DJK Group Code of Conduct
Standards for Information Disclosure
1) We will disclose material facts (insider information), such as decisions and events that may affect the investment decisions of shareholders and investors as well as financial results, in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
2) We will actively disclose any information that does not fall under the Timely Disclosure Rules but that we believe is important for investment decisions.
Information Disclosure Methods
We will disclose information that falls under the Timely Disclosure Rules through the Timely Disclosure Network (TDnet) provided by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In addition, we publish disclosure documents such as annual securities reports and semi-annual securities reports through the Financial Services Agency's electronic disclosure system (EDINET).
We will also promptly disclose any information that does not fall under the Timely Disclosure Rules but that we believe is important for investment decisions through our website or other channels.
Management of Insider Information
We have established internal regulations (Insider Information Management Regulations) to ensure the proper management of insider information and to prevent insider trading, and we thoroughly inform all our officers and employees of these regulations and ensure compliance with them.
Earnings Forecasts
Earnings forecasts, outlooks, strategies, policies, targets, and other forward-looking statements we disclose are based on information we have obtained as of the date of the release and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable, and are not intended to guarantee the achievement of such results. Our actual business results may differ significantly due to uncertainties such as economic conditions and financial market trends.
Quiet Period
In order to prevent the leakage of financial information and ensure fairness in information disclosure, we have designated the period from the day following each quarterly settlement date to the date of each announcement of financial results as a quiet period. During the quiet period, we will refrain from responding to inquiries or making comments about financial results and earnings outlooks; provided, however, that if financial results are expected to deviate significantly from earnings forecasts or if material information that must be disclosed arises during the quiet period, we will disclose such information as appropriate in accordance with applicable laws and ordinances and the Timely Disclosure Rules.
Information Disclosure System
We strive to establish internal systems in accordance with this Disclosure Policy so as to ensure appropriate disclosure of information in compliance with laws and ordinances and the Timely Disclosure Rules.
