Disclosure Policy
(1) Criteria for information disclosure
We disclose information promptly, based on transparency, fairness, and continuity, in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law and other laws and regulations, and the "Timely Disclosure of Corporate Information, etc." (hereinafter referred to as "Timely Disclosure Rules") of the Securities Listing Regulations established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Even in cases not covered by laws and regulations or the Timely Disclosure Rules, we will actively and fairly disclose information that we deem important or useful for shareholders and investors to understand our company. We do not disclose personal information, customer information, or information that may infringe on the rights of related parties.
(2) Method of information disclosure
Information required by the Timely Disclosure Rules shall be disclosed through the Timely Disclosure Network (TDnet) provided by the Tokyo Stock Exchange in accordance with the Rules, and shall also be promptly posted on the Company's website after being disclosed through TDnet. Information not covered by the Timely Disclosure Rules, but deemed important or useful, will be widely disclosed by posting it on the Company's website.
(3) Prevention of insider trading
To prevent insider trading, we have established the Insider Trading Control Regulations and are working to prevent insider trading. In addition, we hold a study session on insider trading regulations for directors and employees every year and distribute explanatory documents to ensure thorough understanding and awareness of the regulations, and issue internal notices as appropriate to alert employees to insider trading.
(4) Handling of earnings forecasts and future information
The statements other than those relating to past or present facts are forward-looking statements, and are based on plans, expectations, and judgments based on information currently available to the Company and certain assumptions that are judged to be reasonable. Therefore, actual results may differ from the disclosed forecasts, etc., due to variable factors such as economic conditions and various other uncertainties.
(5) Silence period
In order to prevent the leakage of financial information (including quarterly financial information) and to ensure fairness in the disclosure of information, we have established the period from the day following the last day of the accounting period (quarterly financial results) to the day of each earnings announcement as a quiet period. During this period, we refrain from answering questions or commenting on financial results and forecasts. However, if we anticipate a significant change in our earnings forecast during this period, we will make an appropriate public announcement in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules.
(6) Development of internal systems
In accordance with this Disclosure Policy, the Company is striving to develop and enhance its internal systems to ensure appropriate disclosure of information in accordance with various laws and regulations and timely disclosure rules.
