The Company actively engages in responsible dialogue with shareholders and other investors through IR meetings and financial results briefings, etc. We recognize that the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders is the Company’s highest decision-making body and is also a forum for constructive dialogue with shareholders. Accordingly, we ensure a sufficient period of time and a good environment so shareholders can properly exercise their rights. Each year, we post the convocation notice in Japanese and English on the Company’s corporate website and other media around one month before the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders and send out paper copies three weeks prior. In addition, we strive to ensure convenience for shareholders, including by enabling them to exercise their voting rights via the Internet or a platform for electronic exercise of such rights. We also provide sign language interpreters at the venue of the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, as well as a special child-care room. Moreover, beneficial shareholders who hold the Company’s shares in the name of trust banks and the like are allowed to observe the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders after completing the prescribed procedures. We have conducted an online live stream so that shareholders who could not make it to the venue can watch the General Meeting of Shareholders.
