Basic Views
Based on our responsibilities as a publicly traded company, Nifco’s fundamental policy is to disclose corporate information in a timely manner.
We will endeavor to gain the understanding of many shareholders and investors by disclosing Nifco’s corporate philosophy, strategies, business plans, business performance, prospects, and other corporate information to outside parties in a timely manner.
Investor web page
We strive to provide the information needed by investors and disclose it on Nifco's website.
Recognizing the importance of the disclosure of corporate information to communicate widely with society, not just shareholders and investors, the consolidated financial results, annual securities report, and other shareholder correspondence are also available on the corporate website.
We also proactively disclose corporate information such as summaries of the quarterly financial results on Nifco's website.
In addition, we make timely information disclosures via our offical X account and when requested, by IR news email.
General Meeting of Shareholders
The General Meeting of Shareholders is held at a venue in Tokyo’s Minato ward on the date avoiding the peak dates for the shareholders meetings to enable the participation of as many shareholders as possible.
We have also introduced an electronic voting platform by ICJ, Inc. as the best and safest way for institutional investors to exercise their rights to vote.
The Smart Vote system operated by Mizuho Trust & Banking has been introduced so individual investors can also easily and safely exercise their voting rights online by scanning the designated QR code.
For overseas investors, we will post the notice of convocation with the agenda and the notice of resolution in English on Nifco's website.
