Basic principles on the information disclosure

We disclose the corporate information in a timely and appropriate manner, carefully taking into account the requirements of the company’s stockholders and investors. In accordance with the rules for timely disclosure in Financial Instruments Exchange, we disclose the material information, such as the company’s activities, financial management and results, which affects the investment judgment.
In addition, we achieve accountability, through open and active communication with the stakeholders, by disclosing the information without partially and reluctance, unless it is applicable to the rules for timely disclosure ,but considered to be informative for the stockholders and investors.
We also take initiatives to conduct Investor Relations (IR) activities to disclose the appropriate information to analysts, thereby a variety of analysis and assessment is available in the market, which leads to the rational and effective stock price formation.
With regard to the talks with the stockholders and investors, they are chaired by President, Chief Executive Officer and Representative Director, implemented by General Manager, Head of Corporate Planning Division, and assisted by staff members of Corporate Planning Division and related divisions.
