IR Policy
1. Basic approach
The Yokogawa Bridge Holdings Group (the “YBHD Group”) promotes constructive dialogue with all stakeholders, including shareholders and investors, with the aim of achieving sustainable growth and enhancing corporate value over the medium to long term. In addition, we will endeavor to proactively disclose information and share with management and the Board of Directors matters of interest and opinions obtained through dialogue, and reflect them in management and IR activities.
2. Standards of information disclosure
The YBHD Group discloses information in accordance with the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and other laws and regulations, as well as the timely disclosure rules established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Even in cases not covered by the timely disclosure rules, we will proactively disclose information that may affect the investment decisions of shareholders and investors.
3. Methods of information disclosure
The YBHD Group discloses information subject to the timely disclosure rules on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Company Announcements Service (TDnet) and promptly posts such information on the Company's website. Additionally, even in cases not covered by the timely disclosure rules, the YBHD Group will disclose information that may affect the investment decisions of shareholders and investors fairly and promptly by posting such information on the Company’s website, etc., in compliance with fair disclosure rules based on the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
4. Quiet period
In order to prevent leaks of financial information and ensure fairness in the disclosure of information, the YBHD Group will, in principle, observe a "quiet period" of approximately one month prior to the announcement of financial results for each quarter, when we will refrain from making comments or answering questions regarding financial results. If, however, during this quiet period, we anticipate a significant change in our earnings forecasts, we will promptly disclose related information in accordance with the timely disclosure rules.
5. Precautions regarding forward-looking statements
The YBHD Group's earnings forecasts and other forward-looking information are based on information available to the YBHD Group at the time of disclosure and certain assumptions that are judged to be reasonable. Accordingly, actual results, etc., may differ significantly from forecasts as a result of various factors.
6. Development of internal system
The Company has a system in place to appropriately implement this IR Policy, and execute timely and appropriate information disclosure in accordance with the timely disclosure rules. The Company’s timely disclosure system is centered on the General Manager of the General Affairs Department and the General Manager of the Finance & Investor Relations Office, who coordinate with each other and with other related departments, including the planning and accounting departments, to disclose information after the prescribed internal procedures have been completed.
