In recent years, information leaks and insider trading by company personnel have been on the rise, and exposure by the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission has been strengthened.
Our company has established “Regulations on Internal Information Management and Insider Trading Prevention,” which do not only prohibit information leaks, but also require prior notification when buying and selling company shares and those of other companies including business partners and prohibit transactions indiscriminately two weeks before the scheduled date of financial results announcement.
We will continue to make efforts to ensure that the rules are well known through our intranet and other media, and to appropriately manage information and prevent insider trading.
