Basic Policy
on Investor Relations
The T&G Group recognizes that, in order to achieve sustainable enhancement of corporate value, it is essential to provide transparent, fair, and continuous information disclosure to all stakeholders, including shareholders and investors, and to build relationships of trust through constructive dialogue.
Based on this recognition, IR activities and information disclosure are conducted in accordance with the following basic policy.
1. Basic Approach to Information Disclosure
The T&G Group regards accuracy, reliability, fairness, and timeliness as the foundation of its information disclosure policy.
In accordance with the Companies Act, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and other relevant laws and regulations, as well as the Timely Disclosure Rules established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, important information is disclosed in a timely, accurate and fair manner.
In addition to disclosures required by laws and regulations, information that contributes to stakeholders’ understanding and appropriate investment decisions, including management strategies, business progress and non-financial information, is actively disclosed.
2. Standards for Information Disclosure
The T&G Group conducts information disclosure appropriately in accordance with the Companies Act, the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and other relevant laws and regulations, as well as the Timely Disclosure Rules established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Based on this premise, decisions regarding the necessity and content of disclosure are made by comprehensively considering factors such as the significance of the information for investment decisions, the accuracy and reliability of the information, the timeliness of disclosure, and fairness in the market.
Even when disclosure is not required under these standards, efforts are made to proactively disclose information deemed useful to participants in the capital markets.
3. Methods of Information Disclosure and Positioning of the IR Website
Statutory disclosure documents, including annual securities reports and semi-annual reports required under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, are disclosed through EDINET, while information subject to the Timely Disclosure Rules of the Tokyo Stock Exchange is disclosed through TDnet.
Such disclosed information is promptly posted on the Group’s IR website, which is positioned as an important platform for information disclosure. The IR website is used to systematically provide materials such as financial results, securities reports, presentation materials, timely disclosure documents, shareholder meeting materials, and news releases, and efforts are made to enhance its content and usability so that shareholders and investors can access necessary information fairly and easily.
Information not subject to laws, regulations, or the Timely Disclosure Rules is also disclosed accurately and fairly through appropriate means such as press releases and the IR website.
4. Ensuring Fairness (Fair Disclosure)
The T&G Group is committed to providing fair information to all market participants and does not engage in selective disclosure to specific investors.
In dialogues with shareholders and investors, strict control of undisclosed material information is maintained, and efforts are made to ensure fairness in disclosure, including prompt public disclosure when necessary.
5. Dialogue with Shareholders and Investors (Two-way Communication)
Based on timely, appropriate and fair information disclosure, the T&G Group positions constructive dialogue with shareholders and investors as a key foundation for enhancing corporate value.
Efforts are made to actively promote such dialogue through IR briefings, individual meetings, and responses to daily inquiries.
Feedback obtained through dialogue is accurately understood in terms of market evaluations and expectations, and is appropriately reported to management, thereby contributing to the enhancement of management quality and corporate value.
6. Quiet Period
In order to prevent the leakage of financial information and ensure fairness in information disclosure, the T&G Group observes a quiet period from the day following the end of each fiscal quarter until the announcement of financial results, during which comments regarding earnings forecasts and financial results are refrained from.
However, if disclosure is required in accordance with laws, regulations, or the Timely Disclosure Rules during this period, appropriate disclosure will be made.
7. Management of Insider Information
The T&G Group ensures proper management of undisclosed material information and complies with insider trading regulations under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, while striving to establish and operate an appropriate information management system.
8. IR Structure
Within the T&G Group, the officer in charge of investor relations serves as the person responsible for information disclosure and is responsible for the formulation and operation of the information disclosure policy, management of material information, decisions on whether disclosure is required, confirmation of disclosure content, and coordination with relevant internal departments. The Corporate Planning Department is designated as the department responsible for timely disclosure.
The Corporate Planning Department works in close coordination with related departments, including Finance & Accounting, General Affairs, Public Relations, and Planning divisions, to gather, analyze, and disclose information, as well as to prepare disclosure materials.
Dialogue with shareholders and investors is conducted in coordination between management and the IR function. For practical IR communications, the Corporate Planning Department is designated as the department responsible for day-to-day operations, and the person responsible for such operations within the department is designated as the spokesperson to ensure consistent explanations to shareholders and investors. Feedback from such dialogue is appropriately reported to management.
9. Forward-looking Statements
Forward-looking statements, including earnings forecasts and management plans disclosed by the T&G Group, are based on information currently available and assumptions deemed reasonable.
Such statements inherently involve various risks and uncertainties, and actual results, financial position, and operating performance may differ materially due to changes in economic conditions, business environment, and other factors.
Due to the nature of forward-looking information, such statements may be revised in response to changes in circumstances after disclosure.
