Investor Relations IR Basic Policy

ID Holdings Corporation is committed to building medium-to-long term enterprise value and raising awareness of the Company’s operations and brand. To this end, the Company promotes dialogue with shareholders, investors and others in accordance with the iR Basic Policy. Through this process of dialogue, the Company strives to fulfill its duty of explanation to shareholders, investors and others while building relationships of trust.

1. Disclosure framework

The Corporate Strategy Department is responsible for timely disclosure and it endeavours to thoroughly publicize the importance of companywide timely disclosure. Any developments and decisions, which may influence investment decisions should be reported by all internal divisions and departments to the Corporate Strategy Department for its advice. After it has been reported to the IR director what information is to be disclosed by the Corporate Strategy Department, the said information will be publicly disclosed with the approval of the board.

2. Disclosure criteria

The company bases its swift disclosure on the principles of “transparency”, “fairness”, “continuity” and “timeliness” set out in rules such as those related to the trading of financial products and the “Securities Listing Regulations” stipulated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange (hereafter referred to as the “Regulations”). Furthermore, the company will disclose information not covered by the Regulations for Timely Disclosure wherever possible as long as it is judged to be useful to understand the company.

3. Forms of disclosure

Disclosure of information covered by the Regulations is disclosed through the Timely Disclosure Network (TDnet) utilized and operated by national stock exchanges. Furthermore, documents such as securities reports and mid-term securities reports are disclosed through the Financial Service Agency’s Electronic Disclosure for Investors' NETwork (EDINET). For information to which the rules do not apply, where the information is judged to be necessary for investment decisions, it will be promptly disclosed through means such as the media or the company homepage.

4. Dialogue with shareholders, investors and others

Guided by the spirit described in its corporate philosophy, the Company works hard to open channels of full and frank mutual communication, to achieve fruitful dialogue with shareholders, investors and others. When shareholders, investors and others approach us for dialogue (interviews), our basic approach is to include, within a reasonable scope, officers (including outside officers), auditors, members of the senior management team and IR personnel in the conversation. Similarly, we strive to inform the Board of Directors and related members of senior management, in an appropriate and timely manner, of the views and requests we gather from shareholders, investors and others in the course of such dialogue. From the perspective of ensuring that dialogue translates into action, we regularly examine our shareholder structure based on the shareholder registry.

Through measures such as conferring with multiple parties simultaneously, the Company scrupulously ensures that it does not divulge important unpublished information, nor create information disparities in the course of dialogue.

6. Quiet period

To ensure fairness as well as to prevent information leaks, the company has implemented a quiet period of two weeks before the scheduled date of results announcements and will refrain from making comments and responding to questions related to financial performance. However in cases of significant changes in performance during the quiet period, the information will be announced according to the Rules. Furthermore, during the quiet period, the company will respond to questions regarding information which has already been made public.
