ContactDisclosure Policy
Basic Principle
Asahi Printing Co., Ltd. (hereafter “Asahi”) aims to promote sustainable corporate growth and enhance corporate value. We respect the spirit of the Fair Disclosure Rule under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and are committed to preventing selective disclosure and ensuring fair and transparent information sharing. Through these efforts, we strive to foster a deeper understanding and trust in our business activities among stakeholders, enabling appropriate evaluation.
Information Disclosure Standards
1.Disclosure of Material Information
Asahi discloses information in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, other relevant laws, and the timely disclosure rules established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), on which Asahi is listed (hereafter the “Timely Disclosure Rules”). Material information is determined by the officer in charge of information handling (General Manager of the Administrative Division)*1 in consultation with relevant internal departments, depending on the content of the information.
2.Voluntary Disclosure
Even when information does not fall under the Timely Disclosure Rules, Asahi will disclose it voluntarily if it is deemed likely to influence investment decisions, ensuring timeliness and fairness. However, we will not disclose personal information, customer information, or any information that may infringe on the rights of related parties.
Information Disclosure Methods
Material information subject to the Timely Disclosure Rules is disclosed via TDnet (Timely Disclosure Network), operated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The same information is also made available promptly on Asahi’s official website.
Quiet Period
To prevent information leaks and ensure fair disclosure of financial results, Asahi observes a quiet period from the day after the fiscal period-end until the announcement of financial results. During this period, we refrain from commenting on or responding to inquiries related to financial results. However, if there is a significant deviation from previously announced forecasts during this period, we will disclose the relevant information appropriately in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules.
Performance Forecasts and Forward-Looking Statements
Performance forecasts and other forward-looking statements disclosed by Asahi are based on judgments and assumptions made from available information at the time of disclosure. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially due to various factors.
Internal Disclosure System
Asahi works to establish an effective internal system and provides training to directors and relevant personnel to ensure appropriate information disclosure in accordance with applicable laws and the Timely Disclosure Rules, based on this Disclosure Policy.
Dialogue with shareholders is managed by the IR Department (Corporate Section, Business Management Department) under the supervision of the director in charge of IR. The IR Department collaborates with other internal departments to collect and analyze relevant information during shareholder communications, ensuring that appropriate decisions are made prior to disclosure.
*Note *1: Officer in charge of information handling (General Manager of the Administrative Division) = Designated Director for Disclosure (registered with the TSE)
IR Policy
We believe that building a deeper understanding of Asahi Printing Co., Ltd. among investors is vital to enhancing corporate value. To that end, Asahi actively engages in investor relations through briefings for individual and institutional investors, its website, timely disclosures, and the publication of IR materials. These activities are conducted in line with our Disclosure Policy to ensure fair and clear communication.
We also use feedback received from stakeholders through disclosure activities as a valuable resource to inform management decisions and improve our corporate practices. We strive to deepen mutual understanding with all stakeholders—including customers, shareholders, and employees—through proactive IR efforts aimed at enhancing corporate value.
