A Liberal Democratic Party panel proposed raising the threshold for shareholders to requisition an extraordinary general meeting from 3% of voting rights to at least 5%, and tightening eligibility to submit shareholder proposals to holders of at least 1% of voting rights (current threshold: 300 votes).

The proposals follow calls from METI and business lobby Keidanren for limits on shareholder rights and have drawn criticism from activist investors.
