Disclosure and IR policies

PRONEXUS regards it as our social mission to contribute to the sound growth of our corporate clients and the capital markets by supporting corporate disclosure and IR practical processes, thereby facilitating appropriate corporate valuation and investment actions by investors. In accordance with the Social & Environmental Code of Conduct, we are committed to executing rapid, accurate and fair disclosure to our shareholders and investors, and to engaging in constructive dialogue. By continuing these practices, we aim to enhance management transparency and pursue the reliability of our corporation as a social entity.

We make this fundamental policy known both internally and externally, and always conduct our disclosures based on appropriate standards, methods, and systems, as set forth in our disclosure policy as follows.

The Company conducts consistent information disclosure based on the Companies Act, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and other relevant laws and regulations, as well as the provisions related to timely disclosure of company information stipulated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s “Securities Listing Regulations” (“Timely Disclosure Rules”). When the information of facts of decision or occurrence, or the information related to financial results arise and it significantly affects investment decisions, we disclose it promptly in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules. Moreover, even when the information does not fall under the Timely Disclosure Rules, if we judge the information to be important or beneficial for investors to understand the Company, we actively disclose it, striving to improve the fairness of information access.

We do not disclose personal information, customer information and any information that infringes upon the rights of related parties.

For information subject to the Timely Disclosure Rules, we first register it and make it public via the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s “TDnet (Timely Disclosure network),” and promptly following that, we post it on the Company's website. We also broadly disclose information not subject to the Timely disclosure Rules by posting it on our website and other means.

The Company has established internal regulations to properly manage important information and prevent insider trading, and we are committed to thoroughly disseminating and promoting understanding of these regulations among all employees across the entire PRONEXUS Group.

Any non-historic facts that the Company discloses as earnings forecasts, strategies, policies or targets are what we refer to as forward-looking statements. These are based on plans, expectations, and judgments founded on information available to the Company at the time and on certain assumptions deemed reasonable. Actual business and other results may differ substantially due to various risks and uncertain factors.

To ensure fairness to investors, the Company observes a quiet period starting the day after the end of each fiscal quarter until the day of the earnings announcement. During this period, we refrain from answering questions or making comments about financial results or earnings forecasts. However, if there is a significant deviation from our earnings forecasts during the quiet period, we will make appropriate disclosures in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules.

The Company establishes and maintains systems to properly implement our disclosure policy and to ensure timely and appropriate information disclosure in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules. The Company’s department in charge of disclosing information collaborates with various operational departments within the Company to gather and analyze relevant information. We have clarified the process from the occurrence of information to its disclosure to ensure that such disclosures are made based on appropriate corporate decisions.

The Company has an mission as a company to provide infrastructure to support accurate and fair information disclosure that aids investors in making proper investment decisions through providing support for the disclosure and IR practical processes of our corporate clients.
From this perspective, we also advance our own IR activities under the following policies, aiming to execute rapid, accurate, and fair disclosures and constructive dialogue with our shareholders and investors.

In order to enhance the corporate value of the Company, it is crucial that investors correctly recognize and understand the Company. To this end, we disclose information correctly and in a timely manner, in accordance with our disclosure policy. This includes information on our management philosophy, mission and role, management policies, business activities, business performance, financial status, various management indices, policies and achievements in shareholder returns, and medium-term management plans and future prospects.
Dialogue with shareholders and investors is overseen by the person responsible for information disclosure. Furthermore, depending on the purpose of the meetings, they will be appropriately handled by either the Directors, Executive Officers or the department in charge of IR. To enhance the effectiveness of such dialogue, the department in charge of IR closely coordinates with the corporate departments, including the finance and accounting department, and the general affairs department, to implement the following measures as a basis for constructive dialogue.

Moreover, insights gained through such dialogue are continuously reported to the management team to aid in making management decisions.

Through such IR activities, we aim to enhance investors’ awareness of the Company and deepen their appropriate understanding of our current situation and prospects, and to meet investors’ expectations through the realization of business performance and growth, thereby enhancing their expectations for the Company, which in turn contributes to the enhancement of our corporate and brand value. We will continue to enrich our IR activities going forward.
