We strive for high transparency in the information we disclose so that our shareholders and investors can deepen their understanding of our business and growth strategies.
We also value constructive dialogue with shareholders and investors. We take in their insights gained through the dialogue and feed them back internally, including management. In this way, we link the input of our shareholders and investors to the sustainable growth of the Company and the enhancement of corporate value.

• Disclosure Policy

After the announcement of quarterly financial results, we hold conference calls and financial results briefings for institutional investors in Japan and overseas, and our management team explains management strategies and financial conditions. To respond to the interests of institutional investors, we also conduct dialogues through individual interviews. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we also held discussions between shareholders and Outside Directors on topics such as sustainability management and the agenda for the general meeting of shareholders.
We held a total of four online company information sessions for individual investors in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, and received opinions from many individual investors through queries and responses to questionnaires.
To ensure fairness in our information disclosure, we have established a page for shareholders and investors (IR website), where we post corporate information for investors such as timely disclosure information in a timely manner in both Japanese and English. We also implement an IR Mailing Service to communicate information related to investor relations.

Every year, we hold the General Meeting of Shareholders, giving top priority to enhancing communication with shareholders and improving their convenience.
Regarding the provision of materials for the General Meeting of Shareholders prior to the holding of the 18th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, as in the past, we endeavored to disclose and send the materials as early as possible so that shareholders would have enough time to carefully review the proposals and we accepted questions in advance on our website. In addition, we have taken advantage of a system for electronic provision of materials to enhance content related to sustainability and other topics.
As for exercise of voting rights, we participate in the virtual platform recommended by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which allows institutional investors to exercise voting rights electronically, and we have adopted a system that allows shareholders to easily exercise voting rights by scanning a 2D code with a smartphone, etc.
On the day of the General Meeting of Shareholders, we provide an environment where shareholders who have difficulty coming to the meeting can watch the proceedings streamed live on the Internet. In our business reports, we use video materials to provide easy-to-understand explanations, striving to ensure that shareholders can understand our management and businesses. We also enhance mutual understanding by answering questions received in advance and by holding a Q&A session with shareholders.
After the meeting, we swiftly disclose the results of the exercised voting rights, the slides used on the day of the meeting and other relevant information on the Company's website as part of our efforts to improve the way we provide corporate information to shareholders.
