Shareholders and Investors

Policy Regarding Constructive Dialogs with Shareholders

Prestige International established a department in charge of investor relations (IR) at the Group’s general management headquarters.
To provide opportunities for shareholders to gain a deeper understanding of the Group’s business activities and management philosophy, the Group sponsors shareholder meetings at BPO centers and small meetings for institutional investors at BPO bases. In addition, the Group has been sponsoring company briefings for shareholders within the Tokyo metropolitan area since 2019.
The basic policy regarding systems and initiatives for promoting constructive dialogs with shareholders and investors is as follows:

1. With regard to dialogs with shareholders, as a rule the CEO and staff in charge of IR conduct a direct interview with shareholders in order to achieve constructive dialogs.
2. A cross-sectional system has been constructed to enable the staff in charge of IR to fully communicate with the staff in other departments.
3. In addition to endeavoring to know the shareholder composition, measures are in place to promote constructive dialogs with shareholders, such as sending out shareholder newsletters and holding financial results briefings following the announcement of financial results.
4. The CEO and staff in charge of IR regularly provide feedback to the Board of Directors on the status of the dialogs. Feedback is also regularly provided to the top executives of Prestige Core Solution Inc. (hereinafter “PCS”), which handles domestic BPO business activities; Prestige Global Solution Inc. (hereinafter “PGS”), which handles overseas BPO business activities; and other Group companies.
5. As a necessary measure to ensure fairness among shareholders and market integrity, as well as guarantee shareholders’ stock-trading freedom, financial results briefings and interviews with shareholders elaborate on information that has already been made public, and the Group does not disclose nor explain important facts that are undisclosed.
