The Dai-ichi Life Insurance Company, Limited has established the following fundamental attitude and policy regarding its investor relations:
1. Purpose
The Dai-ichi Life Insurance Company, Limited (the "Company"), through its IR activities, strives to provide information regarding its management strategies, financial condition, financial results, and others to shareholders, investors and securities analysts (collectively the "Investors" ) in a fair and timely manner. By making efforts to accurately deliver such information, the Company strives to obtain trust and proper evaluation from the financial markets.
2. Fundamental Policy
The Company commits itself to conduct fair disclosure in accordance with (1) laws and ordinances including the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (the "Act") and (2) Securities Listing Regulations (the "Regulation") of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (the "TSE"). The Company will also make fair and timely disclosure of information which is not required to be disclosed by such laws, ordinances and the Regulation, but which it believes helps the Investors achieve a better understanding of the Company.
3. Method of Disclosure
Information which is required by the Act will be disclosed through EDINET (Electronic Disclosure for Investors' NETwork), an online disclosure system provided by the Financial Services Agency of Japan.
The Company discloses information that the Regulation requires through TDnet (Timely Disclosure network) provided by the TSE.
The Company also provides relevant information to the Investors in the form of news releases, annual reports, and conferences. Generally, the information to be disclosed will also be available on the Company's website, with the goal of conducting fair disclosure.
4. Feedback to the Company's Management
Requests and opinions obtained from the Investors will be reported to the Company's management to be considered and shared within the Company to improve its corporate value.
5. IR Quiet Period
In order to prevent unfair disclosure of its financial results, the Company establishes a three-week period before each announcement date for its quarterly financial results as a "Quiet Period", during which it refrains from, among others, answering inquiries regarding its financial results and holding individual IR meetings. However, even during such periods, the Company will make an announcement as necessary if there is a risk that results could differ materially from previously announced estimates.
