Standards for Information Disclosure
Our company conducts prompt information disclosure based on transparency, fairness, and continuity in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and other relevant laws, as well as the "Timely Disclosure of Corporate Information" regulations set by the Tokyo Stock Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the "Timely Disclosure Rules"). Additionally, even if the information does not fall under the relevant laws or the Timely Disclosure Rules, we will proactively and fairly disclose information that we deem important or beneficial for shareholders and investors to understand our company. However, we will not disclose personal information, customer information, or information that would infringe on the rights of related parties.
Methods of Information Disclosure
Information subject to the Timely Disclosure Rules will be disclosed through the Timely Disclosure Network (TDnet) provided by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules. After disclosure through TDnet, the information will be promptly posted on our company's website. Even for information not subject to the Timely Disclosure Rules, we will widely disclose information deemed important or beneficial through our company's website and other means.
Prevention of Insider Trading
To prevent insider trading, we have established Information Management Regulations and Insider Trading Management Regulations. We also hold annual internal study sessions about insider trading regulations for officers and employees, distribute explanatory materials, and strive to thoroughly inform and educate them about the regulations. Additionally, we issue internal notices as needed to raise awareness about insider trading.
Handling of Earnings Forecasts and Future Information
Earnings forecasts, future outlooks, strategies, goals, and other information disclosed by our company, except for those related to past or present facts, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on plans, expectations, and judgments derived from information available at the time and certain assumptions deemed reasonable. Therefore, actual results may differ from disclosed earnings forecasts due to various uncertain factors such as economic conditions.
Silent Period
To prevent the leakage of financial information (including quarterly financial information) and ensure fairness in information disclosure, our company has established a silent period from the day after the end of each fiscal period (including quarterly periods) until the announcement of financial results. During this period, we refrain from answering questions or commenting on financial results and forecasts. However, if there is a significant change in earnings forecasts during this period, we will disclose the information in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules.
Internal System Development
In accordance with this Disclosure Policy, our company strives to develop and enhance internal systems to ensure appropriate information disclosure in compliance with relevant laws and the Timely Disclosure Rules.
