Fair Disclosure of Material Information and Prevention of Insider Trading
The Company has established internal rules for the proper management of material corporate information with the objectives of preventing insider trading and ensuring the fair disclosure of information. The Company also strives to promote full awareness and understanding of these rules among all officers and employees across the Group.
Forecasts and Forward-Looking Statements
The information disclosed by the Company may include forecasts of financial results and other forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on information available to the Company at the time of disclosure. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from these forecasts due to various factors.
Quiet Period
To prevent the leakage of financial information prior to earnings announcements and to ensure fairness, the Company designates the period from the day following the fiscal period-end to the date of the earnings release as a quiet period. During this period, the Company refrains from responding to inquiries or providing comments regarding its financial results.
However, if it becomes likely during the quiet period that the Company's earnings forecasts will differ significantly from previously announced figures, the Company will disclose such information in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules. Notwithstanding the quiet period, the Company will respond to inquiries relating to information that has already been made public.
