The Company stipulates in its Corporate Philosophy, “The Company will follow laws, regulations, the Articles of Incorporation, and rules and disclose information in a timely and suitable manner.” Based on this philosophy, the Company shall perform disclosure and IR activities according to the following policies: 1.   The Company will aspire to achieve an appropriate market valuation through the timely, accurate, fair and ongoing disclosure of corporate, financial, and other information and by building a relationship of trust with all of its stakeholders. 2.   The Company will relay the opinions of the shareholders and investors as feedback to its management and link them to efforts to maximize corporate value. Aiming for general shareholders meetings that promote an open dialog with shareholders, we organize general shareholders meeting where shareholders can speak freely. These general shareholders meetings are followed by a round-table conference that allows shareholders to gain a better understanding of our company while providing a forum for the valuable exchange of views and opinions. Moreover, to ensure the largest possible attendance, we try to hold general shareholders meetings on dates when relatively few other companies hold such events, such as on weekends. As regards periodic presentation meetings for analysts and institutional investors, four closing presentation meetings are held annually (April, July, October, and January of each year) subsequent to the disclosure of quarterly closing statements. In addition to the continuous implementation of company information sessions for investors, we distribute our company information through various media including newspapers, radio, on-demand broadcasts, and Web video distribution. Moreover, we post videos that highlight major points on our Web site shortly after the release of our business results. We distribute an IR e-mail newsletter to registered investors. The purpose of this newsletter is to convey our IR information as quickly as possible. This IR e-mail newsletter also includes timely information such as the major contents of press releases.   The information provided on this website is not intended to be used for solicitation purposes.
