Social Aspects

Be with Shareholders and Investors

Distribution of profits

Pursuing the stable increase in dividends

While Aisin Seiki aims to stably increase dividends, the Company also recognizes that effective forward-looking investment is necessary for the continued growth of the Company and to secure profits for investors. Aisin Seiki endeavors to strike a balance in achieving both of these goals.

Information disclosure

Fair, timely and appropriate disclosure

AISIN strives to disclose information in a fair, timely and appropriate manner in order for all stakeholders, including investors and shareholders, to accurately understand the business activities of the Group.

Internal rules governing the disclosure of information define the management of important internal information as well as procedures and systems for disclosing information in a timely manner. Based on these rules, proposals and subjects brought up during meetings as well as material facts occurring both within and outside AISIN are immediately reported to information controllers (general managers of each division within Aisin Seiki; executive class officers in Group companies). After receiving a report, information controllers convene individual councils to report to the president of their company and take measures to disclose said information in a timely manner.

In addition, the Company holds announcements in Japan and abroad of quarterly business results, and widely publishes useful information using a variety of media, including the AISIN Report, reports published for shareholders, and a corporate website which includes the latest information on the Company.

General Meeting of Shareholders

Holding shareholders' meetings before other companies to increase attendance

Aisin Seiki holds shareholders' meetings early, avoiding dates crowded with other company shareholder meetings so that as many shareholders as possible can attend.

In 2011, the 88th General Meeting of Shareholders was held on June 21 and welcomed 285 persons, which exceeded the number from 2010.

Investor relations activities

Communicating with investors through presentations and our corporate website

In addition to announcements of quarterly business results and Company presentations to analysts and institutional investors held quarterly, Aisin Seiki responds to individual media coverage as required. The Company also holds presentations for overseas investors in Europe, North America and Asia roughly once per year.

In FY2010, Aisin Seiki launched a new website for individual investors. This site provides an easy-to-understand introduction to our Company and products. The Company updates the site regularly and delivers news releases and information updates by email.

Feedback and requests acquired through these communication routes are reflected in our business activities where possible.
