Disclosure Policy

Basic Policy

H.I.S. Co., Ltd. (the "Company") is committed to disclosing corporate information in an accurate, fair, and timely manner, in compliance with the Companies Act,the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and the "Regulations regarding Timely Disclosure of Corporate Information by Issuers of Listed Securities" established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

In the "HIS Group Charter of Corporate Behavior," which serves as our code of ethical conduct in society, we explicitly state our commitment to "Appropriate Information Management and Sincere Communication." We strive to provide appropriate information and engage in transparent communication with all stakeholders by ensuring the accuracy, fairness, and timeliness of corporate disclosures while maintaining proper management of such information.

Timely Disclosure System
The Company's timely disclosure is conducted in accordance with our internal "Information Disclosure Regulations." The person registered with the Tokyo Stock Exchange as the "Information Handling Officer" serves as the head of these activities. Personnel from the Finance & Accounting, IR/PR, Human Resources, General Affairs, and Legal departments collaborate with the Board of Directors Secretariat to identify and manage information and determine the necessity of timely disclosure. Regarding undisclosed material information prior to such disclosure, we ensure appropriate management based on our internal "Regulations for Information Management and Prevention of Insider Trading" to prevent any occurrence of insider trading. 
Methods of Timely Disclosure
Recognizing that timely disclosure is a cornerstone of investor confidence in financial markets, we always take an investor-centric approach, prioritizing transparency and fairness. In accordance with the rules of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the Company discloses information through the Timely Disclosure network (TDnet). For disclosures required under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, we utilize the Electronic Disclosure for Investors' NETwork (EDINET). We strive to ensure that all information is disclosed appropriately and in a timely manner. Following such disclosures, we promptly post the same information on the "Investor Relations" page of our corporate website. 
Quiet Period
To prevent the leakage of financial information and ensure fairness, the Company observes a "Quiet Period" during which we refrain from responding to inquiries or providing comments regarding our business performance or financial results. However, should any event occur during this period that requires timely disclosure under the regulations, we will disclose such information in an appropriate and timely manner. 
Future Outlook
Information regarding earnings forecasts and future outlooks published by the Company is based on management's judgment and assumptions derived from information available at the time of preparation. Please be aware that actual results and financial conditions may differ materially from these forward-looking statements due to various factors, including rapid changes in the business environment, market trends, technological innovation, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and other risks and uncertainties. 

Our Approach to Dialogue with Shareholders and Investors

We believe that constructive dialogue with our shareholders and investors contributes to the long-term corporate value and sustainable growth of HIS.
Such dialogues provide an opportunity to deepen understanding of the HIS Group Philosophy, business environment, management, policies, and business measures.
It also allows us to better grasp our reputation from the perspective of shareholders and receive valuable feedback.

Basic Policy

  1. We have a specialized department (IR Division) to plan and execute activities for dialogue with shareholders and investors.
  2. The IR Division handles all aspects of this dialogue, with the Representative Director acting as General Manager, who considers management's reasonable engagement based on shareholders' requests and discussion topics.
  3. The IR Division promotes smooth dialogue by regularly meeting and sharing information with relevant departments, and also exchanges information with each business segment as needed.
  4. Constructive dialogues with shareholders take place through the General Meeting of Shareholders, earnings presentations, one-on-one meetings, participation in IR fairs, facility tours, and other means focused on the long-term interests of shareholders.
  5. Opinions, requests, and concerns from these dialogues are timely reported to management and The Board of Directors to inform business operations and management.
  6. No undisclosed significant facts are revealed during these dialogues.

We are committed to this approach and continue to refine our system accordingly.

Feedback and response to management from dialogue with shareholders and investors

Questions and comments from individual meetings with institutional investors and analysts are shared with management and related departments on a monthly basis, and analyst reports issued by securities companies are also shared each time they are issued.
In addition, we are working to update financial results briefing materials, expand disclosure information, and enhance the content of integrated reports based on the points we hear from institutional investors and analysts.
