NTT DoCoMo Inc., Nissan Motor Co. and NEC Corp. were among firms that held general shareholders' meetings Thursday, ahead of a slew of such meetings June 27.

NTT DoCoMo apologized to shareholders for booking 320 billion yen in losses on overseas investments in the year that ended March 31, its second such loss in as many years.

A number of NEC shareholders expressed dissatisfaction with the company's decision not to pay a dividend. The electronics firm stayed in the red in fiscal 2002 for the second consecutive year.
