When the Board of Directors' meeting is held, the Legal Department also reminds the directors and managers present of the prohibition of insider trading under Article 157-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act in the event of major issues or proposals that may affect the Company's stock price.

Our Board of Directors has passed a resolution on “Procedures for the Prevention of Insider Trading”, which requires any staff participating in projects involving confidential information that may have a major impact on share prices to sign an “Prevention of Insider Trading Letter of Undertaking” and “Non-disclosure Agreement”.

If a meeting of the Board of Directors involves major issues or motions that may have an impact on the company’s share price, our legal department will remind the directors and managers present of the regulations prohibiting insider trading under Article 157-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

When carrying out ECM-related training, personnel from our legal department will educate staff on the regulations prohibiting insider trading.
