System for Investor Relation Activities
In its communications with shareholders and investors, Anritsu Corporation strives to achieve higher shareholder satisfaction by transparently conveying its corporate value in stock prices and return to shareholders. To this end, we conduct IR activities under the leadership of the IR Promotion Team of the Corporate Communication Department. Comments by shareholders and investors are shared with our Information Disclosure Committee, which includes members of management, and at the IR Promotion Meeting along with information on the participation of those responsible for IR activities in the Corporate Planning, Accounting and Legal Affairs Departments. This feedback is also used for improving information disclosure and business activities.
Activities in Fiscal 2010
Since the Anritsu Corporation does not come into direct contact with general consumers through its worldwide business, our IR activities are intended to faithfully inform shareholders about our business structure profit model, and other factors that affect our business results. Our ongoing activities include quarterly briefings for international institutional investors; roundtable conferences for shareholders during our general shareholders’ meeting; annual reports, business reports and other publications; and the disclosure of information on the website.
In fiscal 2010, in addition to quarterly financial reports and an explanation of our Mid-term Business Plan, we reported on the procurement of 10 billion yen of yen-based convertible bonds with subscription rights to share in the Euro market and an equity offering of 19.20 million shares, which accounted for about 15% of all shares. We also responded to inquiries and comments from shareholders and investors. Furthermore, we conducted a Web-based shareholder questionnaire and proactively provided information to a broad range of investors through the posting of corporate and IR information on external financial information sites.
