For the purpose of preventing the leaking of financial results information and ensuring the fairness of information disclosure, the Company applies even more rigorous measures than the standards set by Japan Exchange Group and designates a silent period from the day following the end of each quarterly fiscal period (i.e., the first day of the following month) until the date of the financial results announcement. During this period, the Company refrains from responding to, commenting on, or otherwise disclosing information in response to inquiries related to the applicable financial results. However, even during the silent period, if it becomes apparent that there are material differences in earnings forecasts requiring disclosure under timely disclosure rules, the Company will make such disclosure promptly.

The information disclosed by the Matsuda Sangyo Group (hereinafter the “Group”) includes forward-looking statements such as earnings forecasts and future outlooks. These represent the Group’s “projections” based on the limited information available at the time of preparation and are subject to potential risks and uncertainties. As a result, actual performance, etc., may differ materially due to various factors. Key factors that could affect actual performance include global economic conditions, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and precious metal prices, and market conditions, among others.

In order to achieve appropriate information disclosure and constructive dialogue with shareholders and investors, the Company has appointed an Executive Officer in charge of Information Disclosure and has established, under said Executive Officer’s leadership, the CSR IR Department, which serves as the primary interface with shareholders and investors and coordinates with internal departments. Material information subject to potential disclosure is promptly reported from relevant departments to the Executive Officer in charge of Information Disclosure and the CSR IR Department, and the Company strives to ensure comprehensiveness and accuracy. The CSR IR Department, having reviewed the information for disclosure appropriateness and content, and, as a general rule, having been instructed by the Executive Officer in charge of Information Disclosure following approval by the Board of Directors, takes responsibility for and conducts the information disclosure. For urgent matters such as the occurrence of material facts, the Company conducts prompt disclosures with the approval of the President and Representative Director and strives to ensure timeliness. Opinions and other feedback received from shareholders and investors through dialogue are periodically reported to the Board of Directors and the Audit and Supervisory Committee, along with a summary of IR activities, and are utilized to improve ongoing IR activities and management practices. In addition, to prevent the leaking of material non-public (insider) information during the course of dialogue, the Company conducts internal education in accordance with its Regulations on Managing Insider Trading and strives to ensure rigorous information management.

The Company provides opportunities for information disclosure regarding its business activities and financial results through regular events such as the  general shareholders meeting, information meeting regarding financial results, and IR seminar for individual investors. In addition, the Company conducts individual meetings with institutional investors and analysts as needed and works to enhance information disclosure through the Company’s website, Integrated Report, and the IR HANDBOOK.
