Development of our Proactive IR Activities

Holding Briefing Sessions as to Financial Closing

We are holding briefing sessions as to financial closing for security analysts and institutional investors. Since the last half of the fiscal year of 2006, we have been conducting such briefing sessions at the timing of each financial closing per quarter.
In February2014, we conducted questionnaires with security analysts about our briefing sessions as to financial closing. They were mostly satisfied with the presentations and the Questions and Answers. Though the reflection of shareholders’ wishes and ideas, we will continue to engage in appropriate information disclosures.

Information Disclosure on our IR Website

We have upgraded our Exclusive website for our shareholders and investors, where a variety of IR information, i.e. not just Messages from our Presidents, Information related to Financial Closing, or Mid-Term Management Plans, but also Introduction of our Businesses, Explanation of our Financial Statements, can be found.

Distribution of IR Information Tools

In addition to our distribution of Interim and Term-End Financial Reports to our shareholders and investors, we are issuing our Annual Report (Report on Financial Closing in English) as well. Also, we create our Annual Report in a Japanese version and all the contents therein can be found in our website. From the fiscal year of 2008 onwards, in order to provide the material of briefing sessions for our shareholders and investors in an even more timely manner, we are currently providing such information on our website in PDF format.

Conducting of Individual Meetings

We also conduct individual meetings with our security analysts and institutional investors.

Conducting of General Meeting for Shareholders

During our annual General Meeting for Shareholders, we are trying to provide our business reports for our shareholders by continuing to make improvements to present it in a straightforward manner. At our 138th General Meeting for Shareholders, President Noji provided an explanation of our business activities using a slide presentation.
