KITZ also has the detailed rules on management of internal information and insider transactions and educates officers and employees to completely operate the detailed rules.
Treatment of Earnings Forecasts and Forward-looking Information
Forward looking statements that include earnings forecasts disclosed by KITZ are based on information KITZ has obtained and certain assumptions KITZ judges reasonable, and KITZ shall give no guarantee for the realization of the statements. Additionally, please understand that actual business results may substantially differ from published earnings forecasts due to changes in economic or the business environment surrounding KITZ.
Quiet Period
KITZ sets as a quiet period the period from the day immediately after the closing date and before the announcement of the relevant financial statements to prevent the leakage of information affecting share prices to ensure fairness among shareholders and investors. During the quiet period, KITZ does not respond to questions or comment on the account settlement and earnings forecasts. However, KITZ timely discloses the information according to the timely disclosure rules when the probability emerges during the quiet period that large differences arise between earnings forecasts and actual business results.
