Communication with Stakeholders

Communication with our shareholders and investors

In addition to complying with legal disclosure standards, we will promptly disclose information to various media outlets and publish it on our website.

Holding of the Annual Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting

We hold our annual general shareholders' meeting every June.
To allow our shareholders ample time to consider the matters to be reported and resolved at the general shareholders' meeting, we send out the notice of convocation earlier than the legal deadline and also post it on our website before sending it out, striving for early information disclosure. For our overseas shareholders, we provide a partial English translation of the notice of convocation on our website, simultaneously with the Japanese version.
In addition to the written voting method, we are also striving to create an appropriate environment for shareholders to exercise their rights, such as allowing them to exercise their voting rights from their personal computers and mobile phones.
Please note that the proceedings of the shareholders' meeting were later streamed on this website for a limited time.

Communication with institutional investors and sell-side analysts

<Financial Results Briefings, etc.>
