Communication with shareholders and investors (ESG interviews)

In order to help our shareholders and investors understand the direction of our long-term management, we hold ESG-integrated interviews that focus on non-financial aspects centered on ESG.

1Achievements over the Last Two Fiscal Years

In addition to Sustainability Management and Promotion Department, which is responsible for "E: Environment" and "S: Society," and General Affairs Department, which is responsible for "G: Governance," the IR Office will also be present at the meeting upon request.

The results of the ESG interviews conducted in fiscal years 2024 and 2025 are as follows:

TSR rank Number of companies interviewed
(Total number of companies)
Composition ratio (number of issued shares)*
Domestic Corporate Shareholders/Institutional Investors 25 companies Approximately 28.4%
Foreign institutional investors 33 companies Approximately 17.8%
Total 58 companies Approximately 46.1%

* Estimated from shareholder identification survey results commissioned to a third-party investigation agency (as of the end of March 2026)

2.Survey Results (Interview Destinations for FY2025)

After the interview, we conduct a survey to gauge the effectiveness of the ESG-focused interview and to identify areas for improvement for the next dialogue, including the level of satisfaction with the dialogue and an evaluation of our initiatives.

The results for FY2025 show that many of our interviewees commented that opportunities for comprehensive exchange of opinions on ESG issues were beneficial and efficient, and over 90% of participants reported being satisfied or generally satisfied with the dialogues.

Main matters addressed based on the points pointed out in the interview

Cross-shareholdings

Policy regarding strategic shareholdings

The Company acquires and holds shares for purposes other than pure investment when it determines that such acquisition will be useful for the smooth promotion of our group 's business activities, such as when it contributes to maintaining and strengthening medium- to long-term business relationships or stable fundraising.
With regard to listed shares held as investment shares for purposes other than pure investment, the rationality of holding them is verified from the perspective of whether they are useful for the smooth promotion of our group 's business activities, taking into account the acquisition history, trading performance, the status of cooperative and collaborative relationships, dividend performance, etc., and the details of the holdings, as well as the reduction results and future reduction policy, are reported to Board of Directors at least once a year, and sales are promoted as appropriate.
Meanwhile, since fiscal 2015, Innovation and Business Transformation Group has been continuously investing in venture companies and other organizations with the aim of increasing the added value of existing businesses and expanding business areas through the use of technology and collaboration with external partners.
In order to clearly demonstrate its intention to utilize capital effectively, in May 2025, the Company disclosed a quantitative reduction target to reduce the balance of stocks (listed stocks) held by the Company other than unlisted stocks by more than 50% (compared to the end of fiscal year 2024) by the end of fiscal year 2027, and to continue selling them thereafter, with the aim of not holding them in principle in the future.

Cross-shareholdings

Status of reduction in policy-held shares

In fiscal year 2025, we sold eight listed stocks (including partial sales) for a total of 101.6 billion yen, bringing our cumulative sales for the past three fiscal years to approximately 200 billion yen.
To achieve our disclosure targets, we will continue to engage in dialogue with our business partners and work to reduce our strategic shareholdings.
