Policy on Developing a System for Promoting Constructive Dialogue with Shareholders/Related Initiatives

In order to contribute to the sustainable growth of JINS and the enhancement of corporate value over the medium to long term, JINS promotes constructive dialogue with shareholders to a reasonable extent. The Executive Officer in charge of IR oversees all aspects of dialogue with shareholders and works to enhance dialogue by assigning IR personnel to the IR Office and working with related departments such as General Affairs, Accounting, and Legal Sections in the Administration Division. In addition to holding individual meetings and teleconferences as necessary, JINS is working to enhance its means of dialogue by, for example, having management explain the company’s financial situation and management policies to shareholders and investors through semiannual financial results briefings, taking into consideration the wishes and interests of shareholders and investors in a comprehensive manner.

Initiatives

General Meeting of Shareholders

JINS positions the General Meeting of Shareholders as a valuable opportunity for dialogue with shareholders, and it is our policy to fully explain the agenda details, the status of our business, issues to be addressed, and questions and answers, etc. JINS’ Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is held in late November every year. In order to allow shareholders to fully consider the matters included in the meeting agenda, we disclose the contents of the convocation notice on our website prior to sending out the notice. In addition, for shareholders who are unable to attend the General Meeting of Shareholders, we accept advance questions and answer the questions that are likely to be of interest to many shareholders. We also live stream the Meeting on that day exclusively for shareholders. Furthermore, JINS has joined the “Electronic Voting Platform” operated by ICJ, Inc. to allow the electronic exercise of voting rights. This is an initiative for revitalizing the Meeting and facilitating the exercise of voting rights.

Shareholder Returns

Recognizing that a medium to long-term increase of shareholder value is our most important mandate, we have set a basic policy to enhance sufficient retained earnings for supporting future business development, as well as providing continuous and stable dividend payouts to our shareholders. Based on this policy, we pay an interim dividend and a year-end dividend respectively in accordance with the results of the first half and the second half, with a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30%.
These dividends are determined by the Board of Directors for the interim dividend and by the General Meeting of Shareholders for the year-end dividend. The Articles of Incorporation stipulate that "The Company may, by resolution of the Board of Directors, pay interim dividends to shareholders or registered pledgees of shares entered or recorded in the final register of shareholders as of the end of February of each year."

IR Activities

A department responsible for IR and a dedicated manager have been established to hold investor briefing sessions for analysts and institutional investors twice a year; once after the announcement of full-year financial results and once after the announcement of second quarter financial results. The financial results materials are then immediately published on JINS’ IR website. Other IR information, including financial information, timely disclosure information, annual securities reports, and materials from the General Meeting of Shareholders are published on our website.
