Information disclosure standards

Nichiden conducts disclosure in line with the Tokyo Stock Exchange's timely disclosure rules.
In order to help shareholders, investors, suppliers, and all other stakeholders properly understand and fairly evaluate our company, our policy is to disclose important information in a fair and timely manner.
For information not covered by the above-mentioned timely disclosure rules, our policy is to actively and impartially disclose, in the proper manner, information that we deem conducive to helping investors make investment decisions.

Methods of information disclosure

For disclosure of information covered by the timely disclosure rules, in line with these rules, after providing a prior explanation to the Tokyo Stock Exchange, we provide disclosure on TDnet (the Timely Disclosure Network company announcements service operated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange). Since we believe that our company website is one medium for providing shareholders and investors with important information, we use this website to actively and impartially disclose corporate information covered by the timely disclosure rules and information that we deem helpful in improving the understanding of shareholders and investors.

Forward-looking statements

Forward-looking statements regarding future expectations of the company are provided only as reference for investors. These statements were made based on information available at the time, and actual performance may thus differ from these statements due to factors such as risks and economic conditions.

Quiet period

In order to prevent leakage of earnings information and ensure impartiality, Nichiden has a quiet period lasting from one week before earnings announcement to the day of earnings announcement, during which time we do not respond to any comments or questions regarding earnings. However, if during the quiet period there arises a forecast that is significantly different our original performance forecasts, then we will make a timely disclosure in line with the timely disclosure rules. Note that during the quiet period we will respond to questions about information that has already been disclosed.
