareholders' meeting function held online as described later. A plurality of tasks are provided in the first task list display area 130A to the fifth task list display area 130E, and check boxes are provided for each area that displays items requiring confirmation. In step S414, when the check boxes of all the tasks (excluding any arbitrary tasks) shown in Figs. 13A to E described below are checked, the completion of the execution of all the tasks is displayed.

[0039] In the task list display area D130A in Fig. 13A, the task list 1 includes tasks 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4. For each of the tasks 1-1 to 1-4, a check box and a description of the task are displayed within a substantially rectangular frame indicating the area. In the task list display area D130A in Fig. 13A, a display area D131 for the format required for SO issuance is shown, and when automatic creation is selected, the required automatically created format can be downloaded.

[0040] When task 1-1 is clicked, a board of directors convening screen (board of directors convening web page) that executes the board of directors function, which is the link destination of the board of directors convening button D52b in Fig. 5, is displayed. On the displayed board of directors convening screen, it is possible to actually convene an online board of directors. Since the motion data is also preset to be displayable or downloadable on the board of directors convening screen, the company side can complete the procedure for convening the board of directors with a minimum of actions. The motion data is automatically generated on the CA server 200 side based on the input data in Fig. 9. Note that checking the check box for task 1-1 is optional and can also be omitted.

[0041] When Task 1-2 is clicked, a web page for creating an agenda for the board of directors function is displayed. On the displayed web page for creating an agenda, it is possible to create an agenda for the board of directors. Also, since the web page for creating an agenda is preset so that the motion data that needs to be seconded at the board of directors can also be displayed or downloaded, the company side can prepare for the board of directors meeting with a minimum of actions.

[0042] When Task 1-3 is clicked, a web page for creating minutes of the board of directors for the board of directors function is displayed. On the displayed web page for creating minutes of the board of directors, it is possible to create minutes of the board of directors, and it is even possible to electronically sign the minutes directly. Also, on the web page for creating minutes of the board of directors, since the template data for the minutes of the board of directors required for issuing a tax-qualified SO is also preset so that it can be displayed or downloaded, the company side can create and keep the minutes of the board of directors with a minimum of actions. The template data is automatically generated on the CA server 200 side based on the input data in FIG. 9.

[0043] When the screen in FIG. 13A is scrolled, the second task list display area D130B in FIG. 13B is displayed. When the screen in FIG. 13B is scrolled, the third task list display area D130C in FIG. 13C is displayed. In the second and third task list display areas D130B and D130C of FIGS. 13B and 13C, Task 2 is linked to the general shareholders' meeting function, which is the link destination of the general shareholders' meeting button D52c. Task 2 includes subtasks 2-1 to 2-3. In subtask 2-1 of FIG. 13B, a plurality of document creation items (notification creation items), check boxes corresponding to each item, and a download button for the template data for creating the document corresponding to each item are displayed in that area. The template data is automatically generated on the CA server 200 side based on the input data in FIG. 9, and the set mandatory items and necessary items are reflected.

[0044] When Task 2-1 is clicked, the Web page for the general shareholders' meeting function, which is the link destination of the general shareholders' meeting button D52c in Fig. 5, is displayed. On the displayed Web page for the general shareholders' meeting function, the process of convoking the general shareholders' meeting can actually be executed. When executing the process of convoking the general shareholders' meeting, the convocation notice data reflecting the content entered in the articles of incorporation is also preset to be displayable or downloadable, so that the company side can complete the convocation procedure with a minimum of actions.

[0045] In Task 2-2 in Fig. 13C, a plurality of resolution items and check boxes corresponding to each item are displayed within that area. When Task 2-2 is clicked, the Web page for the dashboard of the general shareholders' meeting function is displayed. On the displayed Web page for the dashboard, the approval or disapproval status (proxy collection status) from the shareholders of this general shareholders' meeting can be confirmed.

[0046] In Task 2-3, a plurality of document creation items (minutes creation items), check boxes corresponding to each item, and download buttons corresponding to each item are displayed within that area. When Task 2-3 is clicked, the Web page for the minutes creation screen of the general shareholders' meeting function is displayed. On the displayed Web page for the minutes creation screen, it is possible to create the minutes of the general shareholders' meeting. Also, since the template data of the general shareholders' meeting minutes is preset to be displayable or downloadable on the Web page for the minutes creation screen, the company side can create and keep the minutes of the general shareholders' meeting with a minimum of actions. The template data is automatically generated on the CA server 200 side based on the input data in Fig. 9.

[0047] When the third screen in FIG. 13C is scrolled, the fourth task list display area D130D in FIG. 13D is displayed. In the fourth task list display area D130D of FIG. 13D, Task 3 includes subtasks 3-1 to 3-4. Task 3 is an interlocking function with the above-described board of directors function. In each of the areas of subtasks 3-1 to 3-4, a plurality of processing items and check boxes corresponding to each item are displayed. Legally, the resolution process for determining the matters to be solicited and the resolution process for determining the assignees of SO (with the condition that applications from grantors are stopped) are carried out in FIG. 13C. These resolution processes are basically the same as subtasks 1-1 to 1-4.

[0048] In the fourth task list display area D130D of FIG. 13D, Task 4 includes subtasks 4-1 and 4-2. In each of the areas of subtasks 4-1 and 4-2, a check box and a download button for a template (prototype data) corresponding to the subtask are displayed. Also, notifications and application forms for the grantees of SO can be collectively sent by the CA server 200 to the grantees from the task areas 4-1 and 4-2. The email addresses of the grantees are those pre-registered in the CA processing DB 250. This notification is legally required.

[0049] When the fourth task list display area 130D in FIG. 13D is scrolled, the fifth task list display area D130E in FIG. 13E is displayed. The fifth task list display area D130E in FIG. 13E includes Tasks 5, 6, 7, and 8. For Task 5, the processing content and a check box corresponding to the content are displayed.

The template data is automatically generated on the CA server 200 side based on the input data in FIG. 9.

[0050] The acceptance process of the SO allocation application for Task 5 can be done with an electronic signature. However, in Task 5, it is also assumed that there may be a need to reflect the intention of the SO grantor (company) side, so a paper-based response (the grantor downloads the PDF, stamps it, and returns it) is also possible. The collection of this application is also required by company law.

[0051] The process of concluding the SO allocation contract for Task 6 (contract process between the company and the grantor) can also be done with an electronic signature. However, in Task 6, it is also assumed that there may be a need to reflect the intention of the SO grantor side, so a paper-based response (the grantor downloads the PDF, stamps it, and returns it) is also possible. The conclusion of this allocation contract is required for tax purposes in order to be recognized as a tax-qualified SO.

[0052] In Task 7, it is possible for the CA server 200 to send a summary of the allocation notice by email to the email address pre-registered in the CA processing DB250 of the SO grantor. This notice is also required by company law.

[0053] In step S414, when the checkboxes of the essential checkboxes in FIGS. 13A to 13E are input, the check status of all tasks is sent to the server, and the check completion (SO issuance completion) is registered in the CA processing DE250 of the server. If the SO issuance is completed, in the SO management function of the server, the issuance details of the SO and the grantor are automatically registered. The state registered in the SO management function can be moved to and displayed on the SO management screen (SO management web page) D140 in FIG. 14 by selecting the SO management function button 52d in FIG. 5.

[0054] The SO management function is a function for managing the issuance details and assignees of the issued stock options. It is a function that focuses only on stock options from the function of the new share reservation right register and improves the operability and convenience. Although stock options also have a compensatory nature, it is difficult to reflect and manage them in the normal new share reservation right register, so it is in the form of being cut out as a function.

[0055] The SO management screen D140 in Fig. 15 displays a plurality of SOs (title: the Nth stock option). Clicking on the area of each SO, for example, "the 7th stock option", will move to the web page in Fig. 15. The content (issuance details) of each subsequent SO can be managed in the state shown on the web page in Fig. 15.

[0056] The SOs issued by inputting the issuance details in Figs. 9 to 13E will be directly reflected on this screen in Fig. 15, saving the effort of re - input. Figs. 15 and 16 show the web pages for issuance details management. Figs. 15 and 16 display an assignee list tab D152, an SO details tab D154, and a history tab D156. By selecting and switching between these, each item can be displayed. Fig. 15 shows the state where the SO details tab is selected, and basic information, a download button for contract data, exercise period, exercise conditions, etc. are displayed. Fig. 16 shows the state where the assignee list tab is selected, and by displaying the assignee list, it becomes possible to manage the assignees for each issuance round.

[0057] Through the above - described series of processes, the CA execution (SO issuance) system of this embodiment can be implemented in one go on a single platform from "CA execution (SO issuance)" to "CA (SO) management".
