(1) Information Disclosure Standards
We will disclose information in accordance with the provisions regarding the timely disclosure of company information stipulated in the Companies Act, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and other laws and regulations, as well as the Securities Listing Regulations of the stock exchange (“timely disclosure rules”). Even if the information does not fall under these timely disclosure rules, we will proactively disclose information that we believe is beneficial for investment judgment. However, we will not disclose personal information, customer information, or information that would infringe on the rights of related parties.
(2) Information Disclosure Methods
Disclosure of information falling under the timely disclosure rules will be made through the Timely Disclosure network (TDnet) provided by the Tokyo Stock Exchange in accordance with the rules, and after being published on TDnet, it will be promptly posted on our website. Information not falling under the timely disclosure rules, but deemed important or beneficial, will be disclosed widely by posting on our website or by other means.
(3) Prevention of Insider Trading
We have established internal regulations to manage important information appropriately, prevent insider trading, and disclose information fairly, and we thoroughly inform officers and employees about these regulations and provide education and awareness-raising to prevent insider trading.
(4) Handling of Future Projections and Future Information
Among the performance forecasts, strategies, policies, and goals disclosed by our company, anything that is not a historical fact constitutes a forward-looking statement. These statements are based on plans, expectations and judgments derived from information available at the time and certain assumptions deemed reasonable, and actual results may differ significantly due to various risks and uncertainties.
(5) Notes on the IR Information Webpage
To disclose fair information to all stakeholders, we publish information on our webpage as soon as possible after it is released. However, please be aware that we position information disclosure on this webpage as merely supplementary, as publication may be delayed in the event of system failures or other disruptions.
(6) Disclosure to and Performance Forecasts by Third Parties
We will only refer to information that has already been publicly disclosed, is commonly known, or relates to the general business environment when speaking with institutional investors and analysts. We will not endorse any performance forecasts for our company made by third parties.
(7) Quiet Period
To prevent the leakage of financial information and ensure the fairness of information disclosure, we observe a quiet period from the day following the end of each fiscal period (including quarterly periods) until the announcement of financial results. During this period, we will refrain from answering questions or commenting on financial results and performance forecasts. However, if there is a foreseeable significant deviation from performance forecasts during this period, we will make appropriate disclosures in accordance with the timely disclosure rules.
(8) Improving Internal Systems
We are working to improve and strengthen our internal systems to ensure appropriate information disclosure in accordance with this Disclosure Policy, relevant laws, and the timely disclosure rules.
