Our company conducts disclosure in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and the timely disclosure rules stipulated by the securities exchanges on which our shares are listed (Tokyo and Fukuoka).

We make timely disclosures when information regarding material facts that may affect the investment decisions of shareholders and investors, information regarding occurring events, financial results, or when inquiries are received from the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and when there are material changes, cancellations, etc., to important company information already disclosed. In addition, for information that does not fall under the timely disclosure rules, we will strive to disclose it actively and fairly through our company website and other means.

Method of Disclosure

Disclosure of information that falls under the timely disclosure rules is made public through the timely disclosure information browsing system (TDnet) provided by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, in accordance with the same rules. Information published on TDnet is generally posted on our company website as soon as possible.

Furthermore, for information that does not fall under the timely disclosure rules, we will take care to ensure that such information is transmitted to general investors as accurately and fairly as possible by appropriate means, in light of the purpose of timely disclosure.

Regarding Future Outlook

In addition to the earnings forecasts submitted to the securities exchanges on which our shares are listed, we may provide information regarding our earnings outlook through other means.

Therefore, we ask that you refrain from relying solely on these outlooks. Please be aware that actual results may differ significantly from these forecasts due to uncertain factors such as changes in economic conditions.

During the quiet period, we will refrain from answering questions or making comments regarding financial results. However, if it becomes apparent that earnings forecasts are likely to change significantly during the quiet period, we will disclose the information as appropriate in accordance with the timely disclosure rules. Please note that we will respond to questions about information that has already been made public, even during this period.
