IR Activities and Information Disclosure Policy
Basic Policy
SNBL will disclose information in a timely and fair manner in order to deliver useful information to all stakeholders, including shareholders and investors. In addition, we will enhance IR activities and information disclosure in order to maximize corporate value by improving understanding of our business activities by all stakeholders and building relationships of trust.
Information Disclosure Standards
Our company discloses matters that have a significant impact on investment decisions in accordance with laws such as the Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, or the Tokyo Stock Exchange's "Rules on Timely Disclosure of Corporate Information by Issuers of Listed Securities" (hereinafter referred to as "Timely Disclosure Rules"). In addition, we will provide clear and timely disclosure of management and financial information, as well as non-financial information related to environmental and social aspects, which are deemed useful for understanding our company, as fairly as possible.
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 (press releases). In addition, from the perspective of 'timeliness' and 'fairness' of information disclosure, information disclosed via TDnet and press releases will be promptly disclosed on our website in both Japanese and English as a basic principle.
Information Disclosure System
In order to ensure a timely, appropriate, and fair information disclosure system, SNBL has established a communication system with related internal departments and subsidiaries. The procedures for disclosing information subject to our timely disclosure are as follows.
Decision facts
The IR Public Relations Department analyzes the content of information reported by each department of our company and group companies in collaboration with the Finance and Accounting Department and the Business Strategy Department, among others, to determine the necessity of disclosure and the content and method of disclosure in light of the Timely Disclosure Rules and other regulations. If it is determined that the matter is important and subject to timely disclosure, it will be promptly disclosed following a resolution by the Board of Directors.
Facts of what happened
Regarding the occurrence of facts, the IR Public Relations Department collects information from each department of our company and group companies, scrutinizes the content of the information in collaboration with the Finance and Accounting Department and the Business Strategy Department, and promptly discloses it upon confirmation by the Representative Director.
Financial Information
Regarding financial results information, the Finance and Accounting Department consults with auditors and external experts as necessary, and the IR Public Relations Department scrutinizes the financial disclosure materials, which are promptly disclosed following a resolution by the Board of Directors.
Enhancing Dialogue with Shareholders and Investors
In addition to timely disclosure and dissemination of information through press releases, SNBL holds financial results briefings for analysts, institutional investors, and other stakeholders at least twice a year, with management as speakers, and publishes the audio and materials on the Company's website. In addition, we strive to enhance two-way and sincere communication through daily inquiries from external stakeholders, including shareholders and investors, meetings with institutional investors and securities analysts, and investor conferences hosted by securities companies. In addition, the opinions and requests received from shareholders and investors through these activities will be shared with the management team in order to be used as a reference for the management of the company to improve corporate value.
SNBL 's IR Activity Structure
Quiet Period
In order to prevent the leakage of financial results information and other information that may affect the stock price, and to ensure fairness, SNBL has designated the period from the day after the fiscal year end to the date of the announcement of financial results as a "quiet period." During this period, we will refrain from responding to any comments or inquiries related to the settlement of accounts. However, even during the quiet period, the Company may make timely disclosures regarding revisions to earnings forecasts and dividend forecasts in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
