Hokuriku Electric Beats Back Dividend-for-Quake-Relief Motion, but Nuclear Exit Push Keeps Coming
The catch: Hokuriku Electric's shareholders wanted to cut the dividend to ¥5 a share and send the difference to Noto earthquake relief and rate cuts; the board's ¥15 payout won with 98% support instead. Six separate proposals to quit nuclear power and reprocessing were also voted down, though the filing doesn't disclose how close those specific votes were.
