Basic approach

We disclose information in a fair and timely manner to ensure that our stakeholders, including shareholders and other investors properly understand and trust AISIN.

System

We report immediately to individual sectors and information controllers in group companies (general managers within Aisin Seiki; executive class in group companies) in connection with issues involving individual councils and important facts occurring inside and outside AISIN.

Information controllers who receive reports convene meetings of assessment committees consisting of the representatives of Corporate Planning Dept., Finance & Accounting Dept., and Legal affairs Dept. Decisions are reached at these meetings on whether or not it is necessary to disclose information at appropriate times in light of the rules of disclosure laid down by securities exchanges. The decisions are reported to directors and promptly disclosed through TD net^* and other means. Furthermore, the Aisin Seiki website contains a variety of corporate information and includes an e-mail notification service for all who wish to stay abreast of statements of account and news releases.

In addition, to prevent insider trading we obtain written pledges from each officer and related employee concerning information management and trading of stock and other instruments. We also conduct educational sessions on insider trading regulations as needed, as part of our efforts to raise awareness.
