The Nisshin OilliO Group, Ltd. (the “Company”) discloses information on aspects of The Nisshin OilliO Group that include its activities, organization, financial status and earnings results with the aim of facilitating shareholder and investor efforts to make informed decisions, and furthermore consistently strives to achieve timely disclosure of managerial information that includes strategies for future growth and initiatives taken to fulfill its corporate social responsibility (CSR) mandate.

Methods of Information Disclosure

The Company discloses material information that is subject to the timely disclosure rules established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) upon having registered such information via the TSE’s Timely Disclosure Network (TDnet) in accordance with such rules.
The Company promptly discloses such material information by posting it on its website subsequent to TDnet disclosure.

Handling of Earnings Forecasts and Relevant Materials

The Company’s disclosure materials contain current plans, forward-looking statements, and strategies, such that are prepared on the basis of currently available information as well as certain assumptions deemed reasonable.
As such, actual earnings results may differ significantly due to various factors.

Handling of Undisclosed Financial Information

(Compliance with the Fair Disclosure Rule)
The Company complies with the Fair Disclosure Rule pertaining to fair and appropriate information disclosure. We accordingly manage material information that significantly affects the Company’s share price and promptly and fairly provide information to other investors in the event that as-yet-undisclosed material information has been conveyed to outside entities.

(Quiet period)
The Company designates as a quiet period a fixed interval of time extending from the day subsequent to each quarterly fiscal period until the date on which it is to release respective financial results in order to prevent unauthorized disclosure of financial information and to otherwise ensure fairness. During that time, we refrain from furnishing replies or commentary regarding financial results. However, we respond to inquiries even during the quiet period regarding information unrelated to financial results that has already been made public. We also release information even during the quiet period as appropriate in accordance with the timely disclosure rules if results are likely to vary substantially relative to our earnings forecasts.
