INVESTOR RELATIONS

IR CALENDAR

In order to ensure fairness and prevent leakage of financial information, we maintain a "silent period" each quarter from the day following the settling of financial accounts until their announcement during which time comments and replies to enquiries regarding financial statements will not be issued. In the event, however, that substantial amendments to earnings forecasts are anticipated during this period, we may disclose information as necessary according to established rules of disclosure. Additionally, enquiries regarding information already made public or that not deemed as insider information will be addressed as usual during this period.
