Dialogue with shareholders and investors

Basic Policy

The Company’s basic policy is to engage in constructive dialogue with shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders in order to deepen understanding of its business and management strategies, achieve sustainable growth, and enhance our corporate value over the medium to long term.

• Dialogue with shareholders and investors is supervised by the directors in charge of investor relations (IR) and shareholder relations (SR) and the Corporate Planning Division, and conducted by appropriate persons, including the president and representative director and outside directors, depending on the purpose and content of the meetings.
• The directors in charge of IR/SR and the Corporate Planning Division are responsible for coordinating with related departments that support dialogue and work to promote the corporation on a daily basis among the Accounting Department, Personnel Department, Administrative Department, Finance Department, and Group companies’ business divisions.
• As a means of dialogue, in addition to financial results briefings for investors which are explained by the representative director and the directors in charge of IR/SR, the Company actively holds briefings for individual investors, small meetings, individual interviews, and telephone interviews.
• Opinions and requests from shareholders and investors are regularly reviewed by the Board of Directors and related departments to enhance the Company’s corporate value and disclosure.
• Financial results and important information are disclosed promptly and fairly.
• The period between the day following the closing date and the day of the announcement of financial results is set as a silent period during which dialogue with shareholders and investors is restricted. In addition, the Company thoroughly manages internal information on a daily basis and has established internal rules with the aim of preventing insider trading.

Status of dialogue

In the fiscal year ending April 2025, we held 230 dialogue sessions during the year, including financial results briefings and medium- and long-term vision briefings.
