Relationship with Shareholders / Investors
Open General Meeting of Shareholders
NTN implements various measures to facilitate the smooth exercise of voting rights, including putting particular effort into making it easy for all shareholders to participate in the General Meeting of Shareholders.
Early sending of the Notice of the General Meeting of Shareholders, etc.
We strive to make early disclosures of information by posting the Notice of General Meeting of Shareholders on our website and sending out Notice letters earlier than the statutory deadline. The English translation (summary) of the Notice is also published on the website to enhance accessibility for foreign shareholders.
Devices such as notice General Meeting of Shareholders
To facilitate greater understanding among shareholders, we publish a list of candidates in the proposal for the selection of officers, along with their photographs, skill matrix showing their areas of experience, attendance rate at the Board of Directors’ and other meetings, years in office, and other information.
Scheduling the General Meeting of Shareholders to avoid overlap with “peak days”
To encourage more shareholders to attend the General Meeting of Shareholders, we avoid days on which many companies hold their meetings, but rather choose a date considering its relationship with settlement of accounts, audit schedule, and other factors.
Online exercise of voting rights
Voting rights may be exercised beforehand by postal mail as well as via the Internet up until the end of business hours (17:25) on the day before the General Meeting of Shareholders. In addition, institutional investors participate in the electronic voting system platform operated by ICJ, Inc.
Video of the General Meeting of Shareholders
Audio and video of the General Meeting of Shareholders are posted on our website at a later date so that shareholders can view a portion of the meeting.
Communication with shareholders and investors
We will strive to develop the company and proactively engage in dialogue with shareholders/investors and disclose information. When disclosing information, we will strive to promptly and fairly disclose information that we believe would be useful to shareholders/investors, even if the information does not fall under any laws or regulations.
Dialogue with shareholders and investors
General Meetings of Shareholders, quarterly financial results, and Medium-term Management Plan briefings provide valuable opportunities for dialogue with shareholders/investors, and the CEO and other top management actively participate in these opportunities. In addition, at ESG briefings to explain our ESG initiatives, not only top executives, but also the Chair of the Board of Directors, who is our top supervisory figure, and Outside Director also participate and engage in direct dialogue.
Going forward, we will continue to create opportunities to carefully communicate with shareholders/investors about our business and corporate value through explanations of our management policies and business strategies, etc., so that they can evaluate and understand our business and corporate value.
