For details, please refer the document below.
To prevent unauthorized release of earnings information and ensure fairness, Taiyo Holdings observes a "silent period" from two weeks before the day after the end of the quarter until the date on which each set of financial results is announced. During the silent period, as a rule, the company refrains from responding to questions regarding its financial results and from making related comments. However, in the event that during the silent period it becomes clear to Group management that results are likely to differ substantially from forecasts previously disclosed, the company will effect an information disclosure in accordance with the Rules on Timely Disclosure in principle.
Any information disclosed by the company and this disclosure policy are subject to change without notice.
