IR Basic Policy

• We consider building long-term relationships of trust with our shareholders and investors to be one of our most important management priorities.
• We will strive to continuously deepen relationships of trust by providing corporate information necessary for investment decisions in an appropriate manner and by practicing IR activities that contribute to enhancing corporate value through constructive dialogues.

• We will disclose information in a timely, accurate, and fair manner in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
• We will disclose information that is subject to the timely disclosure rules of the Tokyo Stock Exchange through the system provided by the Exchange. In addition, we will promptly post the same information on our website after disclosure.
• Even in cases not covered by the timely disclosure rules, we will proactively disclose information that is considered to have a substantial impact on investment decisions and information that is useful to our shareholders and investors, thus ensuring the transparency of management.

• We will strive to provide easy-to-understand explanations from the perspective of shareholders and investors so that they can deepen their understanding of us.
• We will value dialogue with our shareholders and investors so that we can respond to their requests.
• We will strive to build long-term relationships of trust with our shareholders and investors.

• We will make every effort to post materials and other information provided at company briefings and financial results briefings on our website to the extent possible, so that our shareholders and investors who were unable to attend the meetings will equally receive the information.
• We will translate information that may have a significant impact on the investment decisions of investors, such as financial results, into English as much as possible and post it on our website to ensure that overseas investors equally have access to such information.

In order to prevent leaks of financial information and ensure fairness, we have designated the period from the closing date for the full year and quarterly financial results to the date of the announcement of financial results as a period of silence, during which time we will refrain from responding to inquiries or making comments regarding financial results.

However, this does not apply when material facts that should be disclosed in a timely manner occur during the quiet period.
