Disclosure Policy
1. Objective
LIKE Group strives to disclose important corporate information in a timely and appropriate manner to ensure that investors and all other stakeholders fully understand our business activities, management strategies, and operating environment, thereby fostering appropriate corporate valuation and public trust.
2. Basic Policy
We recognize disclosure as a key management issue. Under the leadership of the President and CEO, we are committed to proactively and sincerely disclosing information. We also strive to communicate in a clear and accessible manner.
3. Disclosure Standards
We disclose information in accordance with the “Rules on Timely Disclosure of Corporate Information by Issuers of Listed Securities” and relevant laws and regulations, ensuring that information is disclosed promptly, accurately, and fairly.
4. Disclosure Methods
Statutory disclosures are made in accordance with applicable laws such as the Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. For timely disclosures, we use the Tokyo Stock Exchange's TDnet system, and the same information is promptly posted on our website. In addition, we actively provide information through periodic business reports for shareholders, company briefings, and one-on-one meetings with institutional investors.
5. Forward-Looking Statements
Some disclosures may contain forward-looking statements such as earnings forecasts. These are based on certain assumptions and the management’s judgment using information available at the time. While we strive to provide accurate forecasts, actual results may differ due to various factors. Therefore, we ask that you refrain from relying solely on forward-looking statements when making investment decisions. We do not comment on earnings forecasts made by analysts or other third parties.
6. Handling of Undisclosed Material Information
In situations where information is not equally accessible to the general public, such as telephone or email inquiries, briefings, individual meetings, or media interviews, we only share publicly disclosed or generally known information. Undisclosed material information is not communicated under any circumstances.
To prevent information leakage and ensure fairness, we adopt a “silent period” from the day following the end of each quarter until the earnings announcement. During this period, we refrain from commenting on earnings. If a significant deviation from our forecast becomes likely during the silent period, we disclose the information appropriately via TDnet.
7. Responsible Department
All inquiries and communications with institutional investors are centrally handled by the Corporate Administration Division. We also promote company-wide compliance with this policy and conduct internal training to ensure proper management of insider information.
