Engagement with Shareholders and Investors
We have formulated our Disclosure Policy, which sets out our basic policy of accurately and fairly disclosing information to fulfill our accountability as a listed company and to earn the trust of shareholders and investors, etc., and have been working to put it into practice.
At the same time, we aim to enhance corporate value by understanding the requests and expectations of our shareholders and investors through engagement.
IR Activities
We have established a page for shareholders and investors on our website (IR website) where we post corporate information for investors in a timely manner. In November 2021, we launched an IR Mailing Service to communicate the latest timely disclosure information and other information related to investor relations.
From the perspective of preventing the spread of COVID-19, we held a total of three online company information sessions for individual investors in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, we have held the first online company information session of the year in July. They were all viewed by numerous individuals.
After the announcement of quarterly financial results, our management team holds conference calls and financial results briefings for institutional investors in Japan and overseas to explain management strategies and financial conditions. We also participate in conferences for institutional investors organized by securities companies.

Details of the General Meeting of Shareholders held this year
Date: June 15, 2022

Disclosure date of Convocation Notice on website: May 20, 2022
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the 16th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders was held with the health and safety of shareholders as the first priority. We took measures to prevent the spread of infection, such as taking temperature readings, wearing face masks, having alcohol sanitizer available, and ensuring adequate spacing between seats. In addition, we accepted questions in advance through our website, and also provided a live stream via the Internet for shareholders who refrained from attending the meeting to view the proceedings.
We worked to ensure early sending and disclosure of the Convocation Notice and made it possible to view the points of the Convocation Notice on a smartphone so that our shareholders would have enough time to carefully review the proposals. Moreover, in addition to introducing easy exercise of voting rights by scanning a 2D code with a smartphone, etc., we addressed the issue of improving how shareholders exercise their voting rights by participating in the virtual platform recommended by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which allows institutional investors to exercise voting rights electronically.
At the meeting, we strived to explain our business lines using video materials to facilitate the understanding of shareholders. We also enhanced mutual understanding by answering questions received in advance and by holding a Q&A session with shareholders.
After the meeting, we swiftly disclosed the shareholder newsletter, the results of the exercised voting rights and other relevant information on the Company's website as part of our efforts to improve the way we provide corporate information to shareholders.
