However, even if it is during the relevant period of silence, in the event that there is an important fact that is judged to have a significant influence on investors' investment judgments, or in the event that disclosure is necessary based on a law, ordinance, or regulations for timely disclosure, we will conduct timely and appropriate information disclosure.
