However, in regard to persons who are engaging in or aim to engage in a large-scale purchase of the Company’s stock, the Company will act from the perspective of securing its corporate value and the common interests of its shareholders. From that perspective, the Company will request that persons who are engaging in or aim to engage in a large-scale purchase provide necessary and sufficient information to allow the shareholders to appropriately determine the pros and cons of the large-scale pur-chase in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. At the same time, the Company will disclose the opinions of the Board of Directors and endeavor to secure necessary time and information for the share-holders to consider such large-scale purchase. Further, if it is rationally judged that there is a risk of damage to the Company’s corporate value and the common interests of shareholders unless timely defensive measures are implemented to address a large-scale purchase, the Company will endeavor to secure its corporate value and the common interests of its shareholders, as an obvious obligation of the Board of Directors entrusted with management of the Company by its sharehold-ers, by promptly deciding the content of the concrete measures deemed most appropriate at the time in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations and executing such measures.Shareholder InteractionsThe Company seeks to engage in constructive interactions with share-holders and other investors that contribute to sustainable growth and medium- to long-term improvements in corporate value. The Company has established an investor relations (IR) activity system and advances proactive initiatives based on the following policies to facili-tate this endeavor.(1) The officer responsible for IR implements and oversees the Company’s various IR activities, including individual meet-ings with shareholders and investors. In regard to responses to requests for individual meetings, members of senior man-agement or directors will meet with shareholders or investors requesting meetings based, whenever appropriate, on the desires and interests of the requester.(2) The Public Relations Office, Finance & Accounting Dept., General Affairs & Legal Dept., and Corporate Strategic Office will play a central role in advancing the Company’s various IR activities. Relevant divisions pursue close coordination with these offices and departments, exchanging information on a daily basis and meeting with members of senior management as appropriate to share necessary information.(3) In addition to individual meetings, the Company’s IR activities include regular briefings on financial results and medium-term business plans, visits to overseas investors, participation in IR conferences at which overseas investors gather, facility tours, business explanatory forums, and Company briefings for individual investors. We seek to expand the range of information provided to domestic and overseas shareholders and other investors by publishing shareholder news-letters and integrated reports and posting information in the IR section of our corporate website. At the same time, we collect feedback from a wide range of shareholders and other investors through surveys that are attached to shareholder newsletters and made available on the IR website.(4) Opinions and concerns of shareholders and other investors solic-ited through IR activities are relayed to management by the relevant divisions via quarterly business reports at the Board of Directors’ meetings or reported appropriately to management on an as-required basis.(5) In interactions with shareholders and other investors, we prac-tice stringent management of information in accordance with the internal Insider Trading Prevention Regulations to ensure that insider information is not disclosed. In addition, the Company’s disclosure policy stipulates that we will observe a quiet period that begins approximately one month prior to the announce-ment of quarterly financial results to avoid leaks of financial results and to maintain fairness. During this period, we will not answer questions or make comments on our financial results and forecasts.Financial InformationESGStrategyOverview
