IR Activities and Information Disclosure Policy
Basic Policy
SNBL is committed to providing timely and fair disclosure of appropriate information to all stakeholders, including shareholders and investors. Furthermore, to maximize corporate value through enhanced understanding of our business activities and the building of trust with all stakeholders, we will continue to strengthen our IR activities and information disclosure.
Information Disclosure Standards
We disclose matters that have a significant impact on investment decisions in accordance with the Companies Act, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and the "Timely Disclosure Rules for Issuers of Listed Securities" (hereinafter referred to as the "Timely Disclosure Rules") established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In addition, we strive to disclose, in a timely, fair, and easy-to-understand manner, other management and financial information, as well as non-financial information related to environmental and social aspects, that we deem useful for understanding our company.
Method of Disclosure
Information subject to the Timely Disclosure Rules is disclosed through the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Timely Disclosure network (TDnet) and distributed to the media via press releases. In addition, to ensure the timeliness and fairness of information disclosure, information released via TDnet and press releases will, in principle, be provided in both Japanese and English and promptly published on our website.
Information Disclosure System
SNBL has established a communication framework between relevant internal departments and subsidiaries to ensure a timely, appropriate, and fair information disclosure system. The procedures for disclosing information subject to timely disclosure are as follows.
Decision facts
The IR and Public Relations Department analyzes information reported by each department and group company in cooperation with the Finance and Accounting Department and the Corporate Strategy Department, and examines whether disclosure is necessary, as well as the content and method of disclosure, in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules and other relevant regulations. If it is determined that the information constitutes a significant matter subject to timely disclosure, it will be promptly disclosed following a resolution by the Board of Directors.
Facts of what happened
Regarding material facts, the IR and Public Relations Department collects information from each department and group company, examines the content in cooperation with the Finance and Accounting Department and the Corporate Strategy Department, and promptly discloses the information after confirmation by the Representative Director.
Financial Information
For financial results, the Finance and Accounting Department consults with auditors and external experts as necessary, the IR and Public Relations Department reviews the disclosure materials, and the information is promptly disclosed following a resolution by the Board of Directors.
Enhancing Dialogue with Shareholders and Investors
At SNBL, in addition to disseminating information through timely disclosures and press releases, we hold financial results briefings with our management as speakers for analysts and institutional investors at least twice a year, and make the audio and materials available on our website. We also strive to foster sincere and two-way communication by responding to daily inquiries from external stakeholders, including shareholders and investors, and through meetings with institutional investors and securities analysts, as well as participation in investor conferences hosted by securities firms. Furthermore, feedback and requests received from shareholders and investors through these activities are shared with management as appropriate and used as reference for company management aimed at enhancing corporate value.
SNBL 's IR Activity Structure
Quiet Period
To prevent the leakage of information that could affect stock prices, such as financial results, and to ensure fairness, SNBL designates the period from the day after the fiscal period end to the date of the financial results announcement as a "quiet period." During this period, we refrain from making any comments or responding to inquiries related to financial results. However, even during the quiet period, we may make timely disclosures regarding revisions to earnings forecasts or dividend forecasts in accordance with the timely disclosure rules of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
