In compliance with the Company Act, Securities and Exchange Act, and other relevant regulations, Arcadyan has established its Articles of Incorporation, governance structure, and practical guidelines. The Board of Directors is the highest governing body, with the Chairman serving as its head. The "Rules and Procedures for Board of Directors Meetings" ensure the effective functioning of the board's duties, mandating at least one meeting per quarter. The board's main responsibilities include guiding company strategy, appointing and supervising management, overseeing performance, and managing impacts.

Arcadyan has implemented a "Procedures for Election of Directors" detailing the selection process, which follows a candidate nomination system.

Directors who also serve as company managers do not exceed one-third of the board seats.
