Basic Policy
With Shareholders / Investors (Responsibility to Shareholders / Investors)
The MEC Group continues to be a corporate group with high growth potential, stability, and transparency, aiming to create greater value through its business activities and to have such corporate value highly evaluated in the market.
Holding general meeting of shareholders
We set a date for our general meeting of shareholders, which is a place for direct communication with shareholders, so that it avoids many general meetings of shareholders being held at the same time. We send out the notice of convocation of the general meeting of shareholders at an early stage, utilize exercise of voting rights via the Internet, and post the convocation notice in Japanese and English on our website. In these ways, we are working to facilitate the exercise of voting rights by our shareholders.
Financial results briefing session, seminar for investors and analysts (briefing session)
We hold financial results briefing sessions for institutional investors and analysts, have technical seminars, and hold meetings with domestic and overseas institutional investors and analysts. We also hold company briefing sessions for shareholders, have seminars for individual investors, and exhibit at exhibitions. Thus, we are working to enhance the environment for communicating with shareholders and investors. The opinions and questions obtained through these forms of communication are reported to the management as appropriate. In FY2023, the Company continued communication through briefings on financial results, meetings, etc., via web conferencing systems, telephone conferences, and face-to-face meetings, as appropriate.
We also participated in events for individual investors.
Communication with shareholders
In order to deepen understanding of the Company, we hold company briefing sessions after the general meeting of shareholders and issue a shareholder newsletter (twice a year). We will carry out a shareholder questionnaire in the shareholder newsletter, and utilize the feedback we receive when we disseminate information, create a magazine, and conduct business activities.
In 2023, we resumed face-to-face company briefing sessions for shareholders (Tokyo venue), which we had suspended owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. In November, we also held an office tour for shareholders, where they toured the plant, research, and office areas at the head office and Amagasaki Headquarters. Officers of the Company attended the Q&A session after the tour.
