Information disclosure standards In order to promote understanding of our group among shareholders and investors and to contribute to a fair evaluation, we disclose information in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and the "Rules on Timely Disclosure of Corporate Information by Issuers of Listed Securities" (hereinafter referred to as the "Timely Disclosure Rules") established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Internal System for Timely Disclosure of Corporate Information
Management of internal information
(i) We have appointed the Information Management Officer as the person responsible for managing internal information, and we will take necessary measures to prevent the leakage of information both inside and outside the company.
(b) The aggregation and management of information is handled the Head of Corporate Headquarters.
(h) If the Head of Corporate Headquarters obtains internal information about our company or our group companies, the Board of Directors will decide whether or not to make it public. However, in urgent cases, the Representative Director or a person designated by the Representative Director may make the decision.
Timely disclosure method Our company will promptly register information in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and the timely disclosure rules established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, as well as other important information, with TDnet (Timely Disclosure Information Disclosure System) provided by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The registered information will also be promptly published on our website from the perspective of "timeliness" and "fairness" of information disclosure.
Enhancing IR opportunities Our company aims to clearly communicate our management strategy, operating results, and financial condition to shareholders and investors. Therefore, we strive to enhance opportunities for our CEO and other management personnel to directly address individual and institutional investors, as well as securities analysts, both domestically and internationally, through company briefings, earnings presentations, and other events.
Ensuring thorough implementation of IR policy within the company We will ensure that our IR Policy is thoroughly implemented and adopted throughout the entire company. All inquiries from individual investors, institutional investors, and securities analysts will be handled by our IR department. This is to protect our company and its employees from legal liabilities under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and other relevant laws.
IR "Self-restraint period" Our company observes a "restriction period" immediately before the announcement of financial results, during which we refrain from making comments or answering questions regarding those results. This restriction period is four weeks prior to the announcement date of each fiscal period. However, if it becomes apparent that the actual earnings forecasts announced during the "self-restraint period" will deviate significantly from those forecasts, we will disclose information as appropriate.
